I'm extremely disappointed too. Where have they been?

I will say this.. within a couple days of 9/11, a huge Sikh community where I live did fundraisers and sent the money to NY. They have been wonderful neighbors. True Americans. I was so glad they did it, and raised so much so quickly, because it quelled any prejudices that may have popped up. But I wonder if it even would have.. as they have just been awesome in our community.

We have lived in one of the most mixed and diverse towns in the USA, and it has been a true blessing. I would hate to even say where it was, because people would try to bring their families here to enjoy it. And then we would be over-run. It would change.

The Sikhs did more than any of the local churches. And way sooner.

But where is the Muslim community? Why the silence? Considering the fact that the perps who harmed us were Muslim, it would seem that a showing of support FOR America, and AGAINST extremist would have served everyone well!! So why the silence?

Thanks for posting this. Interesting .. and I'm glad to see a Muslim FINALLY speaking up.. and loudly!! But will the Muslim community start responding? I won't hold my breath. It has been 10 months. In two months, a year. Where are they?

Sihks have suffered greatly at the hands of Muslims, there is a sihk temple back in my home town (Campbell River BC, Canada) that has scrolls that depict what went on when the muslims tried to convert the sihks..all of the sihks I have met are hard working and very family oriented, they even invite non-sihks to come on down and check things out at the temple.

Most have moved to north America because they are tired of the same old crap going on in their home countries, they just want to live their lives away from it.

Besides they are good fighters and have a distinguished history of serving in times of war.
