I’d rather be around real Sikhs than phony Christians.

Heck, you could walk in the worst neighborhood in South Chicago with a Sikh by your side and come out, not only unharmed, but a neighborhood cleaned up of some criminals.


Imagine if you walked in with a Sikh and a Gurkha!

The median Sikh household income is higher than the median non-Hispanic white household income. Sikhs also tend to be higher educated on average.

Also, you’re coming across a cliched stereotype of a bigoted nativist.

I don’t think he was saying WE need to get over 9/11, he was referring to to the Sikhs who were attacked because some idiot thought they were muslims and as such were responsible for 9/11. (At least that’s how I took it.)

Christians are over 70% of the population of the United States. Sikhs are 0.2%.

Sikhs are good people.

Shame to see their leaders striving to turn them into sniveling "we're victims too!" whinge pots.

We have plenty of those groups already and are no longer accepting applications.

I didn’t know Sikhs were such whiners.

I believe Sikhism is the world’s fifth largest religion.

Worldwide, there are about 25 million Sikhs. About half a million live in the United States.

Indira was assassinated in retaliation for the Golden Temple massacre.

All that Mr. Singh is saying is that he hopes that there won’t be incidents of violent retaliation against anyone, especially incidents where Sikhs are attacked because people think they’re Muslims. Numerous such incidents happened after 9/11. One hopes they do not happen again.

I was an adult then.....quite aware of the circumstances

Folks were appalled her bodyguards betrayed her and their Sikh legacy for martial honesty

Many here believe this canard Sikhs are like long haired peace loving Gurus with traditional garb

Same folks think Buddhists don’t kill

The Sikhs are a peaceful people, but also fierce fighters.

Indira Gandhi authorized Operation Blue Star, which killed thousands of Sikhs, including some of their leaders. She knew that was what would happen; she wanted it to happen.

I don’t care. I don’t give a damn. They can all go to hell. Who needs them? They should go back to the hell hole from whence they came.

That’s probably what the guy who massacred them in Wisconsin must have been thinking too.

Boy...lol..you just keep up the canards with dumbassed Americans who don't know better don't you and justify Sikh atrocities as you go.

what are you..Sikh?

i don't have special vitriol for Sikhs ( I actually prefer them to Hindus frankly) but I think it silly how many dummies here think they are like cool monks since they wear turbans and have long hair and beards

plenty Sikh terrorism too....Air India flight 182...hundreds killed...innocent men women and babies...Khalistan movement ...bunch of sweeties...misunderstood they are...really they are just Maharishis with cute little decorative knives

FWIW, there have been some notable examples of terror perpetrated by Sikhs- mostly in India and Canada, it seems. The scale of their terror, however, pales in comparison to muslim terror.
