Accoring to a press release, "The World Sikh Council - America Region (WSC-AR), on behalf of the US Sikh community, strongly condemns the recent heinous bombings in London. We are shocked and grieved at this human tragedy. We pray for the persons who died and those wounded in the bombings. We honor and salute the brave rescue personnel who put their own lives at risk to save the survivors.

"Traditionally Sikh men wear a turban and sport a beard as an article of their faith. Because Osama Bin Laden wears a turban and has a beard, some people may associate him with the Sikh community. Any association between Sikhs and Osama Bin Laden or his associates is completely incorrect, and against Britain's commitment of freedom and justice for all."
