Comparative Religion Series
Version 2
Preface
Sikhism, being a fairly young religion, has many elements that
mirror the wider society’s perceptions of right and wrong, and
Sikhs tend to view the world from this vantage point. Therefore
ideas such as oneness of mankind, tolerance, human rights,
gender equality, respect for other faiths, fair treatment of
prisoners, sanctity of life, truthfulness, etc are ideals that easily
resonate with the community. These are ideals that are inline
with 21st century values.
However, there are older paths which embrace norms that are
far removed from what we have come to view as acceptable
universal moral values and behaviour. In that ‘parallel world’,
deception, rape, plunder and cold-blooded murder is acceptable
in some situations – and even religiously ordained.
Hogwash you say? Read on…..!

Sikh Girls Targeted By Predatory Forces
Of late, there have been several cases of young Sikh girls
being drugged and raped by their Muslim friends, and then an
attempt is made to force them into Islam by telling them that a
video of the rape would be released to friends, family and the
online community at large if they refuse.
Other girls, with rudimentary knowledge of Sikhism, have been
told various tales against Sikhism and the Sikh Gurus in order
to lure them into Islam.
This presentation was created to help empower Sikhs,
especially young impressionable girls, with knowledge
about the role and position of women in Sikhism in
relation to Islam, and the problem of aggressive
conversions. The message is put across using mostly
excerpts from reports, religious texts, historical records
as well as online video resources.
Police protect girls forced
to convert to Islam
“Extremist Muslims who force vulnerable
teenage girls to convert to Islam are
being targeted by police, Met. Chief Sir
Ian Blair (left) has revealed.
Police are working with universities to
clamp down on "aggressive
conversions" during which girls are
beaten up and forced to abandon
university courses”.

Punjabi Girls Groomed for Sex!
Racially-Motivated Sexual-Exploitation
“The grooming of Punjabi girls for sex by
predatory Muslim men is an increasing problem
for the Punjabi community, with this vile practice
taking place throughout towns and cities across
Britain.
According to Hindu and Sikh Support groups
and community leaders, girls as young as 13
have been targeted by gangs of mainly PakistaniMuslim men. These men initially engage in
seemingly innocent relationships with ‘Kuffr’
girls (non-Muslim). These girls are showered in
attention and lured with gifts, drinks and
cigarettes”.

"Islam gives an open
license to Muslim men to
have sexual intercourse
with women
as long as these women
are not Muslims and/or
when these Muslim men
are living in an infidel
country. "

Where are Sikh Girls Targeted?
• Schools & universities
• Social gatherings
• Vesaikhi Melas (yes,
no kidding!)
• Parties, carnivals
• Entertainment outlets,
including bhangra
events, etc.
This is a global problem. We have encountered cases from Europe, USA, India, South-East Asia,
Australia, etc. Many of the Muslim boys tend to be mostly Punjabis of Muslim/Pakistani origin and
easily gain trust as a result. Girls seldom go public out of shame, but have talked about it privately.
Taqiyya – Islamic Concept of Lying In
Order to Achieve Objectives
".....lying to hide or misrepresent the true nature of
Islam to the unbelieving world is actually part and
parcel of Islam’s method of carrying out jihad
against non-Muslims.”
Muhammad bin Maslamah said, "O Messenger, we
shall have to tell lies." , "Say what you like,"
Muhammad replied. "You are absolved, free to say
whatever you must.“
Ishaq:365, Tabari VII:94
Taqiyya is based on Koran verses 3:28 and 16:106 as well as hadith,
tafsir literature, and juridical commentaries.
“Truth is high; higher still is truthful living.”
SGGS 62
Application of
‘Taqiyya’
Muslims can apply ‘Al Taqqiya’ to relationships,
therefore it is permissible to lie to a woman to
persuade her, make her feel good or keep her
quiet. It is permissible in Islam that Taqqiya can
be used to allow a Muslim to gain any
advantage over a Kuffr” (non-Muslim).
“It allows Muslims to say things like ‘I Love
you’, ‘You are so Beautiful’, to form
relationships, with the intention to keep them
as concubines or convert them down the line”.
“One who speaks lies shall fall into hell and burn!”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib (SGGS) Pg 142

Women In Sikhism
"In a woman man is conceived, From a woman he is born.
With a woman he is betrothed and married. With a woman he
contracts friendship. Why denounce her, the one from whom
even kings are born? From a woman a woman is born. None
may exist without a woman."
SGGS 473
“A Sikh casting his eyes upon the beautiful womenfolk of families other than
his own regards them as his mothers, sisters and daughters.”
Bhai Gurdas Ji*
"A woman, is the favourite in her parental home, loved dearly by her father and
mother. In the home of her in-laws, she is the pillar of the family, the guarantee of
its good fortune... Sharing in spiritual wisdom and enlightenment and with noble
qualities endowed, a woman, the other half of man, escorts him to the door of
liberation."
Bhai Gurdas Ji, Varan V.16
*Guru Arjan Dev Ji referred to Bhai Gurdas Ji’s Varan as the "Key" to the Guru Granth Sahib.
Hadiths*: About Women
Women are deficient in mind and religion:
Mohammed asked some women, "Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half that of a
man?" The women said, "yes," He said, "This is because of the deficiency of the
woman's mind." Vol. 3:826
Mohammed to women: "I have not seen any one more deficient in intelligence and
religion than you." Vol. 2:541
Women are a bad omen:
Mohammed said, "Bad omen is in the woman, the house and the horse."
Vol. 7:30
Women nullify prayers:
Mohammed said, "Three things corrupt prayer: Women, dogs, and donkeys."
Dawud, Salat 109
Abu
“Why denounce her, the one from whom even kings are born?” SGGS 473
*Hadith are oral traditions relating to the words and deeds of the Islamic prophet Mohammad, and
are important in the interpretation of Islamic philosophy.
Hadiths: Women In Hell
The majority of people in hell are women:
Mohammed said, "I was shown the Hell-fire and that the
majority of its dwellers are women. " Vol. 1:28, 301; Vol.
2:161; Vol. 7:124
"Narrated ‘Imran bin Husain : The Prophet said, ‘I looked
at Hell and saw that the majority of its inhabitants were
women.’" 1 Bukhari vol.4:464 p.305.
"Most hell-dwellers are women. They are ungrateful and
unthankful to their husbands." Bukhari vol.7:125,126 p.96
"Most women in Hell ungrateful to their husbands". Sahih
Muslim vol.2:1926 p.417
Depiction: The prophet’s visit to Hell:
"Most of the women will be in Hell. They had abundant
curses and were ungrateful to their husbands. They are
deficient in reason due to two women’s testimony counting
the same as one man. They are deficient in religion due to
having to leave off prayer during menstruation". Ibn-iMajah vol.5:4003 p.320
Dante's Inferno Canto 28, verses 3031; Illustration by Gustave Dore
1 Muhammad al-Bukhari (810 - 870)
was a famous Islamic scholar most
known for authoring the most
authentic hadith collection named
Sahih Bukhari.
Hadiths: Sex & Marriage
Mohammed's sexual strength is equal to 30 men:
Anas said, "The prophet used to visit all his wives in an hour round, during
the day and night and they were eleven in number." I asked Anas, "Had the
prophet the strength for it?" Anas replied, "We used to say that the prophet
was given the strength of thirty (men)."
Vol. 1:268
Mohammed married a 9 year old girl (‘Aisha’):
"Narrated Aisha that the prophet married her when she was six years old
and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old.“
Vol. 7:64
Allah hurries to please Mohammed's sexual desires:
When the Koranic verse that allows Mohammed to postpone the turn of
any wife was revealed, and when Mohammed said that Allah allowed him
to marry his adopted son's wife, Aisha (one of his wives) told him, "O
Allah's Apostle I do not see but that your Lord hurries in pleasing you!"
Vol. 7:48
Women In Marriage
“They are not wife and husband who only sit together; rather are they
wife and husband who have one spirit in two bodies.”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib pg 788
The Koran likens a woman to a field, to be used by a man as
he wills:
“Your women are like a tilth for you (to cultivate),
go unto your tilth as ye will.” Sura 2, verse 223
See video: a wife must submit to her husband’s desires
It legitimizes a man’s dominance over his wife in a marriage:
“Men are the maintainers of women…”
It also tells husbands to beat their disobedient wives:
“…those (women) on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them,
and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them;
then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them.”
Koran 4:34
Islamic Heaven: Sensual Pleasures for Males
The Islamic Paradise or Jannat promises
male martyrs materialistic things which they
couldn't obtain in the harsh desert. The
paradise contains six important items:
beautiful ‘ houris’ (virgins), young boys to
sodomise, and water, wine, fruits & wealth!
Deflower 72* fair, dark-eyed virgin girls….
"As for the righteous, they shall surely triumph. Theirs shall
be gardens and vineyards, and high- bosomed virgins for
companions: a truly overflowing cup."
Koran Chapter 78
"...They will sit with bashful, dark-eyed virgins, as chaste as
the sheltered eggs of ostriches."
Koran Chapter 37
"...They shall recline on couches ranged in rows. To darkeyed houris (virgins) we shall wed them..."
Koran Chapter 52
"Virgins as fair as corals and rubies. Then which of the
favours of your Lord will you deny ?"
Koran Chapter 55
"In each there shall be virgins chaste and fair... Dark eyed
virgins sheltered in their tents whom neither man nor Jin will
have touched before.. "
….and 28* young pre-pubescent boys!
"Round about them will serve, to them, boys (handsome) as
pearls well-guarded. "
Koran Chapter 52:24
"And round about them will serve boys of perpetual freshness: if
thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered pearls."
Koran Chapter 76:19
Koran Chapter 55
* Hadith Al-Tirmidhi (the Book of Sunah, vol IV) & Ibn Kathir in (Tafsir) of
Surah Al-Rahman
No such rewards, apparently, for Muslim women!
The Women In Prophet Mohammed’s Life
Prophet Mohammed married 15 women and
consummated his marriages with 13 (al-Tabari vol.9
p.126-127). Some records indicate that the number
may have been double this.
At least two of his wives were war booties
(captured in war). These were Juwairiya bint
Harith and Safiyya bint Huyayy bint Akhtab.
Mohammed had concubines too (i.e for sex), e.g:
Mariya bint Sham’un the Copt, and Rayhanah bint
Zayd al-Quraziyyah of the Banu al-Nadir (al-Tabari
vol.9 p.141). Rayhanah, was taken after
Mohammed’s forces massacred her people and
family (illustration on right).
The story of Safiyya and Rayhanah is narrated later
in this presentation.

Sikh Teachings: ‘LUST’
“The lustful, lecherous man desires many women, and he never stops
peeking into the homes of others!”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib pg 672
“Engrossed in maya and sexual desire, the fool does not understand.”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib pg 43-8
“Drunk with sexual desire and other great sins, you go astray, and do not
distinguish between vice and virtue.
Sri Guru Granth Sahib pg 93-9
“Your eyes water, and your intellect and strength have left you; but still, your
sexual desire churns and drives you on!”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib pg 93-11
“The lover of women is obsessed with sex.”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib pg 225
Treatment of Women In War
Sikhs took up arms in response to Islamic expansion and atrocities - it was a war on terror.
Sikhism
Respect for enemy women
Taking women as ‘war booty’
Keeping of women as slaves
Sexual relations (i.e rape)
with captured women (slaves)
belonging to the enemy
The Indian Partition: In the December 1949
legislative debates in the Constituent Assembly, it
was stated that an estimated 33,000 Hindu / Sikh
women had been abducted by Muslims.
Fascination with sex
Islam
Treatment of Women In War
Prophet Muhammad promises women to his warriors:
"You see, God will soon make you inherit their land, their
treasures and make you sleep with their women“.
- Ibn Hisham on page 182 Vol. II, of his famous book, "Al Rod Al Anf", which all
the researchers regard as a reliable reference.
Even in times of severe trial and suffering, Sikhs were guided in their treatment
of women prisoners of war by the highest standards of chivalry. In 1763, for
instance, one of Ahmad Shah Durrani’s generals, Jahan Khan, was defeated by
the Sikhs at Sialkot and a number of his female relations and dependants fell into
their hands. Ali ud-Din writes in his Ibratnamah;
"as the Sikhs of old would not lay their hands on women, they had them
escorted safely to Jammu."
Another Muslim chronicler, Ghulam Muhaiy ud-Din, reviles against the Sikhs in his
Fatuhat Namah-i-Samadi, but notices the esteem they had for women. He writes;
"[The Sikhs] look upon all women in the light of mothers."
“That which your right hand possesses”:
Capture & Rape of Girls Religiously Ordained!
Surat Al-Nisa 4:3 permits the Muslim to have
sex with his slave girls, which the Koran calls
"that your right hand possesses”.
"We have made lawful to you your wives, to whom you
have paid their Mahr (bridal-money given by the
husband to his wife at the time of marriage), and those
(slaves) whom your right hand possesses."
Interpretation as given in al-Ahzaab 33:50
“The phrase ‘your right hand possesses’ [al-Ahzaab
33:50] means, it is permissible for you take concubines
from among those whom you seized as war booty”.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer, 3/500
Islam permits slave girls to be kept as concubines.
See video (" Rape in Islam" - War Booty)
According to Islamic texts,
Prophet Mohammed himself
transacted in slaves and had sex
with them when he desired.
Sources: Abu Dawud Book 32,
Number 4094; Tirmidhi 864; Sirat
Rasulallah pp.464-466, etc.
Capture and rape of women:
“Satan now reads the marriage rites…..”
Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji condemned
the rape and brutalities committed
against women by Mughal invader
Babur (speaking to a devotee called
'Lalo'):
“Modesty and righteousness both
have vanished and falsehood moves
about as the leader, O Lalo.
The function of the Qazis and the
Brahmins is over and Satan now
reads the marriage rites (rape).
The Muslim women read the Koran
in suffering and call upon God, O
Lalo.”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, 722.
Depiction of Moghul Invader: Babur
War Booty
Is Allowed In Islam!
“And He caused you to inherit their lands, and their houses, and
their riches, and a land which you had not trodden (before)”.
Al-Ahzab 33:27
“So enjoy what ye took
in war (booty), lawful and
good…”
(Allah encouraging Muslims to accept booty spoils of
war “Maal-E-Ganimat”)
al-Anfaal 8:69
What is ‘War Booty’?
Wealth in the form of money,
property, women and other
useful things taken in war.
Isn’t stealing un-Islamic?
Yes, and No!
Stealing applies in the case of
property which is protected
and is sacrosanct, but the
property of the kuffaar (nonbeliever) is not protected or
sacrosanct.
Sikh Teaching: ‘Dharam di Kirat Karni’ - To work & earn by the sweat of the brow (ie honestly)
War Booty: The
Story of Rayhanah
Rayhanah was a 15-yr old girl from the
Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayzah that was
attacked by Mohammed's forces.
After a siege, the Jews surrendered. The
men were separated from the females &
children. Up to 9001 adult males were later
killed in cold blood in a marketplace in
Medina.
The females were taken captive and some
were brought to Prophet Mohammed to
pick, and he chose Rayhanah2.
She never converted or married him
and lived as a concubine3 with the man
who caused the death of her family
members, and then slept with her.
1 Ibn Hajar (Fath al Bari, 7/14); 2 Ibn Ishaq
3 Ishaq:465
War Booty: The
Story of Safiyah
In 631 A.D., when Mohammed was 60 years
old, he “married” Safiyyah Bint Huyayy, who
was only 17 years old. She was the
captured widow of the treasurer Kinanah of
Banu Nadir tribe and daughter of the tribe’s
chief. In other words, she was war booty.
She was taken prisoner after the slaughter in
Khybar (near Medina). In that battle, she lost
her father, her recently married husband and
all of her other close relatives. This captured
Jewish woman was given to a Muslim soldier
called Dahia.
However, when Mohammad saw her
exquisite beauty, he immediately bought her
from Dahia and slept with her on the same
night her male relations were killed*. He
subsequently convinced her to convert to
Islam and then took her as his 8th wife.
* Ibn Sa'd
Depiction: the Banu Nadir tribe surrender to Mohammed’s forces
What happened after the tribe surrendered?
“The prophet of Islam tortured the community’s
treasurer to extract information, then had him
killed”. 1
Mohammed then took the man’s widow, Safiyyah, as
his wife after trading her with two other captured
women to one of his lieutenants”. 2
1 ibn Ishaq 764; 2 Ibn Ishaq 758
“So enjoy what ye took in war
(booty), lawful and good; but fear
God…”
(Allah encouraging Muslims to accept booty spoils of
war “Maal-E-Ganimat”)
al-Anfaal 8:69
Setting an Ugly Precedent for
Future Conflicts
What happened to the Banu Qurayzah Jews?
The respected Maulana A. Yousuf Ali writes in his Tafsir for
Sura Ahzab:
“The men of the Qurayza were slain; the women
were sold as captives of war (booty); and their
lands and properties were distributed or divided
among the Muhajirs*”.
* People who have performed the hajj
While war rape is not isolated to Muslims alone, it is
common in conflicts that involve them. Some recent
instances of rape & plunder are listed below.
Sikhism’s Guidance to Muslims:
“…when he is merciful to all beings,
only then shall he be called a Muslim.”
SGGS pg 141
• 1947 - widespread rape of Hindu & Sikh women by Muslim hordes during the partition.
• 1971 - mass rape of Bangladeshi women by Pakistani soldiers;
• 1990 - 5000 Kuwaiti women raped by invading Iraqi soldiers;
• 1998 - rape of Algerian women by Islamists in civil war.
• 2009 – widespread allegations of rape of imprisoned women protestors in Iran.
Concubines In
Islam
Islam allows four wives at the same time and
any number of concubines (mistresses).
“Concubinage may be defined as the more or less
permanent cohabitation (outside the marriage
bond) of a man with a woman or women, whose
position would be that of secondary wives, women
bought, acquired by gift, captured in war, or
domestic slaves”.
Encyclopaedia of Islam
Prophet Mohammed had a concubine, Mariyah,
who was a gift to him from Egypt. Mohammed "had
intercourse with her [Mariyah] by virtue of her
being his property." al-Tabari vol.39 p.194
Emperor Jehangir of India had one wife (Nur
Jehan) and 6000 concubines! Emperor Akbar had
5000!
Middle Eastern Harem
A Sikh can have only one wife. Concubines are not religiously permissible in Sikhism (slavery
and taking of war booty is forbidden). Sikhs are enjoined to be loyal to one spouse.
The Sikh catalogue of vices includes, among other things, lust, stealing, tyranny, injustice and
coveting the wealth of others.
Child Marriages:
The Story of Aisha
Aisha was the young daughter of prophet
Muhammed’s close friend and ally, Abu Bakr (who
later succeeded Mohammed).
When Mohammad expressed his desire to have
Abu Bakr’s young daughter as his wife, Abu Bakr
had concerns as she was but a child. However,
Muhammad replied, ’Allah had said it should be so!’
Abu Bakr then conceded and let Mohammed have
her. Mohammed was in his 50s then.
The prophet married her when she was 6
years old and he consummated his marriage
when she was only 9 years old.
“One of the World's best-kept Secrets”
"A Sikh casting his
eyes upon the
beautiful womenfolk of
families other than his
own regards them as
his mothers, sisters
and daughters.“
Bhai Gurdas Ji
Child Brides, Stolen Lives
Progressive societies have
recognised that forcing young girls
into marriage and a life of hardship is
wrong – and have gradually moved
away from this ugly practice.
However, it remains rampant in
Islamic countries – due perhaps to the
stamp of approval given by the
prophet of Islam, and now supported
by Islamic clerics and judges.
“Your eyes water,
and your intellect
and strength have
left you; but still,
your sexual desire
churns and drives
you on!”
SGGS pg 93-11
Girls are usually pre-teens and the
men are often old enough to be their
grandfathers. These girls are
impregnated at an age when their
reproductive organs are not fully
developed and experience very
painful deliveries. They become ‘baby
factories’ who have no say in their
future; and the authorities turn a blind
eye.
Others experience infertility and a
painful condition known as ‘ fistula’.

In Stark Contrast……
Sikh teachings include:
• Respect and tolerance for other faiths;
• Recognition of the equality of mankind (no discrimination);
• No acts of aggression (except self-defense & defense of others). The
Sikh religion is essentially benign. Only when all means have been
exhausted and negotiations have failed can the sword be yielded in
defense of a legitimate and worthy cause;
• Concept of ‘Sant - Sipahi’ or ‘Warrior-Saint’: spirituality and the ability &
willingness to fight for a worthy cause and for the protection of
righteousness and the weak (regardless of religion, creed, etc).
• In times of war: no looting, plunder, molestation/rape, murder, slavery,
execution or torture of prisoners, desecration of religious places, taking
of war booty, unnecessary destruction of property, etc.
• Respect for women and gender equality;
• Respect females as daughters, sisters or mothers;
• Control of base emotions, e.g. anger, lust, pride, etc.
A wayward Sikh will never find justification for his actions in the Sikh scriptures.
Sikhs Rescue
Hindu Women
From Muslims
The Sant-Sipahi Tradition
Historically, Sikhs have displayed the
highest standards of chivalry. The
Panipat episode is an example:
“Abdali crushed the Marathas as an all-India power
in the historic battle of Panipat, fought on January
14, 1761, but when the victorious invader was
returning to Afghanistan, the Sikh chiefs assembled
at the Golden Temple and resolved to take all
possible measures to rescue the Hindu and Maratha
young women being carried away as war booty by
the Afghans.
In pursuance of this resolution, the Sikhs made a
determined attack at the rear of the Abdali’s forces at
the Goindwal ferry of River Beas, and rescued over
two thousand young women from the clutches of
the Abdali and made arrangements to return
them to their original homes”.
James Browne,
History of the Origin and Progress of the Sikhs, London,
1778, p. II, 22.
Praise From An Enemy
Is Praise Indeed!
“Khalsa Akal Purkh ki Fauj”
Qazi Noor Mohammed, a Muslim bigot,
writes in his book, the JangNama:
‘Khalsa, the Army of God”
- Guru Gobind Singh ji
"They (Sikhs/Khalsa) never kill a
coward, nor pursue a fugitive. They
do not deprive a woman, whether
she comes of a well-to-do family or
a poor one, of her ornaments and
other possessions. There is not a
trace of rape or debauchery among
them, nor do they ever steal.
Whether she is young or old, they
always call a woman a Buriya
(respectable term: Buriya means an
old woman in Indian dialects) and if
ever they come across a woman on
the way, they would simply ask her
to get aside. There is no thief among
them; a housebreaker is never born
in them”.
Difficulty in Convicting Rapists In Islam
The Islamic Sharia Law dictates that a
woman who has been raped must
produce the testimony of four reliable*
witnesses before action can be taken.
*Four “Reliable” witnesses = four adult male
witnesses
Since rape is a crime that is often committed
behind closed doors, getting four male
witnesses is very difficult (if not near
impossible) in most cases.
If a raped woman makes a report without four reliable witnesses,
she would have inadvertently admitted to illicit sexual relations
and punished accordingly! She becomes a victim twice!
Raped Punjabi-Muslim woman in Pakistan goes public after rapists set free.
Saudi Arabia Punished Survivor of Gang
Rape with 200 Lashes and Prison Term!
2007: What can be called a travesty of
judiciary, the Saudi Arabia’s Higher Judicial
Council has actually sentenced a rape victim
to receive 200 lashes and prison while the
perpetrators of the crime were allowed to walk
free.
The 19-year-old Shiite woman who was raped
by six armed men was originally sentenced to
receive 90 lashes for traveling in the car of an
‘unrelated male’ at the time of the rape.
However after the woman had the temerity of
not unquestioningly submitting herself to be
tortured as punishment of being raped, the
judges on Saudi Arabia’s Higher Judicial
Council more than doubled her punishment for
attempting to influence the judiciary through
the media.
See video (this case)
2009: In another case, a Saudi
pregnant gang-rape victim received
100 lashes for adultery.
13-yr old rape victim stoned!
The Sharia Law makes it easy for
rapists to get away with their
crimes – while their victims suffer.
Women’s Honour Not Safe Even In an Islamic Republic:
Iranians wed, then rape virgin girls in prison before executing them…
The Rape of Taraneh: Prison Abuse
of Iran's Protesters. Read Story
"...there is a theological belief that if a
woman dies a virgin she will go to heaven,
the virgin is forced to "marry" before her
execution and thus to insure she will go to
hell.“
From a 2002 book review
In the Islamic Republic it is illegal
to execute a young woman,
regardless of her crime, if she is a
virgin. Therefore a “wedding”
ceremony is conducted the night
before the execution: The young
girl is forced to have sexual
intercourse with a prison guard –
essentially raped by her so-called
“husband.” One such person
states…
“I remember hearing them cry and
scream after [the rape] was over,” he
said. “I will never forget how this one
girl clawed at her own face and neck
with her finger nails afterwards. She
had deep scratches all over her.”

Note: there are other verses that give women certain rights over men, but women’s inferior position is clear in Islam.
Be Vigilent!
“The task is getting easier by
the day as the Sikh and
Hindu girls are not taught
much about their religion at
all. They have a more
Westernized upbringing. "

Urging Muslim men to seduce girls into the faith.
It is important for parents of Sikh children
to expose them to Sikh history, religion
and culture from an early age.
Teach them about Sikhi (illustrated books
are widely available), take them regularly
to the Gurdwara and involve them in
Gurmat camps.
Gurmat camps are organized in various
countries and cities – where Sikh children
mingle with their peers, have lots of fun,
and learn about their religion at the same
time.
Failure to act now will only increase our
children’s risk of falling prey to
unscrupulous predatory forces. Those
who are determined to act against you and
your loved ones do not slacken – neither
should you.

If someone talks to you about the “rights of women in Islam”, remember what
you have read here. And remember the Islamic ‘Taqiyya’ doctrine of deception!
“…do not cover your face
with a veil. In the end, this
shall not bring you even
half a shell…”
SGGS pg 484
Once you are in, there’s no getting out!
The Prophet of Islam said, “If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.”
