      Worse still, Hasan isn’t Arab at all. He was born in the UK to Indian parents.

      I think that’s quite a stretch. Girdusky’s comment is clearly a response specifically to Hasan’s expression of support for Palestinians. What’s the connection between “all supporters of Palestinians are terrorists” and being an Arab?
