[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 166189, member: 16886"] Yes, we should ALL look Within and Around us before we start pointing fingers. I personally feel that OK, this guy did what he did but let's give it a break. We seem to carry on criticizing because we have someone to point the finger at. In this day and age every member of the public knows that crimininals come in every walk of life, be they in the policeforce, doctors, lawyers, priests, teachers, charity workers... infact they can be anything or anyone, you can never guess. So, I don't think that the view of sikhism to general public is going to be affected by this man .( I've given some actual facts below). This guy did what he did and then he done the time. - He did a crime and the time- He may have come out a completely better person, better than you and me, who knows ?- I don't personally know him, so I can't truly say, but give it a break is what I do say. After all he is still someones son, someone's husband, brother and father. I mean if he died tomorrow of something unfortunate like getting hit by a bus, are we still going to judge him for his crime or are we going to have some sympathy for his close family ? I am still learning, you are learning and he is still learning and hopefully learnt from his mistake. We are ALL learners and continue learning, wether it is from past mistakes, crimes, predjudice, violence, rudeness, unpoliteness, mistreating, not helping.. whatever, we [I]ALL learn from different areas of our lives where we have deviated away from the Truth.[/I] Yes of course, a better example of a sikh personality should have been appointed for this role, but it didn't happen, so what ? I mean in reality it is interesting to know what WE feel is an impression of us as sikhs and what the general public ACTUALLY percieve as an impression of us sikhs.- Below is some of the most common 10 remarks given by general public (non sikhs) living in close proximity to sikh populations, when asked - [B]What can they say to describe the sikhs in a few sentences.-[/B] 1) Very successful businessmen estabilished in all trades from shops,taxis to car dealers and restaurants. 2) Lots of them professionals like doctors,lawyers and opticians. 3) Live in big houses with large families, ie brothers, parents, grandparents and siblings, that have many cars on the drive as a result. 4) Have a huge festival in spring when shops and roads are closed (vaisakhi nagar kirtans) 5) Drive big cars like merc, bmw's and large suv's. 6) Often see large numbers of them with turbans and swords(kirpans) around the gurdwaras 7) Lot's have 'singh' in their names or as last names. 8) Known to be heavy drinkers of hard liquor instead of beer.(we all know the site of a turbaned singh drinking straight neat whiskey out of the bottle.) 9) Often see elderly turban grandads socialising together in groups and playing cards in areas.(a lot of parks usually) and Most Importantly is number 10 which applies in this case, for the ones portraying the negative images and impressions- 10) In the news because police get called to the centres and temples where they have started violence and fighting with each other!!! All and especially 8,9 and 10 are actual answers given by random people(non sikhs) when asked about us sikhs. The last three 8,9 and 10 are nothing to be proud of and we should instead pay attention to wiping these points clean instead of pointing our finger at the jubilee sikh. This is my true feeling and point and the descriptions above are facts by mainly white people. Waheguru Lucky Singh [/QUOTE]
