Sikhs get backlash every time a terror incident happens....

UK Sikhs feel the blast heat

LONDON: British Sikhs, the country's large, most visually distinct minority, have claimed that they are falling victim to a post-9/11 style backlash because of mistaken identity and that British politicians are glossing over this inconvenient fact in public statements.

The Sikh Federation, the UK's first Sikh political party, which claims to represent the aspirations of the estimated 500,000-strong community, said on Saturday that the first gurdwara was attacked within 24 hours of the terrorist atrocities.

The Federation accused Britain's political and intellectual class of "simply paying lip-service to Sikhs in private." It complained that the sporadic mistaken identity attacks were "all the more surprising (because Britain has ) just hosted Manmohan Singh, a turban wearing Sikh Prime Minister." http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1165988.cms

The only people I have ever seen wearing Turbans in the US are Sikhs. Well atleast in public.

I know that "stop wearing turbans" won't be regarded as an acceptable answer, but I still want to say it.

Muslims don't even wear turbans outside of certain countries. Most Western Muslims wear a small fez/fedora or Jewish-style skull cap.

backlashes are bad period.
people on the receiving end never actually deserve it.
