“He says it doesn’t matter whether a Muslim or Sikh is being targeted by backlash.”
Well, technically he is correct, because this “backlash” is imaginary, and imaginary things don’t matter.

No real Sikh would join up with the Muslims. They hate them.

They have 1200 years of experience with the ROP.

Sikhism is a fairly honorable religion.

Actually NO Muslims were harmed after 9/11.
One Sikh in Texas however was killed when some idiot
mistook him for a Muslim and shot him.
To: Azeem
Exactly. I know two Sikhs. When 9/11 happened, they wanted to make very clear to everyone that they were NOT Muslim. They absolutely hate the Muslims for what they did and still do to the Sikhs. This article is PC feel-good nonsense.

Yep, and they have NOTHING in common with Muzzies.

I don’t think partnering with Muslims in anything is a good idea just now. Sikhs are Islamist targets too.

Let’s get one thing straight: There is no “”misconception”” about islam. It is a religion born in violence and steeped in violence. ANYONE who says different is a LIAR.

Sikhs started wearing turbans in defiance of Muslims in India. They also carried daggers, also in defiance of Islam in India. Sikhs are among the elite and fierce fighters in history. They were part of the British Army and fought valiantly for the Allies during WWI and WWII.
Sir Winston Churchill said the following about the Sikhs:
“British people are highly indebted and obliged to Sikhs for a long time. I know that within this century we needed their help twice [in two world wars] and they did help us very well. As a result of their timely help, we are today able to live with honour, dignity, and independence. In the war, they fought and died for us, wearing the turbans.”
Winston Churchill did not have the same view of Muslims. Unlike Muslims, Sikhs are peaceful. Unfortunately some view all turban wearing people as Muslims, and react in fear and concern.

Just another way to feed the victim mentality.

6 killed out of 26 million! That isn’t a backlash. That isn’t even statistically significant.
