Tons.

If you see someone wearing a turban, they're more likely to be a Sikh than a Muslim. Sikhs are supposed to wear the turban all the time; one of five things they're supposed to have at all times. The sword is another.


It's kind of sad, I always see conservatives quick to hate on Sikhs because they see the turban and full beard and start foaming at the mouth. But really it should be the opposite. That sword, for example, is pretty much a religious 2nd amendment. Back in the day, every Sikh wore a full size sword (was changed to a knife later) for two reasons: as a religious reminder to do justice, and to prevent crime and persecution by having an armed populace. Then there's the whole warrior saint thing, their history of fighting alongside Western forces all over the world...


It's really a fantastic culture and religion, and of all the people we should want to immigrate to the US, IMHO Sikhs should be at the top of the list.

Interestingly, whenever I see a woman wearing an Islamic veil the men and boys in her group are always in normal American clothes. I would guess that there is little if any specific dress proscribed for Muslim men, so the chances are that a man in foreign garb is probably not a Muslim.
