The Fresno area of California is like Pennsylvania’s Pennsyltucky. This is shameful. These stories make me ill.

The beard and turban traditionally worn by Sikh men, including Bal, make them particularly visible targets for anti-Muslim crimes.
Ahhhh, that makes it sound like the writer thinks Sikhs are a “kind of muslims”, they most definitely are not. It is a completely different religion.

You think people who violently insist that all 1.5 billion Muslims are terrorists bent on the extermination of Christun Umerika and thus all ought to be deported/monitored/interned/exterminated are going to make such fine-grained, nuanced distinctions as recognizing that Sikhism is a totally different religion from Islam?

It’s a lot easier to deny any connection to the actions of your Movement’s Brownshirts when you outsource the head-stomping to independent contractors the way Trump does.

No, but I think the reporter could try to make a distinction, at the very least.

The eyeballer would make ME to be a Sikh. Or a Muslim. Or a Mediterranean type classed as “white”.
My boricua wife has been mistaken for an African American, Muslim and Samoan (which she probably most resembles).
Trump and his minions have done things which cannot be undone. The adage that it takes 1,000 “atta-boys” to undo ONE dressing-down applies to more than parenting.
The MSM, in their quest for the eternal HorseRace perpetual info-tainment “campaign/WWF” show, is 100% responsible for this by not framing what Trump is doing in an accurate manner.

These people operate at the level of their reptilian brain, therefore, utterly useless trying to talk sense to them. Ideal Trump voters. They feel…so they don’t have to think.

What has to happen before Trump’s hate speech is recognized for shouting fire in a crowded theater? And since when has violent right-wing nationalism not been terrorism?

Get used to this…attacks on anyone that looks different, firebombs at mosques…
How much longer until we have our own Kristalnacht, spurred on my the hateful rhetoric that emanates from Trump and Cruz and their soft-minded followers.
If ever there as a time to put into practice the tenet of “Never Again” which is ingrained in every Jew since WWII, it is now.“Never Again” mean that the horror the Jews suffered in WWII should never happen again, to ANYONE, be they Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Gay, Lesbian, ANYTHING.
Too many of my Jewish friends are gung-ho to oppress Muslims in the name of “security.”

Well, everybody knows that … have physical characteristics that
would make them pretty easy to identify in a setting like that.
Is it just me, or do we rarely ever hear about how these bastard are caught, tried, and convicted?
