The Dutch Abandon Multiculturalism.

[VanHelsingh]

As far as I know Sikhs aren't doing anything in Europe that poses a threat to their culture/civilization. Islam has Shariah Law, and nothing remotely close exists in Sikhi. If they (Muslims) are not going to integrate, then can you really blame the Europeans?

This should have been done 10-20 years ago. Better late then never though, let's just hope it has a significant impact.

Once governments realise they can get away with banning (or at least placing curbs on) religious attire for Muslims, they'll try it again and with another minority group. It doesn't take a huge leap to see over-sensitive White Europeans asking for the Sikh kirpan to be banned because it could potentially be used to hurt someone.

I don't agree with it, but if a precedent is set then certain people will try to push the boundary as far as possible. You can bet your bottom dollar some bitter Muslims will ensure Sikhs are also made to suffer (by lobbying government or even raising issues in public arenas) if they themselves have had certain religious freedoms taken away.

Very true. I support the integration of minorities. But I feel that if or when they put a ban on Islamic style dress, we Sikhs will also become a victim of such a legislation. It's hard to imagine that Muslims will be targeted and Sikhs will be left alone. When Goras turn anti Islamic chances are they will they also turn against us. The west is seeing the rise of a new fanatical form of secularism in which religious minorities are prime targets. Take for example that nut case in Canada Tarek Fatah. He is an extreme secularist to such an extent that he is against his own people the Muslims. But he is not just restricting his extreme form of secularism to Muslims. Today he is also on the forefront of opposing Sikhs especially on the Kirpan issue.

This new form of extremist secularism is not a positive development as far as Sikhs are concearned. This is the type of extremism that has led to anti Sikh laws of France. The scary part is the western media seems to be sympathetic to this new form of extremist secularism. I don't know where the west is headed. But things don't look good, especially for Europe.

Well if things continue in the same pattern, taking everything into account, the logical conclusion at the end of it all might very well be what Guru Ji suggested. I'm sure we can all agree that those who have co-opted religion for anti-religious purposes haven't helped matters. But these western governments are throwing the baby out with the bath water. To use another laboured analogy, instead of removing a rotting tree from the forest, they're setting fire to the entire forest! Fools.

Good for them, they could take it a step further and freeze Muslim immigration altogether as well. If the Muslims really are causing that much trouble then it ain't worth the trouble. Plenty of other places to get immigrants and have a better chance of integrating them as well.

All of Europe needs to follow this measure if they want to save their civilization. Hopefully Canada and America will take note as well.

and who do you think would be the next target ey?? Sikhs are the next in line based on religious attire
