Sub: Shooting at Gurudwara at Oak Tree, WI
We are shocked and horrified at the brutal killing of our 7 Sikh brothers by a gunman at the Gurudwara (Temple) at Oak Tree, WI.
Since 9/11 several Sikhs have been mistaken for Arabs, Afghans and Iranians; attacked and killed. We are very upset and express our anguish at the death of our innocent brothers. Our hearts go to the family members of those who have been killed. We pray to God to give them inner strength to bear this blow with courage, patience and fortitude.
It is also incumbent on Hindus and Sikhs to educate our non-Indian American fellows with regard to Sikh Dharma. Sikhs are peaceful and law abiding people, and are known for their bravery, loyalty and patriotism all over the world. We have to make it very clear to our American brothers that Sikhism has nothing to do with Islam or terrorism.
At the same time, we urge the Law Enforcement agencies to bring to book the culprits as soon as possible.
