They’re NOT Muslims and that’s enough for me.

There is nothing much to fear from them, although a few Christian missionaries in India get in bad with them...

The devil does protect the Muslims, doesn't he? A nut goes after turbans, and misses Muslims...

I would rather be living a neighborhood exclusively made up of sikhs vs. one with 1% ROPers.

They were formed as a response to the Moguhl invasion (ROPers) of India in the 15th century.

They carry a Kirpan which is a ceremonial dagger for self defense and they are very cool people, their wear their turbans OVER their ears.

At the original 9-11 Memorial in Houston a large group of Sikhs were there to show their support.

The only group that hates other religions are Muslims. Religion of peace only if they are the only ones left on the planet!!

We have got to start telling the truth!

My heart and prayers are with the Sikhs!!

The ones I know have been very decent, hard-working people.

They live in daily fear of being mistaken for Muslims, due to their turbans and long beards. It’s because their religion forbids the cutting of their hair. One guy I know has learned to tuck it inside a baseball cap.

As a culture and ethnic group, Sikhs are some of the finest human beings on the face of the planet. Big, truly fierce and loyal, Sikhs have an amazing history. The U.S. would be a far different and a far better place if we had large complement of Sikh citizens.

They’re one of the larger lesser religions of India. They’ve been persecuted by Muslims and Hindus alike. They work hard and mind their own business. Their religion doesn’t call for the domination or elimination of all other religions. There are many morons in the world who fail to be adequately discriminatory and mistake anybody wearing any sort of head cloth with anyone else that wears any sort of head cloth. If they would just discriminate at least as well as they do when selecting their brand of beer, the world would be better off.

Only an idiot, ignoramus would target these people in their house of worship...POS shooter.

Although Gov. Nikki Haley of SC is a Christian, I believe that her extended family is Sikh and that she sometimes attends Sikh services still.

Sikh’s made up about 60% of the British Indian Army, and took tens of thousands of casualties in WWI and WWII.

They also rec’d an even larger percentage of commendations and Victoria Crosses.

The Sikhs I’ve met have all been polite and friendly people. Living near a Sikh community, I run into them often enough. My wife has worked with a number of Sikhs, and she has nothing but good to say about them. Their religion strikes me as a hodgepodge mix, kinda’ New Age, but they seem more down to earth than New Agers. The temple near here is one of the warrior type temples, or so I hear, but none of the guys I’ve met strike me as being the least bit militant.

One of my best friends dated one for a short time.
Her big complaint was he didn’t wash his hair enough.
Killed the deal.
