[QUOTE="gursidak, post: 21190, member: 1225"] Gurufateh: It is all the same very easy to "not mean to" but still hurt! I sincerely have faith in your honest intentions not to hurt but would always wonder if one can wash his hands off by carrying such honorable intentions only and not putting in sincere effort to really do that or at least put in time and effort to do a proper research. Though I couldn't muster the patience to go through the whole thread because of a gut instinct as to something horribly out of place as regards the honour and respect required to be placed at the mention of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, from whatever brief I could lay my eyes on I have a few queries: - I have put forth and humbly asked in this forum earlier also that where is the need and motivation to call and prove Sikhism as another religion - one more vying to balloon its following.....To me and many others, it never was, definitely isn't now, and will never be the case. Sikhism simply is not a religion. Nowhere in the history is a single mention of any Sikh Gurus, Scholars, or Rulers forcing, cajoling, or doing anything whatsoever to convert people of any other religion......... - that the two sons of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji moved on different paths, does not in any way reflect any 'purported' weakness on the part of their father, it to me only proves two facts. First, Guru Ji was not an 'entrepreneur' who would have otherwise passed on his 'business' in his family and secondly and more importantly, one does not become Sikh simply by birth in a Sikh family which again reinforces the fact that Sikhism is not a religion (by traditional definitions of whatever religion you might refer to). As a bonus, we learn the lesson of '[COLOR=blue]Alipt Rehna[/COLOR]' from our Torchbearer. - One more thing I would like to confirm with someone from this forum. I got to know that there are a few historical gurudwaras in the Middle East and Afghanistan.

(If the rulers of Middle East consented that easily, Sikhism well might be some dark design of some Muslim rulers -- pun intended :)) One humble request -- please double-check the words you attach to the likes of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji (to some it definitely hurts but much much more than that with time and a little deep research, you yourself might have second thoughts and by such time words spoken like bullets shot are already etched in the sheets of time gone by.
