[QUOTE="drkhalsa, post: 5267, member: 384"] Dear John As you asked About visting Sikh temple ( GURUDWARA) every body is most welcome in GURUDWARA without any consideration of creed ,race and religion You are very right in saying that a badperson is always bad whether he is sikh muslim or christian member of sikh community do involve in such activities and create confusion and I dont know about this particular event you have mentioned but I do believe this and such happens As i guess as you said they were people in traditional dress of sikhs and with swords and it waas related to 1984 events ( when around 27000 sikhs were massacared in india ) what can say is people who suffred in these killings are very sensetive to issue but if they are senselessly trying to create scene that Offcourse it is against their own religion Sikhism You are right in saying that considering what religion has craeted a mess apresent moment in time any sane person will think that humanity is better off any religion But no religion is gain a religion in atrue sense again you are in same category and there will bw people hating you ( religious people ) and offcouse people of your group willl hate them so you rae in the same game :{-(: [font=Arial][size=3].[/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=3] You rae right in a sense Now let me tell you what i have learned from sikh religion Teachings of Sikh guru were given by them ( 10 gurus) what they said they lived themselves also according to it uptil their last breath .
