Re: Sikh Beadbi - Please response

Hello guys there is a big 'beadbi' going on with a sikh picutre.

' A sikh nihang singh is shown in toilet. He was misunderstand as Muslim.'


Islam - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
(Scroll Down Little bit on that page)

I have sent an email to admin but i wish if everyone just send an email to admin also

Thanks

while the photo is an unfortunate case of mistaken identity... there's not much we can do. uncyclopedia is a satire site. they'll print anything that anyone posts (like wikipedia) and it's all supposed to be absurd. they'll most likely laugh at our well intentioned complaints.

that aside, i don't think it's correct to call this beadbi. as i understand it, sikhs don't attach any special significance to images, do we?

like i said, it's unfortunate, and i don't like it, but i don't think it's worth getting too worked up over. the kind of people who read and post there probably don't care how we feel. :)

Anyone who is a legal adult and feels like sueing them, here you go...

SALDEF.

SALDEF >> Legal Aid >> Assistance


suing them for what? what did they do that was illegal? if you can find the owner of the photograph you MIGHT get them for copyright infringement.

but it's a satire site. they're protected under free speech.

just like we can put pictures of indira gandhi in a toilet and no one can stop us, they can do the same with their mistakenly identified nihang.

sorry, but there's really nothing we can do.

better to worry about things we CAN fix.

they don't care what you say. they've made that clear several times on their site. it's a SATIRE site, protected under the 1st amendment of the US Constitution.

sure, i'd tell them they're hurting the sentiments of sikhs, at which point they'd still probably laugh at us and we'd not be able to do anything.

it's just a picture! i'm sure i'll get flamed for this, but i don't hold any special significance to pictures. even Guru ji's picture. i believe it's akin to idol worship and it's simply against sikhi to care so much about an image.

if someone put an actual sikh in an actual toilet, i'd be ready to fight. :) but a photo? sorry.

yes we don't but again can we ignore this kinda stuff around us????

sometimes we HAVE to ignore it and focus on more important things.

I have to say I agree with Jasleen ji.

This is just a picture. It's sad that they confuse a Sikh with a Muslim, but other than that I don't find it insulting.

Let it go, don't let wasteless anger build up in you.
