    Yes.

    In the Western world, many people cannot differentiate between Sikh's and Muslims. They often categorize them as the same people even though they're not.

    Sikh's accept the true form of the Creator by keeping their facial hair and wrapping their long hair into a turban.

    Muslims often keep their hair cut, wear a taqiyah, and though they keep long beards as well, they often shave off the mustache part.

    In general, Sikh men look more physically stronger, taller, and are selfless and humble people.

    I believe that the Western world should be more educated on learning the differences between the two religions, both physically and religiously. It disappointing to hear when Sikhs are senselessly targeted by hate crimes and are murdered for what the Muslims have done in. For instance, following the events of 9/11, two elder Sikh men were shot and murdered because the killers thought they were Muslim. Please learn the differences before you judge and keep in mind that you must treat every religion and human being with dignity and respect.

    They are two different religions and have different beliefs. In Sikhism wearing a turban is a religious obligation where as wearing turban for Muslim is cultural and not religious duty. Sikhs don't believe that Muhammad was a prophet from God. Sikhs have their own religious book. Sikhs are not allowed to cut hair on any part of there body.

    A Sikh always wears a turban, and has a kirpan. A Muslim wears the local headwear and does not have a ceremonial dagger.

    Yes. And it's pretty obvious to identify a Sikh (At least a male, anyways) because they don't cut their hair, wear a turban, typically have beards and they always wear this metal bracelet/bangle on their right hand.
