I feel conflicted on this. Not only are Sikhs not Muslims, but they have been standing up and defending themselves against Muslims in India for centuries.

It's extremely dangerous to exempt or single out ethnic groups based solely on their ethnicity. Prior to 9/11, Sikh terrorist groups were responsible for the worst terrorist attack involving aircraft in history, the bombing of Air India Flight 182 in 1985, which killed 329 people.

All passengers should be examined thoroughly, regardless of who they are or what they're wearing.

True. I don’t think that was typical of Sikh behavior, but those particular perps were certainly far out on the terrorist spectrum.
