All The "singhs" Are Good For.

The Islamic perspective on marriage has been explained to me as thus:

A non Muslim woman can marry a Muslim man and stay non Muslim because the religion of the children will follow that of the father and hence the children will be Muslims.

A Muslim woman can marry a non Muslim man but the man must convert to Islam so that again the religion of the children is guaranteed to become Islam because that is the religion of the father.

They can't lose! :)

They use tactics they know will stir the emotions, making the other person respond in a way that puts them on the front foot. Best to keep calm and play them at their own game. If they realise they can't get at you, it frustrates them no end. They thrive on exploiting the weakness of their opponents. No weakness (or at least don't show them any), no victory for them.

Yeah I was going to bring in the fact that they cut and mutilate their women but I thought that was stooping a bit too low.

If the situation had been reversed I bet he would have used that insult on me, no doubt about it.

Here's something that will embolden them even more:

I've never encountered a Somalian. What are they like in comparison to their Pakistani cousins in terms of temperament, manners, and general conduct? Are they loyal party members too, lol?

For me I will have to give it the cricket test.

Play cricket or have a cultural interest in the game = civilised.

Don't play cricket and have no cultural interest in the game = uncivilised.

(This is a light hearted answer by the way).

What I would really like to hear is from the Pakistani's and how they feel about the Somali's.

The classic Norman Tebbit test, hehe. Although, I despise cricket so I don't know what that says about me. It's great to play, but an absolute bore to watch.

Well, if these Somalians see themselves as "brothers" in Islam of the Pakistanis and Bangladeshis, I'd be curious to see the reaction of the elders of the aforementioned two groups if one of these Somalians was to propose marriage or even attempt to court a fellow Muslim from the Pakistani or Bangladeshi community. I have a sneaking suspicion cultural ties would trump any over-arching religious ties on the part of the Pakistanis and the Bangladeshis. That would go some way to break them out of the smug illusion that they are equals in the eyes of their fellow Muslims... that is unless I'm being cynical.

MisterrSingh I'm stunned. Please tell me where you live so I can relocate there immediately.

Rivendell. It's quite nice if you're into that kind of thing. And I am. :)

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
