A Sikh man was beaten in a roadside attack on Tuesday night in suburban Chicago by an assailant who called him a “terrorist,” television WMAQ reported. Police in Darien, Illinois were treating the incident, which came just days before the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, as a hate crime, according to the station.

According to WMAQ, Inderjit Singh Mukker, a longtime American citizen and father of two, was driving to the grocery store when a fellow driver began lobbing insults at him and repeatedly cutting him off. The station reported that Mukker said he pulled over to let the man pass, but the other driver stopped his car, walked over to Mukker’s vehicle, and started beating him through the open window. According to the station, Mukker said that during the assault, the man berated him with racial slurs, including, “Go back to your country, Bin Laden!”

Mukker was hospitalized with a fractured cheek, a laceration that required six stitches, black eyes, and dark bruises across his body, according to the Sikh Coalition, which was representing his case. WMAQ reported the alleged assailant was in police custody.

In a statement given to the Sikh Coalition, Mukker said, “No American should be afraid to practice their faith in our country. I’m thankful for the swift response of authorities to apprehend the individual, but without this being fully investigated as a hate crime, we risk ignoring the horrific pattern of intolerance, abuse and violence that Sikhs and other minority communities in this country continue to face.”

  1. At least we know the subhuman fuck who did this will most definitely be having a grand old time with the Muslim converts when he arrives in prison. Oh, to be a fly on the wall when he has his first heart to heart with Muhammed f/k/a Jamichael…

  2. Or “Bubba Singh” …his cell mate.
    Mr subhuman doesn’t realize that Sikhs are the warrior caste in India.
    Edit:
    I’m glad the perp was caught …and his ass tossed in jail (I hope).

    Take this to the logical conclusion and this makes young white males fair game because a few of them conduct mass shootings. Stupidity and psychopathologies - sick of them. Time for a massive evolutionary change.

  4. This reminds me of the time when white students rioted on my college campus in 1979 after the Iranians took Americans hostages at their embassy.

    There was a good engineering school on campus that drew a lot of students from the Middle East – Libya, Egypt, Iran, etc.

    One day, after marinating in the relentless sensationalist daily coverage of the hostage crisis, a small group of students attacked a student they perceived as Muslim. The riot spread to dozens of students who rampaged and wound up shutting down the entire campus for a day.

    During the rampage, a classmate of mine – a Jewish American citizen with dark curly hair and a swarthy complexion – got cornered in the cafeteria by the mob. He jumped up on a table, but they grabbed him, dragged him off, and beat him senseless before campus security was able to pull them away.
