Mob attacks a Sikh guy mistaking him for Osama Bin Laden

[subdued_passion]

Hateful mob attacks Sikh who says he was mistaken for a radical Muslim

Police are investigating the incident as a hate crime. 'It’s incredibly sad,' Prabhjot Singh says. 'It’s not the neighborhood I know. I work in this community. It’s just not American.'

All crimes are "hate" crimes.

The very idea of "hate" crimes violates the most fundamental principles of American justice, that is equal protection of the criminal law.

"HATE" CRIME LAWS NEED TO BE ABOLISHED AS A SAD RELIC OF THE 1980s. TREAT ALL CRIMES THE SAME, NO BETTER AND NO WORSE BASED ON WHO THE VICTIMS ARE. A CRIME IS A CRIME.

PeePee next time teach your people how to correctly spot a Muslim. You don't wanna exterminate the wrong race accidentally.

The first thing of value I have ever seen RR contribute to a thread.

I blame MOOSEFUCKS for this

I blame MOOSEFUCKS for this

I blame haters like you. So eager to be rid of Muslims that they'll strike down anyone who even looks like one.



But seriously. I read this in the paper this morning and instantly thought that these must be PeePee's peeps.

Well, there was that guy last year who shot up the Sikh temple, killing a bunch of people because he couldn't tell the difference between a Sikh and a Muslim.

They were brown, and different looking, so they MUST have been terrorists!

 

[Liar]

Can't open the link. Does it really say Bin Laden?

Can't open the link. Does it really say Bin Laden?

A professor at Columbia University who is Sikh was attacked Saturday night in upper Manhattan by a mob who called him “Osama” and “terrorist,” police said Sunday.

Prabhjot Singh, 31, who has written articles about violence toward Sikhs in America, was the target of the vicious assault just blocks from his Harlem home.

You know, really, anyone who can be mistaken for a waterlogged corpse is already having a shitty day. They're not somebody whom you need to attack.

I read the article in today's Times of India.

 

[Liar]

More to the point, if it had been a Muslim, would that be any better?

This is what struck me as well. I mean, do people in America not believe that Osama is really dead?

Yup. You said it. I don't have to.

Let's just say that all hate crimes are at approximately the same level of thought, discretion and education and call it that.

Some crimes that have actual gain like money have a slightly higher level of thought process.

Stupid people are stupid people and hateful makes a great dancing partner with stupid.

I'm sure you have some in your country too.

I can name a bunch of posters here who would say it would be ok if it was a Muslim guy.


I'm not the kind to post news articles. But I was in the midst of a long argument with some of the posters who were calling for a ban on Islam and killing of all Muslims as the only solution for the current problems in the world.

Nothing wrong with the links per se. I'm on a cell phone and can barely open anything.

So, does it say OBL? Cause if I saw a dead and waterlogged brownish guy in a big beard walking around, I minght think Osama too.

I like the way you put it.

We have plenty of stupid and hateful.

When India and Pakistan matches take place and India wins and a muslim family celebrates you'll have idiots beat them up saying how dare you celebrate.... because according to people here all muslims are from Pakistan. :roleyes:

(Being called a Pakistani is a highly offensive term for an Indian)

I know. We call those posters morons and ignore them.

 

[tactful]

They should have bought the book, "Getting to Know your Turbans", freakin' dummies.

There's even a button for it.

I know the difference. Many, many people know the difference.

But some people are stupid and hateful and they shouldn't drag down the overall IQ levels, but it appears they do.

 

[subdued_passion]

But then only their voice and their views are heard. I wouldn't want them mistaking the silence for acquiescence.
