in the Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia and Iran you can not display items of faith so can Sikhs wear the turban or kara?
What about diet? If halal meat is not allowed are Sikhs in Middle East vegetarians?
Sikhs don't live in Saudi Arabia or Iran.
AFAIK, Sikhs do not eat meat killed that has been killed in a religious way. So they would not eat halal or kosher meat.
and here's this from the internet:
Eating meat killed in a ritualistic manner (Kutha meat): Sikhs are strictly prohibited from eating meat killed in a ritualistic manner (such as halal or kosher, known as Kutha meat ), or any meat where langar is served. ... The meat eaten by Sikhs is known as Jhatka meat.
There's more to the Middle East than Saudi Arabia and Iran. And Saudi has the most Indian workers in the Middle East...
Yeah that's really fascinating, yet the only country in the Middle East with Sikhs in it are the UAE.
Not my fault if you give Iran and Saudi Arabia as examples.
If a Sikh has problems with eating beef, there are so many other kinds of meat available.According to wikipedia there are "more than 250,000 Hindus, more than 70,000 Buddhists, approximately 45,000 Sikhs," in Saudi Arabia.
By the way Flankerl, did you look at my thread about Jews in the Middle East? There are some queries I have and I said that Israel can follow the India democratic model so that both Jews and Muslims can live in the same country.

Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi is going to Israel soon. We are finally going to accept full diplomatic relations with Israel. Perhaps he will have a word of advice for Netanyahu.
