These acts strike the very foundation of religious tolerance, a fundamental freedom this country was built upon," said SALDEF executive director Jasjit Singh.
"We call upon local and federal law enforcement agencies to rightfully classify this incident as a hate crime and bring the perpetrators to justice to show that hate and violence are not tolerated in our society," Singh said.
The Greater Los Angeles Area office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA) today expressed solidarity with the Sikh community following the incident.
"We stand in solidarity with the Sikh community and against the actions of a tiny minority of bigots who violate our nation's longstanding principles of religious tolerance and inclusion," said CAIR-LA executive director Hussam Ayloush.
The North American Punjabi Association (NAPA) in a statement expressed its concern about the increasing number of attacks on Sikhs and vandalism of Sikh Gurdwara.
"Vandalism on Riverside Gurdwara should be properly investigated by police and sheriff's departments, as well as the FBI and U.S. Justice Department to investigate the incident as a hate crime," said NAPA spokesman Satnam Singh Chahal.
