Bangalore (Agenzia Fides) - Islamic Fundamentalists and Hindu radicals are infiltrating into the Christian community and Christian NGOs in India: their goal is to obtain material that can be used against Christians, especially on the Internet and through social networks. This is the alarm reported to Fides by the "Catholic Secular Forum", an ecumenical NGO working in India for the rights of Christians. The militants, who act as "spies", then pass the information obtained to extremist political parties and terrorist organizations. The information relates to conversions, baptism certificates, details about the members of the community, records concerning property. Much information is internal and confidential, but the radicals intend to make it public to support their sick thesis (for example: " Christians carry out fraudulent conversions") and incite anti-Christian hatred.
According to the CSF and other Christian NGOs, the spread of celebrations on baptisms and marriages of converted Christian on the web has increased, with photos and videos, that the radical use for their purposes, as what happened recently concerning the Protestant Pastor C. M. Khanna in Kashmir, accused of having manipulated and converted to Christianity Muslim boys. The CSF stresses to Fides that the circulation of false information endangers the lives of the converted and many Christians and is likely to generate a new wave of violence against Christians.
