Sikhs and Muslims…

Writing by shinda on Wednesday, 22 of March , 2006

So many times we find Sikhs being miss-represented in the media. Whether its shows hinting that Sikhs are terrorists or just re-justifying stereotypes of all people who wear turbans being linked to terrorism in some way. Its safe to say that if you see a Sikh you’re not really educated as to them being something other then what people already think when they see them and that’s someone of Arabic, Islamic descent. You only need to go back a few posts and watch the Sikh in the Street video to confirm this.

So the other week while I was in Toronto for the weekend, I ran into one of my boys who suggested I watch this show called Sleeper Cell. As you may guess from the title, its main focus is terrorism, in a post 9-11.world. The basic premise for the show without giving too much away is the FBI tries to infiltrate a sleeper cell which plans to run a terrorist attack on the States. It seems to be a show that tries to show that terrorism is not confined to a single nationality, race etc. with the terrorists all being Muslims of different races, backgrounds etc. and that it’s an evil perverted form of Islam that promotes terrorism.

Anyways, like I was talking about earlier many Hollywood types fail to distinguish the difference between Sikhs, Muslims, Persians etc and rather just clump us all together. Its for that reason that I think its nice to see something that while keeping with the whole drama mood shows and teaches something else, anyways here’s a clip with what I’m talking about.

I think more stuff like this can go a long way.

Interesting clip, not so sure if I’m a fan of the,

“they ******* hate each other”

line… that’s not right to be honest. But in a small way exposing a little more of the inter-ethnic-racial tension. Like Crash did so well.

Cheers for posting.

I felt like the only thing I can do to help the Sikhs is to become one and now people think twice when they see me with a turban because they know Im not muslim but they dony know what. I think it makes them research.
