I've never listened to the show but I just want to point out that not all Sikhs are peaceful. Just yesterday, there was this development in a Canadian courtroom.

Sikh jailed for Air India bombing



A Sikh man has received a five-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to the bombing of an Air India jet in 1985, which killed all the passengers on board.

Inderjit Singh Reyat - who has British and Canadian citizenship - was charged by a Canadian court with 329 counts of manslaughter - one for each of the people who died in the blast.

Two other men also stand accused in connection with the bombing.

The sentencing came as a surprise, although prosecution lawyers say they now concede that Reyat's role in the bombing was relatively small.



Gee, 5 whole years for killing 329 people. That workes out to a little over 5.5 days in jail for each death. Oh, but wait! The article continues:

Reyat has already served 10 years in prison in the United Kingdom for his part in an explosion at Tokyo's Narita Airport which took place an hour before the Air India plane blew up, killing two baggage handlers.



Noting this sentence, Chief Justice Donald Brenner accepted prosecutor Robert Wright's recommendation that he serve a five-year sentence.

With the time he has served while waiting for trial, he will eventually serve almost 25 years in prison.



So, we're talking about 25 years for 331 deaths. That's much better. [/sarcasm]
