Hours after an attack that appears to be a hate crime this leader comes out and says "we wear turbans while Muslims do not". I think someone is being just a little bit naive.... Pray tell, WHAT would be his motivation to explain how to tell the difference between a Muslim and a Sikh HOURS AFTER THIS SICKENING CRIME?
But actually, on reading more, it would seem that this guy in New Jersey is a minority. From this article here:

So in the aftermath of the Wisconsin shootings, surrealism reigned on the news channels. Anchors were educating the average American about Sikhism and Islam and patiently explaining the differences. But should the distinction matter? I can be any faith, wear a turban or not, wear a hijab or not, wear a kara or not, but I shouldn’t be killed for wearing my religion on my sleeve. To the enormous credit of Sikh community leaders and spokesmen, after every incident of violence, they haven’t emphasised the differences between their beards and the others’ but pleaded for tolerance for all.
