Sure, but in civil society they are good citizens and good neighbors. We have to distinguish between theology, which has its place of course, and society. There are 7 billion people in the world and most of them do not have the same religious beliefs as you.

When the fold from the right goes up to the sky, God is nigh.

When it just winds sideways around the head, the soul is dead.

Leaflets three, let it be...red and black, friend to Jack...never eat yellow snow, etc. ;)

I don’t care about the New World Order. I care about American culture that only comes from a Judeo-Christian view. We can see how America is becoming the same as the other third world countries.

I would far more prefer an honorable devout Sikh president, than the disgrace we currently have.
Sikhs believe in defending their people and others facing violent threat.
They were nearly wiped out by invading Muslims 500 years ago.

Very good folks based from the ones I’ve personally known and gotten to know.

“I like Sikhs.

They fight and hate muslims.”

Amen. And there’s no polls to show it, and few efforts to court their vote, but I’ll bet my scramaseax they were overwhelmingly pro-Trump before this ever happened. No people are perfect but I would welcome any devout Sikh into my foxhole sight unseen. That’s a rare statement to make about any group of people.”

True. I’ve at least one friend that I have that I’ve had to educate on the difference.

I’m puzzled. General Petraeus says we should pray quietly to avoid upsetting Muslims. Is he telling Sikhs to avoid wearing turbans, which apparently upset Muslims, too?

See, this is the problem with multi-culturalism. If you accept everyone into your country and say that their culture is as good and valued as your own, you have to accept their culture.

So if the Muslim culture in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, for example, is to hate and wish to destroy Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians, you have no basis for saying they should change their ways in your country to conform to your norms.

I work with a man who is a Sikh. He’s a great guy and the world would be a better place with more people like him.

Sikhs are what stopped the Muslim invasion of India. Yet, in India they are still ridiculed and persecuted. Their prowess on the battlefield is legendary and some, especially the Blue Turbaned "Nihang" Sikhs still practice swordsmanship and their own martial arts.

I have nothing but respect for them.

FWIW, Sikhs believe in the principles American Constitution, not the New World Order.

Shikha are Patriots and Islam knows no greater enemy.

Beware of the Khalistanis however, they are the pro-islamic element of the Sikh population.
