Christians interrupt Sikh Funeral in the US, seek converts

March 4, 2004, 2:36 am

San Jose, Feb. 29, 2004

The American GI Forum Hall was packed with hundreds of mourners as members of the huge Sikh community of the Bay Area gathered for the funeral service of Hari Singh and Satnam Singh, two of the three people, who were killed by a gunman in a high-profile attack the previous Sunday. Speaker after speaker came up to address the grieved for their lost loved ones and prayed for their families.

However, members of Indian Christians United (ICU) took this advantage of the Sikh community in mourning as an opportunity to convert them. Brother Younis Masih and two other Punjabi converts walked on top the stage and announced they would be playing a gospel song. Younis then walked to his harmonium, one sat down with a tabla, and the third held a Bible.

In the following minutes, the Christian converts inappropriately began singing to Christian songs, preaching the virtues of Christianity over Sikhism and read two passages from the Bible. Younis spoke in fluent Punjabi in an attempt to convert as many Sikhs as possible.

im sorry to say this but any religions based on the need to convert as many people as possible and thinking conversion is part of a game is ludacris, both christianity and islam is like this and i get offended when people leave the Sikh religion (not that they were true Sikhs anyway) and get tricked into other religions

the "christians" trick them by pretending to be punjabi and the muslims wear karas and speak punjabi to lure our gurls into th wrong path.

The worst thing is that people actually convert :lol: @ @ :wub: @

Islam is not 'based' on the need to convert as many people as possible.

It's up to us as Sikh's to educate ourselves, our siblings and our children on the principles of Sikhi. If we do not we be held liable for the loss of our great faith. If we do not we will end up like the Ancient Greeks, the Mongols or the Egyptian's, once great peoples but now not even a shadow of their previous selves.

Sikh's seem to be too busy with trying to make money and although a househoulders life is important in society there are many others matters which need discussing.

Yasmin my friend, just out of curiosity, why do you visit a Sikh website?

this is old news...and we found out after checking it that the man was related to the family, ie he was a punjabi christian, and not there to seek converts, just there as a family member.
