I could see that. After reading it again it could be taken as “Sikhs are peaceful, unlike Arab Muslims”. I didn’t see it that way but I can see how it could come off that way, especially to Muslims.

He didn’t say that at all. He means if there is someone out there that wants to do harm to Muslims Sikhs can often end up targets because the perpetrator doesn’t know the difference.

That doesn’t mean he condones violence against Muslims or makes any judgment about Muslims as a group.

Edit: I didn’t take it as a jab at Muslims but after reading it again I could see how it could be interpreted that way.
