From what I see they look like GOOD people:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikh
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.
Except for the American Hindus and Muslims.
Here's his website: Khalsa Kirpans
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.

Beards?
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.
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.
This may look like a Bubba moment, but remember who's painting the picture!!!!!!
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.

They already do!
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.
Traditionally, the kirpan is concealed within the turban.
The ones I`ve met seem like very nice folks. Good, solid, hardworking people.
They're good people.
Handy little tradition they got there ;o)
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...
