Sikhs are renown for their charity. There are Sikh temples in India that have been serving free meals to anyone who walks in, no questions asked, and haven’t missed a day for centuries.
Non-Christian religions that want peace and cooperation always do find a home in this country.
Only one glaring major exception.....
Sikhs are good people. The community in Mary’s like has been there a long time. Top knotch
I used to know a Sikh guy who was intelligent and from a first generation family. He had an American girl friend for years and all of a sudden his family persuaded him to marry some woman from India that he’d never met. He ended up a good son and a lousy husband (as he still has the same girl-friend).
I hope his wife doesn’t read FR.
I believe that the Sikhs were the group of Indians to push out the IslamoFascists from India.

They are great people. Like a good beer too. Lol
I know a Sikh who owns a local convenience store.
Real nice guy, has a nice wife who runs the counter and register.
The only odd thing is that this guy literally has a cellphone glued to the side of his head, talking constantly. I have never seen him without a phone up to his ear.
Paradoxically, while Sikhs have a ‘militant’ religion, and one of their highest callings is belonging to their host countries military, where they serve with distinction, like many military types, they tend to pacifism if at all possible.
Their origins in India are from the warrior caste.
Their turban serves a dual purpose of being emergency field bandages, which they will use to save the lives of anyone (as recently illustrated by a young Sikh man in NZ).
And while they are required by their religion to carry a dagger, most Sikhs today carry a key chain sized dagger in a sheath that has no blade, or just a dull inch long one.
Their religion actually has an interesting array of weapons,

however, they are not adverse at all to modern weapons, nor to the illusion that “one on one combat” is superior to artillery or air support.
So when I get to know Sikhs who are US citizens, I like to suggest to them that it is indeed America, and that legal gun ownership and carry are an important part of their civil rights which they need to exercise without reservation.
Well done
