Naren,
Muttalrige estu helidru artha agalla, avarige avaradde raga,
We have thousands of Indian nurses working in Saudi Arabia mostly from Kerala and mostly non-muslims, But, only a very little percentage have changed their faith,
What you are mentioning here is all false, bogus and baseless,

Syed,
When the people who associate partners with ALLAH revert and Worship ALLAH alone... They are already be forgiven for their Past Sin. ALLAH is most forgiving and most merciful....
May Allah forgive us and make us one of the inheriters of the Jannah.

Islam is the only religion accept by the almighty ALLAH (God) . Please make a research Y God accept only ISLAM. There is a life after death... We Muslims know that and U never understand this cos the Guidance comes only when U learn about the CREATOR who created U, ME and all that EXists...

Read QURAN with translation... U can also check online , i prefer Quranproject which is well explained to those who dont know about ISLAM and the one GOD who is the God of all that exists.

Finally Read it and U also have the choice to accept it or Not ... There is no compulsion in Religion... (What a better way Allah gives u the choice to accept it or not)

Bengaluru, Jan 24: After the visit of fact finding committee members to the spot, the Christian community here decided to submit a report to the state government urging to install a 114-ft. statue of Jesus Christ at Kapala Betta in Kanakapura taluk of Ramanagaram district, Congress MLC Ivan D’souza said here on Thursday.

While talking to media, Mr D’souza said the committee would submit the report to Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa and Revenue Minster R. Ashok and urge the government to construct the statue at the earliest.

The RSS and other BJP outfits have strongly opposed the installation, following which the government ordered suspension of the work. A few days ago, Kalladka Prabhakar, RSS ideologue, took out a rally in Kanakapura opposing the installation.
