americans are doers. hinduism is navel-gazing. Americans might be attracted to islam cause it gives them something to do, even if it is blowing up buildings. old hindus are scary looking. they all have really worn out faces and wicked dark circles under their eyes. No American wants to look like that. Finally, while I know hindus can get agitated and violent, they generally are associated with ghandi and pacifism and nonviolence. Again, that’s just not the American DNA.
