You're looking at sikhi through abrahamic lenses. 

All religions and equal bro, just chill and be happy, repeat after me: Kumbaya kumbaya!

Stop spreading radical Sikh-izm, we dont need to educate others, its not like the Guru(S) were here to spread the one universal truth....

I agree that Sikhi is universal truth. I also agree that the Guru Granth Sahib is pure truth unlike "bibles" 

That being said doesn't Sikhi recognize that by turning to the One and eliminating ego you can still achieve sanyog, by other paths?

yep but as Guru Pita ji has said the main faults in the others is they have muddied the waters by either focussing the seeker on their own names , dividing humanity by 5chor related divisions  or plain removed naam from the equation ... so Guru ji has relayed the same missing information to those seekers so they can fufil their missions on the paths they started on ... without being trapped on lower levels of attainment because of their Guru's lack of instruction/support

Sri guru granth sahib ji is limitless ocean of gyan-wisdom. Other dharam scriptures are sea of gyan in the ocean.  Check out comparative commentary by sant gyani gurbachan singh bhindranwale on mahavaks of gurbani and vedas.

http://www.sikhawareness.com/topic/15768-gurbani-position-on-vedas-beautifully-explained-by-sant-gyani-gurbachan-singh-khalsa-bhindranwale/

Sant isher singh ji rara sahib used to say in their divans, karam and upasana of all dharams are different , different but when it comes to gyan, they all point towards same gyan.

So when it comes down to essence- ultimate truth statements- Mahavak gyan, its present both in hinduism and buddhism.

Hinduism have main four mahavaks among others in upanishads, vedant such as:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahāvākyas

The Mahavakyas are:

    prajñānam brahma - "Prajñāna[note 1] is Brahman"[note 2], or "Brahman is Prajñāna"[web 3] (Aitareya Upanishad 3.3 of the Rig Veda)
    ayam ātmā brahma - "This Self (Atman) is Brahman" (Mandukya Upanishad 1.2 of the Atharva Veda)
    tat tvam asi - "Thou art That" (Chandogya Upanishad 6.8.7 of the Sama Veda)
    aham brahmāsmi - "I am Brahman", or "I am Divine"[7] (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.4.10 of the Yajur Veda)


Buddhism also have main mahavaks among with others:

Heart sutra- Emptiness is form, form is emptiness very similiar to our gyan- Nirgun Aaap Sargun Bhi Ohi

Citi Jvālam, (blazing understanding) Apanaye Svāhā. (leading away) hail!

Even Christianity has supreme statements-mahavak too in their gnosis esoteric literature among with others such as-

I am that I am (EXODUS)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_that_I_Am

Would you define "mazhab" as the same as "religion"? Or different to or the same as "dharam"?

Have u watched maha bharat? The way they use the word dharam is diffeent. To them dharam was specific to each person. And different for each person. Like the dharam if a brahmin vs a kshatri. The dharamofa mother vs the fathers. 

So they defined dharam as duty or morals being a righteous person.

Even we do. Eh banda bahut dharmi aa. We dont mean religious we mean saintly or has good qualities. 

That is the difference between dharam and mazhab. Dharam is usually concerned about an individual. And istrying to get the individual to be better. And dharams are always getting ppl to stop doing something. Like quit alcohol. Or do something. Take amrit

While mazhab is concerned with communities.Getting laws passed to make abortion illegal. Or stopping abortion clinics in ur area. Or getting all meat to be halaal. Or breaking idols and desteoying temples. Its always an effort based on a community. Also more concerned about worldly affairs or outwardly elements. Like which way do u face when praying etc. I think christianity is the most dharmic out ofall3 abhrahmics. Because it focusesmore on inside, so most like budhism.. Judaism is more sanatan, its the oldest and ppl r ok with othershaving different interpretations and as long as ur born into it, its up to u to follow, so most like hinduism. And islam isthe you gest, most war like, more abt prescribed prayers...least dharmic...but a little like sikhism. At least outwardly.

    • 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.
