Nothing but if you read properly, they were clarifying earlier reports about the confusion of his religious identity.

Who cares about his mother and grand mother religious background? We all know that the incident was based on hate crime by a supposedly radical Muslim. They may have used the Hindu thingy to shade the fella of his religion. It was a tense moment for Muslims at the time. His bravery is what counts.

Proud of our Guyanese hospitality.  My sis went to give blood to these strangers in a time of need.

Correct.  But he certainly steering as far as he could from being taken for a Muslim.  Don't be surprised if he do a name change.  That would be a smart move!

It is not easy being seen as a Muslim nowadays. Given that the brother is not a Muslim, it would be unwise for him to carry that cross.

It must be tough, I agree.  There are many good, decent and tolerant Muslims who don't deserve the label!  I have a devout Muslim friend in Pa who runs a Pharmacy whose dream is to tour India with his wife.  He and his family remind me of the Muslims I grew up with in Guyana back in the day before we knew what a Shia and Sunni was.  He does not like Pak and other radical Muslim cultures.  I almost asked him of his name is Ksazma!

That is funny.

Seriously, if Muslims don't start acting fast to rid the world of these radicals, they will risk becoming extinct. These radicals are as much an enemy to regular Muslims as they are to non-Muslims. The sooner we accept that the better it would be for regular Muslims. But we can still stand up against bigotry whenever it occurs.

So he has an Arab name. It does not make him a muslim. There are many Arab Christians and Arab Jews who have Arab names but are not muslim.

The shooter was a Muslim. The Ex Marine is a Hindu. Names don't make people.
