September 11th, 2001 shook the very core of American society. But for one religious faction, the terror attacks spawned a violent retaliation, unlike anything they had ever known.
This week on San Diego People, KUSI's Kimberly Hunt takes a look at the impact of 9/11 on the Sikh Community. A monotheistic faith begun in the 15th century. Its members preach a message of peace. But because of misdirected anger following 9/11, Sikhs have become the targets of violence.
The hate crimes prompted a young Sikh American to begin documenting the cases throughout the country, including a brutal attack in San Diego.
She turned those stories into a documentary called, 'Divided We Fall'. [Link]

A reporter examining "the impact of 9/11 on the Sikh Community" is like asking Nazi Germany how they were affected by the Holocaust.
