I found this commentary (by a Sikh woman, in the Huffington Post) on the shooting in Wisconsin moving: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....50044.html
Her post is instructive on a number of different levels, and her reflections on learning and practicing tolerance, both of others and herself, are a well-taken, timeless reminder.
As I read through, I found myself especially struck by the sentiments in the following paragraph:
"Living in this country as a Sikh woman, I fit in with American culture and even follow fashion trends, although I do not cut my hair. Frequently, I hide the fact that I am a Sikh to blend in and fit it. It is easier to hide than to explain my religion to my colleagues, friends and students. Until today, I have camouflaged myself into my role as a nurse and as an educator, frequently separating my religious beliefs from my occupation. So tomorrow brings a new perspective, the responsibility to educate all those around me".
While I am not necessarily advocating for mixing religious beliefs with other aspects of one's life (such as occupation, for example), I am humbled and inspired by her intention to be more true to herself in more places and with more people. I read it as an instance of practicing tolerance, beginning with one's self.
