Funny, isn't it? How as soon as a race or religion is brought up, everyone who follows that race or religion is instanlty branded as being exactly the same. Look at the bombings in Boston. Everyone was jumping up and down screaming it was the Muslims with no real proof that it was by Muslims. This just goes to show just how narrow-minded society can be. Those men deserve whatever they get for their actions, all other Sikhs shouldn't be branded as the same as them.


That's a bad example seeing as how they did turn out to be Muslims.

But Sikhism isn't mentioned in the thread title

Adding the word "Sikhs" yourself isn't big or clever

I saw the link and thought they would be south Asian, saw the names and was proven correct.


Sikhs by the look of it.

Nick Griffin is silent on this matter...
2 years is not enough for these savages.

Wrong, it was men then Sikhs :cool: I got rid of sikhs because people were accusing me of stereotyping them somehow.

Ok.

Pretty ridiculous really, if they were all sikhs then why isn't it acceptable to describe them as such?

The point is that people instantly assumed it was them just because of the high profile attacks Islamic extremists have performed.

How reassuring :rolleyes:


It is rather reassuring, isn't it?
Funny how you pointed that out when I clearly said I'm against the fact that they're allowed to wear them :rolleyes:

if you took down sikhs from the title then it shows what a weasel you are since it was establieshed that the 40-50 men were sikhs. pointing out a fact doesnt stereotype anyone even if ignorant ppl or racists subsequently use it to stereotype them.

I know what your point is; they say a leopard never changes its spots, but sometimes the spots stick to the same leopard

How does it show him to be a 'weasel'?
I just think that pointing out their religion is unnecessary.
The details are always given when a crime involves ethnic minorities from what I have seen.

its needed to point out the specific community, its unfair to say it was "asians" and theres nothing wrong in pointing out the specific community. and mentioning it was sikhs was right because it was in retaliation to an abuse on a sikh, so the attack was ethnicity/religiously motivated. the reason y you dont want it to say sikhs is the same why any other group wouldnt want to be specifically mentioned which is simply it brings negative attention to your group, nothing to do with it been unnecessary.
