Sikhism is a monotheistic religion with its own scriptures, initiation rites, marriage and funeral ceremonies, and places of pilgrimage and worship. The world’s 15 million Sikhs trace their beliefs back to a 15th-century Indian guru, or teacher, named Nanak. His followers were known as Sikhs, from a Sanskrit word meaning “disciple.” Nanak was born to Hindu parents in the Punjab region of northern India, his birthplace now being a part of Pakistan. The majority of his followers are from the Punjab, although Sikhs have settled throughout India and in other parts of the world.

No, that's as dumb as saying the pope is Jewish because he wears a skull cap!
Not me, but unfortunately, a lot of morons do. After the 9/11 attacks, there were many "misdirected" attacks upon Sikhs in NY, where I live. Who knows what that mass-murderer in Wisconsin was thinking when he attacked the Sikhs in Wisconsin.
