I'm not trying to get into this discussion, but just want to point out the wrongness of Gariell's bizzarre claim that Indians are somehow "destroying Silicon Valley" - let's look at their contributions: about 7% of Silicon Valley CEOs are Indian, including titans like Vinod Khosla http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinod_Khosla Suhas Patil http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suhas_Patil and others who have directly contributed to the infrastructure that you use every time you go online.
Let's see, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indian_Americans - three Nobel prize winners and a throng of top academics and successful entrepreneurs.
Produce a comparable list for Muslim Americans and I might take the argument more seriously.
Caligula again, you don't seem to be aware much about the Indians and the Indian mentality. They have shown time and time again that they can't run societies properly, for them it's all about themselves & themselves only. They have no concept of a real civilized society, for Indians it's only about surviving & having more then the next person, thats it, the Indians of today are not capable of higher civilized thought like the Romans or have enough of it to create things like the Industrial revolution, the Protestant revolution, the information age, space technology, genetics etc unless it involves street money and personal power gratification. None of the richest Indians in America have set up charities, funds, or organizations to help lower to Middle class Americans in any shape or form. India is so great, that every year 1 million of that want to get out of that country. They haven't produced any top-caliber athletes or invented any major thing in almost 1000 years, there hasn't been a recent Indian Nobel prize winner (from India) in more then decades. Here is a list of companies that Indians have ruined and destroyed:
Adaptec - Indian CEO Subramanian Sundaresh fired.

AirBus (Qantas plane plunged 650 feet injuring passengers when its computer system written by India disengaged the auto-pilot).
Apple - R&D CLOSED in India in 2006.
Apple - Foreign guest worker caused the disastrous MobileMe product rollout.

Bristol-Myers-Squibb (Trade Secrets and documents stolen in U.S. by Indian national guest worker)
Caymas - Startup run by Indian CEO, French director of dev, Chinese tech lead. Closed after 5 years of sucking VC out of America.
ComAir crew system run by 100% Indian IT workers caused the 12/25/05 U.S. airport shutdown when they used a short int instead of a long int
Dell - call center (closed in India because Premji's conmen don't even know how to use telephones, let alone computers)

World Bank (Indian fraudsters BANNED for 3 years because they stole data).
If you look at the massive immigration by Indians to Malaysia, and parts of south East Asia, the places later turn out to be badly run shitholes, like India. The exact same thing is happening in places such as Australia & the U.K which experienced large scale Indian immigration, money is stolen and companies are torn and destroyed to the ground and the money of said company is stolen by said Indians. The current H1b program in the U.S is being abused by Indians. How exactly is the H1b program being abused? Well it goes like these, Indian enters X company, Indian person enters said X head position, Indian fires off all American workers and instead replaces them with cheap H1b workers from India who work for cheap prices and cannot produce any single goddman thing. Indian person FORCES American workers to TRAIN the H1b workers and then FIRES them. Said company is taken over by large numbers of H1b workers. Company finances and income is taken away by massive number of Indians and the Indian head. Company crashes, Indian files for bankrupty or some shit, and they run off with the funds of the company. This has been going for the last 2 decades with Indians, wherever they go they steal and massively fraud companies/places and turn them into poorly run shitholes, so they can command large dowry's which are their only hope of getting laid. They can't fight wars for the life of them and the idiotic culture can't produce a single thing worth mentioning unless it was 1000 years ago. Silicon Valley was mostly built by white American males, whom were for the most part misfits, geeks, strange ones etc. For the last two decade, corporate America has been, in the name of global labor arbitrage, shoving in cheap foreign labor just to increase the net worth of their own bank accounts. Why do you think India's neighbors and the various Middle Eastern countries look down on these people? Because they have a bad reputation. There are large parts of India that are worse off then the states of sub-saharan Africa, and they can't seem to build something or fix their poverty problems, run international sporting or race track events if their life depended on it. The Indian nobel prize winners that are mentioned are the exception not the norm, there are 10,000x backwards idiotic Indians for every any Indian worth mentioning; plus they are from the upper castes & Americanized, which makes a huge difference.
There is no such thing as "Muslim Americans" define that, if you mean by Iranian Americans, and other Middle immigrants from places like Lebanon, Syria then yes I can name you some of them. From what I've seen they have a much more better track record, production value, and less assimilation problems in the U.S & the West compared to Indians or anyone from the sub-continent. Iranians have the highest academic credentials out there of any group although that may change. They have had none of the problems or stigma's that are routinely associated with Indians, if they do, it's nothing compared to the backwardness of Indians.
