Section 7.6: Muslim: I Want to Convert to Jain

Wasim says:

Muslims are not treated with the same respect as people of other religion because they are like that. Being from the same religion, I am making a bold statement saying this and I might have to face consequences.

Here’s my story. My girlfriend is a Jain and she has also read these posts (at InterfaithShaadi) and got so badly influenced that she almost had a nervous breakdown. But, I am not as you guys have been stereotyping other Muslim boys here. For the sake of my love and commitment to my relationship, I want to do something that no one does. I want to convert to Jainism. Our children will be given Jain names. I am a vegetarian by choice since last 4 years. It is even before meeting the love of my life.

As far as my parents are concerned, they know about her and me. They respect our relationship too. I know I will hurt them by converting into Jainism, but I am sure that they will understand. I don’t want my love to face any sort of problem. As far as my relatives are concerned—to hell with them. We are better off without the relatives from my side. Those who respect my love will be with us, those who don’t; won’t have my respect either.

Before you so called Islamic centered guys start hitting me with bullshit, I am not interested in answering you. I don’t have a fight with religion; I have a fight against orthodox enemies of love. Because of the influential people who misinterpret our holy books, innocent people like us have to suffer. But, for love, I will do the right thing. Bye closed minded rigid people.

I believe in one God, and will continue paying my gratitude in my own way, unbound by the rituals. Thanks! —Wasim
