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...

I never said that.
I stick up for Sikhs.
My own Indian family is Catholic.
I myself am, an a American Baptist.
I don’t think it’s cool for anyone to shoot up people over religious or cultural differences.
Sometimes that shit happens.
It happens more in India than here.
Again with “my kind”?
You paint with a very broad brush brother.
Umm ....Nope, it does not.
According to UNODC the intentional homicide rate per 100,000 for US is 4.2 higher then that of India at 3.4.

Brother, stop this. The point you are trying to make is only possible if the degree to which Indians are blamed collectively for individual incidents was intentional on the part of the American people. It is not.
They are not their Media. Americans feel themselves misrepresented by their own media to the rest of the world to the same degree that you feel Indians are being misrepresented.
And to put things into perspective. India has 20 million Sikhs. US has hardly 250 thousand. It would take a lot of effort to even find a Sikh......and in the middle of Wisconsin!
This guy Page really knew what he was going after.
Yeah, I always listen to the UN.
Look, This was a one off nutcase SOB.
There is no trend to be offended by.
We live in peace and harmony here for the most part.
What are we to do? Ban Guns? Ban Religions?
That’s what the UN would do.
I encounter Sikhs all the time even in nowhere, tiny town Texas.
They are welcomed.
Page was obviously a lunatic.
Maybe he did not like the long hair, Who knows?
He himself wsa a skinhead.
I have long hair.
My point is that Americans in general are not like this POS. I apologize if I tried to say that it is more likely to happen in Andrah Pradesh than here.
“This was a one off nutcase SOB.”
I have been in the US more then half my life and I know too well not to buy that.
UN data is always full of crap.
The UN are some of the worst offenders of humanity IMHO with their BS.
As I have said, I have family in India.
Our lives are mingled.
My Grandfather fought on the Ledo road.
Well everybody on this board sticks up for Sikhs.
Or maybe he just hated the smell of curry. Yeah it MUST have been something silly like that. After all we know how much Americans love brown skinned raghead. They love us so much they even coined so many different terms of endearment for us.
I am no fan of the UN. However their data on homicide is very accurate. I am sorry that you don’t like what they have to say.
All I know is this Wade POS was a loner and he was not mainstream.
You know why this guy killed Sikhs? Because Skinhead Whiteboys dont have the b@lls to take on Muslims. They are shit scared of Muslims. For all my dislike for the Muslims, I still kinda have respect for them. From Europe to US, Whiteboys dont dare eff with Muzzies.
