Brave Saudi teen who left Islam and escaped the country. She travelled to Kuwait, got tickets and flew to Thailand, nearly got sent back by the Saudi authorities in Thailand after they locked her in a hotel room, but she managed to spread her story on social media before the Saudi authorities could send her back to her country, the West stepped in and now she is safe in Canada.

Regardless of opinions on Islam, her family must be distraught and so utterly embarrassed. It's behsti, but not in an honour-killing sense, but more along the lines of their daughter becoming this huge sideshow in the West on account of fleeing the country and her faith. I'd assumed the Western media would play it down in order not to incite and upset the growing Muslim population, but they really seem to be hammering this story, lol. Surprising.

No different and actually a lot less sinister than converting a bunch of people on some stage in front of  a whooping, baying crowd like some others do. 

How is this any different to say some Muslims making a youvideo parading a gori convert in a hijab?

That country , Saudi Arabia has some interesting fact hidden from most.

Its a country whose political leadership comes from al-saud family and religious leadership comes from al-ash-sheikh family . 

I was reading on wikipedia abt it . Apparently its a 300 yr old agreement that al-sauds will support and implement conservative islam policies and sharia as required by al-ash sheikh family , and in return al-sheikhs will support legitimacy of al-sauds to rule that region. The two families have maintained this harmony till now , and have strong inter-marriage.

Although in recent years , (as it usually happens) the political leaders overthrow the religious leaders or try to appropriate religious leadership for their (political leaders) own self-interests.

Sounds familiar ?!!

Shromani Akali dal was founded as the political arm of SGPC. But today SAD run by one greedy family is pwning SGPC.

Occasionally I get the sense the western media seems reluctant to rub Muslim noses into their various hypocrisies, almost like they're protecting a potential persecuted minority (yeah right) in that typically egotistical, white liberal way, or they're just plain scared of being Charlie Hebdo'd.

I think you're right on both counts. 

Plus remember sullay have a lot of dirt on goray too.  If one says Rotherham, the other replies Saville. If one points out Islamic looting and pillaging, the other can point at slavery and other darker episodes of empire. 

And look how this feeds into our own endeavours to try and highlight the mass abuse of vulnerable females in our own community.

In that particular exchange, whites have placed themselves in a disadvantageous situation -- on the backfoot I guess -- owing to certain factions within their own society who possess a suicidal altruism that refuses to acknowledge the Other could possibly ever have less than honest intentions. Couple that with a fatal desire to live up to the white saviour complex, they're staring down the barrel of a rather dark future for themselves, and still they refuse to acknowledge that they might be seriously mistaken this time around.

Muslims (in terms of their populations that reside in foreign countries), by and large, know when to close ranks for a common cause. Even the lapsed and non-believers possess a vague sense of loyalty and belonging to Islam, even for appearance's sake in the most superficial or cultural sense, for the sake of the collective, whereas whites are all too eager to express their individuality and impartiality even at the expense of their own people and prospects.

The moral and intellectual vanity of the "educated" white will prove to be its undoing. They have been brainwashed into working against their own interests. It's fascinating how it's been done over such a relatively short period of time. Objectively, for us brownies in the West, the coming decades will prove to be some of the most fruitful if the right opportunities are taken. Everything is literally up for grabs.

This is true too. 

I think it's a complex nexus of issues, including all of what we have mentioned above. It's not some simple binary thing, very little if anything is maybe?

    • I know a Rajput Uncle who is a councillor and he wears the regular panjabi pagh. I wouldn't know he is a rajput because coul easily fit into any panjabi sikh or jatt background. But I can tell from his surname.  However when I look at proper Rajputs they were warriors and kings with those kind of paghs, similar to wearing dumallas or shahi turbans, some looked like Nihang Singhs! And Rajput background sikhs were involved in shastarvidiya training with Guru Hargobind and Guru Gobind Singh, as well as becoming their sikhs.    A rajput background sikh has double responsibilities to maintain turban and also training shastar. I think a Nihang Singh type look is more suitable for a sikh from Rajput background than any patiala shahi or average panjabi pagh

    • what kinda pagh are you tying that is taking more than 5 minutes? Actually puraatan maryada is to sit cross legged and cover your feet, tying pagh sitting down. The standing up may hurt your head.  Turban is not a hatm, many shaheediyaa have been given for the cost of this turban. MAryada is to tie fresh each time, and also twice a day. I kanga my kes twice a day and do keski twice a daym sometimes do my pagh or dumalla the 2nd time as well if I am going out. Just sit down, put a mirror in front and there should be not stress on your neck.
    • I was at the Slough Singh Sabha gurdwara last week. I think he was a teen, a tall young Singh got a deep gash wound on his arm from gatka, somewhere near his wrist. He was already on the floor when I entered through the langar hall, but I am sure he did it to himself not through a gatka "battle". I am unsure which shastar he used. I checked and the shastars seemed lightweight for the children. I picked up the khanda and it was light, not like a real khanda. I really want to emphasise that we should not be promoting twirly sword dancing as a "sikh martial art". This young Singh was hurting and gasping - why are we teaching twirling swords around in a way that may hurt oneself?? Promote shastarvidiya savai raksha and other martial arts which are about causing damage to the enemy. Why are we teaching this style of twirly gatka that's detrimental/harmful to ourselves and our allies? A twirly sword might hurt an ally in a battle, and doesn't allow allied warriors good movement around the sword twirler. This also reminds me during the summer, they were teaching some move to kids where you do some spins with the feet and then do a backwards bhangra type jump. I wasn't sure if this was a martial art or bhangra being taught?! Also at another gurdwara in another city/town in the midlands, the year before at a kids sikh club a guest gatka teacher was teaching basics to little kids by making then practice making infinity symbols with the gatka sticks!!! If we are showing off something ineffective and also harmful to the practitioner and allied warriors, then it's nothing to be proud off! If we are going to show our puraatan shastars off, we need to do it in a respectable manner not in this archaic colonial gatka era! The teaching is just as embarrassing as the last 2 decades and I don't understand why we want to promote it as a sikh martial art, to the sangat and to outsiders? the injuries are just not worth it for learning this modern gatka!    "Preserve Shastar Vidiya any way you can."(Rattan Singh Bhangu, Siri Guru Panth Parkash, ed.

    • Bro, as stated above, you can do whatever you want. No one is snatching your starched turban, 2 weeks old, from your head. But what you want is for Guru's Singhs to call your turban in accordance with rehit. That's not going to happen. Also, why can't you simply tie your starched turban fresh every day? (Genuine question)
