We should stop the sikh times, for including gurbani in there newspapers/magz, but we should allow them to writre the messeages of god as in what they tort, as we stop this we will be on the lossing side

A few points

I think its quite bad how Prem has been attacked here. I think he raises some valid points. Not saying he is right on this, but look at the picture - people have STTM installed on their PC... or view other forms of Gurbani, listen to keertan etc etc but on the same PC will have "bhangra" tracks or other inappropriate material for a Gursikh to have.

Now, yes, we cant police all the PC's but we can boycott those sites such as SikhiToTheMax and so forth like you are willing to do with Sikh Times eh?

Look at Des Pardes, or Awaze Kaum... they are newspapers that are classed largely as "Gurmat-safe"... how WIDE have they got since they began decades back? How much money have they made? How successful are they REALLY? Theyre not. Sometimes to get the message out, you have to speak the language everyone else speaks. Example, look at the Immortal albums and how successful and good they have been in getting the message out to such a wide audience. And you also have youth doing their own remixes of grime or are MC'ing some lyrics. They are using a media form, in that case, music to spread the message.

before anyone starts, i dont condone the use of pornographic material to spread Gurmat at all coz thats just plain wrong. But i would like to see to what degree this so called beadbi has gone to? In India, kissing someone on the cheek innocently on a stage is classed as taboo still. What one person sees as indecent, another may not.

If someone can fully describe the situation with scanned in newspapers to show what we are dealing with here, it would help offer a better analysis.

Forgive my (extremist) mistakes lol

Prem more or less all the panjabi papers do the things you want to stop. write a letter to the oldest and most read panjabi paper in the western world des pardes and ask them to stop jadu toone adverts in a paper that contains gurbani and religious content.

start on them first plz and then turn to the sikh times. sikh times are way down the list !!!

da Sikh Times openly supported Sohi & co in da elections and supported tht thig Powar as well,-

1time when i was reading it dey called Sikh Freedom Fightaz 'terrorists', a jke newspaper i'd ratehr read da Sunday Times,

[Carpe Diem]

Well maybe if more Gursikhs would get into media, journalism and so forth, we would have more of a say...

Mature up guys we don’t need to BAN Sikh times or whatever.. its just that pasting pic's of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Mharaj shouldn’t be posted on newspapers.. Overall they shouldn’t be printed on almost anything.. this here is a picture my driver took from his phone and it gave me.. its from the Times of India News paper. He found it on one of them street shops folded and ripped being used as a dust collector..

Its not like they intend to insult us but if its going to be printed on these newspapers its more than likely to be misused!!! Lets start writing e mails to these companies.. Appropriate ones tho..

Prem too has done his fair share of name-calling in this topic: Jihadi, gutless cowards, macho blowhard, ape Islamists, fascists, Hooligans, etc.

if everyone else is "extremist" then here's the antonym for you:

cautious, insignificant, mediocre, moderate, middle-of-the-road, conventional, conformist, unadventurous and old-fashioned

your belief is that if someone in a position of responsibility or duty still disrespects Gurbani or cannot follow basic Gurmat and is criticised for it then it is the latter that is the "extremist" and you have nothing to say about the former. that seems like a case of Myopia.

Love and Responsibility come hand in hand and those who take up important roles in our community are accountable to both the Guru and Sangat they serve.
