Sunny Hundal Traitor To Sikhs?


Recommended Posts

KharkooSingh

Making death threats, carrying out acts of violence or making threats to carry out acts of violence, articulating a narrow minded conspiracy theory view of the world, discussing other religions in hateful terms, slandering individuals who you disagree with ---------- all of these things are like the acts and rhetoric of fanatics rather than people who can talk seriously about issues in a rational way. They are the ways and manners of Islamic fanatics!

Sikhs are just one more 'riot' away from being viewed as nothing but Mini Muslims - that should be a warning to people to act more MATURE about criticism and issues facing us.

We are already beleagured in image - innocent Sikhs being mistaken for Muslims. We don't need to create an image of belligerence or intolerance that does nothing for our faith or well being of Sikhs living in vulnerable places in the West.

I agree with prem

you can't just curse people because they have a diferent viewpoint to you.

Sunny Hundal has a right to his viewpoint you can't just slate him as an enemy of the sikhs, what you guna do pull out a fatwa on him.

If you are comfortable with your beleifs and not insecure then you can listen to other peoples opinions without getting angry, frustrated or violent about it or feel as though you are being attacked.

discussion is what promotes knowledge and understanding and also you have to learn to respect other peoples beleifs and opinions even though you may think they are wrong. When you can show this kind of maturity then people will have more respect for what you are saying.

It's not just on these forums. It's in the real world where I chat to people and hear this kind of thing. And if you think that this thread, it's content, it's rhetoric, it's title, it's subject and language, is in any way a measured or responsible way to deal with the issue of opposing someone whose views you disagree with, you are missing something. Responding to provocation or opposition in a non rational 'mini muslim' way is utterly self defeating and it causes more problems than it solves.

As I say, we are utterly misrepresented and marginalised - we need to display tolerance, maturity and peacefulness in our language and argument.

Exactly! This guy writes for the Guardian, the Financial Times, other newspapers. He might come from a Sikh background but he does not practise Sikhi - so what?

So this is the image Sikh Supreme wants to spread - that a successful journalist is a 'traitor' because he disagrees with him - wow! Well done! Why don't you just slander Sikhs some more by acting just like those fanatical Muslims who put fatwas on everyone - that's a great image to portray of Sikhs in England! Just what we need at this moment in time!

Like I said, some people seem determined to portray through their lack of rationality that Sikhs are nothing but Mini Muslims - intolerant, fanatical, full of hatred.

Mr. Prem when referring to religious fanatascism can you avoid using the world Muslim

Why? Muslim fundamentalists are the most prominent group of fanatics currently operating in the UK and like it or not, we live in their shadow. And whenever we act in a way that mimics their ethos and methods, Sikhs as a whole get portrayed in that light.

It adds to the problems of misrepresentation and fear we already face.

I DO NOT WANT SIKHS PORTRAYED IN THAT LIGHT

Do you?

    • Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us. 
    • My wife will be going for an MRI scan next week but her Kara won’t physically come off.  Is there any way the mri scan can be done with the Kara still on?  The alternative is we will have to try to saw it off before the scan.  
    • was researching this and came back to this thread. Also found an older thread:    
    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
