You point out that the religion type is the same, but you don't specify how much more religious Americans are.

Can I also carry a Trishul ? In Hindu it's a religion symbol

Just come India then sikh will tell you what knife actually look likes. At least have some humanity about someone's religion .\nNote:- I am Hindu not Sikh.

Tommorow what if a new religion emerges and says u have to wear a bomb around ur neck ..will that also be allowed as per culture..

Iran has its rule.. country got their rule.. u want to hold kirpan, carry it their in your country… if anyone’s religions allows to cut throat that doesnt mean thats is permissible..

I get it this is a issue of religious sensitivity. I’m from Canada and we cannot open carry knives or firearms it’s against the law, even pepper spray is illegal. In the USA the law differs from state to state and schools and universities have their own policies. Usually you can get permission to carry a kripan in school if the blade is not sharp and it’s hidden under clothing. Schools are always understanding and allow it. Sikh or not, religious reason or not, if you openly carry a knife strapped to your chest to a crowded university like the guy in the video did some one is going to call the cops on you. Have some common sense. Yes, religion is a right but it also comes with responsibility.

Me bhi ek sikh jatt family ko belong karta hu( but not Amritdhari( I didn’t drink holy water) to me kangha kirpaan dharan nhi krta hu. Yahan pe punjab me sikh( nihangs) dharam ka galat fayda utha ke tanashaahi kr rhe hai aaj kl. Kisi police wale ka haath kaat dena kabhi kuch . I don’t think i feel safe with my own religion people(especially nihangs). Koi bhi dharam koi bhi religion kabhi bhi kisi insaan ki jaan se uper nhi hota, rules humaari safety ke liye bante hai. So plz follow your religious practices at your home( im only talking about the kirpaan/shri saheb)

Some religion, people walk naked, some stone adulterer, some chop hands of thief, some burn widows alive. A weapon is a weapon. Some religion might have AK and ARs as symbol.

Ohh. His religion says they can carry knife. Can i carry AK 47 to college if my religion says i can carry it. Don't be stupid. Thats not a sikh college to implement your own religious beliefs. This is fucking America. You have to follow our laws.

I respect the sikh religion, but what happened at Red Fort...how the mad men went berserk with their swords and all. Please respect others as well. Bhagwan ji will be ok if u don't carry the kirpan.

I am not being racist. I just think that when you are in another country you need to respect their laws. I understand its part of religion but those are the rules of the country

He’s sikh a place of education should know that this is part of his religion and most Sikhs carry a Kirpan. A country who is culturally unaware of other cultures but thinks it meets diversity.. disgusting

keep ur tradition and religion in house not in public space r education institutions

No matter what ur religion says here in western countries any sharp thing is consider as a weapon and safety hazard and are not permissible on school or college or work place or anyplace so i the cop did what he supposed to do there are rules and regulations so everyone has to follow it no matter what …

Outdated religious beliefs and practices must be changed....keep religion at home...don't flaunt it to others......\nIn the name of religion don't trouble others....

He’s in another country, different law, different habits, different mentality. Why other cultures come to Europe or USA always demanding to respect their culture? It should be the other way around. He can wear his ritual knife but hide it because in our culture it’s dangerous object and most people are ignorant toward religions. He’s wearing a western T-shirt that means he’s flexible, he could hide it.

I don't understand why do people want to practice their religion in a foreign country and expect the foreign country to be accomodate them.. ofcourse they will follow their laws..

American where religion comes first

Ya they did the same thing to me, I was carrying a AK-47 with 5000 rounds of ammunition. When I told them I was a apart of the gunnist religion they said I couldn’t have that anyways. Goddamn bigots.

I mean have your KIRPAN or whatever… but no where in the religion does it say to carry it like that? Have it under your shirt or something, if not then you are asking for it??? \n\nHe thinks their offending him but imagine because if this everyone allowed to carry a knife to school ? How deadly would that become amongst young dumb and full of hormone adult teens ? \n\nBe proud of your ethnicity and faith but dont act arrogant when you know it doesn’t fit the environment?

Cool, my 9mm is part of my religion. I have to carry it everywhere. My religion trumps the rules, laws and regulations of the country I take advantage of living in. \n\nThis is some no-brainer type shit. I don't feel bad. It's this type of bullshit that causes divides in our country. You're not special. Now masses of dumb fucks are going to Hate this officer and other officials because they are doing they're job. No weapons means no weapons. This could have turned out way uglier.

It can still be used as a weapon regardless of religion if you saw someone that was white carrying a knife yould assume the same thing. religion doesn't make a weapon any less deadly

I know it’s in Sikh religion but it is still a weapon

Bruh I could use that to stab so many people I think I might become one, cause clearly faith now trumps people’s right to feel safe, or maybe I should start a religion around bombs, does that mean I can wear one out and about ?

I’m naïve & ignorant to the religion…This man is non threatening; nor is he being violent. & he said. “You can take the whole thing off me. What are you doing?”. Then handcuffs him. Disgusting.

Disgusting.. Police need to be educated....\nWe should be encouraging all creeds of life to follow respect their religion... May waheguru bless him??

I have gun religion symbols … can I carry them publicly ???

A weapon is a weapon. Whether it's used for assault or defence. Tats my opinion. If everyones allowed to carry it in there then it's ok. But there should not be any bias based on religion . We all need to understand that we are in a new era now. We have to reach on a consensus together for peaceful living. I am from India and I have many Sikh friends. But still, in all humility, If u have taken an oath to keep it with yourself forever you have to understand that you are not the same as everyone else, and it will limit you access to many other things in life.

What is wrong with people i mean we should try and respect everyones religion respect for this guy

Ppl commenting here are missing the point that chancellor apologized and educated people about Sikhism in his letter …unlike india where political parties would rather not muslim girls study than let them wear hijab …hijab is not a security threat ……talking about respecting all religion in current bjp ruled India …again majority of secular Indians need to stand up against this slow poison in India

My religion allows me to have a tank

I belong to a particular religion ehere carrying a Bomb is religious necessity, why discrimination with me? I also need to carry bomb bcz of my religion.

So I can carry my hunting blade every where I go and say nah don't worry it's my religion

Freedom of religion my ass

I don't care what his religion says, it is still a knife in plain sight. Maybe they could ask him to put it away instead of calling the cops on him.

I'm an Indian, and I'm sorry but no matter what the religion YOU CAN NOT CARRY A WEAPON TO SCHOOL OR UNI! blunt or sharp doesn't matter!

Just don't carry knife in the name of religion. Modern environment is well protected except America.

I get its his religion, but bro you could of wore it under your shirt but you chose to display it to the world, your faith is in your heart and doesnt need to be shown to others

Please look up the law in North Carolina you can't open and carry knifes in schools there Weather it's Significant to his religion or not it's like me or you carrying a gun into a school yes that's Extreme but with all the Violence in and around schools is it really \n of course he's gonna be Stoped and looked at that's a weapon no matter how you put

Every religion has some rules, but we just can not follow them everywhere.

The problem is, he could keep it inside his t shirt and no one would have asked him to remove it. It is about the Sikhs and the Muslims that in the foreign country they become too sikh and too muslim so that other people get attracted towards them and want to convert. The cop doesn't know about his religion so what is he supposed to do

My religion requires me to bring my machete with me everywhere and you disagree you’re a racist

Well it's part of their religion just like hijab is part of muslim...why can't Americans let them wear it now?\nWhy we are only about protecting muslims rights...\nNow american authorities can answer this

Regardless of Sikh , hindu or muslim (religion)and their beliefs no body should bring any kind of weapons into the school / colleges ... ?... Bz it's not guaranteed that it would be not misused by the person who brings/ by the person who knows there is a weapon and take advantage of it ,thankyou .My self hindu . I have many beliefs but I don't carry anything inside school premises.

Safety of all > religion of one

okay, can your religion bend some rules here. how and why you think strangers shouldn't dhund that hazardous?

Religion or Non religious.. no one should carry any weapons

Keep your customs, religions within your home in your country! Or else this kind of situations will come.
