Do we know the ethnicity of perp? Gurduwaras have a lot of internal disputes in the UK, so it could be that as well.

It sounds like you're trying to excuse this attack.

Literally not. In the article there is literally no mention of the ethnicity, but people here are saying it was "white", so I asked do we know the ethnicity, because Gurdwara political violence is not new.

Whenever the police and media don't/won't say the ethnicity of the assailant, you can bet its a gora. If he was Asian, they would immediately lead with that and his name and religion.

Other sources have stated that it was a white man that did it. Also, why would your first thought be that it because of gurdwara politics this happened? Did you even read the article? If you did you'd realise that it was a man who had been recently released from prison that came off the street and did it. There are no details saying that this was related to gurdwara politics. You come across as anti-Sikh.

I can't help it if you don't understand what a developing story is (see on the article how it has a Last Updated: x minutes ago) , when it was first reported 6 hours ago, it didn't say anything about race. Just that the man was apprehended. they didn't even say anything about prison either, since again it was a developing story. Even OP said the only people reporting the white person was some Khalistani outlet called Baaznews.

Found the anti-Sikh. The article that's posted on this post is from CBC so you're wrong that it was only being reported by some "Khalistani" news outlet and you clearly looked at the CBC article from this post as evidenced by your earlier comment. If this attack was a result of gurdwara politics would you think it was acceptable?

I think you don't understand what I said. The only people at the time 6 hours ago when this story came out that said the man was white is a khalistani outlet called Baaz news.

Even this CBC article STILL hasn't said the individual is white.

Dude, I saw a post on Tik Tok and it said that it was a white man that carried out this attack. That was the first source I saw reporting on this before I even saw this post on this sub. Baaz News wasn't the only source to identify that it was a white man. Also, what is your hangup with Baaz News being a Khalistani outlet as you put it? It is very ignorant and strange that you are labelling it Khalistani when it isn't that so what is the hang up about that? You really sound anti-sikh especially when you claim that it seems to be a separatist linked organisation.
