Forumosaurus Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Don't know how true this is as it's being reported on by The Sun, but apparently Sikhs are allowed to take their knives into the Olympic village? I'm sure the genuine Sikhs wouldn't use it, but surely a terrorist could pretend to be one and kill quite a few people. Seems stupid that they're letting knives into the Olympic stadiums for any reason. Link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerrangaroo Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 The Daily Mail are leading with this story tomorrow. Real Sikhs will be wearing 'I am a real Sikh' T-shirts. Terrorists will not be able to purchase these so the public have nothing to fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamrocker Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Ah, The Sun, that well known arbiter of truth. So you are saying its a fallacy that Sikhs carry ceremonial daggers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lounge Jay Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 There was a story a couple of years ago about a Sikh child being allowed to take a ceremonial dagger into school, which raised a few eyebrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is significant... if it turns out to be true then its amazing that Christians often can't wear a cross at their place of work yet Sikh's can carry daggers around; we're supposed to be one nation with one set of rules that apply to all, and it wont do to have one section of society to be allowed to carry weapons and the rest of us not.

Are Christians being forbidden from wearing crosses in the Olympic Village? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
