> BC Sikhs goes against our Community Standards on dangerous individuals and organizations.
This is hilarious to anyone who knows any Sikhs. They’re some of the most peace loving people on planet earth.
- edgyquant 3y agoWhat a ridiculous generalization. Sikhs are capable of being dangerous just as any other group of people are.
- slashdev 3y agoWhat a ridiculous comment. Are you trying to say all groups are equally dangerous? You know that’s ridiculous right? If you want to say Sikhs are at least as dangerous as the average, I’m open to see a statistical argument to support that position. I don’t think it’s true, but I could be convinced.
- antx 3y agoFalse equivalency fallacy. You are assuming an extreme position that nobody expressed.
- antx 3y agoThat's the problem with generalization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Sikh_terrorism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Sikh_terrorism
- slashdev 3y agoThere are bad people in every group. I’m going to go with: what’s your point? I stand by my statement until shown statistical evidence to the contrary. This link is insufficient.
- rg111 3y ago> There are bad people in every group What about Tibetan Buddhists? They have been highly persecuted. Yet only thing they set fire to is their own body.
- antx 3y ago> They’re some of the most peace loving people on planet earth Sorry, but the burden of proof is on you. Please provide a study, or serious statistics proving your point.
- adolph 3y ago> They’re some of the most peace loving people on planet earth. I'd be open to see a statistical argument to support the above position. "peace loving" != "not dangerous" As an example: The kirpan (Punjabi: ਕਿਰਪਾਨ) is a curved, single-edged blade that Khalsa Sikhs are required to wear as part of their religious uniform . . . Sikhs are expected to embody the qualities of a Sant Sipahi or "saint-soldier", showing no fear on the battlefield and treating defeated enemies humanely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirpan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirpan

- jiofj 3y agoA bomb in an Air India plane done by Sikh can hardly be called a terrorist attack in Canada.
- pseudo0 3y agoThe bomb was planted on the plane in Canada, the attack was planned in Canada, the terrorists were Sikh Canadians, and the attack killed 268 Canadian citizens...

- jiofj 3y agoI see. I think our disagreement comes from the fact I don't think "Sikh Canadians" exist. There are Sikhs in Canada, and they planted a bomb in Canada, but the location was incidental, in my opinion.
- pseudo0 3y agoUnfortunately they possessed Canadian citizenship, making them Canada's problem. That's the unfortunate reality of having one of the world's most lax immigration systems and an embarrassingly low bar for citizenship.

- yumraj 3y agoSikhs maybe, this is referring to “BC Sikhs” a group on Facebook which is, based on the post, obviously Khalistani sympathizer.
