Its getting sad and pathetic that this kind of violence has to happen. 7 dead this time around. Just no way to stop it sadly.

A Sikh temple? Hmmm, quite unusual outside of the usual hotspots for there to be trouble there. Could be a disgruntled Muslim, a misguided right-winger or just another nutter with a gun.

Either which way a terrible event.

Sikh <> Muslim.

They just happen to look similar.

Sikhism is a monotheistic faith that was founded in South Asia more than 500 years ago. It has roughly 27 million followers worldwide. Observant Sikhs do not cut their hair; male followers often cover their heads with turbans - which are considered sacred - and refrain from shaving their beards. There are roughly 500,000 Sikhs in the U.S., according to estimates. The majority worldwide live in India.

Figured it woul be worth noting that before We went down that road.

Anyone remember that shooting in September, 2001 where a Sikh gas station owner was shot in Mesa, AZ by a "patriot" who wanted revenge for the 911 attacks?

Stupid people have been confusing Sikh with Muslims for a while.

There has been plenty of animosity between the two (along with Hindi). Though odds are it is some nutjob who hates Muslims and doesn't know the difference (or care).
