Non Sequitur cartoon insulted Sikhs

I am appalled that the comic strip Non Sequitur could come up with the completely inaccurate statement as published in The Bee on Jan. 29. To equate terrorists with men wearing turbans is an insult to the peaceful Sikhs.

When was the last time anyone saw a picture of a terrorist wearing a turban? This statement does nothing but encourage racism. I wish I had words that adequately express the horror I experienced after reading that this morning. The only positive that could come from this is that Non Sequitur has such a small number of readers.
