I faked racial attack story, says Sikh boy LONDON: A 15-year-old Sikh schoolboy, who had alleged that his hair were chopped off by a gang of four near his home in Edinburgh, has told the police that he concocted the story about racist attack as he was experiencing certain personal problems. It has now emerged that the Sikh boy cut off his hair, punched himself in the face and concocted the story, the Observer weekly reported. It is understood that the boy was experiencing personal problems, the report said. The Scottish police have confirmed that the reported attack had not taken place and said the boy had expressed deep regret for the consequences of what he had done. It is understood that no further action would be taken and the teenager would not be reported for wasting police time. The boy's allegation had attracted attention and condemnation from Sikh leaders from several countries. It also prompted an inter-faith vigil to promote peace, respect and tolerance. At the time of the reported attack, the boy, in tears, gave a graphic description of a vicious verbal and physical attack by four white males who struck as he walked near his home in Edinburgh, the paper said. The teenager claimed he was punched and kicked, had his head-cover torn off and his hair chopped off with a knife. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...ck_story_says_Sikh_boy/articleshow/916038.cms
You know i don't care what religious background you are that feels the need to claim or point out <x> many people as 'bad eggs'. You take the religion out of this story. And there is essentially NO story. Religion defines hate, war, seperation & conflict even when nothing exists. Regardless.
