Namaste Everyone,
Whenever hate crimes happen with Middle easterners/Muslims as the stated target , I have noticed that it has been Hindus or Sikhs who pay the price with their lives , in spite of neither being Muslim nor middle-easterners.
There are several incidents that come to my mind
- Sikh in AZ shot dead
- Gurudwara in Wisconsin attacked
- Kent shooting
- Kansas bar killing
- NY subway killing (Indian pushed out from a moving train)
- Carolina shopkeeper killing etc..
The stats say thatthere are ~3.3 million Muslims in in US , where as there are only about 2.4million Hindus + Sikhs combined. There are 'zero' terror incidents fromHindus/Sikhs , but there are too many victims to hate crimes that are 'hateresponse to terror threat'. And this is not even proportional to the populationnumbers.
This appears thatMuslims are doing something right to avoid causality, while Hindu /Sikhs aremissing out on this and losing their lives.
Is there a learningopportunity for us? Any thoughts?
