Can Sikhs be friendly with Muslims?

[ChardikalaUK]

I for one am glad the Afghan Sikhs came to the UK and Southall especially. They have ensured that most shops on Southall Broadway are Sikh owned otherwise the muslims would have taken it over completely. There are way too many halal restaurants on the broadway these days and it would have been far worse if the Afghan Sikhs never came over.

yes i agree  more sikhs the better it is    plus because of their different culture it adds some diversity to the community   another gd thing is that they have lots of kids   which is great 

there aren't that many halal kebab places on broadway, the few that are there have always been there   no?    southall has always had a sizable muslim community     i havent been in a while but near McDonalds theres a few a think

The amount of muslims has increased since the 90s when I was a kid. There are those old pakistani restaurants at the end of broadway near McDonalds but now a lot of these fake halal kfc, nandos knock offs next to the sikh owned shops.

i did notice a lot more of those non desi muslims   afghan type of looking ones.

but i think southall will always remain a mainly punjabi area. the kache lot will keep the punjabi population up. and because it right nxt to heathrow as well. 

problem is punjabi always leave the multicultural areas and settle into the goreh areas, and the goreh dnt want them there so they start moving out. the multicultural areas end up then becoming mainly paki and somali areas, and its in these areas that our gurdware are in.

many punjabis are now traveling 20/30 mins from their new houses to the closest gurdwareh

Those fake halal  peri-peri chicken places are everywhere. 

But they  mostly remain empty (most likely because they are fronts for something else) , it artificially makes the muslim population look bigger than it is.

Well the way it works is first you have goreh living in an area, then the Indians (Sikhs and Hindus) move in, then finally the Pakistanis and other muslim groups.

There's nothing wrong in wanting to better yourself but I get annoyed when the <banned word filter activated> follow us around but I guess that's how the goreh feel about us.
