Dude. Revenge of the Sikh? That's terrible. I went to a Sikh temple in Atlanta some years ago. It was really lovely, and they were very kind and gentle and very hospitable.

Well, I think it´s funny, you do see the Star War´s connection, don´t you?
Yes, that´s my experience from the Golden Temple too, Sikh are lovely, kind and gentle;
until they are not.
There is a sad background story to it, since the photo-or whatever-shopped picture of the Sikhs with the light swords I found in da net, was actually originally from an incident where Sikhs had been attacking each other with real swords in the Golden Temple Complex.

There is a militant warrior tradition alive and well among certain Sikh groups and those swords and spears are not only folklore and decoration.
Oh it's funny. It's just a totally groan-worthy pun. Yes, I get it. We are absolute Star Wars freaks in this house. That's really wild that they just went after each other with swords in a holy place. Temper, temper. I will say the big swords at the front of the temple during the ceremony were slightly unsettling, but no one showed even a hint of anything like aggression.
