It is necessary for Muslims to be especially compassionate during this time and respect that Sikhs deserve to have their identities and religion understood. Wanting Sikhism to be acknowledged as a religion in its own right is not to say being confused for a Muslim is embarrassing so please stop taking it personally. It is their right to establish identities of their own.
