US prejudice: 9/11 fears put Sikhs on scare list with Muslims

Sikh people have been targets of intolerance, especially after 9/11 when the anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States was growing. According to a recent poll, 40% of Americans admitted to have a prejudice against Muslims. Oftentimes because of Sikhs' turbans, they get mistaken for Muslims and end up becoming targets for hate crimes, work place discrimination, and racial profiling at airports. Today, because of their turbans, Sikhs still can't enlist in the U.S. army and in some states they can't teach in public schools.

You BigBoss talking crap. Sikhs want to kill fucking evil Islaam. Nothing in common. There was a purpose, reason and logic to create sikhs by our Guru Gobind in 1699. Hindoos were cowards and docile. Guru Gobind being a man of honour, philosophy, mankind and guile; devised this attire to counteract this evil religion called Islaam. He infused the self belief into local hindoos and sikhs (shikhshak) to destroy Islaam. Guru Gobind was a Rai!

Do not twist the facts.
