Pakistan allows Muslim procession but bans Sikhs. Wake up Khalistanis, you are
being used by Pakistan as ling as you fight against India. Pakistan will
crush you guys in one day if Indian freedom is gone. Foolish Sikhs are
reconstructing damaged Mosques in Punja. Please read the story.

Pakistani authorities forbid Sikh processions, allow Muslim ones
They cite security concerns, but their concern for security appears
inconsistent. Islamic Tolerance Alert from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan:
"Pakistan prohibits visiting Sikh pilgrims' nagar kirtan," by Amir Mir for
DNAIndia, November 23 (thanks to S.K.S.):
Pakistani authorities have stopped hundreds of visiting Sikh pilgrims from
organising nagar kirtan, a religious procession, to mark the birth anniversary
of Guru Nanak Dev at Gurdwara Janam Asthan in Punjab's Nankana Sahib district.
>The pilgrims have also been prohibited, citing security concerns, from
>performing parkash (prayer) at Nankana Sahib's seven adjacent gurdwaras
>affiliated to Guru Nanak.
>Nagar kirtan carries Sikhs' sacred book Guru Granth Sahib in a palki (palanquin)
>through the streets of Nankana Sahib touching seven gurdwaras affiliated to Baba
>Guru Nanak....
>There used to be an air conditioned bus to carry Guru Granth Sahib, but the
>practice was suspended after law and order situation in Pakistan started

>The Sikh visitors have criticised the restrictions imposed by the Pakistani

Uh, yeah.

Sikhism is monotheistic, tolerant, relatively progressive, and allows women
great movement and freedom. It claims that revelation is progressive and
ongoing.
In a word, Sihkism's tenets are seen as a huge threat to the followers of "the
religion of peace."

I'm waiting for Hillary to condemn this has vociferiously as she did the EU
countries' that banned the burqa in public.
Talk about moral unbalance.

Islamic tolerance to other religions is such a sham that Muslim apologists all
over the world yap about!!! Pakistan is a prime example; Hindu, Sikh minority
population in Pakistan has dwindled from about 18% at the time of partition of
India in 1947 to about 3% or less now. What happened here, how did the
population go down so drastically. These people were forcibly converted to Islam
or they left Pakistan. Such wonderful tolerant people these Muslims are. Just
for comparison, the Muslim population in India has grown four folds in the same
time, from about 40 million to 150 million now. Muslim hypocrisy is so badly
exposed by this comparison.
These days there is a daily occurrence of kidnapping of Hindu young girls and
forcible conversion to Islam and then marrying them to Muslims. Police does not
interfere, and the girls are forbidden even to contact their Hindu families
since they are Muslim now. Sad, sad...
The story in Muslim Bangladesh is exactly the same where the Hindu and christian
minority population has gone down from about 23% at the time of independence to
less than 8% now.
Though Pakistan allowed Indian Sikhs to visit the holy birth place of Guru Nanak
but did not allow them to take out religious procession. Just shows the Muslim
tolerance once again.

"The Sikh visitors have criticised the restrictions imposed by the Pakistani
authorities, saying if Muslims are allowed to take out processions, they too
should be given permission...."
These Sikh visitors apparently have no idea how things work in muslim majority
areas. They take for granted their freedoms in India, UK, USA, Canada, Australia
etc. and it probably does not even 'occur' to them that there are places where
things are different, and where they will have to accept whatever is dictated to
them.
I think I agree with Pakistan authorities for not permitting the religious
procession. Lately, the Taliban and other true muslims have been bomb-attacking
the minorities places of worship and their processions. It would be wise of
Sikhs to wait until the environment in that country is better. Though I think
they should have been permitted to perform Parkash at the seven other gurudwaras
on the condition that they do not reach there as a procession.

I grew up a Sikh. I never heard of that, though I am no scholar. Where did you
get that info?

I am not sure about that. Sikhism does not have fear of hell or rewards of
heaven among its teaching. Those two things are primitive psychology that is
hard to overcome. Secondly, Sikhism has been in the area for centuries and
barely any muslims converted. But then miracles do happen :-)

Sikhs have always been persecuted by Muslims, sometimes involving breaking on
the wheel and boiling alive:
