puzzled

when have they ever condemn it? how many muslims do you see out there protesting against terrorist attacks or muslim grooming gangs? none yet when trump was to visit this country throngs of them were out there protesting. deep down a lot of them dont think theres anything wrong with terrorist attacks. when EDL came down to our town to march against a Islamic center being built here, guess who was at the front line protesting against the EDL? yup sikhs! it was absolutely embarrassing! we were like what the f are they doing

do you remember when that massive buddha statue carved in the mountain was destroyed by the taliban same thing happened in pakistan taxilla, ancient Buddhist statues had their faces smashed or altered. i guess this comes from the story of how muhammed smashed the pagan idols at mecca but kept the black box that they walk around. it all goes back to the quran and hadiths everything they do defaced buddha statues in pak

from 2001 Taliban to Enforce Hindu 'Badges' KABUL, Afghanistan – Afghanistan's Taliban rulers already isolated by their harsh brand of Islam and poor treatment of women announced plans to make Hindus wear an identity label on their clothing to distinguish them from Muslims. The hardline Taliban regime that controls 95 percent of this poor Central Asian state plans to enforce the new policy soon, Mohammed Wali, religious police minister, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The plan still must be approved by the Taliban's reclusive leader Mullah Mohammed Omar. The law would also make it mandatory for Hindu women to veil themselves just like Muslim women of Afghanistan, Wali said. The proposal reminiscent of the yellow Star of David that Jews were forced to wear in Nazi Germany prompted an angry statement from Hindu-dominated India. "We absolutely deplore such orders which patently discriminate against minorities," Raminder Singh Jassal, an Indian foreign ministry spokesman, told reporters in New Delhi. "It is further evidence of the backward and unacceptable ideological underpinning of the Taliban." In the central Indian city of Bhopal, dozens of protesters from the Hindu fundamentalist group Bajrang Dal marched Tuesday, shouting angry slogans and carrying an effigy of a Taliban soldier with a beard and a green scarf. "Taliban, die!" some chanted. The National Volunteers Corps, a fundamentalist movement that is the ideological parent of India's ruling Hindu nationalist party, condemned the Taliban. "It is in line with the Taliban's interpretation of Islam, a religion which divides humanity into two: the believers and the infidels," said Baburao Vaidya, a spokesman for the corps, known by its Hindi acronym RSS. "We criticize the very fundamentals of Islamic tenets," he told The Associated Press. The decision could further isolate the orthodox Islamic militia, already under fire from the West for alleged discriminatory policies toward ethnic and religious minorities, human rights abuses and poor treatment of women. In recent years, many Hindus and other members of religious minorities have left Afghanistan because of Taliban policies. Wali said the latest Taliban move is in line with Islam. "Religious minorities living in an Islamic state must be identified," the minister said. The Taliban have not yet decided what sort of an identity label Hindus will have to wear, he added. There are at least 5,000 Hindus living in Kabul. Thousands of other Hindus live in other Afghan cities, but there are no reliable figures on exactly how many. The new law will be meant for only Hindus because there are no Christians or Jews in Afghanistan and Sikhs can be easily recognized by their turbans, Wali said. However, at least one Jew is known to live in the Afghan capital of Kabul and there may also be some Christians. It was unclear whether foreigners living in Afghanistan would be required to wear the identity label. Anar, an Afghan Hindu in Kabul who uses just one name, said he does not want to wear a label identifying him as Hindu. "It will make us vulnerable and degrade our position in the society," he said. But Munawaar Hasan, general secretary of a major Islamic political party in neighboring Pakistan called Jamaat-e-Islami, or Islamic Party, said the move seems aimed to give protection to Hindus. "The Taliban should win praise for this step,' he said. "Providing protection to religious minorities is a must in any Islamic country and this step seems in line with this concept." The Taliban follow a harsh version of Islam that bars women from most jobs and education, and makes it mandatory for men to wear beards and pray five times a day. All forms of light entertainment, including television and music, are outlawed. The Taliban drew worldwide criticism when in March they destroyed two ancient statues of Buddha in central Bamiyan, calling it their religious duty. Most of the Islamic world, including pro-Taliban Pakistan, differ with the Taliban regime's narrow interpretation of Islam and say that it is tarnishing Islam's image. The Taliban face U.N. sanctions for giving protection to Saudi billionaire Osama bin Laden, wanted by Washington for allegedly running a global terrorist network. The Taliban deny the charge and say the United States has no evidence against him.

so true! didn't realize that, difference is its still continuing for the afghan sikhs

I dont know many afghan sikhs I get my laptop and phone fixed from one but iv never asked about the situation there, its tricky to ask stuff like that! The little I know was from 1 that I worked with.

The guy I knew told me it was Taliban that ruined everything he called them pench*ds lol He said most them owned businesses and were well off but they were still treated like crap by the muslims But I too have heard that their situation was a bit better when taliban was around. Like every community I guess there was political differences among them aswell ...

Most these things can be found in jewish history, they used to stone people etc then the Christians adopted the same thing and then later the muslims. Though jews have been keeping it low key since ww2 ....

I remember watching a video of a Afghan sikh and he said that the Taliban made them wear yellow stars so that they could be identified as non muslims, this is the exact same thing the nazis made the Jews do These 3 religions use the same things

Odd prance? lmao mate they layed the foundation of british bhangra scene got OBEs from the queen for it, which Kenyan sikhs absolutely love getting, and been prancing around since then. They the ones that got the the panth synonymous with it with is them their Kenyan paghs. Like I said man playing dhol with Kenyan pagh and peirced eyebrow is the image of british bhangra. If theres one community that is drifting further away from sikhi in the uk with dwindling sangat levels in their gurdware which is no secret then dont look too far, from all the communities the youth from that community has the least interest in sikhi with even the bazurgs with trimmed beards and goatees. The committees need to stop spending money building jassa Singh ramgharia statutes and ramgharia dance halls and be more concerned about the lack of interest among the youth in that community. Otherwise the collapse ain't too far

you can see where muslims get their ideas from

the goans that are so proud of their Christianity were subject to the same torture during the goan inquisitions thats how they became christians

Christianity torture methods millions died like this actual torture mechanisms this was inserted into genitals! queen mary1 queen of england burnt protestants alive

yh their god ordered them to carry genocides on other tribes. their all the same all 3 of them.

so true! christianity created so much zulm in this world, people often look at the little old ladies in church and think thats how Christians have always been. christianity has casued more death in history than any other religion. christians used to set women on fire accusing them of being witches the Spanish inquisition, one of the most horrific torture methods that make islamic torture look pale, the priests used to order large pyramids to be inserted into the females genitals till they were torn apart. look at the goan inquisitions the puritans they used to shave the hair of widows and call children born outside of marriage b@stards they arrived at the shores of many countries with the cross in their hand and carried out genocide on the natives the popes have the bloody history, the popes are responsible for the death of millions Christianity was barbaric it served a political purpose and no longer does so thats why they are fast dumping it sikhs need to know about this stuff, christians are taking advantage what Christianity was in the past is what islam is today.

113 just died in the UK death toll is now 578!

muslims and christians are anticipating for the last days, they believe the end will come once their religion is the main religion of the world and then the messiah jesus will return and destroy the dajjal/antichrist and then all people will be raised from their graves and the people from their religion will be saved while every1 else will be sent to hell but b4 this they need to convert as much of the world to their own religions

they believe the end will come when all the nations believe in jesus and the gospel. Christians are anticipating for the last days becoz thats when jesus is gnna return, thats why christians are very pro israel because they believe jesus will return once the jews have returned to their promised land and built the temple. thats why they are going around converting every1 the bible told them to do it. Matthew 24:14 NKJV “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

i didnt know about prof Puran Singh until last year. Puran Singh was born into a sikh family but converted to buddhism and then some yogi tradition, he then eventually came back into Sikhi.

its important to know what other religious txts like the islamic ones say about non muslims then you know what their motive is and why they behave the way they do. jesus told christians to spread the gospels is they want to enter heaven

it wasnt even socially acceptable for a jatt to sing and thats why most the singers in the old days were chamars with tarkhan females like amarjot who ran away with chamila and ranjit kaur who sang with mohd sadiq mohinder kaur bhamra and so on jatts didnt get properly involved till the 90s interesting how that was around the time when the khalistan/kharku movement collapsed in punjab, thats why conservative attitudes need to come back. a reform needs to come around similar to to the islamic revolutions but obviously with a sikh mind set.

well it aint that easy being locked in. where i live theres normally a lot of ronak with people always out and about socializing especially in this beautiful weather.

funny you say that when the pioneers of britsh punjabi bhagra were tarkhans from kenya, the british bhangra scene is associated with kenyan style turban wearing men! ks bhamrah founder apna sangeet, johnny kalsi founder alaap, surinder pardesi founder pardesi group, kuljit bhamra pioneer of british bhangra scene even got obe from the queen for his contribution, the scene was found by kenyan sikhs. bally sagoo, indy sagu, sukhbir singh etc and the list goes on you guys run the british bhangra scene iv been to kenyan sikh weddings and the stuff you see on the dance floor especially the women would make any jatt party look like a teddy bears picnic , this whole nachana tappana is associated with kenyan sikhs this is what you see in your british punjabi music videos, gigs and shows

police are everywhere people r finding it hard to stay inside though it is difficult yesterday i went highstreet to buy a few things and there were some eastern Europeans sitting on the benches and an asian poilceman came riding on a bike and told them to go home, he was polite and called them brothers and told them it is very contagious we normally have a lot people around here just hanging about and stuff but they all being told to go home

its either kabul or jalalabad i cnt remember. most of them live within the gurdwara complex. originally different surnames came from different parts of the country, like the chopras were from jalalabad i knew this afghna guy he told me that but now they all live together.
