Taliban is in the news everywhere

[californiasardar1]

Now that villains with long beards and turbans are once again dominating the American news cycle, I think singhs who are living in America need to be on guard.

The backlash is coming. Stay safe brothers.

Do you honestly think that Americans can even tell the differences between the different styles? Or care about the differences?

What a joke.

 

Most "Sikhs" these days can't even tell the difference between different pagh styles.

Raise awareness via internet. YouTube is doing a great job. They had a video called what is Sikhi and the responses were positive. Many Americans didn’t even know about it.

Not necessarily. Bin Laden was linked to the 9-11 events, but nothing from Taliban has directly affected West at this time

you may be surprised but in UK the regular people can tell the difference now , just need to propagate our image , rescreen previously made shows etc . Of course Aholes will not care but that would be true anywhere

Not really a thing to worry about. I am glad that other countries are out of that helpless country.

Oh give me a break

 

I can just imagine it now: some hick sees a Singh and feels like saying something foul. Then he thinks to himself, "Wait a second, that turban might not be a taliban turban ... it shows a bit less forehead and covers the ears ... also, it's not black or white, it's saffron ... maybe he's Sikh! No, actually, I read on sikhsangat.com the other day that the official Sikh colors were blue and basanti yellow, not saffron, so he's probably not Sikh ... hmmm ...."

 

Basically the only people who notice the subtle differences between different turban styles are ... wait for it ... people who actually wear turbans themselves

It doesn't matter. The Taliban are being portrayed all over the news as villains. All of the news reports are about how horrible it is that these turbanned, bearded, stone age savages have once again taken control of Afghanistan.

Also, right wing news will start going on about Afghani refugees, making people even more wary of anyone who they perceive to be Afghani.

How dare you! I'll have you know they've reformed their image.
