by Anura Idupuganti Sunday, Sep. 23, 2001 at 1:53 PM

These attacks have targeted Indians, Persians, Arabs, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and Christians alike. Keep in mind that these are only the reported cases of violence, hatred, and discrimination. Compiled by Anura Idupuganti. First published on NY IMC.

CRIMES & EVENTS:

1) In Mesa, Arizona, Balbir Singh Sodhi, 49, an Indian gas station owner was shot. The assailant then drove to another service station where a Lebanese-American employee was working; he fired shots but injured no one else. (CNN: 9/14)

2) In Richmond Hill, Queens, an elderly Sikh man was beaten with a baseball bat; two others were shot at with paintball guns. (NY Times)

3) In Gary, Indiana, a man in a ski mask fired more than 21 shots from a high-powered assault rifle at Hassan Awdah, a U.S. citizen born in Yemen, who stood behind a 1-inch-thick shield at 3 am on Wednesday. Awdah fled as the gunman tried to shoot him again. (Reuters/Chicago & MSNBC.com)

4) On Friday, a turban-wearing taxi driver was attacked by a man who accused him of being a terrorist. He was of Indian descent. (Seattle Times/Detroit Free Press)

5) A car rammed into an Akron, OH Arab-owned grocery store by Jack Oueslati. (News Net 5: 9/16)

6) In Huntington, N.Y., a 75-year-old man tried to run over a Pakistani woman in a shopping mall parking lot. The police said he screamed that he was "doing this for my country." The man then followed the woman into a store and threatened to kill her for "destroying my country." (Seattle Times/Detroit Free Press & New York Times: 9/14)

7) Khaled Ksaibati, the faculty adviser for the Muslim Student Association at the University of Wyoming described an attack on the Muslim family at a Laramie Wal-Mart. "The people who screamed in her face wanted her to go back to her country," he said. "This is her country. She was born here." (Seattle Times/Detroit Free Press)

8) On Thursday night, a group of demonstrators gathered outside of the Madina Masjid on First Avenue and 11th Street in Manhattan. The mob yelled angrily and carried a banner saying "Destroy the mosque or remove it from this place." Neighbors shouted the crowd down as the police held them back. (News Net 5:9/16)

9) On Wednesday, a well-dressed young Manhattan couple yelled insults at a Lebanese-American who was desperately searching for survivors from the arts center he had run on the 92nd floor of the World Trade Center's north tower. "They told me, 'You should go back to your country, you f--king Arabs, we should bomb the s--t out of you," said the man, Moukhtar Kocache. (Seattle Times)

10) Yasser Ahmed, manager of an Arab-owned candy and grocery store on Broadway in Upper Manhattan, said about 10 people had come in shouting, "You guys did it!" and other accusations. (NY Times)

11) One student, Basel Al-ken, whose family is from Syria, was taking his mother to Wal-Mart one night this week. A man in a parked car turned a laser-pointer in her face and made a throat-slitting motion with his hand. (NY Times)

12) Four men chased Amrik Singh, a Sikh who wears a turban, on Tuesday as he fled lower Manhattan to return home to Hicksville. He jumped on a train to Brooklyn and took off his turban and stuffed it into his briefcase. (NY News Day)

13) The local Sikh Temple in Richmond Hill was vandalized and received threatening phone calls. (Masala.com)

A bunch of morons

by AK-47 Sunday, Sep. 23, 2001 at 11:32 PM

I always knew that several Americans have a brain problem, they react like 5 year old morons by unleashing their frustrations caused by the capitalist system onto innocent victims that have nothing to do with all of this. By the ways they should start thinking that the CIA was behind the S11 attacks in NY and DC in order to justify America's grasp on the natural ressources in Afghanistan and the immediate region there. This is the reality, the power hungry fools in DC starting with Bush are able to do anything to get to their goals includind killing innocent US civilians. Hey people wake up DC is screwing us big time once again ! Instead of attacking innocent civilians these morons should plan instead to "overthrough" the fascist dictatorship led by the Bushs and other members of the strongest secret society in the States "The Order of Skull and Bones" that lead and have led America for the past 150 years politically and economicaly. These people are extremely dangerous and most be thrown out of public office as well as the CIA and other government agencies.

Dickhead!

and most importantly, in NYC on September 11, 6,300 innocent Americans were attacked for no reason other than they were Americans.
