One can understand both sides of the argument in this tragic case; male Sikhs believe their adherence to their religion requires them to carry the kirpan, a ceremonial knife symbolic of their faith but, in today's society, does it need to be large enough to inflict lethal wounds?

After all, I understand many Christians carry a Cross symbolic of their faith, but it is seldom large enough to be used to crucify a man...
