Sikh Temple Defaced by Graffiti Vandals
From Times Wire Reports
A Sikh temple was defaced with graffiti attacking its members with racial slurs and obscenities, officials said.
The Gurdwara Sahib temple in Fresno was targeted by vandals over the weekend. Last year, vandals attacked the temple five nights in a row with paint and firecrackers that ultimately set fire to the rear of the building.
The Fresno area is home to about 30,000 Sikhs, according to Harjinder Dhillon, president of the Sikh Assn. of Fresno.
