| ‘Love jihad’ email probe widens |
| 2011-05-28 |
| Police have escalated investigations into the circulation of an email which claims that the Popular Front of India (PFI) is actively engaged in Love Jihad, promoting conversion of girls from other faiths to Islam. PFI state general secretary P. Abdul Hameed said that the organization had noticed the email around three months ago. He said, "We have lodged a complaint with the Kozhikoide Commissioner of Police in March after we came to know about the mail." "After we lodged the complaint we came to know that somebody has tendered an apology for circulating such a mail," he added. “But we stand by our complaint. We suspect a foul play behind the episode." The message says that those who take initiative in converting girls of other faiths into Islam will be suitably rewarded. It details various amounts to be given for those who convert girls from upper caste, OBC and from various Christian denominations. The contact addresses given are those of the various offices of the PFI. |

| #1 If they aren't the ones organizing it, it's certainly the zeitgeist. In Britain as well as in India, this has been going on for years. |
