I was interested in your opinion on this given that this is an issue you have mentioned a few times. My 2 cents.
1. Zeeshan (smile2jannah) is friends with big Muslim influencers such as Ali Dawah and Mohammed Hijab as well as Dilly Hussain of 5 pillars. So Paul Choudhry is now (or for that particular moment when he was with Zeeshan) adjacent to such people.
2. If some Sikhs do want to work with some Muslims on a united anti-racist front then I don't think those particular Muslims will reject them in the same way they are willing to work with white leftists, Greens, anti-Zionist Jews. This doesn't necessarily mean they'd metaphorically or even literally jump into bed with them. No Muslim is going to start wearing a Sikh turban, wear a kirpan, marry Sikhs (not allowed in Islam) or compromise parts of his religion for them but in a political capacity they (Muslims) will work with anti-racist Sikhs or allow them to be part of a coalition which Muslims are part of.
This doesn't mean all Sikhs are great people or we love Sikhism in the same way that it doesn't mean that if we work with leftists or the green party we believe in what they believe.

3. Just on a tangential point I think that Paul Choudhry guy was trying to tap into pan-Punjabism with Zeeshan in the way he was mentioning how his (Paul) family were originally from Rawalpindi Pakistan and how they speak the same variant of Punjabi as many UK Pakistanis. I don't understand why those two were using the word "Musulman" (Muslim) in that video. We use the same word in my language, Sylheti, but Zeeshan is supposed to be a da'i for a universal audience and the global language is English so why is he being slightly parochial and using a desi word 'Musulman'? I think it's a bit off and seemed to hint 'yaar we are both desis yaar'. I don't agree with that and UK Muslims who are not Punjabi/Pakistani but Somali, Arab, Turk, other Asians wouldn't really jive with that sort of thing.
Muslims in the uk NEED to invest in ways to strengthen and improve our OWN communities so we can excel in ALL fields and have the capacity to physically defend ourselves against ALL threats. We NNED to reduce our interactions with foreigners and those that are alien to us. Look within for power, success and redemption. Foreigners will DO NOTHING for us, no amount of wishful thinking will reduce that.
