I just showed this to 6 other people at work. (we deal with Arabs all day)
Thanks Wah. You made our lunch hour.
But aren\'t these guys Sikh\'s ? The turbans seem to suggest they are
I believe they\'re Punjabi
1. Many Islamic men wear turbans in their native countries. (they tend to abandon them in the west, it has no religious purpose as it does for the Sikhs) Especially Iran, and I deal with Bahrain that has a large population of Iranian refugees.
From Wikipedia (has anyone else noticed Yahoo search sends you here about 95% of the time)
The men of many Islamic cultures have worn or wear turbans. They are called imamah (Arabic: عمامة), dastār (Persian: دستار), sāfā (Hindustani: साफ़ा سافا), and many other words in local languages
Turbans are worn by Muslim scholars (ulema) in many countries.
In some countries, wearing a black turban is a claim to status as a sayyid, or descendant of Muhammad.
Black turbans were imposed by the controversial Taliban regime in Afghanistan. [1]
In Sudan, large white turbans are worn; they generally connote high social status.
In modern Persian Gulf countries, the turban has been replaced by the plain or checkered scarf (called keffiyeh, ghutrah or shumagh), though the turban tradition is still strong in Oman (see Sultan Qaboos of Oman).
2. They probably are Indian, be it Sikh or Punjabi.
3. I was embracing a crude sterotype. It\'s half the fun of that clip IMO.
