Sikhs are not Muslim terrorists, STOP killing them

We are in no way advocating killing Muslims — but we do want to point out the key differences between Sikhs and Muslims. Not all Muslims are terrorists. Most Muslims are like normal people: they want to earn money, care for their children, and live a peaceful life. Many of them are embarrassed by the acts of terrorism and want them gone from the world.

Sikhs are often misunderstood as Muslims because of the beard and the headgear. After September 11, they have been shot and killed because the haters didn't know the difference between Sikhs and Muslims.

Read this article about the Sikhs killed in hate crimes that perpetrated after September 11 in the country.

The latest shootings against Sikhs show how much of the general population of America is ignorant about the differences between Sikhs and Muslims.

Sikhs are neither Hindus nor Muslims. They have their own distinct beliefs and practices.

There are many differences between Sikhs and Muslims — culturally, socially, and religiously — but they get confused as Muslims because of the headgear.

Again, that does not mean innocent Muslims should be killed.

Sikh men usually wear turbans — mainly to cover their long, uncut hair. Muslim men wear many types of headgear, and most do not have long hair.

Look at the pictures, and know the difference.
