Honestly, I agree that a very extreme parent might force their child to do this, granted, he said it in not so choice terms, but bigoted, no.

Nope, I'm still calling this one what it was, a bigoted statement that ridicules a group of people's religious beliefs.
The same posters I quoted above wouldn't be as forgiving if I'd posted a comment like, "This device might be very useful for protecting men in San Francisco from the loony gays there." Notice that I qualified my remark with "loony," and I didn't use a modifier.
Until you can show significant references to Hindus or Islamists as the "religious right," I will give your explanation the consideration it deserves: None.
Thanks for the post. It, and the responses were quite revealing.
