​Yes I agree with you but as you can may know in islam there are branches like ismailism, alevism and druzism where they share with us or we share with them the same beliefs that divinity is within us so the way can be slightly different but we should become more friend with those who respect us as common human beings and not unbelievers like others may think.

Yes brothers I agree with you all, our love for God and Gurus is simple as universal love we should try indeed to spread to everybody has an open heart without fanaticism...

Brother Jaswant Singh,
We have to respect all beings, irrespective of their caste, color or creed. The photograph in your post above, is due to the friendship between them, due to the humanity between them.
That´s it.
Myself I have had muslim friends since childhood, due to neighbourhood, due to studies in school, due to work/business, and we never brought our religion in between, we all respected each others points of views.
I even remember, one day at noon after school, several of us boys(among us 2 were muslims) while coming back home, we decided that we would stop at each boys house and have a bit  of lunch. 
I fondly remember, that when we went to the first muslim boy´s house,  his mother knew, two of us were not muslims, it was obvious, she served us the food which was veg. And so it went, within everybody´s house. No mother complained of how or why, but all were happy to see us and there was no discrimination or a bad  face even.
I do have christian friends also. I do mix up with all as we are all human social beings. at one time or the other, we may have to interact with someone out of one´s community.
Of course, at all places we have good and bad wicked people. But believe it, the teachings of  any Gurmukh, Sant or Darvesh are not bad by themselves, it is the manipulative manmukhta in interpretaing them, which turn men into fanatics, into beasts, into demons.... and the worst thing is, all this crime is done in the name of religion, in the name of god.
Foolish them, my blood boils whenever I see these atrocities commited .
Coming back to the word religion, we must bear in mind, the word religion comes from the latin word religare, which literally means, that which unites us with the Origin.
Now what is that unites us with the Lord?
Is it our prayers?
Is it  by our rituals or fastings?
Is it doing good karmas as giving alms, or anything alike?
is it by bathing in the sacred waters?
Is it by going to pilgrimages?
is it by memorizing the holy scriptures?
You see, the Bani cleary says: Jin Har japeeya, se Har hoeeya.   Prabh ka Simran, sabh tay oochaa.
He who chants/meditate on His Naam, becomes one with Him, the Lord. Means, attaching ourselves, by meditating upon only  that one primal and eternal Truth, known with different words in different dharams/mazabs as : the Word, Kun, Tao, Naam, Shabad, Amrit Bani, Sachee Bani. Different words in different religions/languages, do not change the reality.
For example, we say water, panee, eau, jal, wada, apaa, in different languages, but that changing words, does not change the reality of water of its composition as H2O. Would it not be foolish to think otherwise?
 This is Sikhee in simple words. This is universal religion. Because, it unites our souls with our origin, Wahiguru Akal Purukh, without depending on any outer factors. 
Just He, we as souls, and the link: Naam.  As simple as this, this is Gurmat.
And not all the paraphernalia around us, created by us, which is manmukhta or manmat.
And it is to this Sikhee, which our Guru Sahibans have said: Jug chaare Naam outam, Shabad beechar. Means, throughout the four phases/ ages of existence of the creation, only the Naam, the Shabad is permanent, eternal, changeless and Supreme.
And this Naam is Nirankar, there is no way to catch it, to grab it, create it, encage it in lifeless things , however hard we may try,  be it may with any science/technolgy.
But yes, we can manifest it within us using a technique called Naam Simran, that is why the Bani says:
Har mandir ehu sareer hae, gyan ratan pargat hoe.
This human body, irrespective of any caste, class, gender or color, is the real temple, the real Gurdwara, real mosque, real church, where that Wahiguru Akal Purukh, Naam or Shabad can be ever found.
Nobody has ever found Him outside, neither will ever anyone. That is His law. And this law, has to be applied right when we are alive, beacuse otherwise we are chained by our karmas in the wheel of eighty four, and this Naam japna, is the only karnee which is not only above any subh karma, but it is also the only reality,  which dissolves all our karmas, all our bandhans, all our sanskaras, thus makes us free and pure, for our only purpose of coming in the human form, which is to merge our soul consciousness in Him, Wahiguru Akal Purukh.
Sat Sree Akal.

Sikhism is a natural path towards the highest Supreme Being, Wahiguru.
Other thing is how we interpret it, just as in the rest of other dharmas....
The teachings of our Guru Sahibans, of our Bhagats, Gurmukhs are faultless, it is the interpretation of the manmukh moorakhs, which has polluted their teachings and made them reduced to the lowest level of rituals, dogmas, fastings , bathings, pilgrimages and a big list of  all outer activities, when the divinity is within us, and the way is within us as per the bani, but we waste our lives in the Maya, due to our  impurity and poor intelectual level....
So apart from Gurbani/Gurmat, all else is Maya, is koor, is fanaah, give it any name .....past, present or future
Sat Sree Akal.
