[QUOTE="Questioner, post: 100838, member: 8510"] [B]The message applies equally to Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus alike. Regarding each faith dealing with its own.

Where's the equality? find me something like this and i'll subside, [I] You never come to the gudwara for ur prayers nor do u keep ur five K's.
