“Love Jihad” is an utterly stupid term that instantly discredits anyone who uses it as fundamentally unserious. Not possible to have a genuine (and important) conversation about radical strains of Islam with people who spout such nonsense.

The concept of 'Love Jihad' and the idea that is exists not as isolated romantic liaisons that cross vthe Hindu-Muslim divide but as an organised strategy involving the entire community, is dearly held by the bigots of Hindutva. It is the oxygen that fans their hate.

Your condescending opinions disconnect from the ground realities makes you a soft target for trolling. Sometimes I wonder what's your objective on this space.

I’ve read Dhume - he’s a vestige of colonization, articles are mostly anti India and always anti Hindu. Lack objective thought forget about higher level meta points. Highly time WSJ get some non woke to cover India than NPC Dhume

Should we call a certain type of behavior "love jihad"? I'm not sure if that's the correct terminology, but here I try to show that this isn't an unheard-of concept. In fact, British cops have referred to it as "lover boy" model.

Dude you got to wake up and smell the roses. It's happening all over the world, and since decades. It's only picked up pace now. Grooming Gangs of UK are a reality as are similar incidents in other European countries. Ask Rishi Sunak, he'll tell you all about it.

You’re right, the term itself came from Kerala church leaders I think. we need better and more descriptive terms for the several underlying sub-phenomena.

Any girl(18+) has all rights to choose her partner. She can choose to marry a man from any religion. So what is Love Jihad(LJ)? A hoax? LJ is when a guy hides his religion to trap a girl, threatens her convert else kills her.

Love-Jihad is a form of Islamic extremism. It doesn't matter whether you accept it or deny it.
Sitting in an AC room in DC and washing gan@ by tissue for a long time and giving lectures won't change the fact. There is thousands of evidence of Love-Jihad.

Need to learn some history of Muslim conquests or even of Christian conquests
Do you think these religions from desert like place dominated the world population without force or conversion 😂
People support Aryan invasion or migration or whatever naming, use the same reason🙃

Mr. Dhume sitting in Manhattan is the expert on all matters India. I am sure he is friends with Barkha Dutt and Arundathi Roy and that is all he needs to confirm his thinking on India and Indians

A ludicrous name for a real, easily observable phenomenon that even we in the West are aware of.
Many terms like this exist: it’s a phenomenon known as simplifying language. “Religiously-motivated illicit conversions” is hard to fit on a front page, you see?
