These stories typically are spread by people who think that Indian Hindus are Muslim.
Yup, happens all the time.
My personal experience is of an Indian Hindu family buying the local liquor store. Although the previous white American family were cordial enough, the Hindu family couldn't be more polite and helpful.
Just recently I asked the elder Father if he had any more of the pint size rum I drink in the storage room. He apologized and stopped all business transactions to go out to his truck to get a case that he hadn't had the chance to re-stock. I thanked him for his efforts and he apologized again for not stocking it quickly enough.
He and his Son and their new young American cashier are the friendliest people of our local strip mall. As many times as I've told them to call me by my first name, other than the young American (great kid), the Hindu family always call me sir with a smile and sincerely asks how my day is going. The elder and I have bantered many times and I walk out thinking what an asset to our community.
Personally, I believe that east Indian Hindus are a benefit to our society, and now possibly our strongest military ally, since Britain is succumbing to Islamist PC and diminishing its military. They are the kind of immigrants we want here - not the Somali or other Muslim "gimmes".
To bad people can't tell the difference. But then, I know little about east Indian sikhs and their attitudes. Maybe someone can enlighten me.
As I've always said, I'm not a racist, but I am a culturalist.
