They broke the rules in service to a greater principle. (Freddy Mercury, who was born Sikh wold have been proud)
It's like shaving pubes to fight crabs!
Common sense prevailed, I am very impressed.
While I don't buy into the Sikh religion and know they are quite misogynistic, they are usually level headed, unless honor is at stake - at which point, they are reminiscent to book and media interpretations akin to 18th and 19th European/American dueling culture.
Wow, good for them. Too bad fundie xtions can't even wear a mask which ISN'T against their religion.
