There was just a Christian fundi, in a Kansas town that is surviving & rich due to talented immigrants, who shot at two Indian engineers who were dining in a restaurant.
At least one person died. I read the story in a recent Bloomberg Business issue, I can try to dig it out of my mess here in my room if anyone wants details.
The guy was caught in another town bragging about killing "Iranians" then he was reported. The article says that Indian immigrants are very often killed, not because of Christian hatred of Hindus, but because they are mistaken for middle eastern folks, which the article pointed out as a terrifying concern Indians have.
Indian Americans aren't a well defined target, and the Christian opinion of them is a murkier issue than the clearly hateful attitude towards Muslims.
The community of the Kansas town expressed remorse, the police chief attributed the murders to the "fallen world ", but I sense a larger problem that isn't getting addressed.
Why are western nations constantly attacking Muslim nations?
What about the endless murdering of the non Christian immigrants?
Back in Nebraska, I had several Arab Americans tell me about the verbal attacks that they got in stores after the attacks in late 2015. Most were devout Christians (both the white people attacking them, and the actual Arab Americans being attacked ). My one workmate tells people he is "black and Mexican ", as most Arab Americans say to protect themselves. If they can't hide it, then they will advertise the fact that they are Christian. Often it is the first thing that they say when a conversation starts.
Sad.
Muslims aren't safe in fundamentalist Christian American.
They are a target for sure.
But don't dare call it terrorism.
