Why do the Christian Missionaries target to convert Hindus and not Muslims or Buddhists in India ?

The Hindus in India are a very soft target for the Christian missionaries to execute their well planed conversion strategies. Christian Organizations head quartered abroad directly or indirectly spend millions of dollars in India to convert as many Indians(Hindus) to Christianity. Why India is a favorite hunting ground of the Christian missionaries and no other poor Islamic country is targeted with similar drive and zeal ??

    Worse still, they export Christian fools like Dinesh D'Souza, an Indian whose family converted during a Portuguese invasion.

    Christians target Hindus because they are the majority. I don't know why they ignore the Sikhs.

    The main reason for this is Hindus' apathy towards their religion and what its consequences could be in the future despite living in slavery for 1000 years. Only radicalisation of Hindus can stop missionary agenda in India. Muslims are all radicalised and they won't even allow missionaries to enter their countries. Even a poor Muslim is aware of the missionary agenda of global domination.

    Another things is Hindus' false notion that all religions are true path to God. Hindus need to understand that Christianity, like Islam is nothing more that political ideology of spreading empires. Christianity and Islam both are used to spread empires.

    Also look at apathy of Hindus that they are persecuted in Christians majority countries and they celebrate Christmas shamelessly. This is only Hindus can do.

    Muslims in general are aggressive in nature and Christian Missionaries have no guts to convert them.In India,political parties like Indian National Congress,Communists parties,DMK,SP,BSP etc oppose Hinduism in principle in the name of Secularism and so the Missionaries get encouraged in converting Hindus only.

    Missionaries are well trend. They know the weakness of poor people staying in villages.

    Villagers are illiterate and it is easy to convince them rather than convince literate.

    Economically and socially back ward class is in need of love from some one. Missionaries

    behave in that way. Our society is divided and politicians are inters ted in the division.

    Muslims are arrogant. They are mad in the name of religion. Buddhas are Hindus They

    first take benefits of laws under quota system and then convert them self as Buddha or

    Christians.

    Muslims will kick their butts.

    Buddhists ignore them, because buddhism is not a religion but a way of life.

    They can easily convert poor people in Hindus because of poverty. They do this by luring those poor people showing them heaven in their palm.

    These poor people are very easy prey for those dirty christian missionaries.

    I guess you've answered your own question?

    I figure it's like the feds busting folks smoking dope, right?

    I have no idea whether you are correct or not, so I'm going waaayyy out on a limb and assuming you aren't making this all up. Assuming you're telling the truth, I have no idea why Buddhists wouldn't be targetted.

    Muslims? Are you KIDDING????? Just like the guys selling heroin the feds don't like to mess with, the Muslims shoot back and they ain't afraid of losing.

    Maybe they were trained to help the Hindus the most. Those are the ones they are concentrating on right now. In order to convert someone from another religion you need to have some understanding of that particular religion and culture to relate to the people. God gave them a special love for those people. Rejoice that they are being helped.
