The kirpan is subject to significant legal restrictions in several European countries with sizable Sikh populations, including:
Italy (~210,000–220,000 Sikhs)
France (~30,000 Sikhs)
Denmark (~4,000–5,000 Sikhs)
In Italy, the Supreme Court has upheld restrictions on carrying the kirpan in public. Denmark has had an explicit ban since 2006.
Many Sikhs view these limitations as conflicting with their religious obligations.
Sikhs have responded through peaceful legal challenges, political advocacy, and public awareness campaigns in attempts to change these laws and secure greater religious accommodations.
What about baptised Sikhs living in Dubai without a kirpan?
Are they not Sikhs?
I can see only radicalised Sikhs aligned with radical Islamist ideology demanding this.
Ban it in UK now
