So one of the guys in my battalion is a praciticing Sikh, well not too long ago, we started working out together. And we started hanging out a lot. And our battalion because they had us on lockdown so we couldn't take block leave in the summer. We got to make up for it recently.

Well, before i left to go home, I posted a photo of one of my gym workouts with my buddy.

Well my one cousin is a complete baby freshman at a four year university and is basically drinking the kool aid, and she knows I voted Trump, and starts bitching at me as to how I can have a muslim friend and still vote Trump.

Well my buddy goes 'I'm not a muslim I'm a Sikh.' Well....she then pisses him off because she apparently thinks that Sikh is another word for Sunni Islam. And then proceeds to lecture him on not lying about who he is.

He basically reiterates he is not a muslim and her response is 'then why do you wear a turban?'

Well.....my friends, Sikh's are some of the nicest people I ever met, but daaaammmn, he started tearing her a new asshole.

All the Sikhs I knew when I lived in Jersey were pretty based, and for all their soft-spokenness and reserve, I would not have wanted to fuck with any one of them!

Yep, its funny because when I was in college, we visited a Sikh temple one time and the professor teaching the course wasn't based. So to hear all the Sikhs talk was a bit triggering to her. It was funny

She kept referring to them as a muslim, and assumed he was one because of his turban, even after he corrected her

They are also egalitarian with regard to women:

  • There are no positions in Sikhism for men only.
  • Any woman can enter a Gurdwara (Sikh temple), no area is exempt.
  • Women can serve as granthi (ceremonial reader of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book in Sikhism).
  • Women and girls have full rights to any hereditary claim (unlike in Islam, where they can only inherit half of what a man inherits).
  • Education for both women and men is very important in Sikhism.
  • The same simple dress codes apply to both women and men (Guru Granth Sahib, p.16).

Woman are specifically told not to hide themselves: “It is not proper for a Sikh woman to wear a veil or keep her face hidden by veil or cover.” (Sikh Code of Conduct, Article XVI)

These were all extraordinary values to emerge in the 15th century in what is present-day Pakistan.
