[quote] NEW YORK (AP) -- A brawl involving cricket bats and small swords at a Sikh temple in New York City has led to riot and assault charges against seven people.
Police say the defendants interrupted prayer services at the Baba Makhan Shah Lubana Sikh Center in Queens on Sunday. They were arraigned Monday.
Temple president Jamail Singh told the Daily News that the fight was instigated by a dissident group of followers who are opposed to opening up membership.
The dispute is at the center of a lawsuit in state Supreme Court.
Some of those arrested Sunday also were charged with disrupting a religious service.[/quote]

Just had a mental image of 7 Arabs fighting with Scimitars. Because I'm slightly racist and ignorant like that.

Sikhism came into existence as the sword arm of Hindus against the Muslim invaders, so I wouldn't call them arabs.
Considering Sikhs are required to carry a blade at all times, I'm surprised I've never heard of such things happening.
I'm surprised any sikhs opposed opening to new membership. They are so welcoming!

I'm legitimately interested in knowing who had the upper hand here
I'm quite the expert with swords. I could've showed them a thing or two.
Is there any security footage of this? It just had to have looked bad ass.

That's a fair point, it's religious requirement for them to carry their blade, how the fuck does this not happen more often? I Sihk to discover the answer to this question. v:v:v

Sikhs are not Muslims...
Oh gosh I laugh because I am sikh. Hilarious
Why do they have cricket bats? ..
Fun fact of the day: Sikhs were considered one of the martial races that would help Britain rule India.
That's funny. Mainly because nobody was harmed. Then it would be less funny.
ASSASSINS CREED ALL OVER AGAIN.
Would have been pretty awesome to watch

That IS why it doesn't happen more often. No one wants to attack someone with a sword knowing there's a 50% chance they're going to end up dead. The same reason burglars don't rob farm houses often.

The hat adds balance to aid in swordsmanship, as well as contain all his suicide bombs.

Good god, are you saying that it's legal to walk around in public swinging that thing around? You could kill somebody!
And I'm talking about the hat!

If you look closer you'll see he's storing extra weapons on his hat.

Funny. But really, most of them have their sword welded to their belt, and it's impossible to wield the sword. It's more for show than .. for you know, stabbing and killing people.
holy crap, i passed by the place in a bus and i was wondering why there were police cars in front of it
