Sikhpulse reports that the Pew Forum’s U.S. Religious Landscape Survey omits Sikhs. I checked it out and sent the following email to feedback@pewforum.org. I encourage you to do the same.
Hi Pew Forum!
I’m very impressed by the U.S. Religious Landscape Survey. Interviewing 35,000+ people is quite a feat.
But I’m suprised to see not even a brief mention of Sikh Americans–the most visible religious minority in America.
Please take a look at this recently released US Department of Justice video titled “On Common Ground” for some detailed info on Sikhs:
http://www.usdoj.gov/crs/video/ocg-video.htm
quotes: “…world’s fifth largest religion…there are over half a million Sikhs in the United States…distinctly separate from Hinduism and Islam”Is there anything we can do to be included–in an appendix or a revision? It seems that you’ve produced some historic research, and we would love for Sikhs to be part of it–is there anything we can do going forward? What do you recommend?
Thanks for your help!
