There are two types of Sikhs, the real ones who still identify themselves with Hindus and the other ones who call themselves Akalistanis and identify themselves with Muslims, so it all depends.
And since Sikhism only became a truly militant force against the Muslims after 1699, and the Sikh army only met with their first major victories and establishment of the first Sikh Kingdom under the Guidance of a Hindu Rajput, named Laxman Singh from Riasi near Jammu, whose name was changed to Madho Das after he became an Ascetic and then again changed to Banda Bahadur or Banda Bir Bairagi when he took up the sword once again to lead the Sikhs against the Muslims.
So until 1699, it was all a Hindu resistance through Rajputs, Marathas, Assamese, Gurkhas etc etc etc
