Drudge Title: India Blames White House For Shooting

Top State Department officials including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been working behind the scenes to assuage Indian anger following the attack on a Sikh temple in Wisconsin over the weekend by an Army veteran and alleged former white supremacist.

Indian government officials and Sikh leaders across India were outraged by the attack that left 6 dead, including 4 Indian nationals, at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee and called on the U.S. to do more to protect Sikhs living in the United Sates. Clinton called Indian Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna from her stop in South Africa Monday after Krishna criticized the U.S. for failed policies and a growing trend of violent incidents against religious minorities...

What makes you so paranoid. Here I live in one of the allegedly most violent cities in the world, Chicago, and feel little or no danger no matter where I go.

Sikhs are not enemies to Christianity. They are peaceful and consider women to be equals.

Of course mozlums hate them.

Cable our State Dept. should send.....

Gee Mr. Foreign Minister.....I know we don’t go beserk over here and blow up mosques killings hundreds or forcibly relocate Muslims killing millions in the process like you guys did and still do...but did ya ever think if these poor victims weren’t fleeing your hellhole garbage dump of a country they wouldn’t have been here to be shot.

Fix your own problems Krishna. Cork it.


Now with Calderon in Mexico flapping his gums on US guns, the UN Treaty bubbling in the back ground to be revisited as soon as Commander Zero has “flexibility” after the election, and now this.

Disarming Americans becomes an “international issue”. How convenient.

Hopefully she told him that US internal affairs are none of the Indian foreign minister's business.

“Could be India hasn’t forgotten Marxists(socialists,fascists, and nazis) murdered about 200 to 300 million people last century and not only that but made multiplied BILLIONS miserable..”

From the India.Gov website:

India is a “Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic” with a parliamentary system of government.

[ That country is barely out of the grasp of socialists in any case. ]

Who isn’t.?... Most all this planet is in the hands of socialists or other totalitarian schemes.. No I take that back.. ALL this planet has maleficent givernments..

Democracy is the political disease that breeds socialism, fascism and other forms of Marxism.. Mob Rule by mobsters..
No givernment on this planet is NOT CONTROLLED by a Mob..

In The United States the filthy word of “democracy” has become a Holy Word.. when its filthy..
School children everywhere are fed this word like Pavlov’s dogs..
And they salivate for socialism.. and givernment slavery...

In a hyperbolic situation ONLY hyperbole can describe it..
Anything less is disinformation.. or agitprop..

The best way to help the Sikhs would be to start an advertising campaign (government supported or not) which makes it clear that Sikhs are not Muslims! In fact, several revered Sikh leaders have been martyred by Muslims.

Little wonder they don’t have more problems than they do..
Democracy breeds socialism.. it’s inherent..
Indias givernment is MOB Rule by mobsters.. like those in URP..

Oh please, India’s as “upset” over this as the guy next door. It’s only political pandering which Hilary and Obama know how to do. Americans get killed overseas all the time and when do you ever hear any sense of “outrage” from this bunch?

You don’t

The Sikhs are definitely not Muslims and have a long history of being persecuted by and fighting against the Muslims. From everything I have heard about them, their religious tenets stress preparedness and readiness to protect their families and community. I would think that they, more than most groups, would be pro second amendment and would learn to use and carry firearms.

I can’t see how anyone could be so stupid and uninformed to attack the Sikh community. If anyone, we want these people to be our friends and allies.

I don’t know about your education standard but really it must be some madarassa sort of school.
1st of all- Ethnic classes against is not against Americans but Indian christians ,so not a matter of concern for you.
2nd - Those clashes were due to christian missinories who usually try to lure poor and desprate people to convert by presenting Hinduism as evil ,etc etc.
Try to get your facts right.

Maybe that’s because your name is “arrogant sob”

What the Hell does India have to do with this? Were the murdered not US citizens?

Nothing against India, but are any of the countries in Asia apologizing to Rome for the rampant murder of Christians?

Is the current DC regime showing any concern for the persecution and cleansing of Christians?

NO!
