I like Sikh's, they're good people, very friendly. Too bad most Americans are ignorant about them; they see the beard and turban and assume they are Muslim.

I have a good friend who is a Sikh and he gets that shit all the time. Maybe once or twice a day. That seems like all the time, but I bet he doesn't keep track of all the people who don't say anything to him.
Right after 9/11 I felt uncomfortable around him due to the stares of nearly everyone. A mutual friend of ours begged him to not wear his turban for a while and it was difficult for him. I think he wore a ball cap for a few months.

I can't believe someone who claimed to be a friend would ask a person not to wear something that's so important to them. I'm getting really pissed off with this anti-Muslimism. There are Christian, Jewish an atheist assholes too. And all of them represent a tiny proportion of the population as a whole. Timothy McVeigh -an American Veteran-fucked up a whole load of lives, but there isn't an outpouring of hatred for US Vets or even people from New York..... Hell, yeah, they're harder to spot on the streets. Male muslims aren't even that easy to spot. let's pick on the Sikhs and pretend they're muslims.... is that how it goes?

The friend was concerned for the Sikh's safety, not for his own comfort. IT wasn't me, btw. I didn't weigh in on the issue.

well, I'm Sikh of it.
I'm also Siq of Iraq. And Afghanistan. But I'm not sick of France! Still a nutty place.

Sikhs are natural warriors - you should be scared of them!
The biggest Sikh Temple (Gurdwara) in the UK is about to be completed, funded solely by community donations. It's beautiful. Anyone who confuses Muslims with Sikhs is as likely to confuse paedophiles with paediatricians. Oh wait, the British public |
