Because of the surge of anti-muslim sentiment brought on by terrorist activity, personal attacks on Muslims have increased.
Unfortunately, violence against Sikhs have also increased because they are addicted to their turbans and will not take them off. People see that turban as a symbol of Mideast terrorism and Islam.
So the Sikhs have spent millions of dollars on television ads here to promote the fact that they are not Muslim radicals, but are honest loyal hard-working American immigrants.
And by and large this is my own personal experience as well. I have dealt with the Sikhs in and known the people, since we did the engineering for the local Sikh temple.
But now I'm wondering if they are promoting this as a national campaign, or if they're just spending a lot of money here locally, because we have one of the largest Sikh populations in the nation.
An important piece of ancient wisdom says, "when in Rome do as the Romans do." The Sikhs need to take off their turbans, put on a goddamn baseball cap, and appear to be Americans for their own good.
Yes this is an infringement on their religious liberty, should they be forced to do such a thing, but it would be a sign of their true commitment to peace Brotherhood and the American way if they would make this sacrifice.
