Exactly! Sikhs see their duty as protecting others, so they would “turn the other cheek” when misidentified.

Don’t put words in my mouth. It is the bigoted louts who make this mistake because THEY think Arabs are bad guys.

I have worked with Muslims from two continents and have nothing but respect and affection for them. (Not to mention the heavenly baklava he would bring back after his annual visit to his parents’ country!)

I also have known Sikhs and many people from other religions in my 6+ decades. I find them all fascinating. It saddens me that many people are so ignorant that they mistake vastly different cultures for each other.

This is so sad. Sikhs are generally peaceful people but they get mistaken for Muslim Arabs because people can’t tell the difference between their headgear. It’s like mistaking a fedora for a cowboy hat.
