If that doesn't sound like a typical road rage incident I don't know what is. I guarantee you a large percentage of the population has directed some kind of cuss word, slur or anything else at another driver.
Newspapers of all sorts will try to make a story out of anything. And who at this time doesn't love a good race story?
You really think people are out searching for people who "look like Bin Laden" and yet attack a Sikh? Sounds like some idiot lost his cool and the media spun it as usual.

I'll admit to never being a victim of road rage so I'm not uniquely qualified to speak on the subject. I have however flipped the bird and had it flipped at me while driving. I have also muttered things like "stupid fuck, what where you're going" or, sometimes, the very sexist, "fucking women drivers".
I can only guess that someone battering the fuck out of another driver while screaming things like terrorist and bin laden has more than just road rage on his mind.
I am not blinded by media hype and I'd call a Sikh battering a white person while screaming "whitey" a racist fuck too.
