Do your homework Rocksalt.

Sikhs are not Muslims. In fact, they are explicitly not like Muslims in their rituals, etc. Visually, though some Sikhs may wear turbans, the turbans are worn in more of a wrap around the head than on top of it. They are not known for terrorism anywhere other than in a specific part of India that they wish to have as an independent state, although there are some indications of fundraising for that effort in other parts of the world, including here in the US.

Generally, they tend to be open to the sprirtuality of all individuals regardless of caste, creed, color, race, sex, religion or nationality. They generally believe that all human life is a blessing, unlike the islamists who only value the lives of other muslims (barely.) Sikhs and muslims are fighting in parts of India/Kashmir.

Yeah I realise the Sikhs are not as much of a threat as Al Queda muslims.But they have known to be associated with violent acts in some capacity.The goverment list them as a dangerous extremist group.But I'm not worried about getting attacked by them locally.Thanks for the insights though.
