The offencive part as I understand, and agree with, is that the sacred holy symbols and Gurdwara is used in a blasphemous manner. Religion is a personal and sacred belief and should be respected, wheather one is a Sikh, Christian, or even a Non believer. Peaceful protests for several days did not achieve the very modest demands, which were to remove the Holy symbols and Gurdwara from the play. The Christian Church supported these demands and we should be greatful for that. If we do not take a stand on issues like this, then the next play would go further and who knows where it would end. Democracy and freedom of speech does not mean that Gurpreet should be silenced or that Religion can be rediculed. A happy compromise should be found that does not offend ANY Religion and also enable writers like Gurdeep to express their talents.
