On Common Ground - Law Enforcement Training Video on Sikhism

To view this SALDEF documentary, click on image

In the aftermath of 9/11 a lot of people were suspecious of anyone wearing a turban. In more than 90% of cases the person in question would be a Sikh. Sikhs originate from north India and are different from Muslims. This video although a training video for law enforcement agencies explains well to a non Sikh what a Sikh stands for. To sum it up the turban and Kirpan which are major articles of suspecion for non-Sikhs were provided to Sikhs by Guru Gobind singh to fight against and defend themselves from such people who did 9/11. So it is the biggest irony if Sikhs are mistaken to be related to perpetrators of 9/11. One other point to be noted for Sikh relegion is that it believes to respect and protect the rights of other free people. Guru Tegh Bahadhur gave martyrdom not to protect Sikhs but rights of a different religion .
