So you're OK with mankind plunging into darkness for a few centuries? And we're to console ourselves with "it'll be just fine, 300 years after my child is dead"?

I don't think you should accuse him of faithlessness in God.

To the contrary, the Western liberals who are OK with jihadis in their midst (to the extent of giving them housing benefits) are the ones who don't have faith in God.

It's exactly the faith of @MisterrSingh and others in God that seems to me to lead to their desire to confront the threat as opposed to just going along to get along.

I mean, when 6th Paatshah decided it was of paramount importance to introduce Miri alongside Piri, did it signify a loss of faith in Akal Purakh and the belief that his spiritual power could overcome any obstacle? Should Sikhs have retreated to the forests and just prayed the Mughals away? When the fort at Chamkaur was under siege I suppose Guru Sahib should've suspended all martial action and preparations, and instigated an Akhand Jaap to shoo the Mughals forces away.

I guess I shouldn't inform fellow brothers and sisters about what may lie ahead in the future (as I see it), and help them chart a course away from pitfalls and obstacles they might encounter in those situations, because merely mentioning the worst case scenario is doom-mongering and a sign of a negative, unbelieving mind(!) Fine. I'll plan for the worst and be glad IF it doesn't happen -- but I will be thoroughly prepared IF it does -- whilst others HOPE and delude themselves into thinking life will continue unhindered, but then are desperately looking around for a saviour or are paralysed through fear and inaction when things do eventually go south. I know what course of action I prefer, and it's not the one that relies on the goodness of humanity. Death is an inescapable truth for all living things, but I'll be darned if it comes to my door before it was meant to, and the only reason I succumb to its embrace before my designated time is because I was too lazy, complacent, or ignorant to think two steps ahead.

No, continue to do what you're doing.

What you're doing is basically presenting one possible future. It's in our hands to possibly prevent that doom. It's possible we may not be able to fully prevent it, but as Sikhs, we're supposed to die trying.

Trying to engage with the world and make the best possible future for our children is not lack of faith in God. It's God that gives us strength to face the monsters (like the Mughals).

I will be honest. this makes sense to me !!

So (question for the UK govt): It's only a problem when the far right views the ISIS manuals? It was always OK for Muslims to read that stuff, radicalize, go fight in Syria, come back with a welcome?

Not that I have any love lost for anyone who wants to use violence.

Have people noticed that a lot of the extremist movements seem to originate or have strong basis up north, or in the midlands?

I remember all the Islamist parchaar that swifty took a hold of a lot Muslims in London (in the very late 80s onwards) started with 'parchaaraks' that came from there to here. The wahhabi types. They were quite strongly anti-Sikh (or anti Panjabi culture depending on how you look at it) and saw all the bhangra and drinking that was getting popular amongst all the 'asians' at the time as a downward slip by their co-religionists. 

Very quickly (in the space of a couple of years), things changed. Hijabs went from practically nonexistent to commonplace amongst Panjabis. Sulliyan were practically banned from going to these 'gigs' through intimidation. The muslay started growing their beards and cutting their muchaan and wearing jack ups etc.

Speaking retrospectively, and given what we now know about grooming (and how it fed on this bhangra scene and culture), we should have been more astute on what was happening, as a community. Only some people from B'ham seemed to have grasped what was really going on. How comes we was asleep on this one? What lessons are there for us to learn as a community from this? (not that this excuses all the dirty predatory filth that engaged in this stuff or teh persistent (to this day!) denials and cover ups by the police and social services of this country).

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
