There are no conflicts between Muslims and Sikhs. Historically, there were wars between the Mughal Empire (which was an Islamic Empire in India) and the Sikhs who revolted and proceeded to create their own empire. There was also violence between Sikhs and Muslims and Hindus during the Independence of India and Pakistan. There is also mild anti-Sikh feeling in Pakistan since Sikhs maintain good relations with Ahmadis, who are are considered Muslim heretics by Sunni Pakistanis. However, general relations between the groups are relatively good. The recent relaxing of tensions between India and Pakistan has allowed for cross-border religious tourism.
