5. Recently, a gunman shot 9 people, killing 6 of them at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. Fellow Sikhs were saddened and confused by this act. The Sikhs have always been a target for terrorism due to the the fact that they look similar to Muslims, who are much harsher than the Sikhs, and have a very bad reputation. Most of these gunman are confused and kill blindly without even knowing how peaceful the Sikhs truly are, much like the gunman. This unjust tragedy leaves the Sikh community unhappy and in pain.
