This article should really be expanded to something like "Hinduism in the Middle East".

[edit] Disputed
The numbers don't add up at the very least. For example, it says there are 4,000 Hindus in Kuwait, or 2% of the population. The population of Kuwait is more than 2 million. Also a US government report that I read recently claims that there are about 100,000 Hindus, a more credible figure, given that there are about 300,000 Indian citizens in Kuwait. The numbers for Oman seem unreasonably large.

- I've dumped the figures from Hinduism by country here instead, but those numbers are also problematic. It's no more than a stopgap measure. I'm also moving this from Hindus in Middle East Countries to Hinduism in Arab states. QuartierLatin1968 03:30, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Misleading
Including Iran and Afghanistan in a list of Hinduism in the Middle East is fair enough (as this article does), but this article is about "Arab states", which neither of those countries are. I'll be WP:BOLD and remove them. BigHaz 05:20, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] UAE
I heard there's a lot in the UAE.--D-Boy 19:24, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
