The line in red is objectionable http://www.bangkokpost.com/News/19Nov2003_news33.html Anti-semitism just refuses to die The monotheistic faiths teach there is but one God, the same God. But the worshippers of one or the other religion continue to kill the worshippers of the others. This is surely the ultimate obscenity. DOUG BANDOW Istanbul sits astride the Bosphorus, a sophisticated, tolerant place that seamlessly mixes Occident and Orient. Now it has been stricken by the cancer of terrorism. The attack on two Turkish synagogues at the weekend is not just an instance of terrorism. It is the deliberate targeting of civilians that reflects the virulent anti-semitism that has despoiled our world for centuries. It is hard for people steeped in the humane, liberal values that we want to believe everyone shares to understand the massacre of innocents. But terrorism is surprisingly common. Although Americans were taken unaware on Sept 11, 2001, many other peoples have long suffered from the murderous attention of terrorists. Attacks on Israelis have been frequent. Kurdish rebels used terrorism against the Turkish government. Leftist terrorists once bedevilled Germany and Italy. Ethnic and religious separatists have killed in Northern Ireland and Spain. Terrorism was a tool of leftists fighting military regimes in South America. Communist guerrillas routinely bomb urban targets in Colombia. Chechens kill in Moscow. Terrorism was used in Algeria against the French colonial overlords and continues today against the military-backed regime. Tamils and Sikhs kill in India. Tamils also have routinely deployed terror against the majority Sinhalese in Sri Lanka. Russian revolutionaries killed Tsars and Tsarist officials. A Serbian terrorist shot down the Austro-Hungarian royal heir and his wife, triggering World War One. No other murder in human history _ except perhaps that of Julius Caesar _ had such profound consequences. Terrorism will persist because it is a tool of the weak against the strong, a cheap military weapon to achieve expensive political goals. As long as there are people willing to kill to advance their ends, there will be terrorists. Awful enough are attacks on military targets, such as the Marine Corps barracks in Lebanon, the USS Cole on its visit to Yemen, and the Italian military police headquarters in Iraq. Lacking conventional weapons of war, opponents turn to the truck bomb _ horrific, careless of non-combatants, and brutally effective. The Istanbul strikes _ like those in Riyadh, Jakarta, Bali and on the World Trade Center _ were intended to kill non-combatants. The goal is not to resist foreign military power per se, but to murder and terrorise civilians in order to cow peoples and governments. The synagogue bombings mixed the slaughter of innocents with anti-semitism. The latter disease has been around for centuries. The early variants were practised in the name of Christianity, a bizarre justification of what was in fact an assault on that faith's very roots. Without the Jew Jesus, there isno Christianity. There is certainly nothing in his message to justify the Spanish Inquisition, Russian pogroms, or the polite social ostracism often practised in western Christian societies. Today, Christians, especially American evangelicals, have become among the strongest defenders of Judaism, even confusing support for Israelis against Palestinians with support for Jews against persecutors. Nevertheless, a Christian commitment to the life and dignity of all those created in God's image is the strongest barrier possible to anti-semitism: The most monstrous anti-Jewish attack ever, the Nazi Holocaust, grew out of a movement that assaulted authentic Christianity with the same fervour that it destroyed tolerant humanism. That terrorists claim to kill people in the name of God may be the greatest sacrilege. The al-Qaeda linked Abu-Hafs al-Masri Brigades took credit for the Istanbul attacks: ``The remaining operations are coming, God willing, and by God, Jews around the world will regret that their ancestors even thought about occupying the land of Muslims.'' What kind of God urges people to kill other people gathered to worship him? What kind of God urges people to kill other people today because of what their ancestors did before? What kind of God urges people to kill other people, made in his image and of transcendent worth, to advance ephemeral political ends? If this is not the God of Islam, Muslims must speak out. Not just Islamic politicians themselves under attack _ in Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, for instance _ but clerics, imams, teachers and ayatollahs. And common celebrants, those who regularly fill mosques for worship and daily drop to their prayer rugs. Moreover, it is not enough to denounce attacks on Americans and Australians and Turks. It is necessary to denounce attacks on Jews. To say clearly that the God of Islam does not urge the children of Ishmael to murder the children of Isaac. No-one but the enemy gains from turning the war on terrorism into a war between civilisations. But it certainly is a war between the civilised and uncivilised. And after atrocities like that in Istanbul, it is essential that Muslims as well as members of other faiths declare against anti-semitism, the blasphemy that refuses to die. - Doug Bandow is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute in Washington DC.

The Devi, the Madrasi & Dussehraa Smaagam Adapted from article by Bhai Raam Singh jee, Sooraa, March 1989 Translated by Admin www.tapoban.org A memorable story from the 1975 Dussehra Smaagam in Delhi: A resident of Madras was a devotee of the Devi (Goddess). From his childhood according to his family traditions, he had always worshiped the Devi. The Devi became pleased at this loving devotion and worship and then gave him her Darshan (vision) not once but on many occasions. The devotee in his mind was very happy that his worship was successful and the Devi also provided him guidance in all his worldly works. She would stop him from doing any unsuccessful worldly business and guide him towards success. Quite a while passed in this state and the devotee asked the goddess to grant him liberation from the cycle of births and deaths. The Devi replied "This is not in my control." Hearing this, the devotee became disappointed. What did he know that "Deviaa(n) nahee jaanai marm. Sabh oopar alukh paarbrahm" (p. 894) The devotee then said to the Devi, "Where can I find liberation then?" The Devi replied, "When you transfer from this place to another, someone there will give you the lead in this regard. By listening to his instructions you will get what you want. You will also have to change your religion." After some time, the devotee was transferred to Vijiaavaadaa City and upon arriving there, he became eager to know who would lead him, as had been prophesied. One day, a very special Sikh (Heeraa/diamond) of Guru Dashmeesh Jee was doing nitnem. When the BaaNee entered the ears of this Madrasi brother, he felt as if a light current of electricity had passed through his body. He thought to himself, "This has never happened to me before? What has happened here? Is it possible that this Sardar is to be my leader?" He had this thought in his heart when he went to the Singh and asked "Forgive me, what are you reciting? This has given me a buzz through my entire body." The Singh then explained that he was reading the BaaNee of Guru Nanak Dev jee. The Madrasi brother told the Singh about his experience with the Devi and asked "Can you lead me to the path of liberation?" The Singh replied "You've come to the right place. Liberation (Muktee) can only come from Guru Nanak Saahib. For this, you will have to receive amrit with your wife and become a Singh. By the time the Amrit Sinchaar time comes, prepare yourself by learning Gurmukhee and reading BaaNee" This was all the Madrasi had been waiting for and he along with his wife began to learn Gurmukhi and in days began to do Nitnem. Such a colour coloured him that soon he brought home Sree Guru Granth Saahib. The divnely coloured couple even unfurled the Khalsa's Nishaan Saahib over their home and eagerly began to await Delhi's Dussehra Smaagam. By the time Dussehra Smaagam arrived the devotee's wife became a daily reciter of Sukhmani Saahib. Waiting, finally Dussehra arrived. The couple along with their two children arrived in Delhi. Doing Gur Gur, this couple was initiated and became the True Guru's naam abhyaasee Khalsas. Upon receiving the Gurmantar, the khanda of naam began to go by itself. Facing the Guru, he with his own eyes saw the Satguru and was fulfilled for life. "Bhoola Maarag so pvai jis dhur mastak laykhang. Tin janm svaariaa aapNaa jin gur akhee(n) daykhang." (p. 1099). After all this, one may wonder, "What a broken and twisted method the Devi used to lead her devotee! Why didn't she just say 'you will get liberation from the door of Guru Nanak?'" This actually is a very big revelation for us: Guru Nanak's name, or God's Naam, or GurbaaNee, or any words/Shabads uttered from the mouths of the Satgurus can only be uttered in Human life form, not after leaving the Human form. Forget meditating on Naam, gods and goddesses, devis and devtas, cannot even say the name of the Satgurus from their mouths. In such a helpless state, what liberation/muktee can they give to anyone? In his own words, Satguru Sachay Paatshaah who is the Master of Muktee in this era "Mukat Data Satgur joug maahi" asks the Devi: "Too(n) kaheeat hee aad bhavaanee. Mukat kee bareeaa kahaa(n) chhapaanee" (874) Then, we who are in the Human life form should consider ourselves very lucky that we have come to understand that liberation/muktee can only come form the door of Guru Nanak. There is no guarantee on life: "Hum aadmee haa(n) ik damee mouhlat mouhat na jaaNaa" (660) Then we should not delay at all. We should go for Amrit and become complete Singhs and then meditate endlessly on Naam, recite BaaNee and then we should achieve what we have taken human life for and return with a glowing face to the court of God. We should become free from births and deaths and "Tin janm svaariaa aapNaa jin gur akhee(n) daykhang" should be our spiritual state. Otherwise, let it not be that we regret that our short lives have come to an end and we have found ourselves in the situation "RaN vihaaNee pachhtaaNee ouTH chalee gaiee niraas" (134). NOTE: This Singh was a Telegu speaker and dedicated servant of the Goddess. He was peshed in the 1975 Dussehraa Smaagam and received amrit with his family. He was named Bhai Bhajan Singh and his wife was named Bibi Amar Kaur. When they received amrit, it was an amazing sight. On January 27, 1989, Bhai Bhajan Singh returned to the feet of the Guru. The blood-family of these Gursikhs have cut themselves off from them, knowing them to be Sikhs. The family lives in a rented home but they keep Satguru jee in their home with the utmost respect. The couple, alone, would do RaN Sabaaees. They would not drink so much as a sip of water from their relatives' or friends' homes. They were dealing with a situation where their entire worldly family was on one side and their faith on the other. And then fate struck. May Guru jee keep this family steadfast even after the deadly blow of the loss of the father. These poor people have no other support but the Guru and other Sikhs. There are four children. The elder son and daughter were in the 9th grade and the younger in the 5th when this happened. The mother feels sad sometimes, but the children say "Guru Granth Saahib jee is our Baba jee and Father: Mother, don't worry!" The family is receiving some pension from the Military and the AKJ also has begun to send some monthly assistance. Satguru jee himself is the sustainer of his children.

Who r these people (Monay) along with Sant jee???

US SIKH victorious in getting airline's apology [ SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2003 10:49:43 PM ] WASHINGTON : In what may be the first legal victory over a major airline accused of post-September 11 discrimination, a Sikh American has secured an apology from National Airlines. Satnam Dhillon has got what he wanted after being barred from boarding a flight a month after the terrorist attacks. "That's all I wanted from day one," said Dhillon, a resident of Fremont , California . Dhillon missed his business flight to Las Vegas on October 16, 2001 , when, according to him, he was surrounded by six police officers and escorted away from the boarding gate at San Francisco International Airport . He says it was because of his appearance. National Airlines officials at the time said it was because the pilot saw Dhillon make an "obscene gesture". After two years of litigation, the airline issued a new statement, saying it "sincerely regrets" that Dhillon was denied boarding as a result of an "apparent misunderstanding". Civil rights groups have monitored discrimination complaints since the September 11 attacks.

Osama jeers didn't stop Sikh marathon man, 92 http://www.nydailynews.com/11-14-2003/news...3p-121561c.html By AUSTIN FENNER DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Fauja Singh A 92-year-old Sikh man who ran the New York City Marathon wearing his turban endured taunts of "Hey, Osama Bin Laden" and "Look at Saddam" along the 26-mile route. Fauja Singh had decided to run to educate the public about Sikhism, a religion founded in Punjab, India, in the 1500s. He found he still has a long road ahead. "Sikhs are not a part of any other religion. It is its own religion," said Singh, who took 7-1/2 hours to run through the five boroughs on Nov. 12. "I wasn't hurt by it," he said. "Those comments had nothing to do with the race." Singh, a British citizen who lives in London, said that for all the offensive comments there were plenty of cheers and a continuous roar of clapping that kept him focused on the asphalt. "When the people were looking [cheering] at me, I was getting all of their energies," said the nonagenarian, speaking in Punjabi through an interpreter. Yesterday, Singh was awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor by the National Ethnic Coalition Organization, a group that advocates ethnic pride and tolerance. William Fugazy, the chairman of the coalition, said Singh is a symbol of racial tolerance, and his run helps bridge the gap cr eated by the Sept.11 terrorist attacks. "He is the greatest inspiration," said Fugazy, adding that Singh is the first non-American to receive the honor.

Yes he's the previous cheif minister of J&K- Farrooq Abdullah I am surprised to see him with Sant jee. But this man is no good now. He became CM of J& K with support from BJP. I think he was for freedom of kash before. But now he's just for kursi.................i think he is just like badal

on this page of BBC's website which describes about history of Sikhs, I found the lines in red objectionable. Here's the link http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/si.../history4.shtml Here's the article: The Invasion of the Golden Temple As Sikh discontent grew, the conflict gradually changed from a purely political conflict into a confrontation between Hindus and Sikhs; and then to real violence. A Sikh preacher called Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale became the leader of the most disaffected of the Sikhs. He was often portrayed as representing all Sikhs, although, actually, he did not. In 1983 Bhindranwale and his closest followers took refuge in the Golden Temple Complex at Amritsar, the most revered place in the Sikh world. The Indian government believed that the Temple was being used as a militant command post, a sanctuary for wanted criminals and as a warehouse for weapons, and resolved to take action. In June 1984 Indian troops launched "Operation Bluestar". They attacked the Golden Temple Complex, killing many of those inside, and seriously damaging the buildings. The Assassination of Indira Gandhi This invasion of the holiest place of the Sikhs infuriated many Sikhs, even the non-militant. They saw the Indian Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, who had ordered the invasion, as a deliberate persecutor of the Sikh faith and community. In October 1984, Indira Gandhi was assassinated by 2 of her Sikh bodyguards. Anti-Sikh Riots Kill Thousands Four days of anti-Sikh rioting followed in India. The government said more than 2,700 people, mostly Sikhs, were killed, while newspapers and human-rights groups put the death toll between 10,000 and 17,000. Sikhs are still resentful that action has not been taken against all those who were responsible. For several years militant Sikhs responded by killing members of the Hindu community and a number of Sikh political leaders who oppposed them. The anger and frustration dominated Sikh politics until the mid-1990s. The Current Position The 300th anniversary of the Sikh Khalsa in 1999 changed the Sikh community. It was covered positively and approvingly in the Indian (and world) press, which did much to restore Sikh confidence that they were appreciated for their true worth. The Punjab is presently peaceful, although in the last two or three years, the rise of Hindu nationalism, and renewed claims that Sikhism is nothing more than a Hindu sect have given Sikhs cause for alarm

Delhi NGO pitches in to save ancient gurdwara TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2003 04:29:39 AM ] CHANDIGARH: A short distance from the 'Ram janmsthan' in Ayodhya on the banks of the river Saryu lies forgotten gurdwara, housing the holy sandals of Guru Tegh Bahadur and the holy weapons of Guru Gobind Singh and his greatest faithful Banda Bahadur, which is under imminent threat of destruction by the vagaries of the river. For the Brahmkund gurdwara, which gets its name from an ancient temple of Lord Brahma adjacent to it, it may just be a matter of one more Monsoon before it is consumed by the river unless urgent remedial measures are taken to protect it. Azad Hind Foundation, a Delhi-based voluntary organisation, has taken upon itself the task of building a retaining wall to hold back the might of the river and save the gurdwara and temple from destruction. President of the foundation Karttik Chopra on a recent visit to Punjab held discussions with some Sikh religious organisations, including the Sant Samaj, in an effort to drum up support for the cause. Chopra says, "We cannot allow the river to engulf the gurdwara building and wash away the relics and the ancient hand written texts of the Guru Granth Sahib that are kept in the gurdwara. We are basically looking for public support to organise a 'kar seva' for building the retaining wall to save the gurdwara and the ancient temple, which houses a rare four-faced statue of Lord Brahma."

RSS's Rashtriya "Sikh" Sangat may take out nation-wide yatra Times of India Thursday, 16th October 2003 AMRITSAR -- Despite being targeted by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC (Search)), which is claimed as the single representative body of Sikhs and other like minded Sikh bodies for its alleged anti-Sikh viewpoints, the Rashtriya Sikh Sangat (RSS (Search)) an offshoot of Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh is contemplating to hold yatras from birth places of various saints having their 'bani' in Guru Granth Sahib during the fourth centenary of first installation of Guru Granth Sahib celebrations which began September this year. Raghubir Singh, state general secretary, RSS, while talking to TNN on Thursday said that they were contemplating to take out yatras from various parts of India as well as from Paksitan that would conclude at Amritsar. He said they would also urge SGPC to join them in the yatra besides other Sikh bodies like Damdami Taksal etc. Efforts would be initiated to include jathas from native place of Bhai Mardana in Lahore to participate in the yatra, said Satinder Singh Makowal, state cashier of RSS. Raghubir claimed that RSS had earlier taken out a similar yatra during the tercentenary of birth of Khalsa from Patna Sahib (Search) to Anandpur Sahib which was led by Parmanand Ji Maharaj. He claimed that chief of Damdami Taksa, Baba Thakur Singh had welcomed the yatra and had arranged for the langar at Chowk Mehta. Raghubir said like SGPC, RSS was also indulged in propagating Sikhism. However, he agreed that they had not been able to make their base in the rural areas but had increasing acceptanc e in urban areas and smaller townships. Notably a few days ago RSS's state body had a meeting to discuss making its rural base and more acceptance in the villages. Raghubir claimed that due to their vast network RSS was more capable in spreading Sikhism in India. While maintaining about the distinct Sikh identity, Raghubir said that besides Sikhism they also spread message of national integrity. About the differences of SGPC and other Sikh bodies with RSS, sources in organization seeking anonymity said that certain groups having vested interests didn't want that any parallel body representing Sikhs should be allowed to emerge as they wanted to maintain their dominance at the regional level.
