“I saw this story on daily Kos. It show how ignorant some of our fellow Americans are, not understanding that Sikh folks are not Muslim, simply assuming it because of headgear. Ignorance can be dangerous, as the murders in Milwaukee showed some time ago, so spreading information about Sikhs and the wonderful culture may have some survival value.
