Hindu-American emerges as Trump mega-donor

[waz]

What is surprising here is that the guy who gave this racist bigot a positive rating is a PDF Think tank

@waz @Oscar you should look at the quality of people you have on your think tank.

I got rid of the post and rating. It was in very bad taste.

A lot of Indians are Islamophobes and bigots. Bharatis like this guy are islamophobe and bigot. Makes sense that a bharati is mega donor of Trump.

Let me tell you a fact of life.
nothing works in vacuum.

If you believe what you said is true then the counter narrative must be true as well. So, what does that make you?

As a US citizen, this "Hindu American" is well with in his rights to support who ever he wants. This is how a democracy works.
In fact this is how politics work and this is how elections are won, by taking together the bigger chunk of people with you compared to your opponent.
No one is asking Democrats to build a counter narrative to Trump. They won't do it because their voters are people who are interested in a whole different set of things and Clinton will pander to them.

I never said this Indian has no right to fund Trump. He has all the right to fund trump or anyone else. After all it is his money.

I am just explaining the psyche behind a bharati funding such kind of guy.

After making quite a number of anti-India remarks, I don't know why a few Indians are hellbent on supporting him


How about you get that stick out of your backside, and stop assuming things about other people?
1) Religion is one of his platforms, rather blocking a certain religious group from entering the US. 2) I'm not India, so your point is dumb.

I'm addressing the points made in the article, nothing more. If you want an in depth analysis, ask me, and I'll think about giving it.

As for talking about religion, Trump's main platform is blocking Muslims from entering the US, so religion can't be avoided. Try to be a little humble, when you post such drivel.

Do not generalize Indian support as a blanket support to some one in particular..There are many factors that influence a business man when he committed himself to any specific party..

Sir, why would make it him a bigot for supporting a party he believes will be good for Hindus?!

Would you say the same about muslims who donate money to mosques?

This Hindu guy may be worried about his children and Grand children not being safe in USA and thinks Trump is the man that can solve this.

Trump is a class A moron but then the other side is not great either. Like I said Politics never work in Vacuum. So for Democrats who weave a narrative of everything ok after every terrorist attack, Trump is weaving a narrative of terrorists taking over USA.

If supporters of Trump are religious bigots, then shouldn't the counter narrative be that supporters of Clinton are terrorists?

And how a racist like trump would be good for Hindus?

Show some news article or web link where he said something good about hinduism. Thank You.

Let's assume the support is exactly for the reason you say (and not say business/economic or a mix of other issues)...i.e lets assume Trump presents only an islamophobe/bigot stand (which he doesn't but lets ignore that).

Is it wrong for a non-islamic person to be an "islamophobe" and "bigot" given the nature of what sharia calls for?

What do Americans think on the matter, where Trump is contesting:

That's pretty bad logic. Tell me where he has said something bad about Hinduism? Has he called for Hindus to be not allowed to enter the US till they sort the security screening out like he did with Muslims?

Wrong or not. America is a non muslim country and would remain it in that way. This sharia thing is a bogey to fool peopl into voting a racist red neck whose whole election campaign is based on hatred and bigotry.

If someone thinks that 2% muslims are going to implement sharia then such a guy needs to get his head checked.

I don't care about Trump. I have already stated that he is a Grade A moron.

What I am saying is that in Politics there is no vacuum. For people who feel threatened by terrorism in USA, Clinton offers a bleak choice as candidate. So by laws of "no political vacuum", all these people will go towards the only person left in the field, which is Trump.

That's not a question of logic. Your compatriot said Trump is good for Hindus. I asked him to give proof for it. Apparently you don't have a proof. Only thing that fills the gap here is islamophobia that trump and a lot of Indian share.

Fair enough. The terrorism is another bogey often used by Islamophobes. So that comes to my conclusion in the first post. This guy is supporting Trump because he shares the same ideology about Islam and Muslims that trump peddles in his presidential campaign.

Indians are going to be the 1st people to experience the rise in racism from donald trump. We are what Americans think when they think of "islamic terrorists".

huh? how did you get that? do you mean their confusion about turbanned Sikhs?

 

[Nilgiri]

Wrong or not. America is a non muslim country and would remain it in that way. This sharia thing is a bogey to fool peopl into voting a racist red neck whose whole election campaign is based on hatred and bigotry.

Its not a question of ability to implement, its a question of desiring to implement....since that brings a whole baggage line of related issues, potentially security related.

Why is Trump wrong for targetting this fear (shown by the poll to be 70 - 80% in the US public)?

This is just the start of bigger things to come in the western world.

Sharia is incompatible with cultures external to it and people outside of Islam justifiably perceive people who positively identify with Sharia to not have the cultural prerequisites to be safe, integrated citizens.

So why is it a bad thing to screen and halt such immigration till such screening is employed in accordance to the majority of the people in the US....as Trump is suggesting? It only helps the genuinely more moderate, pragmatic and integrate-able Muslims in the long run.

Lol... i like this! I find it so ironic that an Indian would sponsor Trump.

Trump may or may not be a racist. That is not the point. Rather it is the atmosphere a Trump personality creates. It is an atmosphere of fear and hate. Actually it is the same atmosphere hateful extremist Mullahs create. They instill a sense of hate and fear in their flock and the quansequence is the "honour" killings, sectarianism, oppression of the other.

The humorous thing is (to me at least) that most of victims of the fear culture Trump generates are Indians. The public perceives their skin colour, their Sikh turbans, curry, their names, their accent, music, culture and even the Indian dress (sari) as middle eastern and hence "moslem". This is even more true of the most hateful... primarily the less educated violence prone Americans.

I or anyone of my extended family have never never faced any islamaphobia or racism because we look more italian than south Asian. This is the case for a lot of muslims... especially arabs etc. On the other hand, I have known that many of my Indian friends who have been victims of this culture of hate and fear.

Well Mr. Hindu Trump supporters... you may be digging your own grave. Good luck with that!

That's like a Jew giving a donation to a neo-nazi group, and saying that his donation doesn't make the neo-nazis racist.

Trump isnt has a racist or fascist as you think. Guy does businesss around the world, with a diverse work force. But many of his supporters are.
