Mohammed Dar Insults Hindus Calling Hindus Monkeys and Puts Up anti-Hindu Signs In And Around His Restaurant
Mohammed Dar, a Pakistani immigrant and a Dairy Queen owner in Kemeh, Texas, since September 2017, regularly put-up anti-Hindu signs in and around the restaurant. Some of the messages, displayed on tall panels, mention Hinduism specifically and accuse it of being based on racism. Dar taped more messages near the register, on the drive-through window and placed a large sign outside of the restaurant, in the parking lot.
One sign read ‘Obey preserve implement Constitution of the USA NOT monkey ism (sic) of Dark Ages.’ He has also said about Hindus that ‘They may look like humans, but they act like monkeys.’ The signs inside the shop also display several emblems such as a Confederate flag, a Star of David and a Christian cross. They picture several world leaders, including Kim Jong-Un, the Dalai Lama, the Pope and Queen Elizabeth II.
Dar said further ‘Racism is the foundation of Hinduism. That is the fact. Anybody has a problem, I challenge them to prove me wrong.’ ‘This is not offensive. It’s educational,’ he added.
