i agree with Beginner...

in general muslims are the first to make trouble for sikhs, they have made several attempts to draw negative attention to the kirpan... they dont support our religious freedoms so why are there members of sikh sangat following in upinder's footsteps?

the halal ban has been looked at from the perspective of infringement on religious freedom (even though a previous user has rightly stated that eating halal meat is not compulsory in islam - this view is also supported by the renowned islambic peacher zakir naik),.... now how about we look at infrigements of animal rights?!..

Not all Muslims agrees with the belief that you can just say bismillah over haram food and all the sudden it becomes halal for you. I know MANY people who only eat halal meat and believe eating meat that wasn't slaughtered Islamically is haram. I'm personally of this persuasion. I guess those people will either have to move to another country or never eat meat again. As for the Jews, it is absolutely required of them to only eat their kosher meat so I feel really bad for them.

There was a time when the muslims wouldnt let sikhs and hindus eat non halal meat. throughout the times of our gurus, even upto pre-partition panjab.

A sikh from afghan told me that they were banned from killing animals non halal method as well.

so i personally wouldnt worry much if they were banned from doing halal. it should give them a minute to think about how they behave against minorities.

Are the Muslims in Europe responsible for the actions of Muslims in Afghanistan? Are Sikhs in America responsible for Sikhs in India? If Sikhs support the halal/kosher meat ban, they are just as bad as the Muslims they criticize who support jhatka meat ban.

you missed my point. i wasnt saying that any meat is halal providing they say bismillah over it.

my point was, that if halal meat is not available, there are other non meat foods they can eat. - although muslims can eat halal meat, they do not have to, it is not a requiremnet that they must eat it. for example, if halal meat is not available, there are other alternatives, such as halal vegetables.

also the video report said they can have halal imported (frozen). halal (hopefully) will only be banned in the country. i think thats very fair. im not about to cry a river.

Muslims are suppose to eat the slaughtered meat on Eid. Will they ban that too...? (I'm being serious here.)

This is a typical response from Muslims, they want all the benefits and rights in the west but either feign ignorance of the discrimination that non-Muslims face daily in Muslim countries or like you did just claim that they are not responsible for the actions of Muslims in Islamic countries. This is hypocrisy at it's very worst. Where is their belief in the global Ummah? Why do Muslims in the UK burn poppies and UK and USA flags because these countries are in Iraq and Afghanistan?

What do you suppose I do...? How am I responsible for people I've have never met, people I have nothing in common with except the label 'Muslim'?

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
