Recommended Posts

Pyareo,

I read this and started crying, my heart and soul are full of dukh right now :'( They cut a pyara Uncle jee's hair and slit his wrists during a robbery at a CVS Pharamcy store in NJ.

My dear brothers and sisters please stand by me and let us fight for Justice, raise more awareness, and pray for & support our pyaray Uncle Jee...

Those veer/bhaina in New Jersey we're really counting on you for the most help...I will send out emails to various Sikh groups, Vicky Singh jee and everyone else please let's write a small note to send out to all our contacts and organisations [sMART, our local gurdwaras, etc].

NORTH ARLINGTON - Two armed men cut the power to a Schuyler Avenue drugstore, herded employees to the back of the store, and sliced off one worker's hair before making off with nearly $5,000 Monday night, police said.

One of the men waited until the CVS closed at 10 p.m. before approaching two employees as they rounded up shopping carts outside, said Police Capt. Louis Ghione.

Meanwhile, another man cut the power lines to the store, he said.

Armed with a handgun and a knife, the two robbers led the two workers into t

he store.

The robbers then cornered a Sikh employee who was wearing a turban, pulled off the turban, and cut off part of the man's long hair while taunting him with slurs, Ghione said. Sikhs are forbidden by their religion to cut their hair, believing it is a gift from God. The man was also slashed on the hand while trying to fend off the attack, Ghione said.

As the robbers emptied the day's receipts from the cash registers, an accomplice kept watch outside the store, Ghione said. Employees described him as white, with blond hair and wearing a white T-shirt.

The man holding the handgun was described as black and about 5 feet 5 inches. He was wearing a dark sleeveless shirt and loose khaki pants and had cornrows in his hair, the employees told police.

The second robber was described as black, about 5 feet 10 inches, and wearing a black mask and a black T-shirt with "I love you" written in red across the front.

Employees did not see which way the robbers fled, Ghione said.

Anyone with information is asked to call (201) 955-5680.

:D I know jee... Thank you veera for your support, and thank you Singh jee for letting the local Gurdwara Sahib know. It just hurts so much, there was NO NEED at all for them to touch this man, even if a robbery. How did cutting this Uncle Jee's hair somehow help their robbery?? They were going to get the money anyway..they did it for their own 'swaad'...waheguru buksh lai...

All I know is 'true is the lord, true is HIS JUSTICE', he will help us through this horrific crime...

with tears OF STRENGTH,

Summeet Kaur

Dear Vicky Singh,

We are equally perturbed by this incident. WE are contacting the authorities and the political leaders. May Waheguru the victim and his family. We also pray for the chardhi kala of the entire panth.

I will keep you informed on the latest details.

Waheguru Jee Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Jee kee Fateh

Attacks on Sikhs in USA especially are increasing since the incident of September 11 . Every time various Sikh organisations take up this issue with local Govt. authorities, and imphasis on doing more PR work wrt informing & educating local people about Sikhism. Unfortunately there is no big success in this matter has been observed.

Everybody in this World is having right for self defense. Our GURU Sahib Jee bless every Sikh a Kirpan for self defense and to protect innocenet and needy. As far as I know, there is no Amritdhari Sikh among those who have been unfourtnatley attacked in USA and other countries.

Sadh Sangat Jee, Why not Sikh Organizations think on following points apart from taking up issues with local authorities and PR work to fight out this problem:-

1. Promoting and inspiring Sikh people (men and women) to connect themselves with GURUJEE by taking amrit and always keeping kirpan as their dress code, teach them gataka to use the kirpan and some fighting techniques like Judo or martial arts in case of emergency for self defense. Regular camps should be organized for this purpose.

2. Taking approval from local authorities for keeping stuff like revolver for self defense by the Sikh people especially in the areas which are more affected with these kinds of incidents.

bhul chuk maaf

Waheguru Jee Ka Khalsa Waheguru Jee kee fateh

    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
