Sikhs would not kill white people unlike what we have seen the Muslims do

The bottom line is that the attack was done by TERRORISTS. Forget the other labels, they are of no consequence. There are terrorists of all skin colours, of all religions (or lack thereof).

Terror has been generally escalating and this latest bunch have unfortunately upped the ante.

PS: As for Sikh terrorism, it appears that until now, they were world leaders. They held the 'title' when the following web site was last updated in June 2001:

"Three hundred and twenty-nine people are killed. Eighty-two of them are children. Most of the people onboard Air India Flight 182 are Canadian citizens. The Guinness Book of Records still lists the Air India disaster as the worst-ever single terrorist attack. "

... I guess the terrorists lost their world record to a new group now. 82 children. A plane full of innocents. 2 baggage handlers in Tokyo killed while a similar bomb is being transferred to another Air India flight, mercifully sparing another plane load of innocents.

Granted, parts of the case still are ongoing but Sikh complicity has been central to the case for over 15 years.

Perhaps OBL and crew took lessons from them "multiple targets at the same time".

A good overview for the uninitiated: cbc.ca
