I don't know why Sikhs are getting so involved in this RSS-Christian tussle. Both are dangerous to Sikhs and latter more so because they have the financial support of the richest countries in the world. The Pope claimed that this century will be the Asian century when they will make all out efforts to convert people from India and China to Christianity. In China the Christians due to negilible opposition from the Budhists are making great leaps and they are trying the same in India. Just as the RSS are experts in distorting Gurbani to suit their agenda the Christians are the same. They have distorted Gurbani to try and show the Jesus was the Guru of Guru Nanak.

Some advice to Sikhs. Worry about the effect of Christian propaganda against Sikhi and take a leaf out of the RSS book on how to counter the Christians. The violence against Christians is overhyped by the leftist media in India. Most the RSS work in in parchar against the Christians amongst the vunerable tribals. Most of the Christian preachers in India are trained in American evangelical colleges where they are taught that if they shout the loudest it means that they have won the argument. These preachers send back reports like '2000 baptisted in one week' in order to gain more funds. This gives their backers in the US the feeling that they have managed to save 2000 souls and allows them to do more fundraising to save more souls! One can only imagine the depression these backers get when they read reports of '2000 reconverted back to Hinduism'.

One should also get some perspective and read some of the horror stories that come out of the Christian majority states in the north east and Christian persecution of non-Christians tribals.

Bloody christmas to you all by hindu terorists

Hindu Terorists ransack churches and masscare christians in India

Twelve village churches were burned and ransacked in eastern India over Christmas as Hindu terorists attacked members of the Christian minority.

many people have died and more were injured in the violence in Orissa state.

It was sparked after Hindu hard-liners objected to the scale of a Christmas Eve prayer vigil, according to the Catholic Bishops Conference in New Delhi.

More than 450 police had to be deployed to quell the violence, which saw groups of Hindus rampaging through villages in the Kandhamal district, burning the mud and thatch village churches and did nothing insted aided the terorists.

By yesterday afternoon police said the worst of the violence appeared to have subsided.

However, local Christian leaders accused the state authorities of failing to intervene quickly enough, drawing comparison with the anti-Muslim riots in Gujarat in 2002, which left more than 1,000 dead and were state-sponsored according to human rights groups.

"I feel the government has allowed them to continue this sort of thing somehow, because I am afraid they are repeating what happened in Gujarat in the last two-three years," Raphael Cheenath, the Archbishop of Bhubaneswar, the state capital, told local television.

The violence is part of periodic flare-ups between Christians and followers of India's dominant religion who accuse the missionaries of trying to convert low-caste Hindus.

Missionary activity is a source of serious tension in parts of India where hard-line Christian groups talk of "liberating" low-caste Hindus.

Rising anti-missionary sentiment has caused several Indian state governments to pass anti-conversion laws which India's Christians - who represent 2.5 per cent of the country's 1.1 billion population - are fighting in court.

i agree so much with proactive brother!

[proactive]

Yeah, I heard that even Santa Claus had to get police protection to deliver the presents to all the children who had been good this year.

Hindus aren't the only ones who don't seem to like Christmas. The Jews aren't that happy about it either!

Imagine being a parent having to explain to your kids that they Santa didn't come to your house because the Israelis beat him up!

Hindutva Forces Convert Church into Gurudwara in Punjab

Bajrang Dal activists converted a Christian church into a gurudwara in Lehragaga of Sangrur district of Punjab on April 10, 2007. Later Sikh leaders came to the rescue of the Christians.

Sources told the All India Christian Council (aicc) that Pastor Malok Singh from Lehragaga was falsely accused of rape by Bajrang Dal activists. He was arrested under 109 section of the India Penal Code (IPC) and remained in jail until he was bailed out on April 18, 2007.

In connection with the allegation against Pastor Singh, Bajrang Dal activists numbering over 100 came and attacked the church. Aicc was told that church furniture was broken and musical instruments were stolen, A Granth Sahib (Sikh religious scripture) was placed inside the church, holy reading of Granth Sahib was conducted, and church signboard was changed into Gurudwara Sahib.

It has also been reported that Bibles were torn inside the church and large number of Christian literature was taken by two lorries to undisclosed place and reportedly burned.

A source said that Sikh leaders along with police personnel restored the church by removing the Granth Sahib placed inside the church.

Church members have filed a complaint against the Bajrang Dal activists at Lehragaga Police Station for provoking enmity among two religions of Christianity and Sikhism. The complaint against the culprits was lodged under the IPC sections 295, 452, 447, 506, 148, and 149 on April 11, 2007.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Mr. Balraj Singh reported to the aicc that the District Magistrate has set up an enquiry commission under the leadership of Sunam Sub-Divisional Magistrate to submit a report within two weeks.

No arrests of Bajrang Dal activists have been reported, while pastor Singh was arrested within short time of the complaint against him.

Pastor Singh reported to the aicc that he was severely beaten up in the police station and forced him to accept the allegation against him. He said that a girl was brought by Bajrang Dal activists to his house and then Bajrang Dal activists locked the door from the outside and accused him of rape.

According to a source, Bajrang Dal had a meeting at Lehragaga on April 18, 2007 and submitted a memorandum to the District Magistrate to sack the District Superintendent of Police for performing his assigned duty to protect the Christian minorities.

Rashtriya Swayamseva Sangh, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Bajrang Dal and Bharatiya Janata Party activists have been telling Sikh communities the false allegation that Christians are forcefully converting Sikh communities into Christianity. Hindutva leaders have called for an anti-conversion law in the state of Punjab .

The All India Christian Council (www.aiccindia.org), birthed in 1998, exists to protect and serve the Christian community, minorities, and the oppressed castes. The aicc is a coalition of thousands of Indian denominations, organizations, and lay leaders
