Land of opportunity.

Love it! Indian Americans came out strongly for Trump.

Wikipedia says he was born in Detroit. It does not say that he's a Hindu.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Are you implying that he’s a Muslim?

[AZLiberty]

If Raj Shah isn’t a Freeper, he’s not doing his job.

I am simply stating that his religion is not listed in his biography. When I googled Gujarat, it shows that about 10% of the population are. And, they do settle in Michigan.

Really doubt it. He is one of us and balls to the wall.

Heh... GMTA MAGA.

Thanks for researching. I guess I’m not the only one who made that mistake. The Trump appointee Raj was probably thoroughly vetted.

Many media sources are confusing the two Raj Shahs, including misidentifying photos.

Shah is a Persiam name shared by Muslims, Christians and Hindus. Rajiv is an ancient Sanskrit Indian name, usually Hindu.

It looks like the same man.

No, it’s not:

Can’t tell. But in that link, if you look at his twitter posts, he does retweet the GOP message on Christmas.
Not proof he is Christian, but hopeful.

Wikipedia says he was born in Detroit. It does not say that he's a Hindu.

Raj is a Hindu given name.

No, the one at the prayer breakfast with Mr. Obama is a physician, the other is not. Just similar sounding names.

I would prefer closer relations with India, over China.
The Red Chinese have controlled the Clinton’s for too many decades.

Time to shake things up

Media outlets are misidentifying photos of the thinner, older Raj Shah, Democrat from USAID and Rockefeller Foundation, with the younger round-faced Republican Raj Shah.
