funny you're wasting your time kaur1 when i was thinking the same thing, how narrow minded and egotistic people really are on this website and yet they like to give the impression they are "true" "die hard" sikhs!! Yet again you just see the whole "our religion is better than any other" comes up...

I just wanted to add, muslims may be giving out propaganda, but sikhs do too it's hard to believe certain things we read or hear. And lets not forget the role of the media who distort things aswell. Propaganda is all around us. Whether sikhs or muslims write it.

Sonia, Your comment is very inspiring and beautiful, makes me remember how the divine resides in all of us, and how no one person is better than another, i hope others can dwell upon these words and feel the love and peace that resides within us.

So then its a question of pride ego and what people will think. Instead of building bridges you're trying to widen the gap? Instead of contributing to peace you're basing your opinion on ignorance and narrow mindedness? How can you judge a person if you don't know them. You wouldn't want to be...

Badmash ji, I believe that one's truth is found in themselves, i have not renounced sikhi and i am not against it, but i don't see why i should follow something if it isn't right for me and because my forfathers followed it. I respect my family and their beliefs, i have found my truth by going...

If the persons involved in the relationship agree together that religion is not the deciding factor for them to be together then nothing else can change that. Both of us are liberal, nobody can impose such a penalty on either of us, personally that doesn't matter. How can anyone say religion has...

It is incredibly sad to see that most sikhs cannot even have calm rational discussions with muslims as prejudices get in the way. Firstly we are not anyone to judge, if you do judge people, don't judge them by what they are but rather who they are. Secondly, everyone is allowed an opinion...

I have read the koran, i have had endless discussions with muslims and although i might not personally agree with the teachings i still have respect for the faith. Extremism is exactly that, it is EXTREMISM, those who distort the teachings and become radicals, not everyone agrees with them. I am...

Its a personal preference as long as the persons involved feel it is right for them, who is anyone, the government included to intervene? We can't impose our ideas and beliefs upon others they have the right to freedom as much as we do, whether they wish to have gay sex or marriage or be...

Our differences should be celebrated, not the reason to allow us to be seperate from each other. We are children of one God, we are not seperate from each other or from God because we share the same spirit. Have you heard of "what goes around comes around", if we were to treat others on how they...

stop judging people based on their religion, but see that everyone is different. Treat others how you yourself would like to be treated. Let me finish with this wonderful quote, i think this sums my reply up: "I love you when you bow in the mosque, when you kneel in the temple, when you...

Thats brilliant! :up: Although you are unsure of how things will work out, just try to have faith and be positive, i'm sure once the family get over their fears and see how nice you are they will realise that perhaps the colour of somebodys skin or their background is not what is important, but...

I would say speak to him, ask him what he intends on saying, if he doesn't know then suggest to him that he mentions you to the family but says that he only wants them to meet you first and get to know you. That way they are not freaking out that they have to agree to your marriage straight...

Hi carrie, welcome to spn! It's good to know what you're up against, you have realised that its not so easy for a white person to marry a sikh (or asian in general). Generally it does depend upon his family, whether they are more liberal or conservative. It is not rare for a white person to...

Guru Ji was right! Technically pregnancy lasts 10 months, but it can vary from woman to woman and depends on her pregnancy.
