To quote (but do visit the URL) from that post:

"We extend a very warm thanks;

It rained, hailed and at times became very windy, all of this combined did not have enough strength to break the courage of the individuals in Ontario who wanted to make a difference in the fight against abolishing the death penalty. All of the 8 Ontario protests faced harsh weather conditions; however, this did not stop the determined and passionate individuals. I would like to formally thank all of the individuals that participated and supported the fight against abolishing the death penalty and for the release of the innocent Professor Davinderpal Singh Bhullar. We would like to mark the outstanding efforts of protest organizers at each city locations, with their hard work and dedication we were able to make this event a national success. Outlining the importance of freeing innocent individuals is a battle that cannot stop here; these protests marked the beginning of a battle to free the innocent and to abolish barbaric torture and death penalty practices across the world. We thank the Sikh Federation (UK) for provoking thought and inspiring young individuals all across the world. We would like to thank the affiliate Sikh Student Associations; U of T (Mississauga), Ryerson University, York University, University of Toronto, University of Western Ontario, University of Waterloo, University of Guelph, University of Ottawa, University of Queens, University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University for their hard work in organizing the protests for their respective communities in Canada. We would like to encourage everyone to join the petition campaign below to strengthen our battle against freeing an innocent man and abolishing the death penalty.

We would like to thank:

Erindale Campus Students Union, Students Admin Council U of T, United Sikh Federation, Sikh Federation (UK), Amnesty Intl, World Coalition Against the Death Penalty, and other organizations who we have supported us from day one.

Sincerely,

Jasdev Singh

Canadian Organization of Sikh Students "

Despite the conditions they turned up - that is the Sikh Spirit.

For those who didn't or couldn't - maybe next time?

    • 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.
