Repeat after me Sikh != Muslim. Islam and Christianity are much closely related in scripture than Islam and Sikhism.

WE have than Sikh pray the muslim prayer at the El Paso Islamic Center. Sikh is than mixute of Buh , Hindic, and Islan from India. India Muslim consider then Muslim even it they donot meet all the regulation. First the Buh and Hindic donot want then and the Muslim show mery on then by considering then fellow muslim.

Pakistan Muslim consider the Muslim as than few other muslim group. Plus they save Islam from being destory by the English and France by the schools they set up thoughtout the middle east and India Subcontinent that taught the Islamist faith.

There are more sects in Christianian, the Salvant Army have than very odd prot christianian belief that isnot very mainstream.

What about what Sikhs themselves say, Charles? Isn't that relevant?

Alot of Muslim are getting trie of other people of other religious saying who are muslim or not muslim. There are about 9 million Muslim in America than a ADL is going around saying there only 3 million muslim as they exclude some group of Muslim as being Muslim like the Black Muslim they are barely in but other muslim group are working on change some of they beliefs to fit the muslim belief. Who is better at deminate who is than muslim or not than Jewish group with one jew saying the america muslim must exclude this muslim as we donot like then, or the muslim deminate who is muslim or not muslim.

Religious observance is low among French Christians. We have very few people who still observe days like the All-Saints (1st November), or Mary's Assumption (15th August) for their religious values. Heck, even big religious moments such as Easter and Christmas are hardly religiously observed anymore.

In French schools, we have about 2 weeks vacations every 8 weeks (that is a 6 weeks work - 2 weeks vac sequence). It is very easy to have these vacations encompass religious holidays. For example, there is no reason that Spring vacation gets called "easter vacation", just as there is no reason the November vacation gets called the "All-Saints vacation". Especially with WW1 armistice (Nov. 11) so near.

We don't officially call them "christmas vacation" or "easter break" - however, most individuals do, because that's what they are. If the levels of observance are different enough in France to not cause massive scheduling problems, then I raise my objection. It's just that in the US they are so big (though not in a particularly religious way) that it would be disastrous.

In Americ there is no Christmas or Easter School Break anymore. We have winter and string break now. There is no more Christmas party at school anymore they are winter party now.

I know, but we still have the holidays around that time because it's practical.

They have absolutely zilch to do with Islam. I do not know where you get your information from but I'd check them again if i were. This is a good site about sikhism: http://www.sikhnet.com/s/SikhIntro .

If anything the main tenets are not disimilar to Buddhism.

There is than sect of India Muslim that grow beard which they trim but never cut off and grow hair on their head which they never cut off and wear turban on they head and they will attack anyone who try to cut off they beard.

Heard an interesting blurb on the radio today. Some school boards in Canada may be considering copying the French edict re religious garb and symbols in schools. I have not found a written source yet, but I will look for one.

I hope not, but keep on top of it.
