Oh my days I got a question to lads that are in situations like this are you a man or a mouse? It's understandable that a few blind and stupid girls fall in the trap but when you hear about boys being "forced" to convert, it makes you question are you a spine-less puff?

Disgrace to ALL Sikh Singhs - whether your Kesdharee or non Kesdharee. Learn to rumble.

Exactly. The guy needs to stand up against his Muslim friends. If he can't fight those Muslims by himself, then I am sure some Sikhs are willing to help him out.

Plenty of UK Sikh boys know how to rumble - believe me. But going to prison and all that jazz messes you up here. Besides the rest of the majority get all......mamas boy on you.

theres been quite a few topics of conversions ect. but theres a Sikh male at uni that is being pressurised to convert to islam. he's a outgoing, mona boy and somehow he's been mixing with a group of extremist at uni.

i saw him a couple of times in the Gurdwara on Vaishaki. but he told me not to tell the group of muslims that are trying to convert him. as they dont want him to go to the Gurdwara.

im not sure how to advise him or what to do.

Thats the first step. Now you know then please get help for him Get in touch with http://www.sasorg.co.uk/about.html

This account was taken in March 2007 by a student of Queen Mary University, East London. (name withheld, can be provided on request). Luckily this student had helped in making www.sikh4life.co.uk so was well able to respond. These fanatics specifically target those without turbans and girls.

In his own words:

· Started off by saying, why don’t you come along to the lecture (about islam) its free, anyone can come. We said no and just sat down to eat. After a while they came over to us and started preaching.

· Islam the only religion that been scientifically proven, it has only been discovered that the universe is expanding and it says in the quran that “the earth and sky were once joined” so they are using this as proof for the big bang theory.

· Also said that it is the only religion that can be proved by facts and that all other religions such as Christianity have been misinterpreted along the way. Then I said well how can Sikhism have been changed as the original bir is still in the Golden temple… he said that so is the kuran!

· Said that Sikhism was created out of hinduism and islam, and obviously when I corrected them he had nothing to say

· He said that he didn’t agree with 9/11 but that it could be justified because America are killing lots of people in iraq (if someone was killing your parents then you would be allowed to fight back) also said that hopefully the suicide bombers are in paradise now

· When all else failed he said that it was the fastest growing religion, why is this? If so many people are joining it must be right. I said that look at so many people supporting Hitler during world war two, were they all right? No, because of propaganda.

· Said at the end of the day its all about one God, Islam is the right way to reach it because all the facts are there. Said that in the quran there is one passage that cannot be measured by any type of poetic meter or anything and this proves that it is the word of God!! How stupid and ignorant!

........end of transcript...........

Lets remember not to hate others, and protect ourselves from those groups intent on attacking us.

Thanx for sharing this with us........he's definitly on road to conversion (not by will), it's the result of lack of knowledge and also the sangat he's in. But the posotive thing is that he still goes to gurdwaras like u mentioned on vaisakhi etc. so maybe u can give him some company, talk him to on msn etc talk abt religion and know his views, and then tell him abt sikhi and how it's difference fron islam. And also present the true pic of islam. Encourage him to join these sikh forums and also introduce to us. Maybe he's isolated from sikh sangat and has ended up wiv muslims and from there it's hard to come back especially if u are ignorant abt ur own religion (i m saying frm my personal experience)

If we don't help him out at this moment, he'll be the next one being paraded on stages labelled as "sikh convert to islam" and openly ridiculing sikhi on stages. So better, let's educate him and get him out of that trap, than protesting later.

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
