How true, my heart really and truly goes out to Indian people... they've had to unwillingly put up with all forms of discrimination due to the public confusing them as Muslims. The majority of Indians are very educated, and their culture is very accepting and warm. The only one exception is the Sikhs maybe, because they have a history as being warriors... but they are also nice people and in no way extremists in any way. It's too bad that Indians have to put up with it... BTW... I don't consider Pakistanis as being "Indians".... there's a fine difference there for sure. I hope that Pakistan will one day change into a country similar to Turkey; Turkey is predominantly Muslim but they are very accepting of other cultures and have excellent relations with other countries including the US and Israel. As for Canada, I hope it will survive as a great example of what peace can be like with a mixture of all types of cultures and religions. It amazes me how people from different countries come to Canada and become good friends and neighbors. All in search of the same Canadian dream I guess. Truly remarkable. On the most part, Canada truly is the UN personafied.
