FULL TITLE: Sikh man pulled off Greyhound bus after being falsely accused of terror bomb threat - before being held for 30 hours by police and photographed without his turban

A Sikh man is demanding authorities bring charges against a woman who falsely accused him of making a bomb threat and led to him being pulled off a Greyhound bus at gunpoint, detained for 30 hours and photographed without his turban.

Daljeet Singh, who is from the Punjab region of India, had been travelling by Greyhound from Phoenix, Arizona, to Indianapolis, Indiana, on February 21, when another passenger reported he was 'acting weird'.

He was legally in the United States after being granted asylum – and as an observant member of the Sikh faith, he has never shorn his hair and wears a turban in public at all times.

I find it strange and alarming that the accuser and both men who aided her have been named in this article.
The Sikh would make life easier for himself if he were to at the very least trim his beard back some. The heavy bush-beard + the Turban + not being able to speak or understand any English made him look suspicious. No, it’s not fair, but with ISIS threatening 3500 New Yorkers online, it is realistic.
Assimilate with American norms, and this is far less likely to occur.

See post #14 where the wise freeper states that only foreigners and meth heads ride Greyhound. I suggest you read it.

"Sikhs are NOT Muslims."

Yes in fact Sinkhs are more likely to be sworn enemies of all things Muslim.

I suggest you learn how to read.

Or have someone else read you the article.

What about the police that did this. I can understand some people are paranoid but the police should know better.

Agree, mostly.

Even if here for asylum, people who come to this country should
1. learn english starting day one if not before legally immigrating
2.know they may be scrutinized more if they choose to follow dressing or customs of their heritage or religion.

We also need to educate ourselves, since so many “refugees” visa workers and such have been flooding in.

Never thought I’d have to learn about all these foreign peoples but, at the moment, it’s in my best interest - for my protection and to not have needless suspicion or concern.

Never confuse a Sikh with a muslime. Besides the fact that the headgear is entirely different, Sikhs are honorable, decent human beings (speaking generally). Read a little bit about their faith and you'll understand.

We all know what muslimes are.

Yes, the Sikh hatred for everything muzlim runs deep.
Observant Sikhs are very concerned about their appearance concerning the turban and hair/beard and their daily dress.

I have encountered quite a few Sikh in my travels in the US and found them to be quite honest, hard working and willing to assimilate as long as their religious beliefs aren’t hindered.

I met one Sikh who was very apologetic that his english was so poor. He got his son to interpret. The apologies lasted about ten minutes.

When the muzzies start acting up and it comes to an out and out street battle with them, I would count myself fortunate to have a Sikh or Gurkha on my side.

Sikh religious offshoot was essentially a warrior faction dedicated to prevent the forcible conversion of people to islam. They should rank at the top of allies in the struggle against it.

Khalistanis - terrorist Sikhs supported by Pakistan.

Their biggest cheerleader was foreign lobbyist and zotted POS, TBP aka Tim Barnes Phares

The first born daughter and son of a Hindu family was given away to start a new anti Islam religion called Sikhism.

In other words, this religion was created to fight Islam.

Those ‘toys in a bathtub’ are dead bodies from Air India Flight 182, floating off the coast of Ireland, victims of Sikh terrorism, the majority being children.
Actually, they're not "dead bodies from Air India Flight 182, floating off the coast of Ireland, victims of Sikh terrorism, the majority being children". The photograph is taken from the work of Diana Thorneycroft, a Winnipeg artist who makes weird scenes from dolls and then photographs them. Her website is here.

Here's another of her works:
