According to muslims the first human beings on earth were adam alaihessalam and hawwa alaihessalam and were muslims.
Lastly – you cant force someone to practice a faith – for example if someone tortures you to convert to islam what will you do ?? you will say on face that u believe but in reality you wont believe. In front of him you may act as a muslim but inside yr homes you will teach yr kids yr own religion. Hence it I spractically impossible to force any belief on someone.

So in reality all hindus can trace their roots back to muslims in the form of adam & hawwa alaihessalam.

Thats according to ISlam ,a religion that was started after sanatan vedic dharma ,and still it claims that first people were muslim? Preposterous.

Take the example of most hindu kids – most hindu parents force them into vegetarianism – but when they grow up – they do as per their wish – and most start eating non-veg.Non veg isn't essential part of vedic-dharma, except the priestly class, anybody is allowed to eat ,except beef which no hindu does eat.And hindus are no more orthodox, which is why people eat nveg, although a minority.

Hence Islam or for that matter any religion can never be forced upon someone.

& according to islam a person who forces other person to convert to islam is himself ignorant about Islamic teachings - now imagine a person who is himself ignorant about islamic teachings taking the pains to convert others. This is contradictory.

Yes, that is what happens when you are converted by force, you will teach your kids something about your religion and some about your earlier religion, but when centuries pass, slowly your decendants will get into the religion and esp since theres no way back to accept hinduism(as hindus don't believe in evangelists).

And for forced conversion, you can see thousands of tribals converting to christianity ,by taking a dip in a "DRUM" of water! lol! What do you call this?

The same would have taken place back then. Historical records suggest that the many of the "nine jewels" of Akbar's court were hindu initially, the singer tanseen was hindu (but was forced to convert), same is case of birbal, todarmal etc.

Pratap Rao Gujar was sent to delhi and there he was purposefully kept with muslim consorts so it would encourage him to change religion, and he did. But shivaji knew this and he reconverted him to hinduism knowing his skills of military commandership.

In current life I have many muslim friends whose sir name is hindu and still they are muslim and note that they are originally from area where muslim rule was dominant.

And if you have converted will fully, why only conversions have taken place in MUSLIM ruled area and none other?
