Date Posted:	Thursday, 4/29/2004 6:22 PM MDT

Im am 18 year old sikh and have been subjected to racial and physical abuse by a gang, the gang consists of white people of the age of 18-20 years old. This gang have violently attacked me a number of times due to the religion I follow and the colour of my skin, further more other people practicing religions such as islam and hinduism have been attacked by the same group. The gang has a number of about 55 members and are heavily armed with swords, knifes and bats. I have conscripted the help of fellow sikhs and also the addition of hindus and Muslims totaling in the number of about 70 in raged people.The question that i ask you is as a sikh should protect my fellow people /religions and commence a full scale war against these racist thugs as i have exhausted other resources such as the police and reasoning. if this matter is not sorted innocent people could suffer as a result of this gang, i believe i can not let this injustice carry on.

p.s could you respond quickly as the decision of this action will be out of my control in a few days.

I'm sorry you are in such a dangerous situation. No, you should not take things into your own hands. You will just end up injured, in jail or dead.
Seek professional help. Go to the police and other authorities. Maybe the media need to be involved to bring attention to the situation. But DO NO try to solve the situation with force yourself. Some one is going to get killed. Keep your cool, be tolerant, and patient. Direct your rage and passion to think up creative solutions. Keep us posted. Blessings. GTTK
