RON JOSEPH commented: "Things went really bad when the people started choosing the Sikh Religion over the Muslim. The Muslim Leaders got upset and tortured and killed 6 of the 10 Sikh Leaders without even a fight. When the 4 remaining Sikh Leaders found out what happened, the top Sikh ordered all their men to wear their hair in a Warlike wrap and cover it with a cloth, and always have a sword close by. (Thus the reason for the boys carrying a small plastic knife in school today, a Kirpan ) The Muslims knew they were in a tough fight from then on.’



Ron, I don’t know from where you got your history lesson about sikhs, the above account doesn’t even makes any sense. Although it won’t be proper place to discuss it in detail, for the fear of digressing from the topic, I will try to clear it point by point just for the sake of sharing truth about sikhs & what impact they could have on Canadian society if we trust them blindly & take their words on face value.

1) The origin of sikhism is believe to have started around first half of 16th century with guru Nanak, their first spiritual teacher. Nanak didn’t started any new religion nor wrote any scripture, he was born in Hindu family & lived like a hindu saint. He was the one who went to mecca & kaba disguised as a muslim saint for pilgrimage because he firmly believe islam, like hinduism, to be a great religion. He had both hindu & muslims as his followers who latter came to be known as ‘sikh’, a distortion of sanskrit/devnagri word ‘shishya’ meaning disciple. After his death the torch of the sect (still not a separate & with no specific name) was passed on to the second & further down to other gurus till the 5th one who was the first one to be killed by mughal emperor Jahangir in the beginning of 17th century A.D. His execution was not for religious reasons but political, family rivalry & jealousy among other sect leaders who viewed the growing influence of this sect chipping away on their following (hence grants & incomes). After his death his son became the head of the sect, which still practiced peace & amity. Then came the ninth guru Tegh Bahadur in succession who was executed by tyrannical mughal emperor aurangzeb in 1675 A.D. Aurangzeb was a religious fanatic & openly ordered to kill hindu priests & other religious heads who refuse to either convert or pay jizya. Tegh Bahadur haughtily refused to accept either and was executed publicly.

So, there were 2 executions of sikh gurus by mughals and not 6 as you’ve stated.

2) After execution of his father the tenth (and last) guru adopted militancy instead of peace as his policy.

It was he (guru Gobind Singh) who in 1699 mandated 5 articles of faith (or pretension??), including a dagger (kirpan), for his followers as a sign of defiance to mughal tyrannical rule and henceforth christened them as ‘khalsa’, the one who is owned by the ‘highest authority’ (not the ‘pure one’s as the term is usually described by ignorant sikhs). Nowhere did he mandated for a turban (headgear), that’s a cultural article adopted from mohammedans and has nothing to so with the sikh/khalsa religion.

This answers your second assumption about kirpan & turban.

It took 200 years for sikhs to become a militant sect from a peaceful one.

3) No, muslims were not in tough time because of sikhs/khalsa. After Aurangzeb the mughal rule went into a decline because of internal fighting for succession to the throne. Meanwhile different hindu factions (marathas & rajputs) and pathans (afghan soldiers) started chipping away the remainder of mughal empire. Starting with the creation of khalsa till the first (and only) sikh ruler Ranjit Singh came to the scene in punjab sikhs have little impact on indian history and its a known historical fact, which is seldom acknowledged by sikhs, that khlasa army under Gobind Singh & thereafter till Ranjit Singh seized control of punjab never won any battle against mughals/muslims. The real & final blow to the muslim/mughal power came when East India Co. and its successor British Empire crushed & annihilated the remnant mughal empire thus ending mohammedan rule in India. Ranjit Singh was able to accomplish what others couldn’t for he had several european & american soldiers/generals in his army which was trained on european drill pattern & battle tactics by these soldiers of fortune.

Hope this clears your last notion about muslims knowing they are in tough fight.



Ron, I agree chicken andrew scheer is not an answer to turdo but it’ll be very naive of us to assume that a turbaned version of obama could be our saviour. He can do more damage than turdo could ever imagine and you won’t be able to criticize him because he’ll throw the race card on your face anytime you try to criticize his policy as he has already done.
