Mohammad Dar racially abuses Hindus in sign on drive through window.

A Pakistani American owner of a Dairy Queen restaurant, located southeast of Houston in the city of Kemah, Texas, Mohammad Dar, has posted signs outside his store comparing Hindus to monkeys.
“Hindus don’t follow any limit or law, they follow desires like an animal – that is the foundation of Hinduism,” Dar, 65, said in an interview with the San Antonio Express-News’ Madalyn Mendoza. “Monkeys don’t plan anything, they just do what they desire, but humans follow the limit and law.”
Officials with Dairy Queen responded to complaints about Dar’s restaurant calling this an “unfortunate action,” reported Breitbart. They said his actions, which they have condemned, are “not representative of our iconic family brand. We do not condone this behavior.”
Dar told Fox 26’s Natasha Geigel his sign which said “Obey preserve implement constitution of the U.S.A. ‘not’ monkey ism of dark ages,” was not mean to single out Hindus. He said he meant it for all organized religions.
Dar said he is not prejudiced for installing the signboards at his Dairy Queen Franchise in Kemah, Texas, while claiming that Hindus are the “racists”. There are multiple signboards, large and small, on display throughout the restaurant, on the front door, and at the ‘drive-thru’ window that specifically target Hinduism, Fox News reported.
Dar insists that his message is not simply speculation but “fact” and that alongside ice cream, he wants to “serve up some education to his customers”.
“These are the facts, anybody has a problem, I challenge them to prove me wrong. I do not practice racism but human equality,” he told Fox 26. He claimed that of his nearly 200 customers per day, only about one percent have been offended by the signs, which have been up for a few months.
Despite complaints from the Hindu community and for the Dairy Queen corporate office, Dar said he will not take down his signs.
Dairy Queen’s associate vice president of communications, Dean A. Peters, responded to an email from a “distinguished Hindu,” Rajan Zed, according to an article in the Punjab News Express, reported Breitbart.
The statement from Dairy Queen said, “A change of ownership is anticipated for this location sometime between now and the end of the month.” They pledged to work with all of the parties in the sale of the store to facilitate the closing of the sale as quickly as possible.
Zed said the response from the DQ corporate office was adequate. He said the corporate chain of restaurants did not formally apologize for allowing these derogatory signs to be posted at a franchisee location, reported Breitbart.
He said DQ should not be in the business of belittling religions. He said the signs and posters that Dar posted in and around his DQ trivialized what he described as the oldest and third largest religion in the world. About one billion people adhere to the religion of Hinduism.
“In addition to the complaints about the signs, this DQ’s Yelp listing reveals many complaints about the quality of the food and the cleanliness of the restaurant,” he said.
Kemah resident Troy K. wrote, “OK so for years I went here for my DQ fix but that is no more. It has gone down hill. Last time I was in there the floor was dirty with fries lying around and trash and food on the tables. Meanwhile the owner is just sitting there messing around on his lap top at a corner table. In general the place is in need of repair, cleaning, and repainting. I always feel like he is trying to short change me somehow(he is not going to remind you get a free treat with your kids meal). They usually don’t have any of the treats like dilly bars since the freezer seems to be broken. The staff leaves a lot to be desired also. Do yourself a favor and drive over the Kemah bridge (enjoy the view) and go to the Seabrook DQ as it is much cleaner and friendlier.”
The Sri Meenakshi Temple Society, a Hindu organization in Pearland, does not agree with Dar’s thinking. “Hindu philosophy allows one to respect other faiths and accommodate a broad perspective, rather than claiming monopoly of the Divine presence,” the society said.

The very fact that he works at a fast food restaurant he virtually has very little education, has probably never read Koran or any other philosophy or religious book and has no self respect. The scum of the society. His life is worth cleaning the toilets. he should stick to that.
Most South Asians I know, including Sikhs, Hindus, and Muslims, get along GREAT. Please do not allow this one man to poison relations in the West. DO NOT.
I’m a proud Pakistani-American Muslim.
Based on what I read in this article, I’m ashamed and disgusted by the abhorrent attitude of Mr. Dar.
Mr. Dar does not represent the Muslim community and his bigoted action will not be condoned by Muslims by and large.
No one has the right to offend and belittle any faith or religion. Humanity comes before the religion!
I’ve very good Hindu friends and we live in a very harmonious environment. My apologies at this unfortunate incidence. Peace!
