11:23Now PlayingDemocracyNow.org - Many members of the Sikh community say the massacre in Oak Ridge has shaken their sense of security. Sikhism is the fifth largest religion in the world with more than 25 million followers, of which roughly 500,000 live in the United States. We're joined from Wisconsin by John Nichols, a political writer for the Nation whose article on Sunday's killing spree is "Shootings at a Temple Test the Founding Faith of America"; and by Rajdeep Singh, Director of Law and Policy at The Sikh Coalition based in Washington, D.C. "Many people aren't aware of this, but Sikhs have been in this country for over a century," Singh says. "Unfortunately and ironically, we're still facing existential challenges in the form of hate crimes and other forms of discrimination."
