Sikhs don't carry scimitars. They bear a small knife as a symbol of baptism - can't remember the name of it.

Right they are called kirpans. there were some cases i remember in canada and michigan where middle eastern immigrants insisted on the right to carry these weapons because they were religious symbols.
