But at least Christians have changed, Muslims can learn from them ...  

Even Hindus have changed, not long ago they were burning widows and pouring boiling water/oil into the ears of shudras who accidentally heard the vedas. The way Hinduism was practiced especially by the brahmins was pure evil and not too long ago either 

molten lead in ears , or like Ram lopping off heads

" Having killed a cat, an ichneumon, a blue jay, a frog, a dog, an iguana, an owl, or a corw, he shall perform the penance for the murder of a Sudra."
-- [ Manu IX.132 ]

" 'You may breed cows and dogs in your house,' wrote Mr. M.C. Raja. 'You may drink the urine of cows and swallow cowdung to expiate your sins, but you shall not approach an Adi Dravida"
-- [ Inf ]

" The murder of a Sudra by a Brahman is equal only to killing a cat or a frog or a cow "
[ Stat ] [ Wilk.248 ].

Whereas Brahmans are classed with gods, Sudras are classed with animals:

" Elephants, horses, Sudras and contemptiable Mlecchas, lions, tigers, and boars form the middle dark condition"
-- [ Manu i.43 ] [ Muir I.41 ]

" A Sudra has no right even to listen to the Veda. Recitation of or listening to this sacred book is exclusively a privilege of the Aryan Hindus. There is provision of severe punishment for a Sudra, in case he dares to enjoy this privilege. If he "overheard a recitation of the Vedas, molten lac or tin was to be poured into his mouth; if he repeated recitation of the Vedas, his tongue should be cut; and if he remembered Vedic hymns, his body was to be torn into pieces."
-- [ Tirth ]; cited in [ Stat ]

" The Vaisya and the Sudra are not allowed to hear it [ the Veda ], much less to pronounce and recite it. If such a thing can be proved against one of them, the Brahmans drag him before the magistrate, and he is punished by having his tongue cut off ."
-- [ al-B.i.125 Ch.XII ]

 

·         " A once-born man (Sudra) who insults a twice-born man (Aryan) with gross invective, shall have his tongue cut out; for he is of low origin."
-- [ Manu VIII.270 ]

·         " If he mentions the names and castes (Jati) of the (twice-born) with contumely, an iron nail, 10 fingers long, shall be thrust red-hot into his mouth ."
-- [ Manu VIII.271 ]

·         " If he arrogantly teaches Brahmins their duty, the king shall cause hot oil to be poured into his mouth and into his ears . "
-- [ Manu VIII.272 ]

 

" The colour (Varna ) of the Brahmans was white, that of the Kshtriyas red, that of the Vaisyas yellow, and that of the Shudras black"
-- [ MBh.Santi.6930 ff ][ Muir.I.140 ]

" The Brahman is his mouth; he is the Kshattriya-armed, that great One, Vaisya-thighed, and has the black caste abiding in his feet." " Brahmananam kshattra-bhujo mahatma vid-urur anghrisrita-krishna-varnah"
-- [ Muir.I.156 ] [ Bhg.Pur.II.1.37 ]

"Others he [ Brahma ] created from his feet, whose chief characterisitic was drakness."
-- [ Muir 62 ] [ Vis.Pur. I.6.5 ]

" these 7 varshas have a system of four castes. The caste which dwell there are severally the Kapilas, Arunas, Pitas, and Krishnas (or, the Tawny, the Purple, the Yellow and the Black). These, the Brahmans, Kshattryias, the Vaisya an Sudras, worship woth excellent sacrifices Vishnu ... in the form of Vayu... "
-- [ Muir I.499 ] [ Vis.Pur.II.4.12 ]

"Probably no other class of persons in any society ever combined in themselves all these advantages so exclusively as the Brahmans. It is equally doubtful if any other aristocratic class has ever exercised their privileges to the detriment of the common people so unscrupulously and for so long a period as these Brahman priests." [ Tirth.113 ] He further observes, "No imperial power ever imposed on a weaker people a more ruthless and soul-destroying domination than the Brahmans did on the rest of their fellow citizens, and no race of superior men ever arrogated to themselves such haughty supremacy and false greatness as they have. " [ Tirth.163-4 ]
-- [ Brah_S ]

Islam has been pushed onto a bigger stage on which its every word and move is analysed and dissected to death. The often referenced Christian reformation of the Enlightenment period may have been the moment when Christianity began to think twice about taking its Old Testament teachings literally, but Islam seemed to have gradually settled into a rhythm after the breakup of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent rise of secular minded leaders who were beginning to introduce modern reforms to their lands. Was it a soft self-Reformation? Perhaps.   It's hard to believe, but what are now hotbeds of instability and fundamentalism in the Middle East, were almost verging on the secularism of the West as recently as the middle of the last century. Islam still played a huge part in the lives of their populations, but the incitement to fundamentalism was nowhere near as widespread as it's become in the past 30 or so years. Sure, there was always conflict between places like Iraq and Iran, but there's always been such niggles between neighbouring countries in that part of the world. Thank the United States and their meddling for sending that part of the world back 300 or 400 years. It's an absolute tragedy.

Yeah a lot of Islamic countries were becoming secular but then i think saudia arabia started sending money to muslim countries. There are a few pics of Afghanistan and Iran etc from back in the 60s with women wearing skirts and talking to men. Even Pakistan after partition was no different to India Punjab! Its in the 70s that the mullahs started gaining power and thats when the country became radical. I think the Paki prime-minister was called zia?  he made the country very radical. Theres a good movie called "silent waters" showing how open Pakistan was before the 70s and then how the mullahs radicalized it. Iv seen interviews online of how before Pakistan became radicalized the mullahs used to be considered jokes! A lot of older generation Pakis especially the more liberal ones would tell you how the country has become unrecognizable. There are many videos of our elders online saying how Sikhs and Muslims used to live like brothers before the partition, eating from the same plate, visiting each others relatives, attending each others weddings.  I remember watching this elderly Sikh Bibis interview on the partition and she said that when she got married her Muslim neighbors from her birth village came to visit her in her new house to make sure she was happy. 

I remember watching the interview of an elderly Egyptian ex muslim and he said egypt today is unrecognizable. He said back in his days girls used to wear mini skirts and openly talk to boys etc all that was considered normal

Don't get me wrong, I don't consider overt expressions of westernisation to be a guaranteed template for the prosperity and integrity of a nation, but if the other extreme is a suffocatingly narrow religious rule of law that more often than not slips into authoritarianism, then the alternative doesn't seem so bad. Sometimes I think junglee people require junglee law so that they're induced to behave themselves, but invariably there are certain to be good people who'll suffer. Some issues to keep in mind if Sikhs ever find themselves in a situation where a Sikh nation is on the cards.

    • 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.
