The young man is a Sikh. Not a Muslim. Bit of a difference there.

And of course, no Muslim would every buy a Sikh outfit so he could keep a nice sharp weapon handy. Imagine a group of "Sikhs" on a bus, all armed with these daggers.

Sikhs are cool, no question. That's not the issue at hand. The issue is whether we have to give in to PC every time it comes up.

If we keep doing it, they will use our PC against us (they are already doing so).

BOOOOOORRRRRING. If you want to worry, it's the terrorists who *aren't* obviously armed who are the threat. If you saw a bunch of people packing knives, you'd be more alert.

What "PC" is being given in to here? The right to keep and bear arms? Freedom of religion? So long as this man is not harming you, what concern is it of yours if he has a knife?

That's just silly. A muslim terrorist is going to go out of his way to look inconspicous, if he's smart. Wearing a Sikh turban is generally not the best way to melt into a crowd.

What type of PC are you talking about? The right to bear arms, or the right to peacefully practice one's religion?

The only issue I was addressing was a correction to a statement made by 'not2worry'.

To anyone who wishes to carry a blade like that on a bus I have no problem telling them....tough luck. Lose the blade.
