[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 186096, member: 35"] Lorraine ji Welcome to the forum. You drive home an interesting point. The quoted material is here This is the paragraph you refer to - QFT. The paragraph is fishy. The paragraph refers to "the leaders of the Sikh community in Canada." Who are they? No names mentioned. Then it goes on to say, "There are some extremist groups who insist (my translation) on the turban..." Again I ask, who are these groups specifically? So far we have 2 statements that count for less than hearsay. There is a lot of hinting around and no one or no group has been named. The alleged leaders go on to say that the extremist groups are "forcing an illegitimate request". Because we do not know who the "leaders" are and do not know who the "extremists" are either, all we have so far is shadow-boxing. The paragraph goes on to assert that "it is time" that the "new arrivals" (?) show that they are "capable of compromise." Again unidentified new arrivals, which I presume is a reference to new immigrants. Now when I connect the dots I get this... someone is trying to intimidate immigrants by making it seem as if there are legitimate leaders in the Sikh community who are scandalized by the illegitimate demands of extremists -- except all the parties to this melodramatic dialog - who they are we cannot tell. Even fishier: the paragraph comes at the end of a new article that pretty much covers the facts of a recent new story in which travel permits were denied to soccer teams in who had planned to play in Montreal. Put it together. A concocted paragraph is disguised as news by piggy-backing on another story that is factual. It is not journalism. It is a charade. The motivations for this can only be ascertained by considering the political agenda of the paper in which it was printed, its editorial board, and the biases of the writer/s. Lorraine ji, [COLOR="Blue"]The expectation that Sikh men tie dastar is enshrined in the Sikh Rehat Maryada or code of religious practice from 1925.
