Xtreme, I am not sikh but you should not offend any body by saying things like "Guru Nanak Garbage" cos someone (With stinking mind)might use the similar language for your Religious leaders. And by the way that was in a reply to an earlier post, in case you hadn't noticed.

the garbage comment isn't aimed at Guru Nanak, it's aimed at those who are using what happened centuries ago to justify religious hatred today, hence the advice to move on.

If a sikh girl wants to marry a muslim guy are you going to object on the premise that it can't happen because Aurangzeb was horrible to Guru Nanak 400 yrs ago?

If you go back and follow the posts and replies you would know that it was a reply to Munny regarding a sikh saying they can not marry to a muslim and munny was confused whether that was the case.... and why so. and I expalined it why. I did not say it should or it should NOT be the case. If you don't understand something you can always ask again. there is no need to get upset cos that is weekness.,, I don't mean to be rude.

reminds me of our own shia sunni divide...for some its just a difference, for some it is a huge mistrust and hatred

It is not insecurity at all. It is all due to bondage of customs. Come over to Delhi, Bombay or Calcutta and you will find many inter religious marriages living a normal life.
What is insecurity? In an Islamic society, if someone marries one from other religion, they compel the other to convert to Islam and it is true in majority of the cases.
Is it also due to insecurity?

And Zakil bhaiji, for you if Aurangzeb killed children of Sikh Guru, and all society is not guilty for that, I agree, but for your information the Pakistan Army has gallantry award on the name of the same Aurangzeb.
How can we beleive your sincierity?

i saw the programme world weddings, and i enjoyed it apart from the un-called for but expected muslim bashing in the 1st 3 mins of the programme, the girl anjali i phink she was called her father said i have some muslim friends but they have a history of violence and he said stuff about the moghuls and how during their rule ppl were forrced into converting/reverting to islam back then and he said marriage with a muslim guy was a big :nono:

i felt for the girl deeply when she was not accompanied to her 2nd wedding with asad {muslim guy} {1st marriage being forced upon her} although her dad promised @ asad’s house he would come to the wedding but not contribute towards the wedding nor would his relatives turn up.

it was a very big sacrifice for the hindu couple one can only imagine how they would have felt seeing their daughter {hindu then} wanting to marry a muslim guy, i was angry @ how the girl was not supported by her family and how her dad stopped talking to her for 6 years cos of her secret relationship with asad.

it was brave of her to leave her religion behind + her parents i suppose as her dad said after her marriage she would have nothing to do woth them. shame that is. anyways a really touching story of a coupletold in just 30 mins

also i am not happy with some ppl dissing guru nanak, he was a piest man, and didn’t he write poetry praising the shaan of hazrat mohammed-e- mustapha :saw: ] after his visit to makkah and madina during his travelling years?

i watched tht. it was funny when while commenting on the brides wedding dress Assad say " Array yea see through hay kya mughay mar pitwaneey hay":rotfl:

i guess u havnt seen Bend it like Bekham then :slight_smile:

Well it works both ways.

I come from Kerala where there is a sizeable Muslim popuation, and experience here is that

a) quite often if a Muslim girls weds out of the community she is disowned

b) Most parents will come to terms with a Hindu Christian intermarriage with some difficulty but, a Hindu/christian intermarriage with a Muslim, is seen as a very difficult thing to accept, in some ways that the reasons as I understand it is that in General the perception is that th girl will be expected to convert to islam, subsequently there will be a lot of difficulty in adjusting to this etc.

Further, there is a lot of underlying tension of violence that adds to this threat....

The reason is that in most cases, the woman if she is hindu is told to convert, therefore her lifestyle and what is was before is now gone, and to her family she is no different than a stranger..If she was allowed to remain hindu and do the things hindu's do, Diwali, etc,etc, then maybe the hindu family wouldnt have such a big deal about it..

If what happened in Karbala 700 years ago is still grieved by muslims, hindus should forget what Auranzeb did 400 years ago? Hindus don't hate all mughal emperors. Akbar is universally respected in India. Babar, Humayun, Shah Jehan are not despised. Auranzeb was a special in his ferocity against hindus. Mr. Xtreme you can choose to forget Auranzeb. We cannot.

Arvind, it is the stupids like Aurangzeb who have done more harm than good for mankind. How can God, who religionists think has created the whole univese including HIMSELF, fobids one human to marry another, who is also Gods creation.
