World's Biggest Hotel To Open In Mecca

Wow !

Thanks for posting that Eduardo. But, the real story is not the hotel. The interesting bit is the story within the story. A fabulous insight into the workings of fundamentalist sunnism and I thought we Sikhs had a problem preserving our heritage. Our bad guys are not so bad after all I mean the Saudis make even the Badals in Punjab look like nice guys :

"In Mecca and Medina, meanwhile, anything that relates to the prophet could be in the bulldozers sights. The house of Khadijah, his first wife, was crushed to make way for public lavatories; the house of his companion Abu Bakr is now the site of a Hilton hotel; his grandsons house was flattened by the kings palace. Moments from these sites now stands a Paris Hilton store and a gender-segregated Starbucks"

"These are the last days of Mecca, says Alawi. The pilgrimage is supposed to be a spartan, simple rite of passage, but it has turned into an experience closer to Las Vegas, which most pilgrims simply cant afford.

nail...head...bang! But atleast these lot have something to show for what they've built over their heritage sites. What do we have...white washed concrete boxes :/

I saw a picture of a group of Muslim guys in their late 20s or so at Hajj. They were big, gym-going lads and they'd had their picture taken amongst the throng of pilgrims at Mecca, but these idiots were flexing and posing for the camera, lol. I mean, I know enough about the religion of Peace to appreciate the Hajj is a hugely significant and vital part of Islam, but these jokers were using that opportunity to show off their gains. You'd think that particular location of all places would be one for quiet contemplation, or if not that, then at least a bit of decorum, but clearly not for these fellas, lmao.

sort of like the fellas flexing at Darbar Sahib for a quick click? Or the bollywood stars and how their fans from the sangat leave the darbar to see them instead? Or the VIP treatment given to well "vips"?

Really? Our lot do that at Darbar Sahib? Stupid fools. Disgusting, lowly behaviour. I had no idea.

Darbar sahib inside matha taek flow stops for a while whenever VIP goes to take Matha from side shortcut. I saw it when badal was there.

On top of that now they are restricting daily morning ppl to sit on the prime spot inside - those spots are now is reserved by SPGC sewadars for prominent politicians during live telecast program.

Even though this is a radical idea to most people, I say let Gursikhs like Bhai Jugraj Singh Ji manage the Darbar Sahib over SGPC!

    • 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.
