In the US the vast majority of turban-wearers are Sikhs, not muslims. Wearing a turban (under a broad definition of turban) is a religious mandate for Sikhs.

There is no such mandate for muslims. And the wearing of turbans among muslims isn’t even customary among modern peoples. AFAIK the only muslim people who wear turbans customarily are some Shiite clergymen.

What muslims typically wear in the US, if they are devout, is the taquiyah (a cap, often embroidered) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taqiyah_(cap). I have seen this very often. Different muslim cultures have variations on this. This is also, not coincidentally, very similar to the Jewish custom of wearing the kippah. Sometimes the muslim cap can be near-identical with the Jewish one.

Among the national variations, is, for instance the SE Asian Songkok, which looks like a US/European garrison cap, or side cap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songkok

This really is a matter of ignorance.

Don’t care. They brought it on themselves and they will be asking for more.

Despicable statement.

When a people are being attacked by a tribe the people being attacked sometimes have to go tribal themselves to fight back. You are going to moralize yourself into getting humped like a goat and getting a slit throat.

Only morons sing Kumbaya all the way to the killing fields. Are you a moron?

Re: 23 - That poster has a history of such comments. It’s either ignorance, low intellect, or a combination of both.

I have no issues with Sikhs.

I do have issues with ignorant feral urban scum.

“the creep snarled,”

Unusual bit of journalism. Seems like something that might turn up in a 3rd-grader’s writing assignment.
