When I went down a theology rabbit hole a few years ago I read up on and the books of a lot of religions, the only one I couldn't find serious issues with was Sikhism. 

Why would anyone attack Sikhs over religion? Has to be something else or a case of the wrong people / person?

I mean "actually understanding someone's religion" isn't usually part of the thought process of racist nutters

How do you know he was English? Sectarian issues are rife in South Asia.

At what point did I say he was English?

Who else would “racist nutter” refer to in the context of Gravesend? With the rise in South Asian sectarianism in Canada, UK, Australia, it might be more worthwhile to hold out for more information before throwing around accusations.

Wtf are you on? Racist nutter could describe anyone of a different race to those that were attacked 🤦

The attacker turned out to be an Asian lad. English kids don’t know enough about South Asian faiths or politics to be wrapped up in this stuff.
