DERBY, UK, December 8, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The news that a 16-year-old UK school girl was suspended for wearing a crucifix at a school where Sikh religious articles are permitted has sparked the ire of the Sikh community as well as the Christian community. Sikh Minister Sardarni Sahiba Gurumeet Kaur Khalsa told LifeSiteNews.com "It is the height of wrongful discrimination to disallow Christian students to wear a crucifix, while yet allowing Sikh students to wear a kara (a religious steel bracelet)."

I don't know about elsewhere, but in Indiana the Sikhs have been some of the most gung-ho Republicans that I've ever met!
