Sikhs demand apology from Kerry
From
Sify News, India comes a Kerry comment and some people's response:
bq. Sikh organizations in the US have taken strong exception to reported remarks of current democratic frontrunner in the US presidential race Senator John Kerry, for what they called,"singling out adherents of Sikh religion as terrorists" and demanded an apology from him.
bq. The Sikh Mediawatch and Resource Task Force (SMART) quoted Kerry as saying during his campaign in Oklahoma City on January 31 that terrorism did not begin on September 11, 2001. He went on to give examples of Northern Ireland, the Basque separatists in Spain and the Sikhs in India.
Ouch! If Kerry knew anything at all about Sikhs, he would not have made this statement. I hope he has the cojones to own up to his error and issue a gracious apology. The Basques too. The Irish would probably like to hear from him as well.
