[Premi]

Do they not get enough funding from abroad to pay for security ?

Only £3.5 million for other faiths?

MOSQUES and Muslim faith schools in the UK can bid for funding to increase security measures to help tackle hate crime, the government has said. 

These institutions have been given access to a £24.5 million fund to install CCTV cameras and perimeter fencing to ensure that adequate measures are in place to protect worshippers.

 

Besides, £3.5m is available for other faith communities through the government’s Places of Worship Fund.

 

The fund is to ensure that faith communities are protected from the threat of hate crime. It will be given to places of worship such as churches, mosques, gurdwaras, temples and associated faith community centres in order to improve physical security, a statement said.

This scheme runs along with the Jewish Community Protective Security grant, which provides protective security for the Jewish community and was recently renewed this year.

According to a statement, 45 per cent of religious hate crimes recorded by the police in England and Wales in 2020/2021 were targeted against Muslims.

Security secretary, Damian Hinds said: “It is a fundamental right to be able to practise your faith in your community. This new round of funding will cover the costs of security measures for places of worship to deter and prevent hate crime attacks on vulnerable communities, making our streets safer.

“I encourage any place of worship which feels vulnerable to hate crime to apply for funding through the Places of Worship fund.”

The government claimed that the recent increase in police recorded hate crime is mainly due to improvements in crime recording and better identification of what constitutes a hate crime.

However, the crime survey for England and Wales has revealed a long-term decline in overall hate crime.

A new scheme for Muslim faith schools to provide additional protection will be rolled out later in the year, the statement added.

“The additional support from this government to ensure security support through guarding services is warmly welcomed and much needed,” said Iman Atta, director of Tell MAMA, which supports victims of anti-Muslim hate and also measures and monitors anti-Muslim incidents

“Tell MAMA has regularly called for additional support to Islamic institutions and mosques and is in line with the national anti-Muslim hate crime monitoring and support services that Tell MAMA provides on an ongoing basis. Collectively, this support from the Government should be welcomed and applauded.”

This world is run by and for those who have money. To hell with the rest.

Sikhs need to understand this.... That the west isn't what we think it is. Their interests lie with those that have money. Instead of looking towards the west we need to start looking for allies in the East....... Could be China.The USA will always be allied with India and back it up to counter check China. Same with UK and those other western countries. Sikhs dont understand this and think these countries will help them with a free homeland lol. Just look what Boris Johnson said on his trip to India. Will they say this while going to the Middle east? No they need that oil and resources. Sikhs offer nothing.Our people have no understanding of the world and think these western countries are shining lights of human rights and righteousness lol. We need to think politically and understand which countries in the future could Sikhs have some alliances with over mutual interests....

Those of us who have half a brain and have grown up in the west know the truth.

The truth is that only those who are inimical to India and would want to cause it trouble by breaking it up would ever want to do this. And even then, they would just be using us as proxies, they wouldn't actually be allies.

On twitter someone was discussing how an India with a very powerful defense is very important to the USA to counter China. And that China long ago talked about plans of disintegrating India. Like I said people need to be smart and see through what is happening. Why USA considers India as a very important partner. Why USA is providing India with arm deals and defense tech. Is it to develop India? No they dont give a fck about India developing or its poor starving people. Their main aim is an India with a powerful defense. Why? It all points to China.

These western countries , their aim is not to help countries like India develop but to use them for their own purpose. Why did USA help japan and korea. What is the relationship between japan and china? Good or bad. Like I said Sikhs need to be smart and understand these western countries dont give a fck about us. You can have alliances over common goals. Just like USA is using India. USA will not let India break apart as it needs it to exist in that region to counter China. Why is UK making all these deals with India?

Sikhs think these western countries will provide them justice lol like they gave Israel to Jews. This is our level of thinking. Do we think that they got Israel due to human right issues lol. The day Sikhs realise that none of these so called countries are for human rights but they run according to money only then we can somehow think of what to do next. Khalistan is literally not possible as of now. The USA does not want India to break. Who wants India to break? We need to think instead of wasting our money resources and time going to these western organizations like UN. These people are probably laughing at us.

Don't forget Russia too now. It looks like Russia may be doing a lot of business with India in future now that large sections of the west have tried to isolate it. It might not be in Russian interests to see India crack up either.

Sister, I know personally people have been talking about this for at least 20 years. Our rural pendu lot are like children mentally, once they get even a little attention from the west they go all mental, and forget the thousand times they've been kicked to the curb.  They don't have any brains for strategic/tactical thinking in a modern context.

It's that stupidity again. I went to marches and stuff about 84 when I was younger.   Then learnt decades later that the government here actually help plan the attack! We thought the UN would help and people wasted years there. The only people who would probably 'help' (for want of a better word) is pakistan and that only because they hate india.  And I don't even think modern day k'stanis are serious about it, it's more like a slogan to piss the indian government off with than anything serious. 

But they should realise that if they ever made a serious attempt for it, India would be supported by yanks, uk, russia (probably) and israel. Just the modern equipment they would get would make it suicidal for apnay probably. 

From my perspective, right now I think our best course of action is a ground level social movement to strengthen our identity and cohesion.
