LINK In India, Muslims Are Being Arrested for Allegedly Committing “Love Jihad” | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos
Two months ago, a jewelry company in India made global headlines when they had to pull a perfectly fine commercial because it showed an Indian woman celebrating her baby shower… with her husband, who happened to be Muslim. Hindu Nationalists described the ad with the derogatory term “love jihad.”
Like opponents of interracial marriage, they couldn’t handle the idea of one of their own becoming, in their weird warped minds, impure.

Just as Trump threatened world's oldest continuous democracy, Modi threatens world largest democracy. Last year they backed terrorist attacks against Muslims in Indonesia. They have initiated border disputes with China. Don't get me wrong, China and Muslims as a whole have investigated this behavior.

It goes on all over the world, some places more strict than the other. I recall when mixed race marriages were huge scandals in this country. We are not so far removed...
