  1. Are you crazy, bro? She's tall, pretty, educated, AND her family is quite well off.
  2. Sounds like you have repressed homosexual tendencies aching to break through to the surface.
  3. If there's doubt, then bring this issue to an end amicably and without any form of tamasha. You don't have to burn your bridges. An overbearing female presence was the first alarm. That type of woman usually unwittingly transfers her behavioural patterns to her daughters. If the girl you're interested in, through no fault of her own, believes that's the norm in all families you WILL be dominated and pushed around after marriage. Her initial docility and agreeable behaviour is standard procedure when hoping to attract a partner through the Punjabi engagement framework. It's a facade that will be discarded once the relationship has been solidified. The missing sister admittedly is none of your business at this stage, but now that you know, it's another warning signal. Don't let your male brain lure you into something unsavoury because you find the girl attractive. Whilst it would be unfair to tar all siblings with the same brush due to the actions of one, you need to judge the situation in a manner that goes beyond, "She's fit so she's perfect in every way." Are you capable of adjudging a woman's relative strengths and weaknesses dispassionately? Hopefully you're strong enough to listen to those doubtful voices that moved you to create this topic, but something tells me you're hoping for replies to encourage you to go ahead with the engagement. I hope I'm wrong.
  4. You aren't them. You never will be the way you're going. The greatest Sikh parcharaks, kathavachaks, and scholars I've heard in my life have never flapped their gums about these figures in the manner that you do. They highlight their deficiencies according to Gurmat. You insult them as if they cut you up in traffic. I'll say it again: you aren't them. There's nothing Sikh about what you're doing. It's demented childishness.
  5. You know why you struggle with focusing on spirituality, curbing Kaam, etc? Because of nonsense like that in bold. You heap such incredible bhaar on yourself without having the kamaai to shoulder such words and opinions. You don't have to agree or like other faiths and their figureheads - i certainly don't when it comes to a few of them - but where do you get the cojones to speak of such figures in that way?
  6. As i said, brother, please identify anything in his compositions that is congruous with the broad framework of teachings of the Islamic faith as it pertains to their ideology and vision for Muslims and non-Muslim humanity in general, in particular that example I've highlighted above. Just one example will suffice.
  7. Again, you seem to be stretching the definitions of these terms to fit your arguments, which is strange. At the time of Jesus, official ordination into rabbinic circles wasn't even a thing. The term rabbi was an unofficial title of honour and respect conferred on a person worthy of that label, and it was more a method of a disciple or student addressing his teacher with the necessary reverence instead of an official certification of a person's level of Jewishness. Equally, he wasn't a member of the Christian clergy, lol, but that's self explanatory. The same principle applies to all founders of various faiths - and other notable personalities - who were born into one particular people but found a "calling" in a set of beliefs that differed from the ways prescribed by the religion of their families.
  8. Self-identified as a Muslim? That's a pretty loose definition. I think you've previously mentioned that to reduce Muslims to one homogeneous bloc is reductive, but you seem to be doing the same thing. What kind of Muslim was he? If his compositions are any indication of his philosophical outlook on life, he wasn't much of a Muslim. If there's anything in the writings of Sheikh Farid Ji that instructs us how to remove semen and blood stains from clothing, i think it's pretty safe to say he wasn't much of a Muslim, according to the criteria established in the Quran and the Hadiths, regardless of whether he self-identified as a Muslim. Rachel Dolzeal, the white American activist and academic, isn't a black woman because she self identifies as one, no matter how much she wishes it were true.
  9. I wouldn't go as far to suggest those religions aren't genuine, or they lack some sort of legitimacy. The main reason for their high number of followers is possibly due to their generally higher population.
  10. Judaism has 17 million followers compared to our 28 mill, and look how they're running tings internationally! Oy vey, maybe they are the chosen people. ?
  11. The Bagrey (isn't it spelled Bagri?) family seem awfully pleased with themselves in their mugshots, lol.
  12. He was as much a practicing Muslim as Jesus was a practicing Jew, or Guru Nanak Dev Ji was a stringent adherent to the Hindu religion. The bani Farid Ji authored makes this fact unequivocally clear.
  13. It was free movement from Algeria to France? Gosh, i never knew that. I assumed it was a similar immigration policy to the one the UK adopted for its former Eastern colonies. I'm not condoning current Algerian actions and attitudes, but from what I've read the French were despicably cruel when they were over there. It's quite horrific the extent to which they held power over those people and that country. All the more baffling as to why they'd be so magnanimous in allowing them access to France in such considerably huge numbers. Was it a desire to atone for past sins?
  14. When the likes of France decided to open their doors to the same third-world people they subjugated and oppressed in the name of colonialism, what on earth were they hoping would happen in the future? Sure, the same could be said for us and a few others, but i think our mentality is slightly different to the likes of the Algerians and others of that ilk. Was the collective guilt for WWII so immense that it destroyed all sense of pragmatism?
  15. I can't decide whether this hesitation to confront these ugly truths is an admirable form of optimism that would put even the most spiritually benevolent to shame, or it's a psychological infirmity that's paralysed their human predisposition for planning ahead in order to deal with all eventual outcomes. Whatever it is, their negligence will result in bloodshed. I don't understand why people cannot sense the simmering tensions that seem to get worse with each passing year. Something must give, and when it does it won't be pretty.
  16. I don't think we in the UK have anything to worry about, as the forummer above has explained in good detail. What is quite disappointing from a Sikh perspective is the fact that a cowardly and ineffectual white establishment sees fit to throw the members of the Sikh religion - a faith that has no precedence in undermining social cohesion in Europe - under the bus, so to speak, for the sake of "fairness" instead of confronting the elephant in the room that is Islam and a certain strand of its followers. Under the devious cover of being seen to be just and fair, they'd rather attack all religious articles of faith rather than single out the one particular faith that has the problem. That's the kind of cowardice we're dealing with here in Europe. Do any of you honestly believe any of these people will stand up for us when the dark times arrive? Of course they won't. We'll only have ourselves to blame if we continue to wallow in a mistaken sense of security.
  17. I ate some purple carrots once in India. I understand there's black carrots in Afghanistan.
  18. Good lad. It's early days, you can't be expected to kick the habit so quickly. It genuinely does sound like you're addicted. I suspect many people are in the same boat but don't acknowledge it as a problem.
  19. Has jacfsingh gone cold turkey? Unless he has exceptional willpower he won't be able to sustain the immediate and overnight halt in internet browsing. Need to wean yourself off or place limits on time spent on such activities. If you're reading this you saucy young whippersnapper, don't be a hero. You can't indefinitely suspend all activity on the net and hope to continue such behaviour forever. Chill.
  20. Yes. Don't get drawn into the West's toxic social and political narrative. Social justice is fundamentally an admirable cause, especially for Sikhs as our faith considers uplifting our fellow man to be a just and noble act. Clearly, there's huge issues with politicising certain causes, and in these cases it can be argued there are those who've overstepped their limits. As I've said many times, the SJW movement is a symptom; who or what is the cause? They're deluded, angry, confused, but ultimately toothless. Don't ally yourself with their opponents out of some mistaken sense of shared ideology. You'll be manipulated into fighting battles that don't concern you. Don't let the zealots on both sides harden your heart and your spirit towards the social good.
  21. Pfft, the imam's probably undercover Mossad. Or he's exhibiting internalised Islamophobia. Everything's fine. Don't worry.
  22. Got to say, some of the fighting is a bit limp-wristed. That one Singh in the red pagh practically minces his way to the front when it kicks off. Too effeminate for my liking. If you're going to kick off, then at least be a man about it. Slapping and thrashing isn't a good look. Nice closed fist to the chin does the trick. And what's with the pagh targetting? If we show such little regard for the turban amongst ourselves, we have no right to complain when non-Punjabis use the same tactics. Committees, lol. They attract some downright scummy individuals. Pretend Sikhs.
  23. I meant those who are reluctant to criticise him in the West; certain media outlets and newspapers of a particular ideological bent, who are hedging their bets afraid that any condemnation of Erdogan and his policies might be considered to be Islamophobic. When the so-called coup of last July was eliminated, the barely contained joy amongst the liberal press in Europe was embarrassing to behold. Anyone with two brain cells could see it was one big stitch-up, yet only now when those few within the country itself have begun to reach out and say, "Maybe Erdogan isn't doing the best thing for Turkey" is there a sense of acknowledging the very thing these idiots refused to see last year. Erdogan didn't even win the support of the three main cities in Turkey, mostly, as others have mentioned, due to the generally metropolitan outlook of their citizens. Gradually as he begins to consolidate power and tighten his grip on the country, those voices of dissent within the country will get louder. This won't end well for Turkey. Long term there are going to be huge problems, and if there is a violent lurch towards outright Islamism, it's only a matter of time until America will wade in, even if it won't be until another 15 or so years. I just feel sympathy for the Kurds. They're going to be targeted in a big way by Erdogan, and nobody is going to come to their aid.
  24. "Aayushmaan, putra, aayushmaan!" One of these days, these guys in the U.S. are going to start spraying bullets over a committee fight. We have our nonsensical fights over the same issues here, but our American cousins are going to take it to the next level.
  25. It'll be amusing to see what justifications certain parties begin to churn out when he starts a Soviet style cracking down on dissent; the whole political opposition / artists / minorities routine that become the victims of these type of regimes. The same people who cheered when the military coup was crushed last year will be wringing their hands in disbelief, asking why nobody is helping those oppressed Turks. Give it another 7 or so years.
