You might want to read up on the Sikh and their history. Of importance is their relationship with islam, illustrated by these events:

“Protecting the religious and political rights of all people and preventing discrimination is an integral part of the Sikh faith. The 5th Guru Arjan Dev was martyred by the Mughal ruler Jahangir on 16 May 1606 for refusing to convert to Islam. The martyrdom of Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji 9th Guru to protect Hindus from religious persecution, in Delhi, on 11 November 1675 AD, is another example of upholding minority religious freedom; he gave his life to protect the right of Kashmiri Hindus to practice their own religion when they were being forced to convert to Islam by Aurangzeb, the Mughal emperor at the time.”

Things went downhill from there...

The Sikh are formidable allies, and good folks.

Well said. Some very foolish commentary on this thread so far.

Our Founding Fathers and our Constitution insisted upon freedom of religion, and the GOP should follow them.

Good allies and it would seem that lines are being drawn. I would rather have Sikhs on our side than the Muslims who are obviously on theirs.
