OK, so now that we see exactly what the FAQ says, can you succinctly
state what you believe to be wrong with the answer? Note that the FAQ
does not say the multitude of things people have been claiming it says
on this issue. So, rather than fabricate allegations about the FAQ and
ask people to counter them, let's concentrate specifically on what the
FAQ does say.
Note that even a recent article posted on SRH made the claim that all
Indians were Hindus. This article was being circulated by the BJP. So,
before anyone attempts to blast the FAQ on this point, you'd be wise
to come up with the definition of Hindu to be used in the argument.
