Sikh fans say they were hassled by Qualcomm security over turbans

Five friends and Broncos fans drove seven hours from Fresno (Calif.) to San Diego to see their favorite team face the Chargers last Sunday, but they initially weren't allowed into Qualcomm Stadium because three of the men were wearing turbans.
"Three of my buddies, they had turbans on and it was like you guys got to take the turbans off, the security guard goes, and my religion, we are not supposed to take them off," Verinder Mahli said, according to Fox25.
Mahli and his friends are members of the Sikh faith.
The men were eventually allowed into the stadium, but Mahli claims the security supervisor told them that if they ever return to Qualcomm Stadium they cannot wear turbans.
"It's bad, I mean, this is embarrassing for me, because we are Americans at the end of the day," Mahli said. "And we are not supposed to be afraid of fellow Americans."
There's more, via 10News.com:
"Everybody [is] kind of confusing us with the turbans, because what you see on TV is mostly the terrorists they wear turbans," Mahli explained. "But our turbans [are] different, our faith is different, our beliefs are different."
The city of San Diego is looking into the matter and said the security supervisor is not employed by the city.
