6. besides the vileness of the crime itself,

what is sad is the screaming ignorance. sikhism is a dharmic religion, as are buddhism, jainism, and hinduism, it is not even in the family of abrahamic religions as is islam.

not that i would expect a mouth breathing bigoted vandal to even have the slightest idea.

besides, their skin is brown and they talk and dress funny, isn't that all that matters?
