HumanRightsWatchIndia sent me You tube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb51CuZ93pY
asking "Plz check the video and comment on it..."
terming the scene in the clip representing "ISLAMOPHOBIA IN THE FILM 3

Would you say the organization HumanRightsWatchIndia is correct,

Ignorant of your parsitic ways? Not at all, not only have I picked them
from a mile away, but so have plenty of Indians commented on them as
well. And I mean Indians, you know, people that live in India, not
parisitic life-forms like you that refuse to live in India because you
love living in the West yet fraudulantly claim to be Indian, when you'd
know less about India these days than most tourists. You're pathetic really.

Don't be so sure about Christian missionaries having fled from
Haiti. They may still be there among the looters.

Hello bundree, kya baat, kaisi hoe? No I am not planning a basughat.
If you bundurrs and bundrees screech loudly that the West should give
me some Nobel Prizes (anyone can get for peace and economics, but I
want Literature and Physics) then yes your gandighat may be spared.

Cheers, bundree. Up your tail, swing in joy, go eat a banana.
