I thought Sikhs only carried knives.
I’m sure there’s some MSM already salivating at the opportunity to blame this on some new Timothy, but I wouldn’t rule out the Amish just yet... While some ‘white’ people might have trouble picking these guys out from the bad guys, the bad guys have absolutely no problem going after Indians.

Sikhs are NOT muslims. Their religion emphasizes a personal relationship with God, with no intermediaries (i.e. no Mohammed) . It stresses self-discipline, and unlike Islam is not negative towards non-believers and is not a political system. I find it a lot closer to wester, judeo-christian beliefs than Islam.
I've known and worked closely with several Sikhs in my life, and they were all fine, upstanding human beings. You can read more about it here.
