POP QUIZ!

[elfs]

You're in Seattle. A man working at a 7-11 is wearing a turban. He is most likely:

(A) A Muslim
(B) A Hipster
(C) A Sikh

If you answered C, a Sikh, you were correct! Wikipedia says:

According to Article I of the "Rehat Maryada" (the Sikh code of conduct and conventions), a Sikh is defined as "any human being who faithfully believes in One Immortal Being; ten Gurus, from Guru Nanak Dev to Sri Guru Gobind Singh; the Sri Guru Granth Sahib; the teachings of the ten Gurus and the baptism bequeathed by the tenth Guru; and who does not owe allegiance to any other religion". Sikhs believe in the Equality of Mankind, the concept of Universal brotherhood of Man and One Supreme God (Ik Onkar).

And now you know more than Brock Stainbrook, who yesterday assaulted a man wearing a turban at a 7-11. He seems to have a problem with anger management, according to the indictment, and our inciteful elites gave him an excuse to pop off. Apparently, he was so convinced of the rightness of his actions that he didn't think he'd be arrested when the cops asked him about it.

He is also, very likely, one stylin' fella. There's a gentleman on my street who's a Sikh as well, and he does his morning walk about the same time I get home from work. He always looks very tidy.

You missed the best part!

"He [Stainbrook] was convicted in Hawaii in 2002 and 2004 for making terrorist threats..."

And when taken in this context:

witnesses told[the police] to look for a man wearing a white T-shirt, black pants and carrying one shoe.

He's clearly stark raving mad. There's a likelihood that he'd call *me* a radical muslim terrorist if I annoyed him with some kind of customer service policy like "no shirt, no shoes, no service".

I endorse the wearing of turbans and full beards by hipsters.

Damn you, Elf ... now I want a hipster turban (also).

The actual religion of a random victim of crime intended to hurt Muslims does not matter.

Good! Hopefully he gets tried as committing a hate crime.
