tonyhp32 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Avoid Lou Fennech. I read the book on Sikh martyrdom by him. It was basically an attack on SIkhi in the guise of academia. Yeah but isn't he one of the students of Mcleod or is he a student of a student of Mcleod? But I thought McLeod was good geezer according to some on this forum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 He was a McLeodian chumcha. McLeod supervised his dissertation (i.e. the book). Some people here seem to be admirers of McLeod. I'll leave them to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do not turn this into a private chat thread. Look whose talking. The man who turns every thread he jumps into, to a Kala Afghana one. No problem Singh2. I will do what you have asked. Would be nice for you take your own advice in future. Lets leave it at that. I found some of Fenech's work online BTW. I'm going to PM it to you as I don't want to promote him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
