Sikhs oppose new turban rules

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? |
