Miramax Movie "DysFunktional Family" promotes hate and prejudice against Sikhs.
On Friday, April 4th, Miramax will release a film titled "Dysfunktional Family" that features comedian Eddie Griffin calling a bearded and turbaned Sikh man, "Bin Ladin." Since the war began in Iraq, the FBI is reporting an increase in backlash and hate crimes against Sikhs, Arabs and Muslims. This film has the potential to incite even more attacks. Please get involved and make your voice heard on this issue:
