A prominent Christian politician in India, Derek o Brien, went to Pakistan to connect with his relatives. He found they had almost all converted to Islam
This is so sad. And the harsh reality is most Muslims alive today are the descendants of ppl who were forced to convert or be killed. Here’s the story of how a man who was raised Muslim (and to hate Jews) discovered his family were actually Jewish: https://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/A-Jewish-Palestinian-Arab-Muslim-discovers-hes-really-Jewish-581184 …https://twitter.com/SavvyAuntie/status/1185615068421074944 …
My very religious Jewish grandparents and great-grandparents - and all Jews of Mashhad, Iran - were forced to covert to Islam - or they’d be killed. So while very different, I felt a connection to your story and admire your bravery and tenacity.

Emir Kusturica has a similar story to say: “My father was an atheist and he always described himself as a Serb. OK, maybe we were Muslim for 250 years, but we were Orthodox before that and deep down we were always Serbs, religion cannot change that"
