We will remain "screwed up" until we vote the politicos out of office a few times so they know who is boss.

If only the sikh's had been packing, same as the theater. These nut cases only prey on the defenseless, not the well armed.

Of course, telling people they have to pack is just as wrong as trying to curtail my rights to own a weapon.

You noticed the key phrases:

"In the United States they have often been mistaken for Muslims and have been targeted by anti-Islam activists, particularly after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States."

and

"Since 9/11, there have been more than 700 reports of hate-related incidents against Sikhs in the United States, according to the Associated Press. "Sikhs don't practice the same religion as Muslims," the AP noted, "but their long beards and turbans often cause them to be mistaken for Muslims, advocates say."


Muslims and Sikhs actually don't like each other in the Middle East. But you will not see violence between them here in America because here they are free to practice their religions separately.

However, this STILL does not give ignoramuses permission to kill innocent people of either religion just because they think they are terrorists. I am Muslim and I have NO DESIRE to blow up anyone or cause terror. My Muslim community here is working with the non-Muslim community to stop this gross misinformation about Islam because, frankly, we are getting tired of being blamed for one man's actions and one extremism sect's behavior. Those people are not Muslims. Even us Muslims know that. Why hasn't anyone else realized that? There are over 2.1 billion Muslims in the entire world. And exactly how many people are being blown up? There are enough Muslims to wipe out a good chunk of Christians and become the #1 religion, but we choose not to. Why? Because that is not what is said to be done in the Qur'an or Sunnah. Why I reverted to Islam? Because of the peace and love I found in the religion and in the Qur'an. I spent 10 years researching Islam. Never did I once read 9/11 in the Qur'an or Sunnah.


Try reading the Bible again. I found more violence in the Bible than I ever did in the Qur'an. And I would know, my mother is a former Roman Catholic Nun.

Muslims kill and attack Sikhs in India often. There are not many Sikhs in the middle east for them to kill.

I personally believe that the theory of more guns deterring crime, is similar to believing more autos will decrease traffic


still, we will always have nutcases who figure out ways to harm people, especially if its easy for them to obtain the equipment to do it,,,,

It's not a theory of MORE guns deterring crime. It's the theory of owning a gun will deter crime.

maybe, if the criminal believes you have one or that you can get to it before they surprise you,,

otherwise, it deters similar to capital punishment,,,only those who dont think they are too smart to get caught,,,

which is probably not alot of them,,,,

Gun owner ship has deterred crime for here for many decades. You just don't see it in the news everyday. Then one nut does something and libs want to ban guns completely.

Muslims, the Panthers and other extremists would love to see us unable to defend ourselves

Muslims are killing thousands daily.
Particularly Christians. Then, they kill those who won't convert.
And one nutcase makes national news.

How many Christians have killed Muslims in the last month? I would dare bet Muslims would be found guilty of more atrocities.

Muslims, the Panthers and other extremists would love to see us unable to defend ourselves

Im sure there are those who want people 'defenseless'

there are also those who just dont want people to be capable of taking out dozens of people in ten seconds,,,,,


there is a lot of area between those two options,,,

Those people are the same.
The NUTJOBS who go on these murdering sprees will obtain a weapon illegally if they want.
Keeping law abiding citizens from owning will not lower crime in our country.
Look at Illinois. They are the only state without some form of conceal carry law.
Murder is up over 26% in Chicago. Yep not having guns is really working out well for them.

WadeM. Page, the man who the police say shot and killed six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin this week, died froma self-inflicted gunshot wound, officials said on Wednesday. The authorities had reported earlier that he was fatally shot by a police officer.

one reason its always wise to wait a couple weeks to a month to get the 'truest' account

the first accounts are media attempts to rush the story so as not to be beat out, and they can often get details mixed up or just plain wrong in their rush to report..

Americans are not very bright. Our primary source of information comes from corporate cotroled media. Our thirst for world dominance, arresting depleteing resourses are at the root of the so called "war"on terror. The greatest international terrorists in history reside in the along with their corporate whores like the WB, IMF, and The Federal Reserve control swaying of public opinion. If one thinks they know whats really going on in the world by the worlds greatest institution, (our media) and one thinks the truth is being told, well I got a bridge to sell, cheap. The killer at the Sikh temple was not a "loon". He was consumed with hatred. Extreme hatred stem from fear. White supremists are and have been quite active, and are just as much terrorists as are the kkk, National Christian Alliance, White Alliance, Skinheads, Hammerskins, Aryan Brotherhood, Volksfront, Nazis, and the many of American militia movement. All wish to "ethnicly cleanse" America. Finally, Muslims do not kill others to convert. Again, "i got a bridge to sell". The camphain to villify Muslims is strictly to justify a thrust to militarily remove Iran from the most strategic landlock in the world. America has already removed several Muslim countrys. The goal is to totally controll the "hill" that is the middle east.
