[New York]Sikh Rights Group Cautions Sikh-American Community Against Hate Crime , After US Shooting
In the wake of the gunning down of four marines at military facilities in Tennessee by a Muslim youth with “unshorn beard”, a Sikh rights group has asked Sikh-American community members to exercise caution as they become vulnerable to hate crimes following such incidents.
This caution came after a 24-year-old gunman opened fire at two US military centres in Tennessee yesterday, killing four marines in a rampage that officials said was being probed as an act of “domestic terrorism.” The shooter was identified by the FBI as Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez.
The Sikh Coalition expressed condolences for the victims and their families following the shooting at the military facilities in Chattanooga.
The group said the Sikh community and other religious minorities are vulnerable to backlash, hate crimes and discrimination following such attacks.
