Shortly after the horrific events of 9/11, someone shot and killed a Sikh, assuming that since he wore a turban, he must be connected in some way to the terrorists who demolished the twin towers.
And so I fear there may be some who judge Islam by the acts of Muslim terrorists in Paris and elsewhere, who follow their twisted, perverted version of that religion.
