Regardless of this many Sikhs were targeted falsely and stories like these only inflamed people more.

6. SIKHS TARGETTED
Combining thuggery with ignorance, dim-witted xenophobes who cannot distinguish Sikhs from Arabs have been attacking Sikh immigrants in the New York area and around the country, Newsday reported Oct. 28. Karnail Singh of Richmond Hill. Queens, was coming home from praying at the neighborhood Sikh temple when he was attacked by a knife-yielding man who screamed, "You are Arab!" Singh pleaded: "I am not Arab! I am Sikh!" But he was slashed in the arm, chest and hand. He has returned to his native India in the wake of the attack.
Tejindar Singh Kahlon, a Nassau County family court official and 25-year US citizen, was not allowed onto a flight at Long Island's MacArthur Airport because he refused to remove his turban for security. Sikh religious strictures prohibit removing turbans in public. Kahlon, who was going to friend's wedding in Arizona, said, "What kind of freedom is this? This is not American."
Sikh leaders report 200 hate crimes directed against American Sikhs since Sept. 11, and have met with Justice Department officials to discuss the problem. Newsday says the FBI has launched 200 investigations into hate crimes since 9-11, including some against Sikhs. There have been two indictments, including of a Seattle man accused of attempting to blow up a mosque. Neither of the indictments concern attacks on Sikhs, but CNN.com reported Sept. 16 that a man was being questioned by police in the shooting death of Balbir Singh Sodhi, a Sikh gas station owner in Mesa, AZ.

And everyone knows it's Pakistani and Indian people who run convenience
stores. Not Arabs.
