A couple of years ago, I had the privilege of advising the Sikh American Legal Defense Fund (SALDEF) on a strategy for countering hate crime.  Sikhs, as many people now known, have been targeted for such crimes.  What many people still do not know is that Sikhs have been targeted by some Americans who mistakenly believe that are Muslim.  There are, therefore, at least two problems that need to be addressed:  the hatred and violence itself — inexcusable if committed against any group —  and ignorance about Sikhs in general.  Fact is, many communities in the US do not know each other, and could benefit by mixing — meeting, talking, sharing a meal — better.
