The secret service wouldn’t let him go because all of the sikhs must carry a kirpan - a dagger for defense. Sometimes its in the turban.
Is the real reason the fact that as a muslim he can’t wear the headgear of a Sikh? Is that forbidden in Islam? Will he ask that the Sikhs God name or images be covered? Does Islam forbid him from entering a non muzzie place of worship?
