Hi Darran,

> Sikhs habitually carry their Kirpans (religious daggars) in their turbans. That is the reason they are being asked to remove their head wear.

Sikhs don't carry religious daggars any more. Some of my more orthodox Sikhs actually carry a substitute piece of iron that is rounded and every small (size of a pen). It has no pointed edges and looks more like a pen.

Even they never attempt to conceal it. I don't think they keep it in their turbans...though do some times use it to adjust their turbans.

In essence I think the Sikhs have adjusted a lot to fit into America.

-Raj
p.s: Ooops Darren and Lola....It seems like I have been going out of my league :-) I am not Sikh, though my wife is Punjabi and thus I do go to the guru dewaras here :-)..... Obviously you guys know a lot about this then I do :-)
