Re: Shooting at Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, USA.You can't be serious?(Original post by FunkeyMunkey)
This is from CNN:
“Sikh people are not Muslim, but Hindu. They can be easily mistaken for Muslim or Taliban”

Re: Shooting at Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, USA.it's funny how you tell him to not jump to conclusions yet you didn't say the same thing to the people before him who all said it's most likley a thick redneck.(Original post by Oiseaux)
Don't jump to conclusions or assume things without any basis in fact. It's not "more likely" at all.
Complete double standards as usual -

Re: Shooting at Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, USA.No, you're the stupid one. After 9/11 some sikhs were attacked because they wore turbans and stupid americans thought they were muslims. But even if they were muslims it gives them no excuse.(Original post by Komatic)
Don't be ridiculous or idiotic, the gunman knew it was a Sikh temple.
He probably hated all colored people.
Love & Support to the families & victims of the WC Sikh temple shooting. RIP! -

Re: Shooting at Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, USA.Well, how many lives have been saved by guns?(Original post by Annoying-Mouse)
But, how many of these places where gun free zones? And you're forgetting the US states aren't all similar and some have more restrictions on guns. Plus, you haven't even accounted for how many lives have been saved by guns. This is a prime example of the simplicity of people and you still think you're in a position to be calling for any sort of policy change. Ha.
Do you honestly think that, despite the recent tragedies, despite the facts and figures, that letting anyone who wants a gun have one? In the states where some of the recent shootings have occurred, Wisconsin, Colorado and Arizona, you don't need a permit to buy weapons, you don't need a license to use the weapons, firearms aren't registered, and in Arizona, you don't even need a permit to conceal your weapon. Sure sounds like a recipe for civilian safety. -

Re: Shooting at Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, USA.As a non-muslim I can say that if they find it's a non-muslim (which it 99% is) it won't be classed as a 'terrorist' attack but if it's a muslim they're going to be like 'omg terrorism'. Idiots think you have no be a muslim to be a terrorist.

Re: Shooting at Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, USA.Are you Sikh?(Original post by Theoneoranro)
No, you're the stupid one. After 9/11 some sikhs were attacked because they wore turbans and stupid americans thought they were muslims. But even if they were muslims it gives them no excuse.

Re: Shooting at Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, USA.Gary Kleck has produced research on this matter. He has estimated guns are used in self defence up to 2,500,000 times per year in the USA.(Original post by FDR)

There is also some credibility to the theory that guns deter certain crimes from occuring in the first place.
Gun homicide rate and overall homicide rate has been falling for over 20 years now in America yet the rate of private ownership of firearms continues to increase.
You seem to be pointing out the fact that America has some issues with violence. Do you actually have any ideas on how to fix this?Last edited by TimHuak; 05-08-2012 at 23:56. -

Re: Shooting at Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, USA.These people who shoot everyone (like what happened in norway and now) follow the same ideology as people like the BNP follow. Hitler followed a the same ideology that the BNP follow. When a taliban attacks people in the name of their god, the ideology is to blame but it doesn't mean most muslims are violent people. In the same way the BNP-type racist ideology causes people to kill others but it doesn't mean most social white far-right supporters are like that. Infact I would say that the racist ideology is a lot worse than the muslim ideology because when it comes down to ratio, they've done A LOT more harm than the muslims.(Original post by Azaro)

Re: Shooting at Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, USA.I feel that a ban on firearms in America is now necessary after this homicide. The line between sanity and insanity is just too fine of a line for a mind that is not unlocked. Which happens to be the general population of all America.(Original post by TimHuak)
