Muslim Dairy Queen owner in Texas installed signs around his business comparing Hindus to monkeys
A Texas Dairy Queen franchise owner who has signs comparing Hindus to monkeys wrapping around his Houston-area restaurant says he is not prejudiced despite calls for an apology from the Hindu community and condemnation from Dairy Queen's corporate office.
Instead, Mohammad Dar, a 65-year-old Muslim, says Hindus are the "racists." There are more than approximately 1 billion people who identify as Hindu, making it the third-largest religion in the world, according to a survey published by Adherents.com.
About a year ago, Dar decided to publicize his self-taught findings — which he says he's been "researching" for 14 years — in a series of displays at his business in order to point out the wrongs of certain religions, specifically Hinduism, he told mySA.com in a phone interview on Wednesday.
The Dairy Queen is located at 1107 Highway 146 Dairy Queen in Kemah, about 25 miles north of Galveston. Company officials called the placement of the signs in a statement to mySA.com Thursday an "unfortunate action" and said they are "not representative of our iconic family brand. We do not condone this behavior."
