Interfaith Marriage - Muslim & Sikh

Dalsingh writes: "Again you claim to be a friend to Sikhs but are condoning anti Sikh activity."

I wrote the following: "Yes, infact sexual relations with Muslims or Hindus could lead to the dilution of Sikhi values altogether and could therefore be interpreted as contrary to higher message brought by the Gurus"

How is it that you misinterpreted what I said? The exceptions do occur, whether or not this fulfills the need for Sikhi values or not. So, my question was, if Sikhi values can still be maintained in a marriage to someone who is not Sikh, what philosophical reasons might be given?

sikhi values cannot be maintained in a marriage to non-sikh.
nadeem brother, You are starting your merry go around again.

Dear Vaapaara,

No merry go round at all. I am quite happy to leave this subject alone. I am only interested in the philosophical aspects of the question. In a sense, it requires an unemotional response.

Clearly, if you read the threads, other Sikhs have given the opposite opinion to your own. But one of the great features of all great philosophies is the ability to discuss things in a disinterested way without making assumptions. Exploring philosophical ideas can be an exhausting process but if we realise that it is an activity that is independent of our instincts and emotions then we begin to appreciate its universal value. This applies to all faiths equally. So, to clarify once again, the interest is not personal but philosophical; it is about how we understand relations with people of other faiths. The same questions can be applied to other faiths directly. Its just interesting to know how Sikh thinkers explore these concepts in a constructive way given their special interest in the universal message of Baba Nanak Ji [Peace and Blessings on Him]. I hope you get the picture?

The interest is in the gurshabad which was passed on from 1 - 10, nanak is no exception to this. The body is a vehicle for the word today paper is the vehicle and the temporal aspect resides in the corporate body politic of the khalsa.

To start, you dont need to say [peace and blessings on him]. Guru Nanak is the bestower of peace and blessings upon all humanity, muslims hindus alike. Don't make assumptions on sikhism, its not same as sufism or islam. Guru Nanak is the one Guru of all existence.

one is bowing towards the mecca, the other bows in no direction.
one is suppressing freedoms of women, the other one is free.
one believes God is only in mecca, the other believes God is everywhere.
one belives only Allah is the God, rest are kafirs, The other believes the God of all Religions is the one and same.

I could go on, The teachings of Guru is, they have two bodies but one soul, such is the principle of marriage in sikhism. Hope you get this beautiful picture.

You are going merry-round and you should put the subject to rest.

I am not sure I understand your comment. Please help to clarify. Are you saying that God transcends rationality, and that He can do anything?

Is this an accurate way of understanding other faiths?

your response has nothing to do with the quote but i see where youre going with this. Please clarify your understanding of the term "transcend rationale".

Clearly, you are the king of assumptions, I stand with the opinion of other sikh brothers and sisters on this forum.
