Le Pen when asked about Sikhs and the turban said something along the lines of 'Sikhs are a minority who we don't hear much from; which is a good thing'. Too tired to find the exact quote.

So yano... better pack your bags coz I think this Paris shooting may just have sealed the deal for Le Pen.

If that's an accurate quote, I surmise what she may be saying is "if you're not making trouble for France, then I don't have a problem with you". Sikhs are just going about their business, not driving semi-trucks into crowds.

If she is elected, I think what our peeps in France would have to do or should do is make a separate peace with the French government, not lumping themselves in with the Muslims. You have to deal with the government you have, not the government you want.

Here it is:

In response to the question if a Sikh person be allowed to wear a turban, Le Pen, head of the National Front, states, “No, not in public.  We don’t have a lot of Sikh people in France.  We don’t really hear much from them, or about them, which is good news.”

Our people have been trying to work with their government for a very long time. Twice they've taken them to the UN courts and won both times. All to no avail. Only two people exist in France; The native white French and the foreigner.

OK, well the "not in public" changes the whole thing. In general, the feeling of the Left is that religion, if allowed at all, is something that is to be totally internal, and have no external manifestation whatsoever, not even to the extent of favoring one policy or another, certainly not to favoring one form of dress or another or one type of food or another. This feeling is deeply embedded in French thinking since its revolution, which is what Le Pen is defending, causing her to be mistakenly identified as a far-right candidate. In reality she is a strident nationalist leftist. People call her a conservative, but she is conserving the French revolution, which is leftist.

Yeah my bad. My paraphrasing did very little justice. It's late and I couldn't be bothered finding the quote. Muafi ji.

It was free movement from Algeria to France? Gosh, i never knew that. I assumed it was a similar immigration policy to the one the UK adopted for its former Eastern colonies. 

I'm not condoning current Algerian actions and attitudes, but from what I've read the French were despicably cruel when they were over there. It's quite horrific the extent to which they held power over those people and that country. All the more baffling as to why they'd be so magnanimous in allowing them access to France in such considerably huge numbers. Was it a desire to atone for past sins?

French are different from the English. Their francophone-ness makes them see things very differently.

It's not quite the racial thing per se as what we would think it to be.

For example, there are many people of Afro Caribbean origin that are members of the French National Front because they are considered French rather than black.

Like a lot countries post WW2, France needed extra labour and so in that sense for them it would be from French speaking colonies.

then what is the difference between their law and shariah for us ? absolutely nothing ... maybe somebody should point that out, along with a reminder of the revolution's motto  "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité"  if we helped ensure the first twice, and act in the spirit of the other two aspects where is our failure to comply ?

Have you considered taking up public speaking? I think that somebody could be you penji ;)

Very salient question. You're right, it's no different for us.

The radical Muslims want to force us to cut our hair and trim our beards, shave our mustaches, and envelop our women into tents

The radical French want to force us to be clean shaven with nary a kakkar and for our women to wear mini-skirts and bikinis.

both say don't propagate your faith, don't look like a sikh, behave like a sikh else we will bring the weight of the law onto your head. Maybe we should act as if Guru Nanak and Waheguru ji made a mistake and apologise for existing ...NOT!!!

    • 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.
