I am a Sikh, and there is big difference between us and the muslims:
1) We dont kill innocent animals i.e. cook or prepare any kind of meat , be it halal, as these are gods creation and have a RIGHT to live as we do.
2) It is compulsory to wear turban and beard (Have to stay as GOD made you right from birth, why change his creation)
3) We believe in one god as the supreme power
4) We dont not fast, as fasting doesnt have any relevance to the Sikh religion and one doesnt get closer to god if they fast, only good deeds, giving to charity, praying to GOD and loving people will.
5) Women are treated equally and can lead a congregation just as men can
"It is through woman that order is maintained. Then why call her inferior from whom all great ones are born"
6) We respect each and every religion regardless of their beliefs.
7) We are not a violent sect of people.
8) Sikhs do not believe in idol workship or participating in any rediculous rituals, we only worship the ONE.
9) The word "Sikh" means learning, a learning student, we are all his sons and daughters and we are here to learn the correct path.
10) Circumcision holds no relevance to a Sikh, you should make sure you clean yourself properly, why change GODs creation.
11) Sikhs do not face in any particular direction, east or west, when praying, as GOD seems to be everywhere.
12) Sikhs do not hold any significance in ritual shaving of the head, in fact removing of hair is forbidden in Sikhism.
13) We do not believe in Judgement day, but we believe that each and every one of us is being judged every second, every minute and every hour and there is a quote:
The clay of the Muslim's grave becomes clay for the potter's wheel.Pots and bricks are fashioned from it, and it cries out as it burns.The poor clay burns, burns and weeps, as the fiery coal fall upon it. O Nanak, the Creator created the creation; the Creator Lord alone knows.
So how can ones body erect in Judgement day.
14) Sikhs do not believe in high caste or low, all are one in the eyes of the Lord
15) Sikhs dont guess how many planets there are in the universe or claim that there are X amount of planets, we believe that there are numerous planets in the universe, and he who created the universe (LORD) know the best.
...and scientists are still seeing there are other planets, and Sikhism being around 500 years old conveyed the message that there are millions and millions of planets, the lord only knows.
16) Sikhism doesnt believe that the 10 Guru's were GOD, we believe them as GURU who teahc the right path and we dont classify them as GOD.
17) Sikh bodyguards did kill Indian Prime minister because she ordered the attack on the holy shrine "Golden temple" which was unjust and uncalled for.
Now tell me is there anything in the list thats illogical, you wont find one including you Muslims.

I'm a muslim but I know very little about the Sikh religion so I won't even try to answer that question! As I don't like people explaining islam without knowledge(because of misconseptions), I won't do the same for a religion I never practiced or investigated. Try the BBC religion website for an overview of both religions,

There are many differences in belief. Read up on it if you want to. I just want to say that I have family in Nankana Sahib, Pakistan where I have visited many times. The Gurdwara is there which is the most religious place in Sikhism. Contrary to what many **** stirrers will say on here I think Muslims and Sikhs get along very well, we do not judge others on their religious beliefs, we judge others on what they do.

There is a big difference between Muslims and Sikhs.
Muslims believe in Islam a Abrahamic religion they believe in one god.
The Sikhs believe in men who are there guru's as there god.
For those who claim Sikhs are a non violent faith.
They are responsible for the murders of there prime ministers in India.A couple of years ago in the UK a female Sikh wrote a play called "Beizati" (meaning shame),about paedophilia and rape in Sikh temples the Sikh people vandalised the theatre and sent her death threats.
Due to there violence the play had to be cancelled.
