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.
I have met a few Sikhs, and they were all decent, hardworking people.
They are also well aware of the dangers posed by muslims.
Sikhs also have a very prominent warrior culture tradition. Its actually kind of cool to learn about
Their tradition of carrying knives comes from needing to use them on muslim invaders. Pretty based.
Defend free expression...
It's almost like the 2nd Amendment defends the 1st
In America, some will carry a pocket knife or wear knife shaped jewelry to carry on that tradition.
You know I've seen a lot of tiny knives on necklaces at jewelry stores. It never occurred to me it could have religious significance.
