Well its everybodies choice what to do ...
Americans use to make an issue and create dramas out of everything...
Why he can't tie a propper Sikh Turban to show officially to the world, that Sikh Turbans have nothing to do with muslim in cloth wrapped heads ? After the Golden Temple Visit he can also give a short official statement about the Sikh Turbans, it would also maybe help other Americans to make difference between Sikh and muslims . How many Sikh have been killed and beaten up after 11.September just because this uneducated Americans do not know and do not (want to) see the difference between Sikh Turbans and muslim style wrapped heads .

Well I would love to hear the news that Obama has allowed sikhs in armed forces ,other services but I don't think it is possible for him.Sikhs are very tiny minority in USA.The numbers i heard is ranging from 1 lakh to 1 million.
The question is how many Young sikhs are wearing baana,and out of them How many are actually interested in Joining armed force.I don't think for very tiny minority USA wants to change its policy

Good that Obama hs not entered the Golden Temple. Most of the western people don't know how to behave when they enter places from other cultures . Best example is German Kanzler Angela Merkel. During the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial visit she also has worn slippers , even millions of other visitors are entering the place without any kind of shoes no matter how hot the ground gets. If one can not give the propper respect to the places and to the people of the country which he is visiting he should better stay at own home only. God bless you all.
