        A beautiful example of how Sikhs - who endure hate regularly - respond with values of love and compassion consistently.

        Oh yes it's here. I think we can always be deluded into believing the work is done. It's an ongoing challenge knowledge/compassion may cure

        Doesn't surprise me, as a Canadian citizen I see plenty of Muslim hate here... and people not knowing Sikh are not the same thing.

        Not that even if she got his religion correct she be any better. Muslims aren't a hive mind he can't tell a billion+ people what to do.

        I wish we deserved all the praise we get on twitter (for just not being horrible) Jagmeet did a good thing. The bar is very low.

        Sorry, I was unclear. Speaking as a Canadian, as a country we receive much unearned praise. Jagmeet earned it, just not the whole country.

        To add to the positive side of this (how Jagmeet handled it) - his campaign has signed up more members than all of his competition combined.

        Not to judge superficially, but when he's called Singh, has a huge turban and a beard like a rainforest, how can you not know he's a Sikh?

        Singh is not a Muslim name, for one easily fact-checked thing.

        No I get it. Glad you have an open mind to learn new things. I'm from small east Texas town, I'd say 98% wouldn't know the difference either
