The terrorists are the media ... who put terror in to the populous by presenting news in a manner that strikes fear in to people. The terrified are the Muslims (for being called terrorists), the Sikhs (for resembling the Muslims to outsiders) and the ignorant masses (who think they are being invaded) ... This act was not an act of terror - it was a reaction to the terror from the dominant media ...
War is also a form of terror ... this form usually takes place outside the US ... and often involves the US administration in some way or another.
Police believe there would be multiple shooter from inside. Others says there were multiple shooting from different locations. However one is dead and its confirmed.
I think at the end they'll going to say the shooter was among the talibaan or a muslim.
"They" don't just say thing unless there is a reason to say so! In this case there was none so no one except you speculated muslim involvement.

Media played part in pumping out hate against minorities but also the guy who did this is white supremacist he didn't care anyone not white is a target to be killed.
The gun laws in United States are even more crazy it so easy to get a gun there it is stupid beyond belief!
Yeah about those gun laws, they still allow imports of known vest bursters like the FN 5-7 and even the average joe can walk into some malls or cetified dealerships and walk away with ultra powerfull guns...
I am actually a gun nut myself but the difference is most of my weapons are well kept hunting pieces or defence weapons, say a guy buys a typical 30-30 calibre hunting rifle even in a 10 shot lever configuration, most law enforcement officers will know that that type of gun is clearly one for a hunter, most kids wont be able to wield a lever action gun, also 30-30 ammunition is pretty expensive and will take down most game from deers to grizzly bears... but its not an automatic weapon and until recently it did not even come with pointy bullets! Most of the guns actually required domed caps otherwise they would blow up in the users hands.
A gun like the above is fine for keeping, even if a mad man went crazy with it its unlikely he would do much damage unless people just stood there for him, even a fast shooter will have a hell of a time aiming that sort of gun, even though its pretty accurate.
Now compare that to millitary grade automatic or semi automatic weapons, there is absolutely no grounds for having millitary chambered ammunition, for a start most army bullets are actually a lot smaller caliber than hunting rounds but what makes them more dangerous is the reload rate and more crucially the fire rates. Also hunters dont use incendiary or armour piercing rounds but most millitary guns have bullets available for the task.
I cant believe in America the state department allowed 450 million hollow point and armour piercing rounds for civilian use! Theres more bullets out there than people.
Was your question more of "Was he not able to distinguish between a mosque or a gurudwara" or why should he attack a mosque or for that matter any religious place. It is just that this guy is a nutcase and deserves the punishment he got. My only fear is that there are more of these kind. I am not sure if this is one person job .
This kind of hatred needs to be nipped in the bud and strong action taken against those involved.

You're contradicting yourself. Sikhs are "terrified" but not victims of terrorism? The state of being terrorized is a definition of terrorism. Those being blown up by drones are victims of American terrorism, but a white supremacist killing Sikhs is only acting under the influence of an American terrorist media. Bizarre. It's unclear what purpose is being served by denying this was an act of racial and/or ideological terrorism and/or a hate crime. Debating the social causes aside, start by calling a spade a spade.

Peace chaibiskut
I'll explain my stance ... if you please ... If you corner a tiger it will hit you through a perceived threat (it is afraid), but if you are attacked by a person who wants to take your land, wealth, etc under no provocation this is what I view as terror.
This dude (it seems to me reacted from a perceived threat) that the media help build inside him ... The media didn't fuel hatred into him deliberately ... On the other hand IF he was well aware of things and did the masacre regardless thinking he was being a hero - then yes you are right ...
