There ARE no Sikhs in Middle East, for practical purposes.

Well... they might stay in India but there are 25 million of them, and I bet they reconsider supporting some of the 'rebels' in neighboring countries. Saudi Arabia is only a boat ride away.

Maybe there are no Sikhs in the ME, but are there Muslims in Punjab ?

There are lots of Muslims in Punjab, which split more or less down the middle at Partition. It was the scene of some of the worst violence between the Muslim and Hindu/Sikh communities which killed up to 1M people. The Sikhs did most of the killing on the “Indian” side.

Sikhs have their own history of extremism, though not aimed at the West. Two of her own Sikh bodyguards gunned down Indira Gandhi, which would be kind of like the Secret Service killing the President.

Though admittedly they had extreme provocation, the rough equivalent of Obama ordering a Waco-style assault on the Salt Lake City Temple, which just might be expected to piss off Mormon Secret Service agents.

I’m sorry, but I have to ask - are you seriously saying that Sikhs are supporting insurrection in Saudi Arabia? Or indeed anywhere else?
