Sikh and tired

This is a two-panel humorous comic. The first panel is set on a London street, with Big Ben, red British phone booths, and Union Jack flags visible in the background. A Sikh man holding a kirpan (the ceremonial bladed dagger carried as part of Sikh religious practice) smirks smugly and says 'I CARRY THIS FOR RELIGIOUS REASONS'. In the second panel, the Sikh man looks completely shocked and wide-eyed, as a medieval Crusader Templar Knight (wearing chainmail, a helmet, and a tunic marked with the Templar red cross) holding a large longsword stands beside him and responds 'ME TOO'. The title of the post is 'Sikh and tired', which is a homophone pun on the common phrase 'sick and tired', adding an extra layer of wordplay to the joke, which pokes fun at the contrast between modern religious accommodation rules and the historical context of religiously motivated violence associated with the Crusades.

This comic is originally the #842 work of independent artist SKS Cartoon, as marked by the watermark in the top left corner of the first panel. This specific instance of the meme was distributed via an RSS feed from the platform 9Gag, under the original title 'Sikh and tired' which uses the Sikh/sick homophone pun to frame the joke.
