:dateline:The Sikh Community across the United States has expressed gratitude towards members of various faiths who have shared their support during these harsh times.� Various faith members, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and many others, including those of no faith have come out to share solace with the Sikhs after the�terrorist�attack in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.� The attack claimed six lives but brought together all communities in America.
While Sikhs are busy organizing vigils and other memorials throughout the United States, non-Sikhs have also organizing similar programs throughout the nation in support of the shooting of Sikhs.� Christians, Jews and Muslims have sent correspondence to Sikhs that their places of worship are open for the Sikhs to come and educate other communities.� At the same time, non-Sikhs have been seen in large number throughout numerous programs held in the US.� Just yesterday, Dr. Harmash Kuman from Contra Costra county of California, where there are fewer Sikhs relative to Fremont or San Jose, announced he would take lead on organizing a vigil there.
The entire incident has brought together people of all faiths.� Sikh24 has learned from its readers that since the day of the shootings, they have been given solace by members of many communities.� We received news of two while males running to hug a Sikh youth wearing a turban outside a train station in San Francisco, California.� Another comment shared with Sikh24 was about a Sikh girl wearing a turban who was approached by a young white male on a bus who said �Sorry�.
While the response from other communities has been largely positive, some people are trying to take advantage of the incident to push their own agendas.� Sikh24 Editors want to share with its audience that such individuals who are trying to spew hatred should be ignored and not given any attention.� This is the time we need to express our appreciation for other communities and show the entire Nation that we are an integral part of America.
