(CNSNews.com) – U.S. Attorney Eric Holder, speaking at the Sikh Temple shooting memorial service in Oak Creek, Wis., on Friday, called the tragedy “an act of terrorism, an act of hatred,” and “a hate crime that is anathema to the founding principles of our nation and to who we are as an American people.”

The gunman, identified as Wade Michael Page, shot nine people at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin – killing six and injuring three others. Page, a suspected white Supremacist, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police.

“For our nation’s law enforcement community, our resolve to prevent acts of terrorism and to combat crimes motivated by hatred has never been stronger, and that is precisely what happened here – an act of terrorism, an act of hatred, a hate crime that is anathema to the founding principles of our nation and to who we are as an American people,” he said.

Many Sikhs will tell you that Sikhs are not Indians, but are subjugated by India.

One has to wonder what his reaction would have been if it had been an all white Southern Baptist Church in rural Mississippi??????

He and Obama would both be cheering. They'd be in support of the shooter, although they would never want to say so publicly.

And Major Hasan’s act WASN’T?

But we must understand - six people were killed by a white guy at the Sikh Temple!

It's not as if it were something minor, like 13 people killed by a crazed muslim militant yelling "Allahu Akbar!" in a simple case of workplace violence.

Probably not, but he can ask BO, who knows exactly what it means.
