Great idea. Can you get a BrahmGiani ji involved ? is the Haap meant as additional to any personal Nitbem? thanks

And didn’t mean to come across rude/nasty, sorry

I agree most of your points make some sense I don't think anyone denies we have overlap with Hindus

These were not from translations You are not espousing the full truths either, smiley face or no smiley face.

I have heard multiple Katha where it is clarified that it is Ik Oankaar. What's your source for 'Ik Omkaar'? What's prompted this topic/thread? Thanks

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/25/us/kenneth-smith-nitrogen-gas-execution-alabama/index.html @GurjantGnostic - thoughts? Alabama plans to carry out the first execution by nitrogen gas today By Dakin Andone and Isabel Rosales, CNN Updated 1:34 PM EST, Thu January 25, 2024 Atmore, Alabama CNN — Alabama is poised to carry out the first known execution using nitrogen gas Thursday to put Kenneth Smith to death for his role in a 1988 murder for hire. Smith, who survived the state’s initial attempt to execute him by lethal injection in 2022, is tentatively set to die Thursday evening as the state endeavors to use a wholly new method of execution some experts are concerned could cause him to experience excessive pain or a torturous death. Little is known about how the method, known as nitrogen hypoxia, will be carried out because the state’s published protocol bears redactions experts say shield key details from public scrutiny. The state, in court records, indicated the redactions were made to maintain security and it believes death by nitrogen gas to be “perhaps the most humane method of execution ever devised .... Smith’s jury voted 11-1 for life sentence Smith was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of Elizabeth Sennett, whose husband, Charles, was having an affair and had taken out an insurance policy on his wife, according to court records. Charles Sennett recruited a man who recruited two others, including Smith, and agreed to pay each $1,000 to kill his wife and make it look like she died in a burglary, the records show. The men carried out the killing as planned in March 1988, and Smith took from the Sennett home a VCR player that he stored in his own home. Charles Sennett killed himself a week after the murder, records state, as the investigation’s focus turned to him. Smith was ultimately arrested after authorities, based on an anonymous tip, searched his home and found the VCR player. Smith was convicted and sentenced to die, but an appeals court overturned the initial outcome and ordered a new trial. He was again convicted in the retrial, but this time his jury voted 11-1 for a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. The judge in Smith’s second trial, however, essentially vetoed the jury’s vote and sentenced the defendant to death – a practice known as judicial override that’s since been repealed in Alabama. CNN’s Devan Cole, Chris Youd, Olivia LaBorde and Jamiel Lynch contributed to this report.

https://www.west-midlands.police.uk/news/two-men-jailed-after-fatal-collision-rowley-regis Two men jailed after fatal collision in Rowley Regis Two men have been jailed after killing an elderly woman in a collision in Rowley Regis. Surinder Kaur, aged 81, died after she was hit by a vehicle on Oldbury Road on 13 November, 2022. Arjun Dosanjh, aged 26, was driving a blue Mini and Jacek Wiatrowski, aged 51 was driving a black BMW. Arjun Dosanjh Jacek Wiatrowski The pair, who didn’t know each other, pulled up at traffic lights in their vehicles next to each other and decided to race. Both vehicles were travelling at high speeds, significantly exceeding the speed limit. CCTV footage showed Wiatrowski heavily braking as he spotted Mrs Kaur crossing the road. He narrowly missed her but caused Dosanjh to swerve on the wrong side of the road, avoiding the BMW but hitting Mrs Kaur. Both defendants pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving at an earlier hearing. At Wolverhampton Crown Court on 8 January, Wiatrowski of Pine Avenue, Wednesbury and Dosanjih of MacDonald Close, Oldbury, were each jailed for six years and banned from driving for eight years. In a victim statement read out to the court, Mrs Kaur's family said: "Our mum lived a very simple life. She was a deeply religious woman and on the day of the accident she was on her way home from the Guthwara. "The days and weeks after mum’s death were really tough; as well as trying to come to terms with our loss we had to deal with an ongoing police investigation. "My first thought every morning is of mum, my last thought every night is of mum. These thoughts are not happy memories, but the thought of the pain she must have experienced in those final moments of her life. "These thoughts haunt all of her family. "We are all trying to come to terms with the loss of our mum, we have all gone through so many different emotions but ultimately we are all just sad. "Sad that every milestone we celebrate as a family will be filled with sadness as our mum will not be there.” Detective Sergeant Chris Ridge, from our Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "Mrs Kaur was on her way back from her local Gurdwara - the journey she made every day and was killed during her daily routine. "She was devoted to her faith and family and my thoughts are with her loved ones who have been deeply affected by her death. "Wiatrowski and Dosanjh did not know each other and were driving competitively - this dangerous and foolish action has cost a life. "The sentence imposed will never fill the void left in Mrs Kaur's family and I extend my heartfelt condolences to them." Road safety is a priority for us and partners including Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), local authorities and the region’s Police and Crime Commissioner. We joined forces under the Operation Triton banner last year to pledge action to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured on our roads and this work continues. We are actively patrolling key areas to enforce speed limits and protect our communities from the dangers of excessive speed and other road harm issues. However, the police cannot be everywhere. We urge motorists to prioritise road safety as their actions can make a significant difference in preventing accidents and protecting lives. We also appreciate the support and cooperation of our communities in reporting any instances of dangerous driving. Their valuable information helps us take appropriate action and prevent potential harm.

Interesting, thanks for raising this. What made you research it?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-68014882 By Frances Mao, Caroline Davies and Paul Adams in Singapore, Islamabad and London Pakistan has launched missile strikes into Iran, killing nine people, after Iran carried out strikes in Pakistan late on Tuesday. Pakistan said its strikes had hit "terrorist hideouts" in Iran's south-eastern Sistan-Baluchestan province. Iran condemned the attack, which it said killed three women, two men and four children who were not Iranian. The country's foreign ministry later said it was committed to good neighbourly relations with Pakistan. However, it called on Islamabad to prevent the establishment of "bases and armed terrorist groups" on its soil. The reciprocal attacks come as tensions in the Middle East are high with several overlapping crises. ... Iran and Pakistan have complicated but cordial relations. Their ministers met at Davos this week and their navies conducted joint exercises in the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf. The two countries have similar concerns about the lawless border area, where drug smugglers and militant Baloch groups are very active. After both sets of air strikes, each side seemed anxious to emphasise that these did not represent attacks on a brotherly neighbour. Tehran's reaction to the Pakistani strike appears relatively muted and the authorities have said that the victims, who included women and children, were not Iranian nationals.

Bulls*** excuses and defence story.

Thanks for posting this. Longer video Think need more context here - this was in 2002 (do not read below if just want to watch video) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1986054.stm Reporter 'well treated' in Pakistan jail http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/1985000/images/_1988072_bassey300.jpg Amardeep Bassey says he is in good health A British reporter being held in a Pakistani jail amid allegations of spying has told his editor that he is being well treated. Amardeep Bassey, the investigations editor of the Birmingham-based Sunday Mercury, also used two notes sent by e-mail to tell colleagues he was in good health, it was revealed on Tuesday night. The messages were sent by a friend who had visited Mr Bassey in Landi Kotal prison near Peshawar in north-western Pakistan. Trinity Mirror group, which owns the Mercury, has rubbished the allegations against the reporter and pledged to do all it can to free the 29-year-old, who is from Wolverhampton. No exit stamp The Mercury's editor, David Brookes, said the messages represented the first direct contact with Bassey since he was arrested on Friday on suspicion of spying while crossing the border from Afghanistan. Bassey, who was named Regional Journalist of the Year in 2000, was held because his visa did not have an exit stamp. In the first note he said: "As you are probably aware I am in Landi Kotal jail. I am fine and being treated well. Do not worry, I am fine and sorry for this inconvenience." The second read: "Conditions are bearable because the people here in jail are good and looking after me. I am in good health. "Sorry about all this you must be getting sick of me (joking). I just dread being the centre of attention when I return. You know how I hate the press!" 'Ludicrous accusation' Mr Brookes added: "I'm appalled and shocked that Amardeep has been detained due to what appear to be minor passport discrepancies. "He is a professional journalist doing a job of work, and the accusations against him are quite simply ludicrous." A Trinity Mirror spokesman, who dismissed the spying allegations as nonsense, confirmed that Bassey had been travelling from Kabul to Pakistan when he was taken into custody. A Foreign Office spokesman said it had requested information about the reporter's detention from authorities in Peshawar and was providing assistance to his next-of-kin. 'Serious trouble' Mr Bassey's elder sister Rawinder Sekhon, 35, said: "When we first heard what had happened we couldn't quite believe it and, to be honest, didn't realise the seriousness of the matter. "But gradually, as more and more news came in, we started to realise that he may be in serious trouble." The National Union of Journalists called on the government to secure Mr Bassey's freedom, saying he could be in "serious danger". NUJ general secretary Jeremy Dear said: "Amardeep could be in serious danger. Other journalists have got into trouble and even been killed in that area."

This deserves its own thread . Wouldn't done this to a Muslim I'm sure. https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2024/01/10/court-hears-london-imam-shouted-sister-fcker-child-of-a-pimp-as-he-ran-over-and-killed-prone-man/ Court Hears London Imam Shouted ‘Sister F*cker, Child of a Pimp’ as he Ran Over and Killed Man Lying in Road 24 Getty Images / Facebook / Collage OLIVER JJ LANE 10 Jan 2024112 2:08 Imam Qari Abassi claims he believed Harvinder Singh was a discarded briefcase or dustbin lying in the road when he ran over his head as he drove to mosque in London, a court has heard. A man was killed and two men who were trying to protect him believed they had to jump out of the road “to save their lives” as a speeding motorist tried to drive to a London mosque to early lead morning prayers on the 4th of May 2021. Court News reports the Old Bailey, the Central Criminal Court of England and Wales, was shown dashcam footage of the moment Imam Qari Abassi ran over Harvinder Singh, who was lying unconscious in the middle of the street. Per the report, the court heard audio of Abassi shouting “Sister fucker, child of a pimp, your mother’s pussy of you sister fucker Gandoo, sister fucker” as the car drove over Singh. In Urdu, gandoo or gandu is a derogatory term for a man who receives anal sex. Two men had been trying to protect Singh directing traffic around him while they waited for the arrival of the emergency services. The Old Bailey heard allegations that Abassi, however, drove straight at them instead. He told the court he believed they were drunks or otherwise unfriendly. The men had told the court they had to jump aside “to save their lives” from the oncoming car. Singh was struck in the head and chest by the car as he lay in the road and died from his injuries. Abassi said his verbal outburst was at the two men who had jumped clear, not at the man lying in the road, who he believed was a “bin or briefcase or something”. He told the court through an Urdu interpreter that: “I was going on my way and these people are making gestures with their hands and I didn’t know. I was a bit angry about why they are doing this to me. I am just going on my way… When people ask you to stop and you don’t know those people, you don’t stop for that reason.” Per Court News, Abassi accepted he had been driving over the speed limit but did not ultimately accept that he had done anything wrong, and denies causing death by careless driving.

from same source IMMIGRATION JUDGE RASIB GHAFFAR ‘WAS PART OF A GANG WHO SWINDLED £2M IN LEGAL AID PAYMENTS’ 10JAN2024 A judge teamed up with a gang of crooked lawyers to fleece the taxpayer out of nearly £2m in false legal aid claims, a court heard. Rasib Ghaffar, 54, was part of a group of legal professionals who dishonestly claimed £1,856,584 in costs relating to a trial in 2011, it was said. He allegedly raked in more than £140,000 when he did not even act as an advocate in the case at Bournemouth Crown Court, which involved Indian restaurants employing…

Seven Post Office workers of South Asian heritage have told the BBC they believe racism affected the way people were treated in the Horizon scandal. One of the workers who spoke to BBC Newsnight said: "It felt like they thought that you were a foreigner and you'd robbed them." The Horizon scandal saw 700 sub-postmasters prosecuted from 1999 to 2015, with some going to prison. The Post Office says it aims to get to "the truth of what went wrong". A public inquiry began in February 2021, and will resume on Thursday after breaking for Christmas. While the scandal has been public knowledge for some time, an ITV drama - Mr Bates vs The Post Office - which aired last week, catapulted the issue back into the spotlight. The seven people spoken to by BBC Newsnight worked as sub-postmasters during the scandal and say they were accused of false accounting, theft, or fraud due to data from the faulty Horizon IT system. One man from an Indian background said a member of Post Office staff told him: "All the Indians are doing it. They have relatives so they take the money and send it to them abroad". Another person of South Asian descent said: "It was like we were dumb because English wasn't our first language, that we struggled to make sense of basic accounting". Another said of the Post Office staff he dealt with: "It felt like they thought that you were a foreigner and you'd robbed them". Balvinder Gill told Newsnight his life was destroyed after he was wrongly accused of stealing £108,000 from the Post Office in 2004. The 45-year-old had a mental breakdown afterwards and was sectioned three times. In a double blow for his family, in 2009, his mother Kashmir, now a postmistress, was found guilty of stealing £57,000 from the same Oxford branch. Her conviction was overturned by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) in 2021. Image caption, Balvinder Gill had a mental breakdown after being wrongly accused Mr Gill said: "My parents were spoken to as if they were idiots because they're not white. They were made to feel like they didn't understand the system and that they were stupid". He describes his parents' experience as "an indirect, oppressive kind of racism". He said the dynamic felt more skewed than in a standard relationship between an employer and employee. "It always felt more than that. I know from my parents' experience that whenever they try to explain something, because their English was broken, they were normally just shut down, and I'm certain that was because of their colour". Former sub-postmaster Vipin Patel, 72, was wrongly accused of fraud in 2011, and had his conviction quashed in 2020. He said he felt "spoken down to" by the Post Office helpline because of his race and accent. In response to these allegations, Post Office said: "We share fully the aims of the public inquiry to get to the truth of what went wrong in the past and establish accountability. "It's for the inquiry to reach its own independent conclusions after consideration of all the evidence on the issues that it is examining. "We are doing all we can to put right the wrongs of the past, including providing full and fair compensation for those affected, and offers of more than £138 million have been made to around 2,700 postmasters, the vast majority of which are agreed and paid." Warning: This story contains language which readers may find offensive. In 2022, the Post Office revealed that, of the postmasters it had records for who had been convicted, 316 had provided details on their ethnicity. At least 123 were of black, Asian and minority ethnic background. That's just under 39%. The exact number of postmasters from a minority background is not known. A recent survey by the Post Office suggested it was more than 43%, but this only drew from a small sample. One former Post Office employee told Newsnight that it was unfair to label his former employer as racist when many white people were falsely prosecuted too. Royal Mail data from 2012 shows there were 1,547 Indian sub-postmasters and agents in England and Wales, 401 were Pakistani, nine were Black African, and 3,220 were white British. Last year, the Post Office apologised after it was revealed it had used racist terms to describe wrongly investigated postmasters as part of the Horizon IT scandal. A document showed Post Office had used terms like "Chinese/Japanese types", "dark-skinned European types", and "Negroid types". The Post Office said the document was historic and that it "didn't tolerate any form of racism". It said: "The language and classifications used in the historical document is completely abhorrent and condemned by today's Post Office".
