Reply to comment by GrannyTurtle in Man Convicted of killing Texas agency's 1st Sikh deputy by Liquid_heat

I read that after 9/11, after Sikhs were often the victims of hate crimes targeted at Muslims, they decided as a group to stand in solidarity with Muslims and not correct people if they were mistaken as them because that meant it was okay to attack Muslims but not Sikhs.

Exactly! Sikhs see their duty as protecting others, so they would “turn the other cheek” when misidentified.
