Shooting at Sikh Temple

[mal]

I don't get it. Why a Sikh temple? That's like attacking Mormon's or the Amish.

Ignorant hatred or maybe yet another madman? Weird or tragic personal beef? It's baffling.

The Amish were attacked... But have the Mormons or the Scientologists been?...

I Think I might see who's REALLY behind all of these Shootings.

Chick-fil-A.



peace...

just lying about me is not proof of anything

Does anybody know why the Sikh's exist? Their original purpose?
I do.

Well, don't leave us hanging.
I'm not interested enough to search it.

Way back when, the Hindi Indians enlisted the biggest largest most fierce people to protect them from the Muslims. Those people became the Sikh's, the Indian military, protecting Indians from Muslims.

No where in Wikipedia is mention of origin.
Learn something about them, I suggest from Indians and more specifically from Sikh's, which is where I gained my knowledge.

History







Sikh history, with respect to Sikhism as a distinct political body, can be said to have begun with the death of the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev in 1606. Sikh distinction was further enhanced by the establishment of the Khalsa (ਖ਼ਾਲਸ&#2622, by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699.[33] The evolution of Sikhism began with the emergence of Guru Nanak as a religious leader and a social reformer during the 15th century in the Punjab. The religious practice was formalised by Guru Gobind Singh on 30 March 1699. The latter baptised five people from different social backgrounds to form Khalsa. The first five, Pure Ones, then baptised Gobind Singh into the Khalsa fold.[34] This gives Sikhism, as an organized grouping, a religious history of around 400 years.

Generally Sikhism has had amicable relations with other religions. However, during the Mughal rule of India (1556–1707), the emerging religion had strained relations with the ruling Mughals. Hindu Hill rajahs fought frequent battles against Guru Gobind Singh because they were largely opposed to Guru Gobind Singh's casteless principles of religion. Prominent Sikh Gurus were killed by Mughals for opposing Mughal persecution of minority religious communities.[35] Subsequently, Sikhism militarized to oppose Mughal hegemony. The emergence of the Sikh Empire under reign of the Maharajah Ranjit Singh was characterised by religious tolerance and pluralism with Christians, Muslims and Hindus in positions of power. The establishment of the Sikh Empire is commonly considered the zenith of Sikhism at a political level,[36] during which time the Sikh Empire came to include Kashmir, Ladakh, and Peshawar. Jarnail Hari Singh Nalwa, the Commander-in-chief of the Sikh army along the North West Frontier, took the boundary of the Sikh Empire to the very mouth of the Khyber Pass. The Empire's secular administration integrated innovative military, economic and governmental reforms.

The months leading up to the partition of India in 1947 were marked by heavy conflict in the Punjab between Sikhs and Muslims. The effect was the religious migration of Punjabi Sikhs and Hindus from West Punjab, mirroring a similar religious migration of Punjabi Muslims in East Punjab.[37]

The 1960s saw growing animosity and rioting between Sikhs and Hindus in India,[38] as the Sikhs agitated for the creation of a Punjab state based on a linguistic basis similar to that by which other states in India had been created. This had also been promised to the Sikh leader Master Tara Singh by Nehru in return for Sikh political support during the negotiations for Indian Independence.[39] Sikhs obtained the Punjab but not without losing some Punjabi speaking areas to Himachal Pradesh and Harayana; most notably, Chandigarh was made Union Territory and the joint capital of Haryana & Punjab Punjab on 1 November 1966. Communal tensions arose again in the late 1970s, fueled by Sikh claims of discrimination and marginalisation by the Hindu dominated Indian National Congress ruling party and the "dictatorial" tactics adopted by the then Indian Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi.[40] Frank[40] argues that Gandhi's assumption of emergency powers in 1975 resulted in the weakening of the "legitimate and impartial machinery of government", and her increasing "paranoia" of opposing political groups led her to instigate a "despotic policy of playing castes, religions and political groups against each other for political advantage". As a reaction against these actions, the Sikh leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale vocalised Sikh sentiment for justice . This accelerated in Punjab a state of communal violence.[41]

Gandhi's 1984 action to defeat Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale led to the attack of the Golden Temple in Operation Bluestar and ultimately led to Gandhi's assassination by her Sikh bodyguards.[41] This resulted in an explosion of violence against the Sikh communities in the anti-Sikh riots which resulted in the massacre of thousands of Sikhs throughout India; Khushwant Singh described the actions as being a Sikh pogrom in which he "felt like a refugee in my country. In fact, I felt like a Jew in Nazi Germany".[42] Since 1984, relations between Sikhs and Hindus have moved towards a rapprochement helped by growing economic prosperity; however, in 2002 the claims of the popular right-wing Hindu organisation the RSS that "Sikhs are Hindus" angered Sikh sensibilities.[43] Many Sikhs still are campaigning for justice for victims of the violence and the political and economic needs of the Punjab espoused in the Khalistan movement.

In 1996 the Special Rapporteur for the Commission on Human Rights on freedom of religion or belief, Abdelfattah Amor (Tunisia, 1993–2004), visited India in order to compose a report on religious discrimination. In 1997,[44] Amor concluded, "it appears that the situation of the Sikhs in the religious field is satisfactory, but that difficulties are arising in the political (foreign interference, terrorism, etc.), economic (in particular with regard to sharing of water supplies) and even occupational fields. Information received from nongovernment (sic) sources indicates that discrimination does exist in certain sectors of the public administration; examples include the decline in the number of Sikhs in the police force and the military, and the absence of Sikhs in personal bodyguard units since the murder of Indira Gandhi".[

If you want to find the whole, unbiased story as it unfolds tune into the Fox News Channel.

I did, starting around 3 - 3:30ish.

While CNN provided live reporting of events, Fox aired a show with a group of conservatives crying about unfair media coverage.

Perhaps they did break into their whinefest long enough to make note of the incident in Wisconsin; I didn't stick around to find out.

Still not origin.
Do you even know any Indian people? More specifically, Sikh's? If you do, ask them.
Wikipedia is sadly lacking on the origin.

LOL, Oh, you're serious (that explains a lot).

Best to tune your computer to 620 WTMJ AM; they're live on scene.

Why a Sikh temple? Ignorance? Hatred? Reports of multiple attackers and hostages. Fucking ugly stuff so far.

One of the temple's committee members, Ven Boba Ri, told the Journal Sentinel that based on communication with people inside the temple, the shooter was a white male in his 30s.

There was that Sikh who was murdered in NJ, a short time after 9/11, because some scumbag just figured the guy was a Muslim. We'll see how this pans out. So far, the police aren't giving out any information regarding the perp.

 

[NoNukes]

Maybe if the perp is Muslim the media will bury the story and the moonbats won't use it as fodder to scream about gun control.

If all of the people in the temple were packing this would not have happened.

FYI, Moghuls were an Islamic Empire that was famous for persecuting anyone who was not a Muslim, and were especially cruel to Hindus. The direct result of the conflict between the Moghuls and the teachings of the Sikh that required them to fight against all oppression led to the establishment of the Sikh Empire. Believe it or not, that makes alan right. This time.
