Some Muslims think they can get more converts if they can persuade us that scientists and particularly Western Scientists are converting in droves as soon as they see any verse of the Quran, the Scientific miracles crap.
this isn’t true of course. So what do they do? They make them up! Here’s a classic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauder_Brunton Sir Thomas Lauder Brunton, 1st Baronet, FRS.
yes they claim that this famous Physician converted to Islam. Evidence for this…. absolutely none. They claim went to India and converted. Rubbish, here is his grave, look like a Muslim?
So what made them think they could get away it. Well most Muslims don’t bother to check anything, why would they, who would think that people would be so lazy, incompetent or downright mendacious to *falsely* claim that he did.
Is there anything in the story at all ? Well a Brunton did convert in the 1920s , his son who was a barrister. Easy to mix them up? Only if you can’t be bothered to spend 5 mins on google.
at least there are some honest Muslims around.
