[HangUpNow]

I challenge you to tell us the difference between a Sikh and an Arabic Muslim based on a scant few seconds of a TV commercial. A proper Sikh would be wearing a headdress but that is not an absolute.

And *I* challenge the BOTH of you on discerning the reality of subliminal and not so subliminal political messaging and psy-op via TV commercials and programming.

The OBVIOUS to most of us:

Heavily bearded men in TV commercials represent NOT Duck Dynasty-types or Indian Sikhs, but instead the not-so-subtle portrayal of MUSLIM MEN as integrated, normative members of American society.
