NEW DELHI -- India reacted with grief and outrage at the news that at least six Sikhs were killed when a gunman attacked them Sunday in their Wisconsin temple as they prayed and prepared food. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, himself a Sikh, said in a statement Monday that he was shocked and saddened by the news and extended his condolences to the families of the victims.

When Indians do secretarian violence, they do it well, casualty counts into the thousands barely make news. But it seems these people know their American politics of victimization and demonization well.
They had me till this. Tearing up our flag? Stay in your own country bub.
Idiots. These people are going to give Sikhs a bad name in the US...
PSikhs for Justice, which describes itself as a U.S.-based human rights advocacy group, said in a statement that it was donating $10,000 to the badly wounded Wisconsin police officer who risked his life in the attack and likely saved many other Sikhs. The officer was taken to a Milwaukee hospital and is expected to survive.
But the group also said the U.S. needed to do a better job protecting Sikhs and members of other religious minorities.”
Hmmmmmm...these two sentences read a little funny, following each other, no? Are they suggesting a cop in every church, synagogue, mosque? Or are they just stupid? Stick a handgun under one of those turbans boys, you’ll be able to defend yourselves. Or do you have a “let’s all be sheep in the pen for the wolves” no handgun policy?
These people aren't acting like Sikhs.
At least when Indians do “sectarian violence” they recognize their real enemy, not kill random people with beard and turban.
If they have family and relatives getting killed, I doubt they are going to worry about “bad name”.
junta is right. These Sikhs are learning American politics of Victimhood Culture. If foreigners are going to hate America they should hate it for the right reasons. The American left. Come here and liberals will destroy every vestige of good your culture has if you let them.
I dont think there is any reason to hate America, but Sikhs have valid cause to be outraged at least in this case regardless of what sectarian violence happens in India. And junta is wrong.
“junta is right. These Sikhs are learning American politics of Victimhood Culture. If foreigners are going to hate America they should hate it for the right reasons. The American left. Come here and liberals will destroy every vestige of good your culture has if you let them. “
If an American in India was killed by Sikhs, I’m sure you’d be singing a different tune.
An absurd analogy. The Sikhs here were killed by a madman not someone of a major religion or cultural sect of America.
...I’m sure you’d be singing a different tune.
Even if you fixed your analogy to make sense my answer would be "no, I wouldn't." These people who are protesting are idiots who have drunk the Kook-Aid of the American left.
junta nailed it to the wall with a dead-bang bullseye!
Maybe not. But its the Sikhs in India who are protesting the killing of Sikhs in US. Sectarian violence in India does not make killing of Sikhs in US alright.

“If foreigners are going to hate America they should hate it for the right reasons. The American left.”
As much as I dislike the left wingers. To be fair, this killer was an extremist right winger.
