But....what you said translates EXACTLY to this:
If Sikh temple....then trouble.
If you don't see what's wrong with that then I don't know what to tell you...
You've attributed trouble to all Sikh temples....If that's too general, then you've attributed trouble to all Sikh temples in the lower mainland...
If you understood the pillars of my religion you would realize that conflict, hatred and community trouble is what we strive to work against. A religion that preaches accepting and respecting all other cultures and religions, a religion that has established temples with open kitchens for everyone to be able to dine in at any time, no matter what their race, beliefs or creed. Having someone make the notion that Sikh temples are affiliated with trouble would bother any person of that religion. But you're right, I've overreacted and have tainted my religious community with my tantrum.
Set an example by not reacting to someone making comments as ignorant as that? No, I'll set an example by educating you and helping you realize that either you've written something that you didn't mean, or that your reality is misconstrued and I invite you to attend some functions at the Sikh temples that I have visited and see what kind of trouble you see...
