I was wondering about how good or bad is the status of women in Sikhism is as compared to Islam.
hps62 said:Now this is a touchy topic.
truth would infuriate my muslims brothers whom I regard as a member of our human family.
But I guess I must give my impression.
On the surface of it
Sikh womans are like any other female species of any other religion (a way of life ).
muslim womans seem more to be like a incubator .
To be kept illiteriate so as the only job she knows is to have children so as one day the dream of a {censored} free world world can be fullfilled.
I do not know about you all guys but I am going to float around as a SIkh

Yeah my Mother is pretty Hard Kaur! (sic) So I know its done in practice and she brings up her daughter and my wife in the same way. Though my dad is well respected she will make her view point known without fear of any come back.
And me and my side have been on the off chance to the Gudwara if we are passing by with her jeans on. And yes my mother does dissaprove - not the Giani! So that is true as well.

max314 said:I don't know about comparisons, but here is what Guru Nanak Dev Ji said of women. Let's remember that this is a time when women were considered little more than property to be owned. They were considered a subordinate entity, worthy after the death of their husband only to be burned on their partner's funeral pire (an act referred to as sati). Guru Nanak was appalled by this societal behaviour, and rightly spoke out against it. In many respects, Guru Nanak Dev Ji was the first women's rights campaigner in the sub-continent (and perhaps even the world), which is kinda neat. He was very close to his sister, who believed in his uniqueness and specialness when his own father did not. Many consider her to be Guru Nanak's first true disciple (i.e. the first sikkh).
"Of woman are we born, of woman conceived, to woman engaged, to woman married.Woman we befriend, by woman is the civilisation continued.
When woman dies, woman is sought for.
It is by woman that order is maintained.
Then why call her evil from whom great men are born?
From woman is woman born, and without woman none would exist.
The eternal Lord is the only one - O Nanak - who depends not on woman."
Guru Granth Sahib
Asa, p.473
So, from a piece of property, Guru Nanak says that women are actually the very glue of society and - as such - deserving infinitely more respect than what they were granted at the time.
i am a former sikh
the same boat and its sinking.
The fact that jesus the SUN OF GOD is actually a representation of the SUN, the zodiac symbol with the SUN (SON) ON THE CROSS, the fact is that people MUST RESEARCH INTO THESE RELIGIONS, IT IS IMPERITIVE.
You are talking about the viewpoint of people who follow religions. If you belive in GOD in real sense than you cant escape Sikhism whether you accept it or not.JawDroppingPhilosopher said:On what base does scientific research support the fact that the moon will outlive the sun? HOW CAN YOU MEASURE THAT?
IT IS A PREDICTION!
when the sun dies out so do we
I am actually referring to Jesus being a symbol of the Sun, dont you understand? Your religion is just a repretition of hinduism and islam, what is the point in that when these earlier religions evolved from Babylonian religions?
Your own book tells you not to follow a caste system but you still do.
And to Kds1980, claiming that sikhism supports my view that God is not significantly more present in one house than in any other part of the world may be true in THEORY.... BUT IN PRACTICE YOUR RELIGION FAILS!!
There is a more sacred place were "God lives!" its called the Harmandir Sahib, Just like Islams Mecca.
And what exactly do you understand of my image of God compared to your vision of a man who wants the human race to be divided, defeated and plagued by war!
And science cannot seem to prove anything today! Infact if you love science so much then wasnt it science that created the biggest wave of atheists on this planet?
HOW MANY TIMES HAS SCIENCE BEEN WRONG ANYWAY? You need to step back and question your own belief.
And ill tell you what i am now, im far from sikh, ill never be sikh or muslim again, you can resort to your perpetual violent and murderous nature hidden by this complete facade of peace ill never be Sikh
" I AM THAT I AM "

Good to see you still here
NO IT IS NOT PREDICTION
Predictions are made in Semitic Religions and there books .
THESE ARE THE FACTS !!
THESE ARE THE FACTS !!
Basis :
Sun is composed of heliwm and hydrogen and constant nuclear reaction ios going on there is using its own matter as fuel and one day it will Finish all the fuel !
It has been percisely calculated that SUN has Completed half of its Life so Kind of mid life crisis
About moon It is not burning Mass so question of Perishing Funny Isnt it
Science has always been boon to man kind and it has helped creating
ATHEIST which is much better than BLIND RELIGIOUS FoLLWERS just liek you
This is your personal view and not a Sikh View ( May be you are attending wrong Classes ?! )
