<option weight="1">{{Pictorial-Islam|1=Hans Raj Hans' Alleged Conversion to Islam|2=[[File:Hans Raj Hans.jpg|170px|link=Hans Raj Hans - Conversion to Islam]]|3=The claim of Hans Raj Hans' conversion to Islam is the product of an inaccurate media story originating from a February 19, 2014 interview with the singer conducted by a local news agency in Pakistan. Hans Raj Hans, Navraj Hans and Yuvraj Hans have all made public statements concerning the story's inaccuracy, stating in no uncertain terms that it is false. The singer did not convert from Sikhism to Islam and is not a Muslim.
Hans makes no secret of his respect for Islam, Sufi saints or Pakistan. This is not surprising considering his style of music or the fact that Pakistan houses the first Gurdwara (Sikh worship place) ever built. Just as his respect for Pakistan does not make him a Pakistani, respecting Islam does not make Hans Raj a Muslim. It does however make it easier to proliferate false stories concerning both.

Mahmoud Asgari (16) and Ayaz Marhoni (18) were Iranian teens who were publicly hanged in July 2005 for engaging in consensual homosexual sex. Similar incidents occur regularly throughout the Islamic world. Homosexuality is considered to be one of the worst sins in Islam and one of the greatest crimes punishable under Islamic law. The Prophet Muhammad not only condemned homosexuality but even the "appearance" of homosexuality (effeminate men and masculine women). With the rise of the Islamic population amongst historically non-Muslim societies, also comes the rise in persecution. For example, while Muslims comprise just 2% of the total British population, they commit 25% of all anti-Homosexual crimes. However, this ongoing and increasing persecution of homosexuals by Muslims around the world, rarely makes the mainstream news. (read more)
