Not technically/ fairly.
But unfortunately, now days it goes by the look!

And the MILITARY connection to this TROLL question?
Nobody wears a turban, they wear the keffiyeh (Arabic: ÙÙÙÙØ©, kÅ«fÄ«yä; plural: ÙÙÙÙات, kÅ«fÄ«yÄt) is also known as a shmagh, shemagh or yashmag (Ø´Ù
اغ, Å¡mÄÄ¡), a ghutra (غترة, Ä¡uträ) or a hatta (ØØ·ÙØ©, ḥaá¹á¹Ã¤), and is a traditional headdress of Arab men, made of a square of cloth ("scarf"), usually cotton, folded and wrapped in various styles around the head. It is commonly found in arid climate areas to provide protection from direct sun exposure, as well as for occasional use in protecting the mouth and eyes from blown dust and sand.
Local variations exist. Many Palestinian keffiyeh are a mix of cotton and wool, which lets them dry quickly and keep the wearer's head warm. The keffiyeh is usually folded in half, into a triangle, and the fold is worn across the forehead. Often, the keffiyeh is held in place by a rope circlet, called an agal (Arabic: عÙاÙ, Ê¿iqÄl). Some wearers wrap the keffiyeh into a turban style, while others wear it loosely draped around the back and shoulders. Sometimes a skullcap is worn underneath the keffiyeh, and, in the past, it has also been wrapped around the rim of the fez. The keffiyeh is almost always of white cotton cloth, but many have a checkered pattern in red or black stitched into them. The plain, white keffiyeh is most popular in the Gulf states, almost excluding any other style in Kuwait and Bahrain. The black-and-white keffiyeh is most popular in the Levant. The red-and-white keffiyeh is worn throughout these regions, but is most strongly associated with Jordan, where is it known as shmagh mhadab. The Jordan keffiyeh has cotton-made decorative strings on the sides. It is believed that the bigger those strings the more value it has and the higher a person's status is. It has been used by Bedouins through out the centuries and was used as a symbol for honor and tribal identification.
Keffiyeh is often spelled kaffiyah, keffiya, kaffiya, kufiya or some other variation. There is little basis for considering any one of these more correct than the others, as the varied spellings simply show different understandings of the pronunciation in Arabic, which differs from region to region, as well as different methods of transliteration from the Arabic alphabet to the Latin alphabet. The name keffiyeh is purported to come from the name of the city Kufa (Arabic: اÙÙÙÙØ©, al-kÅ«fä) or from the word for the palm of the hand (اÙÙÙ, al-kef) (the other meaning of the word is "napkin" (held in hands).
The keffiyeh, especially the all-white version, can also be called a ghutra (غترة, Ä¡uträ), particularly in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain (where the skullcap is confusingly called keffiyeh), but is also known in some areas a shmagh (Ø´Ù
اغ, Å¡mÄÄ¡) or a hatta (ØØ·ÙØ©, ḥaá¹á¹Ã¤).

Osama Bin Ladin wears a Depends diaper on his head as a spare, not a turban. That's why we always see him sitting and never tried to be a suicide bomber. He's always on the pot.
Hindus wear turbans too so no. Maybe a liking for curry sauce, taxi driving and Bollywood movies though.

In the United States it is uncommon to see people wearing a turbin so even if 9/11 never happened you and your family would still draw curious on lookers.

I suppose that if you carried RPG's and AK's around and made videos denouncing any sort of democratic government and wished that your followers would kill themselves for a holy jihad...then yeah maybe.
Otherwise..nope, turbans just another headpiece.

it sucks, but I am sure the people that work at airport security would label you as a suspected highjacker. as long as you are not one, you should have nothing to worry about, just plan accordingly when traveling lol.

Perhaps your family could demonstrate otherwise by actively fighting against the extremists that give them a bad reputation.
Perhaps you could start by telling us the evils of those extremists and then pointing out to muslims that it is haram to commit suicide or kill unarmed civilians that have done nothing to you. Perhaps you could highlight to them that AQ is killing muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as other parts of the world.
Or perhaps you are Hindu and have no part of any of that.
