I'm sorry to say, but from past experience all the Hindus/Sikhs that
I know that have married a muslim have HAD to convert. Some even had to change
their name.
What is even more infuriating is that where I live, we are faced with propaganda
leaflets that appear on the streets that encourage mulsim men to marry and convert
Hindu/Sikh women.Obviously this is just a minority.
But the truth is, once she's married to a muslim, she can only wait to see if they
will force her to convert.
Some people are alot nicer than their religion allows.
