    These aren’t saints, they are an ethonationalist group that planted a bomb on Air India Flight 182, and another one was planned for Flight 103 but blew up prematurely.

      Ah yes. Characterizing an entire population by the acts of the most extreme. Always accurate.

      “Canadians aren’t saints. They’re a conquesting and genocidal people who wiped out an entire population of natives and continue to marginalize those who are left.” And going by your argument, this means we shouldn’t feel too bad if any of them get assassinated?

        He’s not talking about an entire population, khalistan supporters are a minority in the Sikh community and have almost no support among the Sikhs actually living in India. These people were literally calling for the murders of Indian diplomats within Canada just a few months ago. Just like isis isn’t a fair representation of all muslims, khalistanis are not a fair representation of all Sikhs.
