<blockquote data-quote="Amandeep Kaur" data-source="post: 51604" data-attributes="member: 4085"><p>People doing stuff like that to _any_ people is wrong. As a Sikh, you should recognize all people as "your people."</p><p></p><p>If you want to talk about helping people, calling them stupid and naive, condemning them, telling them they are getting what they deserve only drives them away from safety, help, and truth.</p><p></p><p>Women warriors sacrificed just like men did. And they were of the let's be friends with everyone type. They just defended themselves when others were attacking them. The Sikhs were peaceful. They simply didn't lie down and die when told to. I don't consider the writings in the SGGS to be "bollox" and they are what dictate my views. It is plain that hatred breeds only more hatred and all violence is born of hatred. If you want to make a better world, you can only start by controlling yourself.</p><p></p><p>And if what you say is true about the condition of young Sikh girls in the UK, then treating them like **** from our side certainly isn't going to fix anything. If anything, it gives them more of a reason to run away from men like yourself.</p><p></p><p>I don't delude myself into thinking that Sikhs are always good and kind. The Sikhs have suffered a lot of injustice, it's true. But Sikhs have also killed innocent people, mistakenly believing that their actions were right. In the end, people are people. Men are men. Women are women. And one does not have to be a Sikh to be virtuous. One does not have to not be a Sikh to be scum.</p><p></p><p>If I let go of my ideals and don't keep believing in the potential for good in people, then I cannot help create a better world. Violent, hateful words, violent, hateful actions, violent, hateful thoughts make problems worse. I cannot change the world and the people in it by hating it and hating them and giving them a reason to want to hurt me. So as for what I'm doing to make it better? I am trying my best to be the kind of person I want to believe in. I'm not perfect, but I try to do right by everybody. I try to be open to help people that need help. I try not to toss others aside as though they do not contain the same complexity and depth that I do. And I try to believe that everyone has the potential to be the kind of person I want to live with in the world. If no one keeps that door open, then it will close. If that is lala land, I'd rather live there.</p><p></p><p>If I kill a Muslim today, he will only come and kill my children tomorrow. And then one day, my children may go kill his innocent children as well. Violence fixes nothing. Violence on any level - even mental - closes doors. The reason that Sikhs believe Muslims are bad is because of the violence associated with our history with them. If you commit that same violence and if you act in hatred, you cannot claim to be better. </p><p></p><p>You may not be trying to ruin girls of other races, but you certainly have been demeaning to a girl of your own race. I am not simply "getting all emotional" as you say. That's a cute accusation to make, one that rests on unfavorable stereotypes of female weakness. I am, in fact, capable of reading. You don't need to use CAPITAL LETTERS to make sure that I can see it. And I would take that in my pipe and smoke it, except I don't smoke. But I guess you just said that to be unkind. But congratulations, you really made yourself look better than me. Nobody is to be respected more than someone who tries to put others down, right? It must just be my silly, empathic, womanly weakness that makes me "naive and simplistic" in respecting others and giving them the benefit of the doubt until they give me a reason based on their own actions to condemn them. I'm sure some day I'll find a good man who can protect me from myself and put me down until I learn to hate the people he tells me to hate.</p><p></p><p>Any girl who accepts an abuser into her life has a problem and has made a bad decision. But don't pretend that all abusive men are Muslims or that no Sikhs are abusive men. Then it would you who was being naive. Certainly, the Gurus did not mean for people to put themselves in bad situations when they taught respect for other people. But they did mean that you should not put people into classes based upon their religion, because all religions can be a path to enlightenment, to virtue. Some of the SGGS was written by Muslims. The first stone of the Golden Temple was laid by a Muslim. Ranjit Singh, the last king of Punjab, married a Muslim woman. If someone is targeting people as Sikhs as people to persecute that is wrong. It is wrong to target people because they are black; it is wrong to target or demean people because you believe they are of a lower caste than you are. It is wrong to target people because they are Muslim. _All_ people are equal. _All_ people are children of God. This is what being a Sikh is about and it is these concepts that Sikhs died defending, not just themselves. Sikhs died for freedom and the belief of equality - not just for Sikh people. To demean others in the name of Sikhism is an insult to the principles they died for. People aren't Sikh because they are born to Sikh parents. It is the way that you act that makes you a Sikh. Sikhism is in your heart, not your skin, your blood, or how you dress.

[QUOTE="Amandeep Kaur, post: 51604, member: 4085"] People doing stuff like that to _any_ people is wrong. As a Sikh, you should recognize all people as "your people." If you want to talk about helping people, calling them stupid and naive, condemning them, telling them they are getting what they deserve only drives them away from safety, help, and truth. Women warriors sacrificed just like men did. And they were of the let's be friends with everyone type. They just defended themselves when others were attacking them. The Sikhs were peaceful. They simply didn't lie down and die when told to. I don't consider the writings in the SGGS to be "bollox" and they are what dictate my views. It is plain that hatred breeds only more hatred and all violence is born of hatred. If you want to make a better world, you can only start by controlling yourself. And if what you say is true about the condition of young Sikh girls in the UK, then treating them like **** from our side certainly isn't going to fix anything. If anything, it gives them more of a reason to run away from men like yourself. I don't delude myself into thinking that Sikhs are always good and kind. The Sikhs have suffered a lot of injustice, it's true. But Sikhs have also killed innocent people, mistakenly believing that their actions were right. In the end, people are people. Men are men. Women are women. And one does not have to be a Sikh to be virtuous. One does not have to not be a Sikh to be scum. If I let go of my ideals and don't keep believing in the potential for good in people, then I cannot help create a better world. Violent, hateful words, violent, hateful actions, violent, hateful thoughts make problems worse. I cannot change the world and the people in it by hating it and hating them and giving them a reason to want to hurt me. So as for what I'm doing to make it better? I am trying my best to be the kind of person I want to believe in. I'm not perfect, but I try to do right by everybody. I try to be open to help people that need help. I try not to toss others aside as though they do not contain the same complexity and depth that I do. And I try to believe that everyone has the potential to be the kind of person I want to live with in the world. If no one keeps that door open, then it will close. If that is lala land, I'd rather live there. If I kill a Muslim today, he will only come and kill my children tomorrow. And then one day, my children may go kill his innocent children as well. Violence fixes nothing. Violence on any level - even mental - closes doors. The reason that Sikhs believe Muslims are bad is because of the violence associated with our history with them. If you commit that same violence and if you act in hatred, you cannot claim to be better. You may not be trying to ruin girls of other races, but you certainly have been demeaning to a girl of your own race. I am not simply "getting all emotional" as you say. That's a cute accusation to make, one that rests on unfavorable stereotypes of female weakness. I am, in fact, capable of reading. You don't need to use CAPITAL LETTERS to make sure that I can see it. And I would take that in my pipe and smoke it, except I don't smoke. But I guess you just said that to be unkind. But congratulations, you really made yourself look better than me. Nobody is to be respected more than someone who tries to put others down, right? It must just be my silly, empathic, womanly weakness that makes me "naive and simplistic" in respecting others and giving them the benefit of the doubt until they give me a reason based on their own actions to condemn them. I'm sure some day I'll find a good man who can protect me from myself and put me down until I learn to hate the people he tells me to hate. Any girl who accepts an abuser into her life has a problem and has made a bad decision. But don't pretend that all abusive men are Muslims or that no Sikhs are abusive men. Then it would you who was being naive. Certainly, the Gurus did not mean for people to put themselves in bad situations when they taught respect for other people. But they did mean that you should not put people into classes based upon their religion, because all religions can be a path to enlightenment, to virtue. Some of the SGGS was written by Muslims. The first stone of the Golden Temple was laid by a Muslim. Ranjit Singh, the last king of Punjab, married a Muslim woman. If someone is targeting people as Sikhs as people to persecute that is wrong. It is wrong to target people because they are black; it is wrong to target or demean people because you believe they are of a lower caste than you are. It is wrong to target people because they are Muslim. _All_ people are equal. _All_ people are children of God. This is what being a Sikh is about and it is these concepts that Sikhs died defending, not just themselves. Sikhs died for freedom and the belief of equality - not just for Sikh people. To demean others in the name of Sikhism is an insult to the principles they died for. People aren't Sikh because they are born to Sikh parents. It is the way that you act that makes you a Sikh. Sikhism is in your heart, not your skin, your blood, or how you dress. If you are proud of your heritage, yo[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=Black]u should embrace the teachings that make it unique. Here is some "bollox" for you.
