[QUOTE="chk1, post: 51188, member: 3992"] 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 not muslim, i have been born into a sikh family with fairly narrow minded sikh parents, i have researched myself into different religions and paths including sikhi. I am proud of the fact that i have opened my mind to other paths aswell as following my own, i believe i have more tolerance and respect for other faiths than those who remain narrow minded. From what i observe there are radicals in every faith many of them we hear about on the news, through the media, others are more quiet and underground. It is unfair to say that all muslims are extremists in my opinion those who believe that are ignorant. By the actions of a few we cannot judge others to be the same. If tomorrow a group of sikhs were to commit terrorist activities in the name of god, and justify it using the sggs the rest of us would not affiliate with them and would know that their interpretation or view is incorrect. (not that this is going to happen but it is an example) Likewise, we would not want to be judged by the actions of others therefore i ask you not to judge people (whether they are muslims, hindus, atheists, etc) based upon the actions of extremists from those faiths. As for reading the koran, it is interesting to read, to see what people believe and why it certainly helps increase our knowledge so we are not so ignorant. It is also interesting to read the bible, torah, bhagavad gita, the vedas, puranas, upanishads, adi granth, dasam granth, etc etc to gain a perspective on each faith and enlighten ourselves and also gain respect for those of different faiths. The worst thing we could possibly do is listen to others but not read for ourselves. The essence of sikhi, in my opinion is humbleness and losing the ego through meditation of naam. Whilst reading replies it occured to me that many people who declare themselves as true sikhs had an immense amount of pride and egotism about sikhi. It is good to be proud of our heritage, history and religion but not the the extent we believe our religion to be better than others. Guru Nanak set us an example :wah: , we should follow his example and present ourselves to the world in the same manner, be humble and understanding rather than full of ego. As sikhs our aim is to lose our ego but people are increasingly becoming full of more pride as they defend the religion. My message to those of you who feel hurt when sikhi is attacked is to let it be, understand the "attackers" have opinions, ideas, perceptions and understand their points of view too. Reading the Koran is not wrong, it just increases your knowledge and whether you agree or disagree is personal to you but we live in a multi cultural society we need to respect other faiths as much as we respect our own. :up: If i have offended anyone with my post please accept my apologies :) Charan Kaur [/QUOTE]
