In so far as I know, most Muslims abandon the turban as soon as they arrive here. Sikhs wear it as a religious devotion, along with the kirpan and iron bracelet. I can’t imagine a young man (IIRC, this kid was 17) not having been trained to use such a thing, and taking scissors away from an attacker seems to me sufficient proof of self-defense. So would using a pencil to stab him after he forcibly removed the turban.

I know there are people who have feces for brains here in the US who can’t tell the difference between a Muslim and a Sikh. That doesn’t mean he’s not allowed to defend himself.

wrong. Attacker was 17, victim was 15... Otherwise, I still wonder about all this.

Muslims are bareheaded or wear a Kufi, sort of an over sized Kippa.
Generally not turbans, exceept in particcular /national ethnic circumstances.
