What about sikhism and alcohol? Is this a problem the sikh faith is having issues dealing with? Here is an example ... Sonu Luthera - New Zealand | Facebook

Why is it that the focus is always on past atrocities or on negatives. Why not positives? I read these discussions and inevitibly these discussions go back to who did what. Ok ... so the muslims committed atrocities against sikhs ... what now? Move past it ... Those people who did this are long...

yes i do ... is not also written that a sikh must not drink alcohol? From what i have seen ... a majority of sikhs do ... The point i am making is that people pick and choose the bits they like and dont like from a faith .. The basic problem with your statement ... "a sikh must marry a sikh"...

so .. i guess then Sikhishm, along with islam, christianity and judaism is not that much different .. poisoned by the people who practise it. Funny .. because the fundamentals of the sikh beliefs from what i hear are designed to address exactly just these failings in other religions .. and...

In one of your earlier post you said that your father told you that hindu idols should be broken and now you are saying that you were told that all faiths are equal.Is breaking the idols of hindu god's mean's equality to you. The overriding beliefs instilled in me say that all faiths and...

what i was raised to believe in my muslim family .. is that everyone is equal, men, women from all faiths and that we will be judged according to our beliefs and our actions.

'Honour killing' casts medieval shadow over India | The Guardian | Guardian Unlimited what was the final outcome of this? The case of a mother and daughter She probably committed suicide after all that has happened. In any case, this is very shameful. This has nothing to with religion ...

Thank you for your support and comments everyone. My initial email with regards to parents might have been a bit strong however i believe it is a abhorrent practice in any day and age .. especially this one.

But i think there is hope. There are people there from all cultures and religions who do look at things in a balanced way. Who retain the good parts from our faiths and combine them with the good parts from the western culture to form a balanced and well adjusted outlook on life. I am one, and...

Hello kds1980, I am ok. Thank you for asking. I cannot disagree with you at all. I am disgusted by the muslim society and how a majority of them have gone so far away from what logic would suggest is right or wrong. Just blind to what they are doing to others and to each other as well. It is...

You do realise i am muslim right? Quite secular but muslim by birth.

I am moved and humbled by the quality of your response. Thank You

Is religion a shroud for people to commit evil or immoral acts but then use their faith (and the fact that they actively exercise their faith) to comfort themselves in believing it is ok? I would like to ask this question. This applies to all religions. Here are some examples: 1) A suicide...

Just closing this off. Thank you all for your contributions. The last thing i have to say is that a true love story never ends and i believe that. Thank you.
