My argument to you is:

Look at the workings of the inhouse of gurdwara before you can look at society and its portral of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. In a gurdwara we need to show consideration towards what is right and what is wrong. We know for a fact how much fighting goes on when the voting takes place at the gurdwara. All the dodgy granthi's and rude people that sit around the gurdwara gossiping about what is happening in the local community.

Please, please dont tell me that these people are showing any respect for the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. when i was little, people used to go to the gurdwara and it was such a wonderful community feel. People were so happy with each other, they dressed up nicely spent the whole Sunday morning doing seva and listening to path. I loved the feeling, now it is all commercialised.

I respect all peoples wishes and i have been to the gurdwara when a wedding has taken hours to perform, where the couple have perfomed kirtan after the lavan. I have been to a wedding where the lavan have been finished within an hour. If the congreation spent the whole hour in deep mediation and respect of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji i would rather perfer this than to sitting down for 5 hours when your mind is drifting off to other things.

i want there to be a whole spectrum of sikhs. From religious Gur-sikhs(Amrit) to others that use the teachings of sikhism for their daily life. Please do not marginalise the people that are not highly religious.

It is fair that a comprimise had tried to be reached, but it is not a widely known fact before the papers actually published the news. The vast amount of society will think we are worse than the muslims(whereas we are more tolerant to all a persons beliefs).

I have a daughter and she attends CofE school because i believe a key principle of sikhism is respect and tolerance to all people. Please don't make it harder for the next generation of sikhs to accept Sikhism. If my daughter wanted to get married in the middle of the countyside with the blessing of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji when she grows up, she should be able to. Dont make the failings of a small minority to reflect the hardline attititudes of Sikh people.

If you ever saw me in real life you would never expect me to be writing in a forum. But the lack of information to the community and tolerance that the sikh religion is showing is highly upsetting.
