"This isn't the first time that some dumb ass redneck has attacked a Sikh under the mistaken belief that the victim was a Muslim."

Why do you assume they thought he was a Muslim? Maybe they wanted to beat up a Sikh?

Ahhhh, that explains why my daughter's pediatrician wears a silver bracelet...I never asked him cause I thought it was none of my business. Great doctor and a nice guy with a great family

The incident occurred in the Richmond area of Queens which has a large immigrant population on Saturday night.

It's even worse. There is no "Richmond" section in Queens. "Richmond Hill" is the proper name of the section, a name that dates to the 19th century.

This New York City journalist and his editors should know the names of well-established NYC areas. It's like calling Greenwich Village "Greenwich". (He calls it "Richmond Hills" later in the article which is just as erroneous.)

Maybe it's time for the sikhs to take off their horrible headwraps if they want to be in this country.

Fundamentalist Muslims certainly feel that way. How long have you been a member of the Taliban?

"In what is considered to be a hate crime"...Are we profiling here in the press? Is there such a thing as a "love crime"?

If they were Rednecks, first they would have offered him a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon, a bag of pork rinds and then kicked his butt. I believe when the smoke clears, it was some New York street trash out on the prowl with a northern attitude. Bush/Cheney 2004.

The Sikh "5K's" are about reverence to God, cleanliness, modesty, willingness to defend what is right and honorable.

Concepts you seem to be totally unaware of.
