SALDEF
Or when it comes out that they were not hate crimes and some even were manufactured by those groups to advance their agenda.

i guess it doesnt help their community when networks show scenes of sikhs when speaking of terrorists/al-qaeda etc Monitoring the Media for You « SALDEF
a popular talking point by bigots like pamela geller eve though she's been consistently proven wrong her and others like to continue to use it

When Canadian Islamists feel the need to condemn the murder of women in their community, our response should not be, "aren't you wonderfully progressive!," it should be: "What the hell is wrong with a culture that needs to say that in the first place?"
