Know Your Headgear

A 68-year-old Sikh man was purposely hit by a truck then beaten by two men.  A physician and assistant professor of international affairs at Columbia University was beaten by at least a dozen teens and young men.   Each year since 9/11, violence against peace-loving Sikhs has increased.

And the reason may very well boil down to beards and headgear, which are part of a devout Sikh man’s appearance.

Many people see the turban on a Sikh man and think he’s Muslim, then jump to the conclusion that all Muslims are responsible for 9/11 and the current terrorism.  It’s a double error.

To dispel at least part of this egregious situation, I invite you to learn about the different headgear worn by Sikhs, Muslim religious elders, Afghan Muslims, Iranian Mullahs, Arab Muslim Kaffiyeh, and dessert people and Muslim terrorists.

Take a look.  Then spread the word.
