Big up to Sunny!

Obviously not wanting to point the finger at such an early stage, but I wonder if the police have been in touch with them yet?

In Sikkim they have built a new mosque and guess what .Fisticuffs and violence between the Deobandis and Barelvis over the control of the mosque !!!

Lmao! So true. After Guru Gobind Singh ji its just gone downhill really hasn’t it?

Well said though I thought the only body empowered to make decisions is the collective Khalsa.

Sunny has hit on the head its a struggle for power and resources that it just typically tribal Punjabi.
I really don’t know how the genius of Sikhism ended with such a ill suited people…..

2) Violence is not the exclusive or even mostly the preserve of the young “radicals”. The Singh Sabha in Southall been the sign of fistcuffs between conservative factions and in another West London (non-jat) Gurdwara
the younger modernising members of the commitee left after threats of volience against them and their families.

“Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.”

Commuism is the drug of choice for intellectual spacecadets.

Secondly, on the point of ‘edicts’ and such by the Akal Takht – there is no pre-20th Century precedent for any ‘edicts’ being passed by individuals within the Sikh community. The role of the Akal Takht is to facilitate the consensus-building process within the Sikh community via the protocol of Gurmatta, not for a one (or five) man band to conjure up their own ‘edicts’ – they have absolutely no authority !

As a technical point, the Jathedar of Akal Takhat, popularly referred to as the High Priest, or Pope of the Sikh faith, who nowadays is the person issuing such ‘edicts’, is infact merely a paid employee of the SGPC and can be hired or fired at the whims of his/her political masters – i.e. the Akali Dal.

Also, the term “edict” is different in Sikhism to what it is in Islam, certainly with regards to the more negative connotations of the term “fatwa”.

The Vatican also issues edicts, but one does not refer to them as “fatwas” either.

The concept of ‘fatwas’ does not exist within Sikhism.

“dominance of these countries after the Second World War that such ideas found their way into the various UN charters and conventions. ”

For me this phrase does it: the Qadianis have got off lightly in Pakistan.

“Read any account of the Qadianis’ behaviour in Pakistan, and you will discover that they are a vile, diabolical sect whose “civilised” front is just that – a front. Given the way the Sahaba reacted to the early false Prophets in the Arabian peninsula, one can only conclude that the Qadianis have got off lightly in Pakistan. They still exist, and the Pakistani government does not allow them to call themselves Muslims because they are not Muslims.
