So the person above you is Hindu and now he must be a liar I guess because your friends who aren't Hindu told you so? I'm holding back my words here to be a nice person but maybe try adding some facts to back up what your saying?
Broad terms like every Hindu does x doesn't work very well.

its also a kabbalah thing.
Kabbalah (Hebrew: קַבָּלָה, lit. "receiving") is a discipline and school of thought discussing the mystical aspect of Judaism. It is a set of esoteric teachings meant to define the inner meaning of both the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) and traditional Rabbinic literature, as well as to explain the significance of Jewish religious observances.[1]
Hindu use it like you said but its not just them and it doesn't look like all Hindu or all would wear them all the time.
Kalava (Sanskrit: कलावा) is the sacred Hindu thread. It is worn while performing Hindu rituals like Yajna or Puja. It is tied by a priest on the wrists of all the people attending the prayer ceremony. Kalava is tied on right hand of males and unmarried females, and on left hand of married females. Sometimes it has small yellow parts in between the mostly red string. It sometimes has knots which are tied up while reciting Sanskrit mantras to invoke God and is worn to ward off evil from the person who wears this red thread.

Why do you bother reading or posting on here if you are not going to deny ignorance but instead embrace it?
I just showed you facts posted about how other groups wear a red string on their wrist also and you call me a liar?
Why would I lie? Why would the web pages I posted that have nothing to do with the terror attacks lie? I even gave you a link to show that you were not 100% wrong you just were also not 100% correct?
You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. I bid you good day sir!

I pity your ignorance.. its true hindus wear red string on their hand and it also doesnt mean that who doesnt wear are not a hindu too. I am a Hindu and I dont wear any strings. I guess you just blindly assumed that who are not wearing the red string are not Hindu.

Plus I posted pics of Rakhis for your enjoyment for you to see if you see any resemblance to what the terroists wore

My point is anyone can wear string like that to look like a hindu or to blend in with the local population and the string doesnt prove anything at all to conclude.

Rubbish!
I've seen Hindus wear elastic bands to bangles of all different shapes, sizes, colour.
Look perhaps you can fool people who have never met a Hindu chap before but I've met lots and I have always noticed this practise.
That being said, I HAVE NEVER SEEN A HINDU WEAR A BAND LIKE THE PICS YOU POSTED!
Strange huh!?
