That's the only thing I've ever heard mentioned about him. I don't even know his name because people just call him the new guy with the turban and I know who they're talking about.

No, his turban, his religion is brought up in the context of his continuing interest and campaigning for Sikh separatism and his associating with some people who praise terrorists (though Liberal hands are not clean there either). This guy has spent a great deal of time on the subject, including flying over to India numerous times to defend Sikh terrorist suspects in Indian courts. All of which helps to reinforce the sense of 'other' about him, and questions about just where his loyalties lie.

But no one, as far as I know, has actually asked him questions about his Sikh religious beliefs and how they might impact his behaviour and what laws he might enact should he ever become PM.

Btw interesting that a guy running a party which believes deeply in diversity supports separatism for HIS people in India. Apparently the grand diversity there is unappealing.
