Sikhs are greatly feared by the Islamofascists of the New World Order-- they are ancient enemies. Sikh guards are used by many embassies throughout the world- dependable, loyal and honorable to their retainees.

Paladins are an excellent characterization, inasmuch that the original Paladins were also called the Twelve Peers-- sometimes known as the Twelve Peers, and were the foremost warriors of Charlemagne's court. They first appear in early literature in "The Song of Roland", where they represent Christian martial valor against the Saracen (MUSLIM) hordes. Later exploits of the Paladins, are largely fictional with some historical basis on the Frankish "retainers" (hired Christian knights) of the 8th century.

Events like the battles of the Frankish Empire with Umayyad Al-Andalus, the Caliph of Cordoba (Spain) in the buffer zone created by Charlemagne between France and the then islamic Spain provide a background for the stories of the much feared Paladins. That and "Have Gun Will Travel" Paladin TV series with Richard Boone! But, they are fierce warriors who love peace, through strength.

The radio, by the way is now characterizing the Page character as a "white supremacist"-- which is possible in that he could be yet another dumbass who does not know a Sikh from a muslim turban.

The U.S. would be a far different and a far better place if we had large complement of Sikh citizens

Large numbers of them are setting up shop in Canada. The CBC actually offers NHL Hockey play-by-play in the Sikh language.

I have a couple of Spyderco Jot Singh Khalsa folders. Cool knives, with a cool ad:

Here's his website: Khalsa Kirpans

Keep in mind the "for profit" Southern Poverty Law Center ids the guy as "white supremacist".... which covers a LOT of ground.

This provides, along with ex military... the correct newly defined "domestic terrorist" profile. Never, however Louis Farrahkhan, black or ANY other islamofascist or say, an Army psychiatrist/terrorist who kills fellow servicepeople (workplace violence, NOT alawaki informed domestic terrorist).

Rotting from within, and no clean up of our ranks of islamo terrorists and the people they can get to do their dirty work through "cut-outs" of dumbass white supremacists. One wonders if the FBIers have any concept of this occurring domestically with islamo money backing.

And, it provides more fodder for the anti- 2nd Amendment totalitarians in our "govt." Summer heating up, time for an August race riot in osamabamavilles.

It’s almost too pat. A former military, right winger’s right winger shoots some peaceful, friendly turban wearing Sikhs. Reminds me of some of Bane’s followers in The Dark Knight Rises (”They will be expecting one of you to be in the plane crash.”) Anything for the ‘cause’.

They are good people and unfortunately they get mixed up with muslims all the time.

There is no such thing as Sikh language, you are either talking about Punjabi or Hindi.

I've known many Sikhs. They are historically very feared as warriors and can be deadly with a blade of any kind (generally referred to as a kirpan...though technically a kirpan is a specific kind of blade).
One family I know are blade makers. Very high quality hardware. Look up Khalsa Kirpans.

They also historically have no love for Muslims. If it comes down to a real jihad, I'd rather have the Sikhs on my side.

Religion of peace only if they are the only ones left on the planet!!

That's a laugh and a half.

If they were the only ones left on the planet, they'd start killing each other. Bank on it.

If you mean Punjab from Little Orphan Annie, then yes.

I’ve known, worked with and been friends with Sikhs. They are outstanding people. And to add, the only people I would be less inclined to mess with are the Gurkas.

As a rule, I'm not a big advocate of "open carry,"

Traditionally, the kirpan is concealed within the turban.

The ones I`ve met seem like very nice folks. Good, solid, hardworking people.

They have fought off ROP invasions into Northern India for centuries.

They're good people.

I believe it was about Sikhs that it was first said. “No better friend, no worse enemy”

I don’t think they are prone to fly jets into buildings...
