#1 And unlike the you-know-whos, the Sikhs are not slaughtering each other, burning down buildings and blowing up bombs over the disagreement.

#2 Sikh turbans are distinctive, you can't mistake them for other styles. It's worth our while to learn the difference, so as not to confuse Sikhs and Moslems. I knew lots of Sikhs in Australia, including our next door neighbours. All excellent people.

#3 While I vehemently support the right for Sikhs to wear turbans (with certain military exceptions), it might also be a good thing if the practice were abandoned. They would be doing the world a huge favor in simplifying the ease with which Muslim extremists could be identified. While not all Muslim extremists wear turbans, sufficient numbers of them do to where this would be a useful indicator.

Again, Sikhs are under no obligation whatsoever to assist the War on Terrorism by doing this, but the task will be a lot more simple once the Muslims begin standing out like a sore thumb.
