So. . .are there no muslims with a "hindu" name?

Are there no non-muslims with a muslim names?


Interesting thing is, the article does not mention the religion of the victim, and that is telling.

When the victim is non-muslim and an apparent victim of an anti-muslim attack, the media ALWAYS makes this point very clear. They did not do so this time. Interesting.

I'll hold judgment on this one.

Muslims keep their names from the Koran, Hindus dont.
Hindus have (mostly)Sanskrit names. The Muslims never keep a Sanskrit name. For a Muslim, to keep a Hindu name instead of a Koranic name is akin to sacrilege.

In India most of the times you can easily figure out the religion or the eihnic community a person belongs to, just from the name. Most surnames in India are typical of a certain geographic region within India. And in case of Muslims, there names are almost always ......Arabic or Persian (both name and surname). And in India, only the Muslims keep Arabic names. You can always tell a Muslim from the name.

So you can be 100% certain "Yashen Maharaj" isnt a Muslim.
