I am glad that you mentioned gandhi's son, Harilal Gandhi, to push your claim that islam is being readily aceppted,

here's a link where you can also find his details,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harilal_Gandhi

For those who dont want to click on the link, Lemme lift the line which explains who harilal gandhi was

"He became a Muslim convert, an alcoholic, and an embezzler; accounts of his arrests, public drunkenness, and destitution became commonplace. When Harilal converted to Islam, he adopted the name "Abdullah Gandhi", but later again converted back to Hinduism. This decision did not bother his father, who believed that all religions were as one, but his mother felt that he should not be publicly displaying this back-and-forth behavior.[He became a Muslim convert, an alcoholic, and an embezzler; accounts of his arrests, public drunkenness, and destitution became commonplace.

Now Mr Kumbakaran, wake up from your sleep and open your eyes. I hope you can read Muslim, Alchoholi, embezzeller, in one line??? and did you also read the reaction what his father gave?? in fact his mother was angry when he converted back to hinduism as she felt that his back and forht behavior was bad.. I am sure if a muslim would have converted then his father, mother, uncles, aunts, every body would have waited in a queue to slice and dice him for regaining thier honor.. Islam advocates death penalty for converting out.. As a hindu , i am ashamed to say that divisions based on caste still exists. I can also proudly say that what the manusmriti says on caste division is bad and wrong. I can also say that if the vedas advocate untouchability then i say that they are wrong. See this is what being a hindu is all about. I can say this things without the fear of some maniac waiting to cut my head off. My religion has given me the freedom to choose and to decide whats best for me. I am sure other religions, except islam, have also evolved and have given such a freedom to thier followers.. Can you say the same thing about Islam?

Shia Sunni wars have claimed more lives that the crusades. Ahhmedias have been tortured. Any one even questioning the Koran have been stabbed, shot, blown, & stonned. I am sure no man without any compulsion, or the persecution by his own faith, guilt of sin will convert..

You also said that people dont TOmTom when they leave Islam and take thier fellow brethen with them. I cant help but laugh at you statement.. which sane person wants to wag a red cloth in front of a raging bull?? certainly not me.. If i want to leave a faith which advocates death to people who convert out , then ill quietly pack my bags and leave. who wants headhunters behind thier backs??

TIME TO WAKE UP MY BROTHER!
