Religious literacy<\/a>\u00a0challenges ignorance, discrimination, conflict, and exclusion. This ignorance can manifest itself in the\u00a0\u00a0\u201cIslamization\u201d of other identities<\/a>, when non-Muslims are assumed to be Muslim. Faith identities are primarily seen as religious-based identities through which individuals confess their belief to a deity and pledge allegiance to a set of traditions.\u00a0These identities also embody many cultural and ethnic forms<\/a>. For example, the anti-Muslim hate Sikh rhetoric is not a new phenomenon. It has been happening for a long time and reached its peak after 9\/11\u2013and continuing on a high since then. It varied from insults, discrimination, and \u2018Hello bin Laden\u2019 to mass shootings. Since 9\/11, Islamophobia has spread and targeted groups indiscriminately. Sikhs, who wear a turban as an article of faith, have often been mistaken for Muslims, therefore labeled as a \u201clegitimate target.\u201d The first victim of a 9\/11 \u201crevenge killing\u201d was Balbir Singh Sodhi, a Sikh-American gas station owner. On September 15, 2001, he was\u00a0shot dead<\/a>\u00a0in Arizona. The perpetrator mistook him for an Arab Muslim. In 2012 in Wisconsin, another shooter stormed the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin Oak Creek,\u00a0Killing 6<\/a>\u00a0at a Sikh Temple Near Milwaukee. This global phenomenon led Britain\u2019s first turban-wearing Sikh MP Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi to call for a\u00a0change<\/a>\u00a0to the definition of Islamophobia to include \u2018perceived Muslimness\u2019 which he says would protect other groups from persecution.\u00a0Canada has the second largest Sikh population<\/a>\u00a0in the world, outside of India so this concern is relevant and local. Many Sikh parents are finding it extremely difficult to explain to their children why they are being\u00a0targeted<\/a>\u00a0with Islamophobic attacks, when they themselves are not Muslim. Nonetheless, Sikhs warn against saying\u00a0 \u2018We\u2019re not Muslim<\/a>\u2019 as defence. Saying, \u2018Don\u2019t hate me, I\u2019m not a Muslim\u2019 is not a response Sikhs tend to make. Their own religious consciousness allows them to have the awareness of how saying this would\u00a0 demonize another religious group. To engage with fellow members of our society, we need to recognize that assuming an individual\u2019s Muslim identity based on race is racialized Islamophobia. It is common for anyone with Brown skin to be targeted for being Muslim\u2013this includes Arabs Christians, Latinos, Hindus, and many others. The perpetrators fail to separate radical terrorist groups from Muslims. \u00a0 This is bigotry and shows the palpable need for a society that embodies religious literacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
