   The pronunciation is different. More like “seek”, but the message is correct. The intolerance of those who deny other Americans their voice is one that is indeed a sickness.

   Sadly, I live in a town that seems to be saturated with the sick type.

   Washington, D.C. is full of the sick type. Now that D.C lost their gun ban the sickos have something to fear. D.C.’s murder rate is down by 50%. All crime is down in D.C.. Crooks fear armed cistizens more than they do the police.

   Jeff, most of the Sikhs they’ve been interviewing DO pronounce it like “sick”, not “seek”. I thought your error was correct also, but have been listening closer to see what IS right.

   
   Now, if we can just get folks clear Sikhs are NOT “Muslims”, and while we’re at it, stop the prejudice and hate directed in this country at BOTH! or for that matter, anyone as a GROUP, and focus on the INDIVIDUALS who cause “problems”, or little things like “wars”, and “persecution of others”.

   
   Sadly, too many countries, like, yes, Syria and others on all sides, call these deranged individuals, “leaders”. In Democracies, we’re supposed to be bright enough NOT to elect them, and therefore NOT get involved in foreign wars, with folks who DO NOT affect us DIRECTLY! “Human rights” IS an “interesting” reason for entering some wars, as it turns out too often, the “rescuer” merely becomes the new “tyrant”.

   This is a cartoon that ALL rational people should agree with. Whether Republican OR Democrat, we CAN all agree on that people like this are a problem. It’s the PERSON. Not the race. Not the sex. Not the party affiliation. It’s the SICKNESS of the MIND that people stoop to acts of violence that people do.

   I agree. The sickness of small minded intolerant people of those who think in different terms should be discouraged always.

    I have worked with the Punjabi, they pronounce it closer to Seek or rather seeik, not sick.
    .
    I have heard no one hear presume them to be Muslim, so I wonder who you were lecturing to.

    You must understand that sooner or later the Sikhs would have been targeted anyway. These are at heart religious fanatics too of the one size (version of their religion of religions) fits all or else.

    American born Sikhs I know have corrected my pronunciation, saying that “sik” is closer that “seek”. BUT when pronounced by their Indian born parents, it always sounds more like “seek”. As a group, they are among the hardest working, most honorable people I know. They have a reputation as some of the fiercest warriors on the planet.

    ^That might be it. Years ago when in college the few folks I knew were exchange students and it came out “seek”, the interviews I was referencing were American born, so language, and culture, do change?

    Nice to see a topic we can all agree on (except the pronunciation thing). These “sick” people display the absolute worst side of humanity, our ignorance and fear of the unknown.
