PATRIOTS: KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INDIAN SIKH WITH A TURBAN & ISLAMIC/MUSLIM HEADGEAR:
Please take the time to read and Understand the differences. During active duty in the Corps I have had the honor to fight in Specops alongside these brave loyal men.
I know of and vouch for their integrity.
Most Americans mistake Sikhs for Muslims due to their turbans, which often
makes Sikhs targets of attacks meant for Muslims.
Sikhs are not MUSLIM and are mortal enemies of Muslims. Islam has been trying to destroy Sikhs for hundreds of years. Read up!
Please learn the
differences in Sikh and Muslim headgear below. You might be able
to save a Sikh’s life one day or maybe he will save yours.
I urge all those who read this to find a Sikh person with a Turban and let him know that you appreciate him for being a loyal American. He may not sound like you, but 99.9% of them are 100% loyal to America. In 130 years there has never been a Sikhs act of Terror against America.
Sikhs have been a part of the American populace for more than 130 years. Near the end of the 19th century, the state of Punjab of British India was hit hard by British practices of mercantilism. Many Sikhs emigrated to the United States and began arriving to work on farms in California. They traveled via Hong Kong to Angel Island, California, the western counterpart to Ellis Island in New York Harbor.
If you see a man walking down the
street wearing a pointed turban, there is 99.9% chance that he is a Sikh, a
follower of a monotheistic religion that started in the 15th century in
India. Sikhs proudly wear the turban as part of their religious and
cultural heritage. Sikhs are often mistaken for Muslims or Arabs. They
are neither. Sikhism is an independent religion and is in no way related
to Islam.
SIKH MEN commonly
wear a peaked turban that serves partly to cover their long hair, which
is never cut out of respect for God’s creation. Devout Sikhs also do
not cut their beards, so many Sikh men comb out their facial hair and
then twist and tuck it up into their turbans along with the hair from
their heads.
Sikhism originated in northern India and Pakistan in the
15th century and is one of the youngest of the world’s monotheistic
religions. There are an estimated 18 million Sikhs in the world, with
some 2 million spread throughout North America, Western Europe and the
former British colonies.
About Sikhism and Islam
Sikhism, founded in fifteenth century Punjab on the teachings
of Guru Nanak Dev and ten successive Sikh Gurus (the last one being the
sacred text Guru Granth Sahib), is the fifth-largest organized religion
in the world. This system of religious philosophy and expression has
been traditionally known as the Gurmat (literally the counsel of the
gurus) or the Sikh Dharma. Sikhism originated from the word Sikh, which
in turn comes from the Sanskrit root śiṣya meaning "disciple" or
"learner", or Sikshameaning "instruction".
---- "SIKHS WILL NEVER BOW TO ISLAM !! -
Pictures shows...Sikh women Martyrs of Punjab (1752) -----
ISLAM HAS BEEN AT FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS!!
March 6, 1752 A.D., Muin-ul-Malk, Governor of Lahore (now Pakistan),
also known as Mir Mannu; ordered the extermination of Sikhs in his area
& had the men-folk beheaded publicly, with the younger unmarried
girls sold or distributed among the jihadis. The women and children had a
different fate and were taken captives & keep
hungry in the Lahore jail. Starving women were forced to operate heavy
wheat grindstones and were given the option of conversion to Islam or
suffer consequences. They unanimously chose to remain steadfast to their
faith in the face of certain death, upon which the Muslim guards
gruesomely massacred over 300 infants and children, IMPALING them on
spears. Chopping their limbs, bodies of babies were RIPPED open to take
out Internal Organs which were then garlanded around their mothers
necks. One by one many Sikh women suffered such brutal atrocities but
they all chose to remain steadfast to their Sikh faith instead of
embracing Islam.
Miraculously though, before the Womens' turn
came to be slaughtered, the surviving Sikh women were rescued by the
Akalis (Sikh horsemen) sometime after the death of Mir Mannu on
November 4, 1753. One can guess, that similar barbarity must have
befallen on Sikh babies at other prisons where their mothers could not
be rescued to tell their part of tragedy.
Incidents like these
run in thousands if not more, and were spread over entire Punjab region,
the evidence for many such gruesome atrocities come not from the
survivors such as these women, but interestingly from the Muslim
chroniclers themselves who very proudly mention these infidel slayings
as a "service to Islam ". Such as one account by Nur Ahmad Chishti who
recorded that Mir Mannu “killed thousands of Sikhs” daily. Once, on the
day of Muslim festival, he beheaded 1100 Sikhs” in public.
Even today, 200 years later, Islamists are doing the same Islam
barbarity upon the Yezidi women and children in Iraq, at the time of
writing this article.
Could anything be more painful for Sikh
women than to watch and witness the gruesome butchery of their own sons
and husbands? These women maintained strong conviction in their Sikh
faith in the face of extreme atrocites. In those days Sikhs were
persecuted because they were considered infidels by Muslims & today
Sikhs become victims in the United States because they are confused with
Muslims. Its my hope that readers will share & help avoid such
confusion.
Some people may wonder why didn't these women
convert for a moment to save their children & themselves, be
released & when free then go back to worshipping your old religion
again? this way atleast they could save their & their babies life
and go on worshipping your old religion like before once you have
appeased the Muslims by fake-converting to Islam ?
-- the
important thing here is that the Sikh resistance shown by these women
was not a fight to worship in "Sikh way" rather than "Islamic way", the
reader should not mistakenly consider this heroic resistance of Sikh
women as some blind intoxication with Sikhism so much so that they
sacrificed their children but foolishly refused to abandon Sikhism. The
Sikh women here were not being obstinate about "being a Sikh to the last
moment of breath". This sacrifice shown here is the highest epitome of
fight for principles in Sikh history, for which life had to be given.
This Sikh resistance here, was primarily to stop the spread of Islamic
ideology in India at all costs; instilling a blind faith & a cult
like commitment to die for Sikhism was NOT the objective here as it
might seem to some. The Sikhs of that time understood very well the
dangers of Islam & the hate it perpetuates towards humanity. If
Islam was just another peaceful religion, then the Sikhs could just as
well have converted to Islam if it was just a spiritual & peaceful
religion like any other religion; meaning why die for Sikhism if all
religions are same? The only way to stop the hateful ideology of Islam,
was not to give in to forced Islamic conversion at all costs. Infact
this was the only option available to them, today Islam has a very weak
chance against the advent of internet and democracy in many powerful
nations; but in those times many powerful civilizations were rapidly
collapsing in the face of Islamic jihad. In India in one generation,
either all infidels would be dead or would have converted to Islam.
Converting to Islam to save ones' neck was already common place &
the 'logical thing' to do during this time in the spread of Islamic rule
in India. Many infidels in India who were forced to convert to Islam to
save their necks, actually did indeed convert to Islam, and then went
on to practice their old Hindu / Buddhist religion secretly inside their
homes; but outwardly they put on a Islamic name, Islamic
rituals/circumcision, Muslim beard just to save their necks. Over a few
generations, they became more Islamic, more radicalized and started to
feel a connection with pan-Islamic pride and anti-infidel mindset
radicalized them and within a few generations, the descendants of once
forced-converted-closet Hindus had turned into the same monster, their
ancestors had tried to save themselves from. Today their descendants are
called "Pakistani's", the world's finest producer of ongoing terrorism
and a nuclear contributor to Muhammads' 1400 year old legacy of jihad.
The ancestors of present day Muslims were all Closet-Hindus at one time.
They practiced ancient Hindu festivals like Holi upto 2 or 3
generations even after converting to Islam.Even today some of
Pakistani's keep their old Hindu surnames.
This Sikh
resistance as shown here, was the fight against Islamic ideology and its
spread across human minds, and for this sacrifices such as that of
these brave women had to be made, not because they were careless about
their babies life, nor that they were intoxicated with Sikhism as is
commonly seen in many blind cult faiths, but because one of the
Principles of Sikhism is to put welfare of society above ones'
individual welfare. The purpose of a Sikhs' life is not to be selfish
about one's survival but about the survival of "society" / "community"
at large, this means the extent of harm done by self-sacrifice of these
Sikh women is minor as compared to the damage to the society that would
have been done if Islam is allowed to be spread in the Indian society.
This can be seen today, old civilizations now turned Islamic.
Had these women converted to Islam they would have saved their lives
and their babies, but it would have lead to perpetual spread of Islamic
poison in society, as we can see with the emergence of Pakistan, which
is far worse than personal death of these women & the immense grief
of massacre of their babies. It was only after this immense sacrifice
that the Sikhs less than 5% of Punjab, were able to rule over Punjab and
tame the Muslim majority areas. No other episode in history has seen a
slaughtered tribe taking the enemy head on in less than a generations
time; and rendering North India free of Islam. In the grand scheme of
life, the sacrifice of these women was necessary.
- On another
note, humans are social animals. Its called Pack mentality... Muslims
love it. Once anybody converts, Muslims will shout out loud as when
some celebrity converts to Islam, they mean to show that as an example
that Islam is true. If these women had converted even for a moment, an
example would have been set; and a lot more people would not have stood
up to fight against islam. The idea was to show strong resistance at all
costs to stand up against Islamic oppression & you you couldn't put
an end to Islam in India if these brave Sikh men & women just
converted..
These brave women sacrificed their babies & set a
great precedent at that time. Taking inspiration from these brave women
& other Sikh martyrdom that followed many more people joined the
Sikh resistance & did not accept forced conversions and fiercely
fought against Islamic oppression. Within next 50 years, Sikhs who were
less than 5% in Punjab, not only destroyed & took over the Islamic
empire in Punjab, but also ruled over that region which was majority
Muslim something unparalleled in history till date, it is to say that
Sikhism on the verge of being extinction, did not run away to safer
parts of the world, but stood right there steadfast and rather kicked
the enemy out of Punjab. By 1800, Punjab with a sizeable Muslim
population was ruled over by a Sikh emperor who tamed their jihadi
tendencies, by closing several mosques that called for jihad, banned
muslim calls to azaans in the streets of his capital and wrested half of
Afghanistan east of Khybar pass. This put a stop to Islamic spread in
India. Today there is no Islam in as much as half of Punjab (todays'
North India). Sikhs who numbered less than 5% of a population could not
have saved their future generations from Islam, but for the Bravery of
these women. In the grand scheme of life, the sorrow & sacrifices
faced by the Sikh women must have been small and necessary. Today we are
in much better and safer position with the advent of internet to face
Islamic jihad. But will we use our freedoms today to carry on the fight
of these women? These women belong not just to Sikh faith but a beacon
of inspiration for all of us freedom loving people.THESE ARE MUSLIMS AND THEIR HEADGEAR.. BEWARE OF THESE GUYS!!
MUSLIM RELIGIOUS ELDERS,
like this man from Yemen, often wear a turban wrapped around a cap
known in Arabic as a kalansuwa. These caps can be spherical or conical,
colorful or solid white, and their styles vary widely from region to
region. Likewise, the color of the turban wrapped around the kalansuwa
varies. White is thought by some Muslims to be the holiest turban color,
based on legends that the prophet Mohammed wore a white turban. Green,
held to be the color of paradise, is also favored by some. Not all
Muslims wear turbans. In fact, few wear them in the West, and in major
cosmopolitan centers around the Muslim world, turbans are seen by some
as passé.
AFGHAN MUSLIM MEN wear
a variety of turbans, and even within the Taliban, the strict Islamic
government that controls much of the country, there are differences in
the way men cover their heads. This Taliban member, for example, is
wearing a very long turban — perhaps two twined together — with one end
hanging loose over his shoulder. The Taliban ambassador to Afghanistan,
on the other hand, favors a solid black turban tied above his forehead.
And some men in Afghanistan do not wear turbans at all, but rather a
distinctive Afghan hat.
IRANIAN MULLAHS wear
black or white turbans wrapped in the flat, circular style shown in
this image of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The word
turban is thought to have originated among Persians living in the area
now known as Iran, who called the headgear a dulband.
ARAB MUSLIM KAFFIYEH is not technically a turban. It is really a rectangular 
piece
of cloth, folded diagonally and then draped over the head — not wound
like a turban. Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader, has made the
kaffiyeh famous in recent times. However, the kaffiyeh is not solely
Palestinian. Men in Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Arab Persian Gulf
states wear kaffiyehs in colors and styles that are particular to their
region. Jordanians, for example, wear a red and white kaffiyeh, while
Palestinians wear a black and white one. And a man from Saudi Arabia
would likely drape his kaffiyeh differently than a man from Jordan. The
black cord that holds the kaffiyeh on one’s head is called an ekal.
DESERT PEOPLES & MUSLIM TERRORISTS have
long used the turban to keep sand out of their faces, as this man from
Africa is likely doing. Members of nomadic tribes have also used turbans
to disguise themselves. And sometimes, the color of a person’s turban
can be used to identify his tribal affiliation from a distance across
the dunes. This man’s turban is a very light blue. In some parts of
North Africa, blue is thought to be a good color to wear in the desert
because of its association with cool water.
