I read the article and not for one minute did I think, Oh shit, the fellas I work with are all out to blow me up. I just thought, daft buggers, there's bad in all races/religions.
If not then why worry about the press? I've read some of the links you provided and there seem to be some keyboard warriors out there. A few folks talking about the prophet Mohammeds cartoons and how they were stopped from being published therefore Sikhs should stop a repeat of the programme being shown. Almost as if, its good enough for Muslims to show how they are aggrieved, so perhaps we should.
So now your wanting your religion to act as a sensor? Can't help but recall the fuss created when certain Sikhs were unhappy about a stage show in Birmingham!!!!
Yes, I know the title was calling all Singhsm but it was posted in the GD area and I am a nosey sod.
as i said, i've not read the articles or seen the program so i can't comment until i have,but atthe same time i can't say that NO sikhs are involved in dodgy stuff but the saying goes:
not all muslims are terroists, but it seems that all terroists are muslim
i brefily remember something in birmingham as well last year but can't put my finger on what it was, if you would care to refresh my memory i can tell you why peole are kicking off about it
what i can tell you is that we don't have other people complain about what might offend us, if it offends us we will tell you about it, same with the french wanting to ban all religous symbols and wanted us to remove our symbols of sikhism, not going to happen as it's not like wearing a cross, its like getting your hair cut or not wearing a turban or the like, it's difficult to explain but it's not difficult to understand once you understand, if you know what i mean
there is a eureka moment and you get it and then you see what al lthe fuss is about
i'm now going to watch and read what all the fuss is about and then i'll get back to you
and yes, it was difficult to come to terms with what happened with chris benwa as a cose friend of mine knew him in a professional capacity
