[QUOTE="Randip Singh, post: 164487, member: 1323"] No! Your interpretation is incredibly narrow. You really must read some history books. [url]http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/bhagats/26791-bhagat-kabir.html[/url] It reads like that if you read one line yes but if you read the entire shabad it does not mean that at all. He mentions tyranny in this. How the Islamic invaders under Timur justified massacres in the name of Islam.
