[QUOTE="Harjas Kaur Khalsa, post: 53384, member: 2125"] Thank you for your kind words. [B]Guruji DOES NOT want Sikhs to be the dust of the feet and trampled into nonexistence by missionaries of other religions. [/B] Do you see Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Christians mixing and diluting their traditions by absorbing influence of every other faith? No! Yet you are not calling Hindu's, Christians, Muslims or Buddhists arrogant... only Sikhs are said to be arrogant, unspiritual, prideful who are not groveling at the feet to eat the dust of attacks by Hindutva missionaries, Muslim missionaries, Christian missionaries...This is kaliyug, not an era of respectful unity like satyug. In this era we must be guardians of our children's faith from relentless undermining. If we cannot be defenders of ourselves, we cannot be any kind of defender of the rights of anybody else. NO ONE SHOULD BE FORCED, BADGERED, SHAMED TO ATTEND WORSHIP SERVICES OR TEMPLE OF ANOTHER FAITH OUT OF [B][U]SELF-RESPECT[/U][/B], [B]NOT ARROGANCE![/B] Sikhs need more SELF-RESPECT, more actual knowledge of Sikhi, especially the kids before they go out and indiscriminately absorb ideas and practices different from the teachings of their own faith. It's beyond arrogance to presume Sikhs have to grovel at the feet of the religious beliefs of others. No orthodox Jews in their right mind would visit a Buddhist temple or allow his kids to go. No orthodox Christian would even be seen in a Muslim Mosque. No Hindu joins in Christian celebrations or Muslim debates. WHY? Because they are avoiding missionaries who insist they degrade their own independant faiths and encourage their assimilation into the dominant faith. These religions all have self-respect and independant autonomy. Why dont we? It is not "spiritual" to eat dust of the feet of assimilation.
