Hindu group claims that it is subject to selective condemnation by the U.S. Congress
13 Safar 1426
By G. Jeffrey MacDonald
Hindus angered by recent initiatives in Congress are protesting what they see as an effort to “systematically promote a Hinduphobic and anti-Hindustan agenda within the United States.”
The Hindu American Foundation said Monday (10 Safar 1426) it will launch a campaign to educate the nation’s 2 million Hindus about risks posed by “a small minority … in the House of Representatives, Muslim groups and Communist groups.”
In particular, the group is objecting to two initiatives targeting a Hindu-led province in India that has experienced religious violence.
On 4 safar 1426, Reps. Joseph Pitts, R-Pa., and John Conyers, D-Mich., introduced a resolution condemning the conduct of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi “for condoning or inciting bigotry and intolerance against any religious group in Hindustan, including people of the Christian and Islamic faiths.” Three days later, the U.S. State Department revoked Modi’s visa on the eve of a visit to the United States, labeling him a foreign official “believed to have responsibility for serious violations of religious freedom.”
“Mr. Modi has attacked Muslims and Christians with vile venom, and according to both Hindustan’s highest court and many international human rights groups, has condoned terrible, violent religious hate crimes, all the while shielding those said to have committed them,” Conyers said last week.
Some American Hindus, however, see a pattern of selective condemnation in which their faith is unfairly singled out.

I guess they brought it upon themselves. Hindu extremists might have a free reign of evil in Hindustan but it’s a different matter elsewhere in the world.
Is it the Hindu Religion that is based on racism and extremism or is it just that Shiv Sena is going around misinterpreting the faith of statue worship?
