I read your post with great interest and believe the mindset has taken its toll upon Sikhi, but apathy upon our own parts stops us from further investigating and finding the truth, we are much more inclined to be spoon fed what is said, we don't care enough to find out for ourselves if even at all

This is pretty much the same thread from a month ago, but anyways to answer your question the biggest threat to Sikhism is:

THE SIKHS THEMSELVES!!!

Nobody ever has a problem with Khalsa traditions, many times it our "own" that discourage the sangat for wearing cholas, stare at Sardars like they saw an alien, don't keep Sikhi Saroop, the ones that keep abuse and make Sikhs look bad, follow in bipran ki reet such as castes, jathas, groups, sects, cults, babas, pankhandis, etc. Wonder why Sikhism is so messed up.

A threat to Sikhi presumes that Sikhi could diminish or be destroyed. It can't and so that question is moot. We do however, face obstacles in life. We do but Sikhi doesn't. Sikhi was enshrined for the betterment of mankind over the course of 239 years, culminating in the installation of the eternal Guru. A particular volume of Guru Granth sahib Ji may erode over time or may be met by some ill fate, but the Guru still exists. With the advancement of technology and the invention of the internet The Guru's eternal legacy is now clear. At some point somebody could have tried to destroy every volume of the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, but now it will be nigh on impossible to attempt to physically destroy every e-dition of the Shabad Guru.

A more appropriate question might be, 'What is the biggest threat to Sikh institutions and practises?' This does not mean Gurdwaras although they are encompassed within the term institutions. The biggest threat today I would guess is impetuousness; a lack of long-sighted vision and dynamism; a rigid interpretation of The World and life. Think. Contemplate. Act.

:@ Good idea for discussion orono (perhaps the wrong place! :) )

explain "perceived attack".....

bollywoods attacking us....... - nope there just uneducated about sikhism and are trying to portray sikhs as they have understood them to be

patta patta singhaa da vairee - not today

planned attack on sikhism by such and such a scholar - nope such and such a scholar has never read the sggs so is just interpreting from what they seen and heard

xtian missionaries have hidden agenda - nope its their job to proselytize their very open about this its nothing personal

so and so forth.....

^^^exaclty!! people do things the way they see em. and if they dont understand something, they will disrespect it. and then people say "oh i didnt know that", well if you didnt know about what you were talking about, or making a movie about, or writing an huge essay about, why the hell you do it in the first place? "oh because i have a brain, and thats what i feel on the issue"

and then you get nowhere, because people do as they wish, according to how they feel, and if there feelings are wrong, there are times you have to let them know......

people know exactly what there doing.

we just gotta stop being scared to stand up in life.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
