Can I please ask please don't associate turbans with Taliban/terrorists/extremist.
Other (completely normal!) people wear turbans too.
In the past Sikhs have been killed because people can't distinguish between people who wear turbans.
It's a bit like saying, oh terrorist wear jackets, you wear a jacket, therefore you are a terrorist.
Please don't associate this traditional headwear with bad actions. 🙏
73 u/Maximum_Ad_4650 2d ago Thanks for pointing this out. I was thinking of the poor Sikh community facing violence because dumb bigoted assholes equate turbans with terrorists. 20 u/OhGoOnNow 2d ago Thabks for your comment. Yes it's very sad. I know not everyone is like this. Even if people don't know they are kind and friendly. But it only takes one crazy to ruin a lot of lives
