[QUOTE="Mai Harinder Kaur, post: 125753, member: 3558"] [COLOR=Black]The term "extremist" bothers me. [/COLOR][COLOR=Black] Are such Sikhs as myself classified as extremists? I am Amritdhari and so, keshdhari and I think langar should be eaten on the floor. And I support the establishment of Khalistan. I think Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale was a great Sikh (although I do have some disagreements with him). Most of the Sikhs I know believe these things (although most aren't Amritdhari). I am a Khalistani Sikh. I do not generally carry an AK-47 and I rarely froth at the mouth. I do passionately believe in the establishment of our country in our rightful homeland. Most of these organisation that are labeled as terrorist are not terrorist, at all. Their members are strong, dedicated Sikh sovereignists dedicated to the realisation of our homeland.
