Displaying far more patience than anyone could expect from someone who suffered what appears to be a hate crime just two days ago, Columbia University professor Prabhjot Singh said on Monday that he'd like to educate those who broke his jaw while screaming, "Osama" and "terrorist." Singh, a physician who has worked to stop hate crimes against Sikhs, said he's thankful that three bystanders intervened to stop the attack by about two dozen young men on bikes in Harlem. Now he's trying to take something positive from the incident, and break "this feedback cycle of turban-beard-terrorist." "I think it’s pointless to ask what was going through their minds,” he said of his attackers. "I would ask them if they had any questions, if they knew what they were doing? Invite them where we worship. Get to know who we are and then share it with your friends."
Sikhs are supposed to always be armed, and should carry their Kirpan so they can defend themselves and their families.
Perhaps the good doctor forgot his that day?
They were probably Sons of Obama. The doctor said he couldn’t see them in the dark.
who want to bet this was a hoax? Another race baiter fake crime
This type of mental make-up is like the people of Baghdad who when Genghis Khan(if I remember correctly) came exited the city waving palm fronds and shouting peace! peace! The Great Khan made a mountain out of 100,000 skulls. They died to provide amusement for the Mongols.
Yeah, they are very educatable.
I actually did educate someone, once upon a time. His professors were named Smith and Wesson, and he is now in prison for 67 years.
Perhaps the good doctor forgot his that day?
Remember, this happened in Bloomberg's NYC, where it's probably illegal to carry such a weapon.
Race baiters never wrongly implicate that demographic when trying to make a point.
Teachable moment, PING!
***Sikhs are supposed to always be armed,***
Many now carry a symbolic knife with a rivet through it so it can’t be pulled from it’s sheath.
This guy is hoping to milk a little leftist opportunism out of this. He was the victim of a black attack, and his Sikh garb was nothing more than an excuse. He should recognize the truth, and tell that.
Sikhs in my area are big on carrying knives and being warriors. A good warrior needs the wisdom to recognize the real enemy.
I do not believe he was attacked for his Turban or his beard or the fact that he was a Sickh. He was attacked because he was in Harlem and he isn’t black.
I’m going to take a wild guess here...I don’t think the Turban had anything to do with it.
I feel this way every time I read an article in the NYT scolding conservatives for their views.
“Victim of Apparent Hate Crime Wishes He Could Educate His Attackers...”
A special kind of stupid raises its ugly head again.
You can take the thug out of the hood, but you can’t take the hood out of the thug!
Neutered a great religion, did they?
If you can’t have your religion in NYC, then don’t go to NYC.
Good luck with that, Charlie.
Feral animals don’t respond to training.
