Again why should we have an issue, if the converted does not have an issue - in spite of the lying and what not.

So if, within the bounds of my knowledge, one person is seeking to convert another out of Hinduism, I most certainly will have issues with that. I consider their religions false and in many ways primitive and narrow-minded.
I think there is some confusion between the role we play as citizens of a nation-state, and the role we play as members of a religious community.
