[QUOTE="Amardeep Singh 1000, post: 216569, member: 22021"] Jimmy, you asked me this but I can't find your quote, so I will reply here: Thank you Amardeep. I will read the information on SikhiWiki. I am also here to share my experience knowledge, also to find new friends and learn from all of members :) How is NY? I haven't yet been to USA, I have a cousin who is American. Hopefully soon I will go for holidays to the states. How big is the Sikhn community in States and Canada? Jimmy, New York is ok. I live in Brooklyn, so I don't get into Manhattan very often. Most of the gurdwaras in NY are in Queens. I have seen a few Sikhs in my neighborhood, but I have not had the chance to ask them about themselves or they go to a gurdwara closer than the one in Queens that I go to which takes a long train ride. My gurdwara is the Sikh Cultural Society [URL]http://www.gurudwarascsny.com/?page=1[/URL] According to my understanding there are approximately 700,000 Sikhs in the US, all over the US actually--even in places I never thought Sikhs would end up--with the highest concentrations being in California, New Jersey, and New York. Since the 9/11 attacks, it is has been very difficult for Sikhs here because of the hatred for Muslims and the perception of Muslims as terrorists.
