Gurujee Saved Me

Islam if followed the right way is not all that bad. I mean Guru Nanak Ji would join prayers with muslims and hindu's in the name of God... so praise of God can only be a gud thing.

But when laws are taken out of context and applied to persecute or discriminate those who do not follow Islam then it becomes an unholy practising of faith. And must be challenged...

Take the month of ramadan, its nice to see muslims acting all pious for approx 30days of the year but after it they continue commit evil deeds and await for ramadan again to "awash their sins away" and so the cycle continues, which is kind of pathetic and hypocritical as they can't even respect the religious rights of others to praise/worship God in their own way.

With respect brother maybe you have had good experience with muslims. Unfortunately most British Sikhs have not, as Pakistani / Bengali Muslims in UK are generally not very tolerant or willing to engage other communities in good nature. They want conflict because they think their faith is supreme and want to impose it on others.

The only way you can deal with people like that is by force not by understanding or trying ignoring them, this they see as a sign of cowardice therefore losing respect in their eyes. If they are challenged and made to fear you they rarely dare to see you as a target, that is the way nature works my friend. Look at Sikh history, Sikhs were persecuted by Muslim fanatics because our forefathers were peaceful and did not retaliate. When Sikhs took up arms Muslims had their rule destoryed and their attacks did not go unavenged. Had Sikhs followed the same genocidal practices of muslims, we would have wiped Islam from the most of northern India and perhaps from afghanistan. But because our faith respect the rights of other religious minorities we let them live and practise Islam when Sikh's had and empire to rival most european states of the day.

I only respect Sufi verion of Islam and other the spiritual aspects of it that is consistent with Sikhism... apart from that I see it nothing but posion feeding young minds with racism and haterd against non-muslims.

Dear veerji,

i m not asking of taking strong measures against anybody coz we are not at our place etc. guruji says that be froceful only when all other alternates ends and u are left with no other option... i can very well understand that punjabi blood is always boiling and same is true with me too..... but still calm thinking is a way of thinking...... what if u do harm to muslims they try to harm u and who gets affected by that those who have nothing to do with it..... so fighting is not the end of anything...... so also if u r in a foreign country this will people bad expression of sikh community.... let them know that we are peace loving co mmunity and other are wrong in their behaviour... we have to make a example for others to think postiive for us.....

    • Part of the problem is the hostilities between India and Pakistan. If the border were open, Amritsar would easily become a huge trading city. Secondly, the National Highways Authority of India is constructing a new 6-lane expressway from Kashmir, through Amritsar/Jalandhar/Ludhiana to Dehli which will be part of the Ludhiana-Delhi-Kolkatta Industrial Corridor.  Maps of the New Silk Road show Kolkata as a key part of the "road". The Punjab to Kolkata expressway and rail connections will fulfill the ability to hook up to the New Silk Road.  In addition, while crossing to Pakistan via AH1 (Asian Highway 1) is difficult, India does connect to AH1 on the other side, towards the East. Finally, Punjab can trade with the world via Mundra port in Gujurat. Rail to Mundra, then sea onwards. Dubai is very close with a free port. If you send products to Iran, there are ground links onward to Europe.
    • Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.
    • You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
    • You don't need to wear either a pag or dumalla in the gym. You can simply wear a meter or 1.5m small turban (gol pagg or round turban). It doesn't come off.
    • The reason you don't see anything wrong with it is because like a fish in water, you grew up in Western culture and imbibed it fully. It's very difficult to for parents to inculcate traditional culture while in the West. The reason there is a problem is because a kiss between a man and wife is a sexual act (I didn't say it's coitus, but it's still sexual.) By contrast a kiss between a mother and a child, for example, is not sexual. And in our culture, sexual acts are not allowed in public. Goras do allow it. And that's also the reason they have gay pride parades now with people walking around naked with children in attendance and so forth.
