One of the witnesses apparently described the gunman as a man with a "9/11" tattoo. It would appear part of the problem is that people in America can't even get their bigoted ignorance right "Durrrr, they're brown and wear Turbans- they must be Muslim and therefore evil!"

Terroristic acts on Mosques are sadly not that rare in America, they're just not usually reported as terrorism by the media, on the rare occasions they're reported at all. (Rare beyond the very local news at least.) It's the same kind of subtle anti-Muslim bias which leads to Sunni and Shia Islam always being called "sects" instead of "denominations". Two words which mean the same or nearly the same thing, but if the News said "there's inter-denominational violence" instead of "sectarian violence" it would make the victims of said violence too human and familiar to American Christians. *sigh* Human beings, always striving to define those not in their group as inferior and alien, it's a damn shame.

Don't blame Americans or Christians for it. Blame stupidity. Every countries got em. It's just that the bigger the population, the more of them are in it.

Of course, that's why I said humans at the end of my post. Not Americans or Christians in particular.

"Why would that be worse?" lol.
But yeah just what I was saying, bigotry is ignorance. To those like him who have given themselves over to hate, outsiders, Muslims and Sikhs in this case, are all the same thing. All the terrifying and encroaching "other".

MEANWHILE IN EGYPT

15 Egyptian soldiers killed by terrorists at Sinai checkpoint.

At least 15 Egyptian soldiers were killed and nine others wounded Sunday when masked assailants carried out the attack as the men were breaking their Ramadan fast at sunset, officials said.
The Israel Defense Forces blamed terrorists associated with the Global Jihad group for the violence.
"Terrorists in the Sinai region captured an Egyptian military post ... killed over 10 Egyptian soldiers and took over two armored personnel carriers," IDF said in a statement.

You see, Egyptian terrorists, probably associated with Al-Qaida, attacked soldiers while they were performing a religious Muslim ritual. It has nothing to do with religion. Half of those terrorist roaming around the Middle East are quite basically anarchists, each hating their states for their own reasons.
