Gill was not a 'people person'

I hadn't heard he was of Sikh origin, either. Is that being widely reported in Canada? I'm wondering whether its not getting much press in the US is because the fact isn't noteworthy, or because the MSM is being PC. Again.

Very few facts are being widely reported.

As few facts as they think they can get away with, probably.

No angle there at all. Sikhs are a bit irrelevant to the whole terrorism thing.

And what does the fact that he's a Sikh have to do with anything?

I hadn't heard he was of Sikh origin, either.

I read it in one Toronto paper, the Red Star, I believe.

However, aside from an older relative, his family weren't practicing Sikhs, i.e. no beards or turbans.

Given that Gill wrote on his website that he hated God, religion and religious people, it's pretty hard to call him a Sikh, let alone a member of any religion - except maybe Satanism (something that was also on his website, according to a MySpace-style test he took). That Gill was born into Sikhism is hardly relevant, since he pretty much renounced it.
