We'll ignore your pathetic attempt at baiting me, and note that

where his parents were medical students from India studying at the University of Michigan

Since at that time the McCarran-Walter Act was in force, these people were very new to the country: prior to 1952 their residency would have been temporary in virtually all cases. Admission as lawful permanent residents would have been mostly out of of the question.

So they are almost certainly Hindu, not Muslim, but I don't know; to me it makes not much difference.

They have virtually no history in the United States, their Caste culture is utterly alien to the egalitarianism developed over 1000 years of Anglo-European history, and their investment in the country is negligible, so I have no idea why anyone would waste time listening to them explain the country through the prism of their own prejudices as self identified victims.

His parents both later became US citizens.

I am perfectly willing to believe he is not a good American, but you really ought to present evidence.

While I agree with you, one could, perhaps convert from Hindoism to Islam unless his parents disowned him for it.

It's one thing to say that he's wrong (he is - terribly so). It's an entirely separate thing to say that he shouldn't be listened to because he's Hindu. Reject his arguments on their merits, not on his identity or ethnic/religious background.
