Sikh Issues in a Post 9/11 World

9/11 Sikh problem after the world Since 11 November, the community of Muslim Sikhs in the United States has been faced with violence and discrimination against that people. FBI: Hate crimes against Muslims are increasing rapidly. (2012) http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2012/spring/fbi-dramatic-spike-in-hate-crimes-targetin. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, anti-Muslims have increased by 50% in 2010 since the attack on 11th September 2010. We encourage misunderstanding of these types of hatred crimes and prejudice against religion as a whole rather than concentrating themselves on a group of terrorists who caused confusion in the AP communication in a humane way.

Perhaps the biggest challenge since September 11, 11 faced by Sikh communities is a general abbreviation for "head scarf equivalent to terrorist". Since November 9, seek efforts focused on solving the problem caused by this shorthand. In contrast, there is relatively little work to replace this relationship with a positive one. Then, a major fashion company unconsciously put out a scarf on the global stage. This program can only help the public to see the scarf in a new, threat-free view. The Sikh community chooses territorialism and criticism rather than acknowledging these broader interests or establishing educational opportunities.

That was in November 2015. I was in Atlanta, Georgia, with a group of lawyers and lawyers in South Asia decided to discuss my books in the US after 9/11. When I read the slaughter of the 12 people in 2012 at Sikh Khuddwarra in Oak Brook, Wisconsin, I was able to feel my own voice trembling. I soon noticed that some people were crying openly in the room. After the event, dear friends, family, and survivors of immigrants of sexual violence came to me at experienced Aparna Bhattacharyya. "The passage of Oak Creek is really hard to hear," she said. "Have you thought about making a moment of silence so that we can think and breathe together?" I saw her, it was not fully understood. "This is a collective trauma for our South Asian people," she explained. "We need to heal together."

As we approach the 9th and 11th anniversary, I think that James Light's poem "I am praying" every year. This is a series of 1963 lights, branches are not broken, but it somehow fits in the world after 9/11 - and it needs to switch from confusion and loss to the beauty of the world. As you may have noticed, I share the same name as Mychal Judge, except for the letter pointed out by telephone conversation 21 years ago when I was in journalism major at Columbia University. Graduate student Fall 1996 "Why is my name Y?" He laughed at a childish Irish tenor. "Why is it like everyone else?"
