I have never been so mad

[BugI02]

Strong Sikh presence in trucking, especially as owner/operators

That said, not seeing any evidence of either image wearing a kirpan

Free speech it goes all ways and there are no buts. Just like 2a you cant say “I support 2a but…………” I mean you can say it just whatever you say won’t be taken seriously anymore.

Unless you are White, then you DO NOT have freedom of speech.

Might wanna Google "Punjab, India" there, boss.

I am a truck driver & yes you are correct. I was told the best (quickest) way to tell the difference; Sikhs turbans form a V where the Muslims are straight across. ?

Lol well that’s a different conversation. Driving through Chicago yesterday saw lots of “black owned“ signs on buildings I am curious what would be the result if it were the other way…..

Both are Sikh

 

[The Bubba Effect]

Who are those guys and why are you mad?

Edit: Thanks for explaining who those guys are, Bug

Op: why are you mad about those guys? I dont know much about politics in India, especially their internal politics.

Agree he is most likely Sikh. He is either the bravest Sikh on the road or unaware how most Americans struggle to tell the difference between Sikh and Islamic hardliners.

 

[armalitesheepdog]

…but you’re really not, if seeing this makes you want to silence them…

Chances are VERY good that he’s Sikh, not Muslim, aka one of the good guys. And in the small chance he isn’t? Tough, this is what freedom of speech looks like.

A sikh with osama binladin on his truck?

Neither of those are Osama Bin Ladin. See Bug's post #28 above.

There are lots of things in modern society I don't like. This just doesn't happen to be one of them.

At least it wasn’t 40 virgins .

Surprised the dude isn't holding a brand-new M4 carbine. You know Bidumb's give away.

They are people from the driver's background that he reveres or respects. No different than having an image of George Washington or a picture of John Wayne on your vehicle

 

[Twangbanger]

Can you put into words exactly what makes you mad about it?

Whether it's muslim or sikh is really irrelevant.

If you can't put it into words, and are just reduced to saying, "Well, I just don't like it, I don't care what anybody else thinks..." That's kind of a ***** response.

Exactly. Put up a picture of Trump holding an AK-47, and go do you. That will make some heads explode.

Sharing the world with people who aren't like you is something a lot of Americans on both sides are going to have to get used to.

Freedom supposed to be uncomfortable.
