Default Sikhs oppose new turban rules

How ironic it is that the Sikhs, a peaceful people who do wear
ceremonial daggers and whose way of life is sooooooo incompaitble with
North america are the ones to be singled out, whilst it's perfectly
acceptable for other Americans to walk around wearing equally
unacceptable headgear and carrying handguns with the intention to use
and kill as opposed to symbolise a faith....




In Canada at least, walking in public places with a weapon is prohibited
by law. Sihks went to supreme court to get an exception to this.

In Canada, the long standard and well known standard uniform for the
mounted police (one of our national emblems) had to be changed because
one sihk immigrant insisted he be allowed to apply for such job, and
went to the supreme court to have the uniform ruled unconstitutional
because it discriminated against a religion that mandates only a certain
type of hat can be worn and never removed.

When an immigrant forces your country to change its long standing
traditions and emblems, you don't have much respect for that type of
religion that shows it it unwilling to adapt to a place the person is
moving to and forcing a whole country to adapt to their own little needs.



If the Supreme Court states they should be permitted to wear their
standard headwear, the obviously this is according to the laws of
Canada. Are you complaining that they are anti-Canadian because they
went to the Supreme Court?
