The Seikh Temple

And bold American ignorance. There are no words to describe how horrible, pointless, sad and mindless the Seikh Temple shootings are. Americans do not understand who Seikhs are. Seikhs are not Arabs. I know the name sounds like Sheiks, like they are some princely normadic arabic folk but that is silly. Seikhs are from the Punjab province of India and Pakistan. They are Indian (from India) and Pakistani, not remotely Arab. Not remotely Persian, not remotely Palestinian, and not remotely terrorists. The ones in America tend to be fantastically entrepreneurial, largely Republican in many areas and are great business people. There is no reason to shoot them or anyone just because they wear a turban. It is not enough to say 'our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family' - this sort of insanity has to be fought head on- and the American people need a lesson in Who Your Neighbors Are. Who Are Your Neighbors? Jesus said love them. No excuses.
