This is a forum and everyone is entitled to an opinion

Why people are accusing people of being muslim and using derogartory language is beyond me.

Why bring yourself to such a level that our gurus would be ashamed of you. And what if she isn't muslim.

Business lady, I know you have the opinion that having keeping bodily hair is unhygienic but understand that you have just called alot of people on here unhygienic which as you may already have guessed is extremely offensive.

You need to use your common sense and refrain from making offensive comments towards people, especially people from religion that teaches us to defend ourselves to the end.

Others may not be as mellow as people on this forum so I'd advise you to learn from this.

BL and other local786 (same person with 2 ids) were not here to learn about sikhism, though many members gave them excellent replies about basic principles of sikhism. They were here as troll and wanted to make mockery instead of learning. There are two big differences between a person who want to learn and the person who wanted to act as learner but have other motives.

Yes that is tru bro.. but one got to stay within the limits of forum rules.

think about it business lady, if this path was right for you, you would have been born into it. simple as that. and for those people who say "oh there are white sikhs too". well lets leave that to another topic, growing your hair doesnt make you sikh.

Are you joking?

Yeh you must be, gosh i thought you were being serious for a second!

And I was thinking what about all the sikhs during our 10 gurus lifetimes that were hindu and muslim and turned to sikhi, as well of the countless numbers in modern times aswell who were born into diff religions but are now 100 times more true to sikhi than most people born into sikh families!

Among 100 other examples heres one that may seem small but hit me in a big way! I remember sitting in a langar hall in southall and watching an oriental looking sikh sit down with his food.

He was the only one in the whole hall (which was packed that day) that sat for a minute and thanked god for his food. It took my breath away! Almost everyone else was sat down talking loudly, a few guys at the back were whistling at some girl walk in and then there was this guy, quiet and almost unnoticable sitting there looking completely oblivious to it all, in his own little world praying with such devotion and love, the peace, calm, gratitude and love that he radiated was awe inspiring!

He changed my life and whenever I remember I try to do the same although I know in my heart I could probably never be as dedicated as him!

Ok I'm a girl and I understand, and she def shouldn't have put that opinion forward, but still to assume someones muslim like that and call them a troll is so completely out of order. How would this assumption sit with any muslim who came on here wanting to know about sikhi, I've been on loads of muslim forums to learn about their religion and when they ridicule sikhs it hurts.

When people see hate thrown around like that they're not gonna feel comfortable posting on here.

    • Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.
    • You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
    • You don't need to wear either a pag or dumalla in the gym. You can simply wear a meter or 1.5m small turban (gol pagg or round turban). It doesn't come off.
    • The reason you don't see anything wrong with it is because like a fish in water, you grew up in Western culture and imbibed it fully. It's very difficult to for parents to inculcate traditional culture while in the West. The reason there is a problem is because a kiss between a man and wife is a sexual act (I didn't say it's coitus, but it's still sexual.) By contrast a kiss between a mother and a child, for example, is not sexual. And in our culture, sexual acts are not allowed in public. Goras do allow it. And that's also the reason they have gay pride parades now with people walking around naked with children in attendance and so forth.
