Sikh, Attack, American

That is precisely what 20 years old Everett Thompson thought he was doing when he stabbed his 40 year old neighbor in the neck.

Everett Thompson is now in Santa Clara police custody and is being held under suspicion of attempted murder and a hate crime. The only problem to this story of “heroism” is that Everett Thompson did not know enough of religions or the world to differentiate between a Sikh and member of the Taliban.

For Everett Thompson stabbed in the neck Iqbal Singh who is not a member nor probably has he ever been a member of the Taliban and has most likely never even been a Muslim in his life. Iqbal Singh the victim in this case is a follower of the Indian religion of Sikhism.

Sikhism originates in the Punjab region of India and is as distinct from Islam as is Buddhism or Hinduism. The current Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who is a Sikh is pictured above meeting American President George Bush.

Its a real sorry state of affairs but just shows what blind hate can do.
