Muslim Dairy Queen owner slams Hindus

KEMAH, TX – The Hindu community is calling on a Muslim Dairy Queen franchise owner to take down signs from his Houston-area business that compare Hindus to monkeys.Mohammad Dar, a 65-year-old Muslim and US citizen from Pakistan, claims he is not prejudiced for installing the signs–instead saying Hindus are “racists”. Dar said that he decided to post the displays at his business after “researching” Hinduism–the third-largest religion in the world–for 14 years. He said the signs at his Kemah, Texas, Dairy Queen seek to showcase the wrongs of certain religions, specifically Hinduism.

One sign reportedly compared Hinduism to ‘monkeyism.’ “Hindus don’t follow any limit or law, they follow desires like an animal–that is the foundation of Hinduism,” says Dar.

“Monkeys don’t plan anything, they just do what they desire, but humans follow the limit and law.”

“It’s nothing personal, it’s educational,” he reportedly added. “I’m really making people mad, but what I’m doing is communicating and inviting them to communicate….they think I am attacking their religion, but I am not.”

 Dairy Queen’s corporate office called the instalment of the signs an “unfortunate action” and said they are “not representative of our iconic family brand.” “We do not condone this behavior,” company officials said.

Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, has called for International Dairy Queen Inc. to issue an apology on the matter.
