| 看到《TIME》最近一篇报道，是转载的一篇报道，在新西兰一名锡克教男士，看到一名男孩头部受伤流血不止，想也没想，摘下他头上的头巾，垫在男孩头下，帮忙救助这名小男孩。这一类的事情本来是一个非常平常的事情，可是连《TIME》等大型媒体也大肆转载，而且把焦点集中在这位救人的是锡克族人士，说他在公共场合摘下头巾有违他的教规。
这样的表扬，让我想起了中共国内经常的树立道德模范的事情。我觉得这种紧急情况下救人，是不分宗教和种族的，当然，中国大陆人除外，因为大陆道德沦丧了。我觉得没有必要非要把救人和他的宗教联系起来。
锡克教并非极端宗教，和温和穆斯林教一样，虽然规定成年教徒在公共场合必须带头巾，但是并非极端的教规，在紧急情况下，摘下头巾救人是可以的，一般不会因此而得到惩罚。
但是，如果把这样的事情大肆宣扬，特别赋予宗教的涵义而宣扬，我认为不妥，也没有必要。虽然美国是言论自由的社会，但是大型媒体需要注意宗教的敏感性。
这件事情，就像那位救人的先生所说的，换成任何人遇到这样的情况，都会这样做的。所以没有必要大肆宣扬，特别不能把这样的事情与宗教联系起来。要不然味道就变了。
Sikh Man Breaks Religious Rule and Removes His Turban to Save a Child
"I think anyone else would have done the same as me"
A Sikh man broke strict religious protocol on Friday and removed his turban to help a child who’d been hit by a car outside his home in Auckland.
Harman Singh, 22, saw that the 5-year-old boy’s head was bleeding and acted immediately, removing his turban despite the fact that his religion prohibits him to do so in public.
“I wasn’t thinking about the turban,” Singh told The New Zealand Herald. “I was thinking about the accident and I just thought, ‘He needs something on his head because he’s bleeding.’ That’s my job – to help.”
He added: “I think anyone else would have done the same as me.”
Singh’s heroic act earned him praise around the world over the weekend. “Total strangers are asking to be friends on Facebook and thousands of people have said ‘Well done,’ ” he told the paper Saturday. “I was only doing what I had to and trying to be a decent member of the community.”
The boy was taken to the hospital with life-threatening head injuries, though he was in stable condition as of Friday evening.
