US authorities have said they are investigating reports that a gunman who killed six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin had white supremacist links.
...
American Sikhs have reported being targeted since the 9/11 attacks, because they are mistaken for Muslims as a result of wearing turbans and beards. (BBC online)

What is it with Americans and guns? These people shouldn't be allowed to hold scissors, let alone guns :rolleyes:
 
I know for a fact that a lot of people in this country would also look at a turban and call the wearer a four letter word beginning with P thinking they were Muslim.
Not just in America.
 
I'll often be the first to bash americans but in this instance i think the average british person is equally ignorant.
 
I can't really tell the difference to be honest. Sikh's wear a turban and have a red dot? Is that right? Because that's all I know.

An American girl told me, the other day that she thought (after watching the Olympics) that Great Britain was in between Germany and France and had no idea it was an Island. * FACEPALM *

They are different religions.


Although as for the OP, if he is a proper White Supremacist, then surely to him, as base levels it doesn't matter who he attacks and kills, as long as they are foreign and not white?

I wondered if there had been a mixup when I heard the news.

What about a passport? Don't forget that one

They don't hold passports, not the majority of them who never leave the country, so they never experience 'foreign'. Easy to be afraid of what you don't understand. If anything they should take the guns off them, give them passports make them fly somewhere and stay for a couple of months, they'd go home better people.

Why are we focusing on the fact this creep mistook Sikh's for Muslim's like if he did this at a mosque and killed Muslim's it would make it better? :rolleyes:

Not OCUk but reading comments online it appears some people would find it less appalling if he got the "right" group.
