Outrage as racist flyers portray Sikh New Jersey mayoral candidate as a terrorist
DAILY MAIL UK ^ | Nov. 4, 2017 | Mary Kekatos For Dailymail.com

Racist flyers have painted a Sikh candidate running for mayor of a New Jersey town as a terrorist.

The advertisements, left on car windshields in Hoboken, were directed at City Councilman Ravi Bhalla just days before Election Day on Tuesday.

'Don't let TERRORISM take over our Town!' read the larger message on the flyers, placed directly above a photo of Bhalla in his turban.

The flyer used the majority of an advertisement originally run by fellow mayoral candidate Michael DeFusco that attacked Bhalla over an alleged conflict of interest and added the larger print.

95% odds one of the Sikh’s supporters did it to cry racism and generate sympathy for the candidate.
Like the blacks who have hung nooses around buildings or the Jewish guy sending hateful messages to synagogues, creating the “hate” crimes they need to justify their statements that there is pervasive oppression.

Sikh is a Democrat. His opponent is Council President Jen Giattino, who one committeeman described as “a Trump-voting Republican.”

“Since announcing his candidacy for mayor of Hoboken, N.J., Ravinder Singh Bhalla has focused much of his campaign on defending the rights of immigrants and minorities, especially those imperiled by Trump administration policies.”

racist flyers

Sikhs are not a race. Sikhs and Hindus, as well as the vast majority of Muslims, are Caucasian.

I’m guessing the Seek dude, or his people, did this, in order to get some press.

These kinds of flyers are SOP for Democrats... they use them on their own base to scare-motivate the black community to turn out.

The militant Hindu fundamentalists who run India think all Sikhs are terrorists. That’s why they’ve murdered close to a million in extrajudicial killings.

There are people on this very site who share that belief (and support the violent Hindu nationalist RSS, and organizations under its umbrella.)

Sikhs are one people Muslims don’t screw around with. They know better.

According to the article, “the city’s elections are nonpartisan.”

“The militant Hindu fundamentalists who run India think all Sikhs are terrorists.”

Right after 9/11, I was on a double-decker bus in Hong Kong with my youngest two daughters. We sat behind a Sihk man. My youngest piped up, “Look, daddy, he has a dish-cloth wrapped around his head!”

It was an incredibly awkward moment. The Sikh man laughed and told her it was a turban. He showed her the knife that all Sikh men carry and explained why he had a beard, the turban, and the knife. He was incredibly gracious and about the incident and said it had happened before with other non-Sihk children.

Liberals are so pathetic that they don't "get" that we are on to them with false flag, agents provocateur BS.

In the suburbs of Seattle, someone wrote on a bathroom stall "muslims die 10/30 #MAGA".

No sale!

First, we conservatives would *never* write something like that, second, we know better than to basically write "Sincerely, Epstein's mother".

Might as well sign it "Heil Hitler", with a crudely drawn backwards swastika

Really, WHO honestly believes this crap?

To emphasize just how stupid our local liberals are, they've increased security at this school, and have extra police to "patrol" the campus.

Once I saw that pathetic attempt by some leftist idiot, I immediately said: HOAX.

The only question I have is: was it a student or teacher who placed it?
