Love Jihad conspiracy theory

Love jihad conspiracy theory is an idea that some people have made up to suggest that Muslims (people who follow Islam) are trying to trick non-Muslim women into relationships and marriage in order to convert them to Islam. People who believe in this theory think that Muslim men are pretending to be in love with these women in order to make them convert. This conspiracy theory has been around for many years and has been used to spread panic and fear about Muslims. In reality, there is no evidence that this is happening, and it is usually just a way to keep non-Muslims and Muslims apart.
