T O P I C R E V I E WFaithOne of the defining characteristics of the modern American political climate is radical bigotry against Muslims...and Sikhs, who are mistaken for Muslims. quote:Since 9/11, Sikh groups in the United States have reported a rise in bias attacks. There have been more than 700 reports of hate-related incidents against Sikhs since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, according to the Associated Press. "Sikhs don't practice the same religion as Muslims," the AP noted, "but their long beards and turbans often cause them to be mistaken for Muslims, advocates say." http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/sikh-temple-shooting-175002467.html I find it odd that details about the shooter(s) haven't been released yet. At least one congregant is saying there were actually four shooters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRBuhXeXels&feature=youtu.be DelilahWell, it's the same as this arrogant attitude that because we're American nothing else matters. We don't need to know anything about other cultures. We should be proud of our ignorance and hatred. So much hatred and for what? Because Mukesh or Muhammad aren't white and don't call the invisible man by the same name?------------------"We're stumbling around in a very dark age basically trying not to kill each other."- PowderjuniperbAn extremely sad for America I understand they are looking for other white supremacists who knew about the pending attack.------------------As Angels above guide Human beings, Human Beings have the opportunity to be Angels on Earth, who guide the Animal kingdom. - Da VinciAmi AnneVery sad.Sikhs are very peaceful people.
