The fact that this is still being brought to Canada is pathetic. So much for the peaceful Sikhs. Thank God they aren't bombing each other yet.
If they move to Canada they should leave all of the Indian cultural baggage back in India.

I am only referring to:
- forced arranged marriages
- wife killings
- daughter killings
- bombing airliners
- threatening non-radical Sikhs that do not care about Kahlistan
- cheating the system
- being racist
- creating Sikh ghettos
- covering up crimes that Sikhs are involved in
- carrying a dagger
- not wearing helmuts or hard hats because of turbans, or other such ridiculous crap
- terrible hygene

Those are the main cultural traits that we do not want in Canada, we do not care if Sikhs run around in pajamas in the snow, or any other silly things they do.

Also, other cultures do those things to. There are alot more incidents of wife killings with people of European ancestry.

I agree that all races have people that kill, most are mentally ill.
The Indian culture seems to somehow "Honor" the killing as preventing the family from being shamed.
That is the difference and we can only hope it disappears over time. It is very shocking that it does actually still take place.

It seems like the ego of Sikhs or Indians is very easily bruised and they choose violence to redeem themselves. That does not work in Canada and I think all immigrants should be taught courses in the laws of the country that accepts them, before they are allowed to enter.

Truth Hurts is right. I agree that Canadians of European ancestry also have wife killings. But the Sikh community in BC import a backward, authoritarian culture analogous to that of the Sicilian Mafia in the USA. If these people don't want their children to become properly Canadian, they need to swim home.

The "Indian culture" as such does not have honor killings. Sikhs seem to have picked this concept up from the Muslims. Redneck whites and hillbillies have also practiced honor killings and feuds. For example redneck fathers in the US South have sometimes shot a daughter for bearing a black man's baby, or getting pregnant out of wedlock.

The whole trouble with the Sikh element in BC is that have an uneducated, rednecky character, much like many Sicilians in New Jersey. Social class culture is more at fault here than ethnicity.

Fk you Vivek,

You are a Hindu piece of Shit. That too from the Caribbean, descendant of some inbred laborer. Go fk yourself you ugly Gujju.

Who made you the expert of Sicilian Culture in Jersy? Who gave you the right to judge rednecks? Who made you the expert of Sikhs in BC. Yes, Sikhs here are fked up. As it is, we have our work cut out for us, flushing down these shit brown people, without you sticking your head up our toilet saying "and by the way". Fk OFF ! VANCOUVER HATES YOU Vivek Golikeri!

Now to the Dikhead in Brampton. Even hell wont take advice from a guy from Brampton. The very definition of Canadian Brown Ghetto.

Finally to the Small dick in Bangalore. Look here you Sikh Shit, If Punjub is so great, why did you leave? Why are you in the South, licking Hindu ass?

Interesting,
I can not understand why they are violent toward the more liberal Sikhs. The liberal Sikhs seem to have embraced Canada in a much more positive way and left most negative culture behind. Then along come the Khalistan radicals, and threaten the good Sikhs.
The radical Sikhs do not even want to be Canadian, they worry more about Khalistan than being Canadian.

Truth Hurts, there is no use trying to distinguish the liberals and the terrorists. Treat em all like inferior maggot terrorists, if they were any good, you'd see it in the way the react.

If they sorta expect it, then it is one of em pathetic shame ridden brown fkas. This guy is okay, but he ain't much use as a friend unless he grows a pair of balls. Which if he did, we wouldn't have category 2.

The Sht fuk terrorists. Just cos they speak English, don't make them Type 1. These guys are everywhere. And they are the ones who will attempt swearing back at you. They always walk, eat, fuk, shit, do everything in packs. Like Type 1, they too are ashamed of their skin, but they hide this inferiority complex with rudeness, fake machismo, and herd behavior. Individuality and courage are 2 things that has totally escaped these brown fkas. Why would a brave man need a knife? They wear a turban, still, don't they trust their God enough to protect them?

In the end, they are all just redundant clones with no balls. A handful, I admit, are less trouble than the rest.

It would help alot if you Canadians just tell everyone to convert to Christanity. Christian terrorism against Sikhs who aren't proud to be Sikh but rather be Canadian or whatever.

Didn't the British make Sikhism into a official religion and used them to spread their Christanity. The radical Sikhs are sponsored by Canadian goverment like they do with Pakistan.

a few criminals are seen in all communities
that shud not take away from the law abiding and GOD fearing nature of sikhs
there is negative points in all cultures and that may not be related to the religion
the radeical sikhs are miniscule but make more headlines and therefore are more in the mind
look around u there are more sikhs who are doing GOD's and their country's duties silently as i see them in india and must be true round the world ADD MORE STRENGHTH TO THEIR PRESENCE rather than whine about trouble makers
capitals only for emphasis
