At least four people were shot just after 10 a.m. Sunday at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, and a police SWAT team entered the building before noon and brought uninjured people out of the building at 7512 S. Howell Ave.

Among those who were shot was the president of the temple.

People were in the temple as early as 6:30 a.m. Sunday and many more were arriving for a service that was to begin about 11:30 a.m.

There were reports that children were taken to the building's basement after shots were fired.

Did the Hare Krishnas (kind of an unorthodox Hindu outreach program) get their free meals inspiration from the Sikhs?

I told my girlfriend that I’m starting to feel like I’m living in 1930’s Germany.

That's indeed the case. Adolph Hitler: socialist. Obama: socialist. And the parallels don't stop there by any means.

That further raises the chance this was not at all a coincidence.

Every one of these things concerning shootings in religious places, recently, is that it virtually always is a personal thing, the shooter has some kind of tie to the place.

This is horrible!

Just imagine this happening in your Church or Temple this morning?

And two shooters...that indicates premeditation and conspiracy.

Prayers up for a very rapid response for the injured, for the safety of the children, and for the protection of the police and the emt’s.

He’s at the best hospital in the area being treated. They deal with gunshots all the time. They did say they expect him to survive which is good news.

At least it wasn’t 300 Chick-Fil-A sandwiches.

I suspect the 300 burgers was just a diversion.

Serving food on the premises of temples to visitors is an ancient activity in India. Remember, Sikhism branched out of the Hindu religion and became militaristic as a reaction to the Muslim invasion of India.

The more I hear about this the more it’s not some dumb group of white racists doing it. It’s just not the profile. It’s a group of 3-4 people. They obviously researched the special priest being there today. What group of people have problems with Sikhs and like to persecute them? It ain’t German Wisconsin white guys. It’s the muslims. They could blend right in to the general crowds too appearing to look like Sikhs.

If it’s anything at all along these lines then it means the shooters know (or think) their victims are Hindus/Indians and not Muslims.

There's a HUGE clue here. They want to force people to go against their deep seated religious beliefs. They want to shove their religious beliefs down their throats.
Two white Americans. WHO would want a religious organization - that opposes the liberal agenda - to do something contrary to their conscience?

Yes, it confirms to me it isn’t “white guys”. It’s muslims. They knew the special visiting priest was going to be there today. They took this as a chance to get back at longtime enemies.

Earlier reports of visiting S priest from India suggests foreign involvement with assassination the goal. Hope the dude wasn’t outed by Obama’s WH as a CIA asset or something. Wish we could find out his name.

The parallels are eerily similar, except instead of Jews, it’s Christians that are now ok to persecute. I know in this case it wasn’t but that’s where the trend is going. I’m still wondering when 0bama’s Reichstag Fire moment will happen.
