Coversions through fradulent means may be a more "peaceable activity" compared to forced conversions but is by no means more acceptable.

I gave the example of giving uneducated, superstitious people Tylenol for a headache, then telling them Jesus made the headache go away.

Can you give any more examples of how conversion by fraud can occur?

Nobody has spoken out in favor of fraud, which, as far as I know, is illegal everywhere. It would be helpful to the discussion if you would define your terms.

Examples of these? And proof that these conversions actually worked (i.e. the persons didn't turn around the next day and become Hidnu again?). Let's give one example -- the Satya Sai Baba (the guy with the wild afro, not Sai Baba) -- I think he's a con man, who insults the name of Sai Baba, but do I consider it necessary to ban him? Not really, because he sticks within the law. If he crossed it and robbed people, then book him, but there are true holy men in India who would be affected if you made a blanket ban
