    If this was an actual state of emergency it would have triggered governmental protocols in fact and the world leaders would be in underground boxes eating rations breathing air that just got pumped through charcoal. Parties. These *************. Lol.

    The ones who won't accept the victim coming to them as a family those the families who are victimized. The ones that deal in secrecy and appearances.

    The ones that deal in unquestionable retribution? And unquestionable acceptance of their own? Untouchable. We are untouchable. 
    And I jusy scrolled up to see @Premi and Sukhi Kaur beat me to it.

    Maybe. But it's foolish to ignore long standing, historic conflict between the two communities. I remember one religious muslim guy I went uni with telling me that islam has had two historical military humiliations - one when mongols attacked and sacked Baghdad in 1258, and the other was against our Khalsa ancestors. This has a legacy.
    If they really believe their way is the only way, the way our ancestors put that in check in Panjab would make us like devils in their eyes. Plus the way our lot have retaliated fiercely with like, when severely provoked. 
    Plus I bet you the women would never talk about muslim atrocities.

    My aunt told my Mum a few years back that she knew a (not sure) Kashmiri/Pakistani lady who didn't like Sikhs  because of Indian soldiers raping women in Kashmir, Some of the soldiers Sikhs
    Maybe that is another reason

    They do, but I think some of the pak ones have a particular hatred/contempt for Sikhs for historical reasons.

    Most likely, there is no conflict between Gurbanis, but if there is, then Sri Aad Gurbani will take precedence.

    I really struggle with that bro. I appreciate it. 
    With Aikido for example either people really aren't worthy of getting the full teachings. But I could see charging them. Or they are, but then how can I charge them? And a lot of people who deserve it the most, can afford it the least. That's why I was hoping to train with Sikhs bro. So I just don't have to worry about that. 
    I can't remember where in Gurbani it was but it was saying how we're all prostituting Dharam, prostituing God and that really got me. Like how can I charge for a priceless treasure I don't own? That is here for Righteousness sake?
    But as I've meditated on it I realize too there is a sterilized public face of Aikido. That is more karmically safe to teach whoevers. I mean that's not really the full throttle way I like to train.
    But I think by maybe having feeder programs, and a public professional side to it, with a more dedicated core is a way to go. And in fact the more I compare it to the origins of Aikido I think I'm reinventing the wheel in that regard. 
    So I'd like really to have one foot in the professional Aikido world with feeder programs into the deeper Doka program and also have a similar program offered in Gurudwaras for verified Sikhs that wouldn't cost. Once people reached Doka status a lot of things wouldn't cost them either in my Japanese side of things. 
    And I'd like to have Aikido clubs at various places that could get a lot of attention digitally and also within the Sangat same case. Have a mass media training platform for each group and perhaps a way to bring the feeds together. 
    But it wouldn't take long to have students in a variety of locations training at their level with visits and digital help. 
    If I were to do Parchar it would be to everyone but especially melanin bearing communities, their cultural organizations, even the peripheries of their gangs, and I'd recruit before the gangs could, and I'd make a Jatha from that demographic primarily. Select verified pale skins included. And it would be a humble Paanthic Jatha not an appropriated bs organization. And until we were worthy we'd have Shastar instead of Saroop. I mean that is if there were any trouble just plugging them into the existing Gurudwara and Bunga. But I'd like to get Bungas of Sikhs who like Aikido and farming and Bungas of Aikidoka who like Sikhs and farming and put them close together. 
    I have a lot of bar, restaurant, nightclub and security experience. I've been playing with the idea of throwing events for cash and also using those as a recruiting ground. 
    I've already identified a number of Native and Black groups, activists, and community leaders worth associating with as well as which Sikh groups would make the best friends. 
    Seems like I'm always beseiged by life, family, work and work and work though. I try not to pray for anything but Naam, acceptance of Hukam and the health to endure but I could really use the hand of Sat Guru in my family and economic life, and I'd really like to be interfacing with this world in a way deeper than laboring alone, and study a few things. At least Bhagti claims that time. 
    These covid changes may force my hand though to do something different. I'm not getting taxed 3600 dollars a year on an already stretched thin income to pay for weekly covid tests because Byethen had osha circumnavigate all our representatives. 
    it's wildly innapropriate. Treasonous. A terrifying precedent.

    Neither one existed as is at that time, and in fact at that time their roles were flipped. 
    Bill of rights is the heaftier part for righteousness. 

    So...
    1. Mainly intact. Mildly under attack by athiests and legislation against the tax status of churches. Also we get arrested for filming in public, filming government buildings, filming the police and our protests get assaulted by the cops instead of protected. But I can run my mouth still is about as effective it is. 
    2. Mainly intact, but under constant threat of legislation and already legislated unconstitutionally. Still. Protected. 
    3. No longer pertinent 
    The rest of these have been set aside for black people the whole time and don't really apply to anyone else now either. 
    And if you look at most of the tension we have in this country it's due to a double, or no standard of these rights being applied.
    The rest of the constitution is being side stepped by politicians. Aka bidens osha mandate being an osha mandate instead of legislation. 
    Both the republican and democrat party are republican really. Both worthless. Both selling out this country. 
     I already had zero respect for republicans and but like a tiny smidge for democrats and seeing the way that they're acting in office this time I've lost that too. I'm only ever going to vote for Independent people, who I can actually stand behind, I don't care if they win, the rest this country can get exactly who they deserve by voting for this one party system.

    And I know I am notoriously bad at posting in random threads but if you want to know how to disarm beadbi attackers I can show you. 
    That's either if you want to take them down to the ground and disarm them, and hand them over, or you want to hand them off into the next life, I can show you how to make sure that your body language is congruent not only for the encounter, and for the person you're dealing with,  but for the camera. 
    Then we can look amazing on camera and avoid the particularly troublesome nature of the resolution of this event which was messing around in the middle and I don't judge anybody who is involved I'm just saying we'd have been better off disarming the dude and questioning them and doing no harm or letting his head roll right off his shoulders while he kept his little grip on the sword he picked up. 
    Shoot we have been better off if once he disappeared he just stayed disappeared but beating the guy in the back room and having to hand him over just like sucks for us.
    But I get it and I have a feeling they were asking him some questions.

    100 percent of the youth in our care should be accounted for at all times. And adults should always be paired. Nobody and a child should ever be alone. Cameras are cheap. 
    That doesn't have anything to do with any other faith. 
    That aspect seems to come to bear when it comes to grooming gangs, which is a whole nother thing to protect against, which is external. 
    As far as abuse in the home, only a non judgemental, supportive, prepared culture can thwart that.

    Thoughts ? Potentially dangerous ? I think they need to look at 'prevention' in the 'interfaith' issues rather than saying "mis-leading narratives about Sikh women and girls being disproportionately targeted by Muslim grooming gangs. "
    The second one seems to imply it's okay for these things to happen
    https://www.sikhwomensaid.org.uk/
     
    https://www.sikhwomensaid.org.uk/about-us/our-team
    Sukhi is passionate about raising awareness of child sexual exploitation and sexual abuse within the Sikh and wider BAME community. She has seen a sharp rise in faith based sexual abuse in places of worship & faith settings and has worked tirelessly to shine a spotlight on this issue.
    Sukhi is also a founding member of a Sikh/Muslim interfaith group “Same Difference” that is looking to tackle contentious issues between the two groups including mis-leading narratives about Sikh women and girls being disproportionately targeted by Muslim grooming gangs. The group has gone from strength to strength and hosts monthly gatherings to discuss community cohesion and all matters that can bring these two groups together.
    Sukhvinder also takes a keen interest in politics and has stood as a local councillor candidate in the Birmingham Elections in 2019.
    Regarding the formation of Sikh Women’s Aid, Sukhvinder said, “I am humbled and honoured to be a founding member and trustee of Sikh Women’s Aid. Faith is very important to me, and guides all that I do. Our rich history pays homage to the strength, valour and courage of Sikh Women, from Bebe Nanaki, the sister of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, to Mai Bhago, the formidable Warrior Woman who was as fierce as her male counterparts on the battlefield during the times of the Tenth Master Guru Gobind Singh Ji. I have witnessed for too long, the diminishing spirit of many Sikh women due to decades of oppressive practices that use culture and shame to suppress them. This type of toxic behaviour is not in line with the Sikh Faith nor should it ever been accepted as such.
    So, it is in that spirit that our team plants the seed of Sikh Women’s Aid.
    "Sikh Women’s Aid is the foundation of a powerful movement by Sikh women for the community. We will now proactively engage with communities and the wider Violence Against Women and Girl’s (VAWG) sector to become a voice for thousands of victims who have been forced to suffer in silence. The work and partnerships that Sikh Women’s Aid will engage in, aim to shatter the oppressive silence around every abusive and violent act that harms women, girls and vulnerable members of the community."     Mandeep Kaur Sungu, or “Minu” as she is affectionately known as by those close to her, is a British born Panjabi Sikh businesswoman who currently resides with her family in the heart of the West Midlands.   Minu spoke about the formation of Sikh Women’s Aid: “My most prized and cherished role in life is that of a mother to my four children, three of whom are daughters. I am passionate about women knowing that if things are bad, there is help available out there. I want our daughters to grow up knowing that our community is doing more listening to and less talking down to women about their needs.
    I want our daughters to feel safe and when things do not go to plan, they are able to seek support and justice without shame, fear, or prejudice. Sikh Women’s Aid will be a champion for women and I am honoured to have set this up alongside a group of professional, trained and competent women”.
