The shooting of the Sikh's,was meant to look like domestic terrorist attack by a racist that thought he was attacking muslims.
In the days and weeks following the 911 WTC attacks,some New Yorkers attacked Sikh's believing they were musil's.The Sikh's do wear a turban like head dress but are def not muslim.An uneducated person off the streets may not know the deference between the two cultures.But,a former agent def would.
I guess a real attack on actual muslim's would be out of the question.
After all the US military are now allies with the muslim Al-quada in Libya/Egypt/Syria,and BHO wouldn't want to rock that boat!
