in that case much of stuf written in Koran is not recorded in science. whats his point? Waheguru can do whatever he wishes. Love how all the men are outraged and starting a ruckass at why such a blasphemus question was able to be asked!!! Hope the Singh got out ok, and Fateh to the Singh for going into such a hostile environment at his own risk and posing the question.

one singh really is equal to 125000!

he says he has read Guru Granth Sahib, but also re Guru Nanak Dev Ji, at Mecca, it was not uncommon for people of religion to destroy any evidence of events occuring that belittled their religion or exposed it.

i give the example of one of the caliphs holding 12 different versions of the Koran, keeping the one he thought to be the best, and burning the remaining 11.

I love how he buys time by giving a 11th grade description of what Sikhism is.

Exactly bhaji, his annoying- its best if we do not go near any of his lectures because he will only create doubts and controversy in the minds of young, impressionable sikhs. He may have good knowledge of islam but when it comes to other religions he tries to belittle them and tries to make islam look superior and complete. i remember when he once mentioned that prophet muhammed was kalki avtar when comparing islam with hindusim which sounds strange as islam does not believe in reincarnation. he will say any gibberish to get new converts.

nope exact the opposite - we as sikhs should listen to such bigots and put them right - not just quiten down and do nothing sitting on warm bums- we should produce youtube vidoes in reaction to this with articluate english pointing each and every one of his points

Guru Nanak in Mecca. That is a subject, which can be debated and no answer will pursue. We need to look into history for an explanation but majority of the time it’s unclear and can confuse the subject matter.

We know from historical artefacts and number of writing by Sikh scholars and third party writings, Guru Nanak did go to Mecca but did Guru Nanak go to Mecca as a Muslim or a revolutionary?

Guru Nanak’s philosophical thought behind concept of God was a breath of fresh but during this era many would have regarded him as a insane.

Going back to the subject matter, Guru Nanak visited Mecca with a friend who was a Muslim and firm believer of Nanak philosophy, speaking to a Muslim historian, there is a belief during the era of Guru Nanak non Muslims were allowed to visit Mecca. There wasn’t a requirement like we have in the present day that only a person who follows the Muslim faith can visit Mecca. Mecca was the knowledge centre for Islam and many people from different faiths would go to Mecca to share ideas.

Could this be the case?

I have also heard of this, main reason was to stream line the faith into one belief instead of multi belief system.
