Not really. By that line of reasoning, all "right wing Muslims" would need to blamed -- the ones who explicitly or implicitly support terrorism -- not all Muslims. Not that I am supporting the concept of group blame, but this particular argument sounds like a strawman to me. Both right wing Hindus and Muslims are being blamed here. I don't really see a case for religion-based discrimination. Venky.
