The irony of islam though is that it thrives on the leftists of any liberal vibrant democracy to garner sympathy , effectively neutering the reasonable part of the right-wing with "islamophobia" , but when Islam becomes majority and there's no need for pretense of loving democracy, democracy is often thrown out of the system and you end up with either an "islamic republic" or sharia law

Off topic, but the simple answer is Cassius Clay's conversion to Islam, who eventually became to be known as Mohammed Ali. Boxers aren't exactly known for their intelligence (not saying they're fools or mentally infirm), but boxers converting to Islam has become a meme, as if it's Islam that grants them magical boxing abilities.

Clay would've been a great fighter without Islam. Tyson was a great fighter before Islam. They succeeded IN SPITE OF Islam, not because of it, and that's a principle that applies in a wider civilisational sense when Islamic apologists smother certain achievements and claim them as evidence of the superiority of their ideology, conveniently choosing to ignore successes and achievements of individuals and groups prior to them succumbing to the emotionally and intellectually stultifying creed.

Black people went into Islam only because they are spiritual people who had their Dharam taken and were brutalized by christianity. They needed to step out from the slavemasters religion and into something...Islam was the closest thing to what they were accustomed to so the transition in that direction was easiest.

Islam offers regimented discipline and a clear sense of what it considers to be right and wrong. For a person who has suffered a difficult life -- and isn't too bothered about the deeper spiritual and moral issues of Dharam -- following something like Islam can be the difference between drowning or surviving in a figurative sense. For a boxer it can help in reinforcing and focusing their decision-making in order to make them function more effectively as fighter.

But I still feel there are some who look at Ali, and think, "I'll convert to Islam because it worked for him." Islam is as much the religion of the oppressor of blacks as Christianity is. History is unequivocal about it. But for some reason this is purposefully downplayed in recent history, probably because we're meant to sympathise with these innocent, self-effacing Muslims who have known nothing but kindness and cooperation since they emerged on this planet, lol. ?

Yes, I do believe black people are intensely spiritual, and somewhere along the way in some hazy period of history we aren't privy to, they lost touch with something of themselves that was central to their being. I've been reading something recently that posits a few interesting theories as to why this might have happened, but it's all new to me, and I'm not sure I'm ready to process it as truth just yet.

Yeah. Unfortunately trading the slavemasters religion for the slavetraders is only so big a step.

There was this muslim cricket player, Usman Khawaja, his wife converted to marry him. She went to a catholic school, and her mates were saying when she told them, this is how muslims act, having christain girlfriends and converting them.

On the other hand Sikhs marry non Sikhs who don't convert to Sikhism causing confusion in the next generations who are confused about their religion.

Yes, the Sikh is more likely to subtly re-adjust their own beliefs and accommodate the non-Sikh partner rather than insist on it being the other way round. It's kind of understandable when the relationship is Sikh Female and Non-Sikh Male (because of the supposed power dynamics of the Male-Female coupling regardless of background), but it doesn't explain why it's Sikhi that ends up compromised when the coupling is Sikh Male and Non-Sikh Female. Is it a cultural thing? An inferiority complex? A lack of loyalty and ambivalence for wanting to see Sikhi grow?

In Muslims though even a non Muslim male has to convert to Islam before he can marry a Muslim female.

Their fundamentals are very clear as compared to our lot. That is also one of the reasons of our declining population.

It's coded into their doctrine, because their founder and those who came after understood human nature. I'm not suggesting Muslims never marry non-Muslims, but there's still a sense of stigma to it. Leaving these issues at the discretion of the individual means it's a coin toss as to whether the creed survives or not.

Well whatever they are doing is definitely working as there are now more than 1.8 billion of them in the world today.

Its not just the numbers it's the quality. Muslims are always at the bottom of multicultural society.

The likes of Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X were fools. At one point they believed in the nation of islam which believes that white people were created by a mad black scientist in an experiment that went wrong.

Then they converted to regular islam. Malcolm X complained about white Christian oppression but was able to cavort around with white women in America in the 1940s. He went to the middle East in the 1960s and was treated well by the high society there which made him think that was how all black people would be treated. However that was never the case, Saudi Arabia only reluctantly abolished slavery a couple of years before his visit! Malcolm X was simply naieve. To this day blacks are referred to as Abids (slaves) in the Middle East and North Africa, they would be murdered for trying to marry an Arab woman.

That is how Muslims and Christians convert in a lot of cases- through trickery. Plus we don't need a bunch of dumb jail thug converts.

    • I was searching igurbani.com which gives correct pronunciation of Gurbani. I can’t remember all of it at once. I guess it relies on more practice, like more Sehaj Paths. The meaning becomes clearer. I have noticed slight variants in it. This could be because it’s written in old Punjabi.  
    • Veer Manpreet Singh, a lay preacher, claims that -Sikhs aren't supposed to worship Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We are only supposed to worship God as is written in Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We only "revere" Guru Granth Sahib ji.     He says a lot of other things in this video, some are good refutations of Hindu superstitions, but the reformers often go too far. Anyways, what he is saying about not worshipping Guru Granth Sahib ji is totally wrong. The reason is Guru Granth Sahib ji is Guru. Guru is Satguru. Satguru is God. We worship God. Therefore, we also worship Satguru (Guru Granth Sahib ji).   There are innumerable verses in Gurbani equating God and Guru. ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਡੁਬਦਾ ਲਏ ਤਰਾਇ ॥੨॥ The Guru is the Supreme Lord and the Transcendent Master. The Guru floats (saves) the drowning one. p49   ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ Know the Guru and God as One. p864   ਗੁਰ ਨਾਲਿ ਤੁਲਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਖੋਜਿ ਡਿਠਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੁ ॥ There is no one at par with the Guru. I have searched and seen the whole universe. p49 (If the Guru is the greatest in the whole universe, shouldn't we worship the Guru?)   I'd like to ask Manpreet Singh what is worship? Any reasonable definition would include obeisance, remembrance, and praise. Those are exactly the same things Gurbani says to do regarding Guru! Remembrance and obeisance: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥ Ever, ever, I think of the True Guru, ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕੇਸ ਸੰਗਿ ਝਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ and the Guru's feet I brush with my head's hair. p387   Praise: ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਆਪਿ ॥ The Guru himself is the transcendent Lord and the supreme master. ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੬੭॥ Throughout the eight watches of the day, O Nanak meditate thou on the Guru. p387   In fact, Gurbani says the way to find God is to worship (puja) of Guru: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਧੋਇ ਧੋਇ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਲਹੁ ਰੇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Washing and bathing the True Guru's feet, worship thou them. In this way thou shall obtain my Lord Master. Pause. p1118   Could it be any clearer that we are to worship Guru ji?
    • Bro, reciting a shorter Chaupai Sahib is hardly "anti-Dasam". It's fine to argue that the longer Chaupai is more traditional, but the short one isn't anti-Dasam. That's like claiming shorter Rehras is anti-Guru Granth Sahib ji just because there are fewer selections from Guru Granth Sahib. It might not be traditional, but it's not anti-Guru Granth Sahib. I prefer the longer versions, but let's not exaggerate. Every tradition has a slightly different Rehras version. Nanaksar vs Taksal vs Nihangs and so on. The basic template for Rehras is at the beginning of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Later, Chaupai Sahib was added and Anand Sahib always follows as the end of a process. Then some sangats added more saloks to start Rehras and others were added at the end. Some additional selections from Dasam Bani were also added, but it wasn't the same ones for every sangat. The important thing is to not hate on each other for these variations.
    • Umm, so you're upset that this jatha did Chaupai the same way it's being done at Harimandar Sahib for 100 years? Shouldn't you be upset at the manager of Darbar Sahib? I'm not saying that Sikhs who are aware of certain issues shouldn't do the longer Chaupai, but there are only so many battles you can fight. Instead of calling some jatha traitors because they're doing the (for better or worse) "standard" Chauapai published by the SGPC, it would be better to change things from the central point. You can't fault the average Sikh for picking up the average Gutka and doing paath.
    • It's the same here in Toronto. Alot of the gudwaras here are political orientated and get tons of funding from the government-probably want them stay hush hush with all the BS that has been happening with India.  These guys are skewing gurbani. A complaint was sent to a ragi singh a couple of days ago in regards to a hukamnama.
