Anti-Muslim Gun Range bans a Hindu

Back in September, the owner of the Gun Cave Indoor Shooting Range in Arkansas announced that her business would become a “Muslim-free zone.” .... However, an anonymous father and son of South Asian descent have accused the business of turning them away even though they’re Hindu, not Muslim. “I’m not Muslim, I’m just brown,” one of the rejected patrons told local media.

Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Mexican ... Shucks, what's the difference?

I wonder if they would turn away Bobby Jindal or Nikki Haley?

There is such a deep hatred between Muslims and Hindus that must hurt.
The creation of Pakistan lead to a great slaughter of members of both religions.

After 9/11 a number of Sikhs were attacked being mistaken for Muslims.

I believe most Americans do not see a difference between Muslim/Hindus/Sikhs etc.

It's similar to the anti-American sentiment that I might experience if I travel outside of the country just because of asshole baggers who I fucken hate.

I'm sure there are millions of Muslims that hate the fuck out of Muslim terrorists just as much as I hate our baggers. Muslim terrorists and American baggers are cut from the same cloth.

I would say Pakistani's rather than Muslims.
Four out of the thirteen presidents of India have been Muslims and though the post carries the power, it is seldom exercised. Some would say this is a token gesture to appease the Muslims in India since the president is not directly elected.

IMHO way, way too many white Americans see a difference only between themselves and everybody else.
