AMRITSAR: Sikhs in the UK have blamed the government for ignoring the incidents of hate crimes directed at the community. "The Sikh Federation, UK was dismayed when the Hate Crime Action Plan was issued in July, which appeared to have been written as though the estimated 750,000 British Sikh community did not exist," said Gurjit Singh of the Federation to TOI on Thursday. He said the body had written to Prime Minister Theresa May, UK home secretary Amber Rudd and secretary of the state at the department for communities and local government Sajid Javid about the hate crime directed towards the visible Sikh community. He said for Sikhs it was not a new phenomenon following the Brexit vote, but something that raised its ugly head at the national and international level more than 15 years ago post 9/11 and had not been properly acknowledged by the successive British governments. Chair of Sikh Federation, UK, Amrik Singh said, "More than 30 years ago Sikhs were legally recognized by the law lords, the highest court in the country, as a 'race' and afforded protection. However, whilst individual Sikhs have been successful to prosecute in cases of direct and indirect discrimination, the community as a whole has continued to suffer in silence." He said PM May announced in late August that 'race audits' would be conducted within 12 months. "Given the way the home office and others have dealt with hate crimes directed towards Sikhs, we expect the home office to come up short and give new meaning to term 'institutional racism,'" he said.Network of Sikh Organizations, in its letter to the home secretary on November 30, stated, "At the beginning of the year we uncovered some important statistics. Twenty-eight percent of the victims of so-called 'Islamophobic' hate crime were in fact non-Muslim - Sikhs, Hindus, Christians and those of no recorded faith." http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/UK-Sikh-body-says-British-govt-ignoring-hate-crimes-against-community/articleshow/55736611.cms

Just few days ago a white nationalist terrorist killed 6 people inside a mosque in quebec, canada. I am no fan of Islam and islamification as many will know on the forum. However Where is the coverage the mass hysteria and outcry from mainstream and alternative media against white terrorism against non-white minorities? Oh yes there isn't any.... white privilege strikes again just like the religion of pieces (islam) its counterpart white terrorism is just as fatal just as nasty and just as a threat to us, whites and other non-whites. In 2012 a us army veteran psy ops specialist called Michael page wade murdered 6 innocent Sikh Americans in a gurdwara in wisconsin he did not care if they were moslems or not he just hated and wanted to kill all non-whites. In 2015 a British Sikh dentist in cardiff was almost hacked to death by a white terrorist from the now banned white terrorist group "national action uk" he didnt care if that guy was a muslim or not he just wanted to kill a brown/asian guy. British Sikh survey recently out shows how much discrimination British Sikhs face in society even though they are one of the most integrated of ethnic religious communities yet there is no government help or outcry like there is for jews. Its open overt discrimination and it needs to be called out.... are Sikhs sleeping again? Have thy got enough intelligence to call out victimisation by every day white privilege surrounding them? Things are bound to get worse as we see how the west is lurking towards far right politics. So its time to wake up and unite against the common threats we face as a kaum.

white privilage anti-sikh news content copywriters and editors working at sky news rear their ugly racist again by reporting about the icident at lemington gurdwara as an 30 armed sword weidling gang stroming their own gurdwara to prevent a MIXED-RACE marriage. These racist white right wing main stream media anti-sikh morons deliberate write in their news articles about mixed-race when the fact of the matter is the protestors are against MIXED-FAITH marriage which is not allowed in the Sikh religion. Mix-race is absolutely fine aslong both partners are Sikhs. http://news.sky.com/story/sword-wielding-gang-storm-sikh-temple-in-leamington-spa-10574252
