Muslim extremists who try to force teenage Hindu girls to convert to Islam are being targeted in a new police crackdown.

The recruiters – often paid £5,000 for each success – are stepping up 'aggressive conversion' tactics, especially around universities, religious leaders believe.

The Metropolitan Police have stepped in after commissioner Sir Ian Blair said many Hindus felt neglected by Scotland Yard.

Some young students have been beaten up and forced to abandon their courses by extremists, Hindu leaders told a security conference.

Islamic extremists invited the girls on dates before beginning campaigns of 'terrorism' until they converted, they claimed.

Ramesh Kallidai, from the Hindu Forum of Britain, said: 'Extremist Muslims make life miserable for Hindu girls.

'Some are petrified; they feel these men have complete hold on them.

One girl was beaten up in the street and others have been forced to leave university.'

The problem was most common in cities such as Birmingham, Leeds and Bradford, he added, while London universities had 'at least two or three cases' each.

Mr Kallidai estimated hundreds of girls had been targeted, with some reports of Muslim boys being offered £5,000 'commissions'.

The National Union of Students said it did not want to discriminate against Muslims but agreed some extremists were causing concern.

They have managed to infiltrate Brunel University in West London, Bedfordshire University, Sheffield Hallam University and Manchester Metropolitan University, according to a Muslim charity.

Sheikh Musa Admani, a 'troubleshooting' imam, fears many radicals are easily by-passing university bans on extremist sects such as Hizb ut Tahrirs and Al-Mujahiroun.

Scotland Yard is to set up a Hindu Safety Forum with 'aggressive conversion' as its top priority.

Sir Ian said: 'There is a feeling in the Hindu community that we have not given them as much attention as other groups.'

Wasn't there something previously about Sikh girls in the UK? They were sending pamphlets teaching others how to lure Sikh women and convert them. There was one story on the net where a UK Sikh girl converted and ended up being deserted in a Pakistani whore house by her "husband"

there is no such thing as forced conversion. i think there is no need to worry about these demee type shameless bithes cause our religion is getting purified from these whores . mostly hindu/sikh women are proud and will never gave up their religion cause they fancy some guy.

I came across this news article, and I was actually stunned that such thing exists. I thought that it was an urban story, but I guess it is true!

I'd probably be tempted to convert people as well if I was offered £5000. I'd have to brush up on my women-beating skills though.

sikh turning Muslim?

Yeah? The number is pretty small though over here. A lot of Hindus and Sikhs do have a Muslim bf/gf at some point in their life (can't help being a curious teenager), but most of them don't end up marrying them.

express urself u are making a lot of generalizations here. there is no such thing as curiosity factor u are making us sound like we are sexually promiscious which we are not..

If the girls want to convert, date out of religion, theres nothing anyone can do, as it is their choice. There has been 'forceful' conversions done to many Hindu/Sikh girls...

This is a known problem in England, as the Punjabis in Canada/America keep saying, that the Pakistani gangs wouldnt dare do anything like this on Sikhs there, or they will get 'killed' lol. There was a group or known as a "gang" by people, Shere-E-Punjab who would go around beating up these these kind of people, protect the Sikh/Hindu girls, back in the 1990s.

you might not be talking about sex but if an outsider reads this it implies more or less sex... hence. agree with you on all counts.

well this ist a issue in canada. sikh women marrying muslims is kinda rare here. how big is it a problem in uk. i have heard sikh women are the most currupted ones there.

I will change my post then, but the next post clarifies to anyone else that I'm not talking about sex.
Maybe it's because there are so many Sikhs in Canada. Even white people know what a Sikh is and what a Punjabi is. In the UK, there seems to be more Muslims so the numbers of a non-Muslim ending up with a Muslim becomes higher. I've even heard girls in my city complaining how there's not enough Sikhs or Hindus to date/marry. From what I see, Muslim parents have bigger families in the West and that increases the population.

there are lots of sikhs in UK. probably sikhs in uk are not as "ghairatmand" as canadian sikhs.

Anyone who takes religon seriously enough to go out and try to convert other ppl has serious issues.

The Sikh sommunity in the UK is just as large as Canada, and the Muslim community is larger than the Sikh community in Canada as well. There is no real difference between British Sikhs and Canadian Sikhs, nor are there any stats on the intermarriage rates between Sikhs and Muslims.

The way how people talk online make it seem like Sikhs dominate the Desi diaspora in Canada I have a Muslim friend in Canada, who says she will probably end up marrying a Sikh guy because there aren't too many Muslim guys where she is.

Jatt how about you stop picking on deeme in every post you make, it makes you look shameless and pathetic.

he didn't even talk to deeme on this thread

I would be too. I would get £5000 just for converting myself.

Haven't you read his first post in this thread?

*Cough* Islamic fundamentalists *Cough*

It has been advertised very much by the community leaders...but then again what can the anyone do if Hindu/Sikh girls want to date and convert?...its their choice what they do. The Hindu UK community is now involving the police as it is probably getting out of hand.

There is a big population of Panjabi-Sikhs in UK...but apparently theres more in Canada now. Also more 'Gurmat'/Sikh Schools etc in Canada compared to UK...Canadian/American are known to be more 'militant'.

The Canadian-Punjabis have more population in areas like Vancouver/Toronto/Calgary and are more populated in areas together, similar to the Punjabi-Americans in places like California and New York...in comparison to UK Sikhs who are scattered around more in different town/cities across the UK.

The reason why inter-religious relationships between Hindus/Sikhs and Muslims are more common in the UK is not necessarily because there are more Muslims, but because the number of South Asian Muslims is larger in the UK, so it's because of similar ethnic and cultural origins (e.g. between Punjabi Indians and Punjabi Pakis).

(e.g. between Punjabi Indians and Punjabi Pakis).

I have to agree with Jatts here (shockingly). Indian Punjabis really don't have all that much in common with Pakistani Punjabis, even when it comes to language. In Pakistani Punjab they primarily use Landha along with with the Shahmukhi script rather than Gurumukhi script. Half of my family comes from Lahore (pre-partition) and we really don't have much in common with the people living there today, as most of the people who were like us moved to India.

From my experience only (both online and offline), Pakistani Punjabis do seem want to be associated with Indian Punjabis only (not other Indians) or they will say that "We're the same". It might be because the word "punjabi" is often associated with Indian Sikhs and Pakistanis also want to retain their Punjabi identity. It's a habit for Indians to just use the word Muslim and Pakistani as if it's something totally different, but Pakistanis also want to be recognized as being Punjabi...so they probably feel why not lump the Indian Punjabis with them.

I've had the opposite experience. Some Pakistani Punjabis around here are so out of touch with their heritage that they don't even know the significance of eating Saag (Spinach) during Lordi.

Although, to be fair, most of the Pakistanis I know in person are from Karachi and they seem to preserve their Sindhi heritage quite well. From my experience, they get along with Gujaratis quite well and usually get along with Indians in general. Its the Pakistani Punjabis that seem more inclined upon segregation around here, but I guess it varies from area to area.....

wot are you talking about. punjabi sikhs have nothing in common with muslim punjabis of pakistan except common punjabi language. i know this might sound inappropriate in this forum but sikhs hate muslim punjabis of pakistan. we are nothing like pakistanis. you will never find salwar kamig wearing sikhs or shuttle cawk burka wearing sikh women. i feel pity for those few sikh women who marry pakis and degrade themselves to the level of pakistanis.

That may be true for America or Canada, but it's not exactly the same in Britain (which is what I was referring to). There is a lot more unity among Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans in the UK as far as I've noticed (maybe the label "Asian" really does bring them closer?). As for British Punjabis, some of them don't even refer to themselves as "Indian" or "Pakistani", but just Punjabi. (For example, the Rishi Rich crew members hardly ever mention whether they are Indian or Pakistani in interviews, but they would always say they are either Asian or Punjabi.)

i have heard indian sikhs and hindus in uk dont wanna be lumped with pakis and bangladeshis under asian label. sikhs have a reputation of being brave and big whereas pakistani punjabis are seen as pussies. sikh men dance bhangra and women dance gidha whereas pakistanis dont even know about gidha and bhangra. punjabi culture revolve around sikhs.

Indeed. The Indian Sikhs are the superior master race of South Asia.

moreover indian punjabis have a glow on their faces whereas pakistani punjabis look dull with no life.

its not about sikhs being better than anyone else. wot i mean is real punjabi culture revolved around sikhs. if you go in pakistani punjab, you wil see salwar kamig wearing men everywhere. women wear burkas. punjabi language is fading out of punjab and people speak urdu. all punjabi music is coming out of indian punjab. not many people even know about the existence of pakistani punjab. pakistani punjabis contribution to anything punjabi is zero. moreover indian punjabis have a glow on their faces whereas pakistani punjabis look dull with no life.
