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...

Kind of makes you wonder why all of Africa and the ME isn’t trying to smooth things out with America with the hundreds of thousands of burned alive, hacked to death, crucified, enslaved, raped, mutilated Christians over the last couple of years? I dunno, maybe they just aren’t scared of us very much.
Grading on religious freedom is one thing, being outraged about 1 person going berzerk when it’s an anomaly is another. I do see your point in that the State Department and other org.’s list those things.
The NRA should offer to train Sikhs in personal defense/concealed carry.
That is how one defends oneself in America.
Arrogance produces safety? Who knew?
Yada, yada, yada
The Wisconsin “massacre” was of and by Sikhs.
When Sikhs kill Sikhs, why do we have to apologise?
So if India isn’t going to show concern for the Sikhs, who do you expect to show concern for the Sikhs? Saudi Arabia? Vatican?

True... we’re both preaching to the choir..
except for the treasonous RINOS lurking..
No but US govt does raise a stink about “religious freedom”. This is India getting back at the US.
Huh? So you are saying it was better for these poor victims to be shot here then to live in what you so vividly describe as “hellhole garbage dump of a country”?
Hopefully Krishna might remind her about US stink about “religious freedom” when stuff happens in India.
Did any American get killed or attacked in India in recent times?
Should Asia and Africa also apologize to Rome for Christian colonization, Inquisition and slavery?
And the basis for your cute acrimony is what exactly?
Thousands are killed in India in massacres.
Not to mention wife burnings and female baby killings. (Though we also have killed millions in the womb.)
Also for the record, all Sikhs believe in the right to bear arms. It is a key Sikh philosophical view, a free people is an armed people, anything else is bondage however soft the shackles. Anybody who wishes to use this tragedy to enforce laws which take this right away is being foolish.
The right to bear arms is something Americans should feel proud of. It is one of the principles that Sikhs Admire Americans for having faith in.
Chardi Kala, people have died, that doesn't mean we all have to turn into cowards, forever scared of the very world we live in. Have faith in God, celebrate their lives, get armed and welcome the next attempt.
You know 95% of the GOP is “RINO”. Particularly to the fire-eaters around FR. No one is good enough.
