Are these the same people that some refer to as the chicken shiites?

What about all of the people that wear turbans, but do not hate us? Which, is like, the majority of turban wearers...
If we associate so-called towel-heads with terrorists, bad things can happen. The Sikhism religion of India are pacifists and don't believe in violence of any kind. Nobody has ever heard of a Sikh bombing a building. There are approximately 20 million people who are Sikhs, many living in the U.S. as citizens.
After the 9/11 attacks, people (who probably read this idiotic cartoon) violently attacked Sikhs- the Indian pacifists. A very kind man who owned a gas station near my home was gunned down in cold blood for being a so-called towel head. The guy wasn't Islamic or Arabic or any kind of threat. He was an Indian vegetarian. Of course, he was a towel-head, so that meant he hated America right? Wrong.
And, no, I'm not Sikh. I'm Catholic. But cartoons like this are dangerous- and that has nothing to do with political correctness. The next time you call someone a "towel head", maybe you should think about the millions and millions of peace-loving people that wear them.
Think India people. It's big. It's got a lot of people. They like us; we like them. I, personally, won't call people towel-heads. It's not that I'm being politically incorrect; it's just that I don't want to be an asshole.
