It appears that Muslim dumbass teens will apparently be dumbass in a very very Muslim way.

Or why a mod has yet to change the thread title?

Why would the mods change it? "Paki" isn't offensive in America and no one cares what you Brits think...

I don't see this as any different from me and my friends forcibly putting down popped collars, thereby desecrating helpless teens.

How is that a Muslim way?

It's a perfectly cromulent word in India, used to refer to a Pakistani. No slur.

You're not speaking to a majority-Indian audience though.

...I just got the surreal image of aneeshm walking down a rough Western neighbourhood having "paki" shouted at him by yobs and thinking everything's grand and dandy.

I don't see how being dicks to people of different ethnicities is a particularly muslim thing.

Here's the real thing though Aneeshm, if you want to portray Muslims as being jerks don't pick obnoxious teens as your example, because that's just plain stupid. How about you deal with the much more impressive things like thier draconian laws.

Though really, you shouldn't be too hard on them because as far as I can tell all religions (including Hinduism) basicly had completely crappy mean-spirited evil nasty beliefs. It's just taking Muslims longer to supress them enough to interact sucessfully with sane people (people who don't believe in relgious BS).

Oooh, two for the price of one!

Again, nobody thinks "Paki" is offensive except Brits, and Brits don't matter anymore. Deal with it.

India:

Victims of anti-Sikh riots face further delays

Amnesty International urges the Government of India to fulfil its promises to hold to account with speed and earnest commitment any individual, including police or government officials, found responsible for human rights violations during the violence against Sikhs in Delhi in 1984. The organisation is concerned about further delays in the pursuit of justice for these victims and continuing impunity for its perpetrators.

Twenty-one years after the violence against Sikhs in 1984, virtually no one has been held to account. Eight inquiry commissions concerning the anti-Sikh riots have preceded the Nanavati Commission, but victims have yet to see justice.

A similar pattern of delays to justice and impunity for perpetrators exists for other large scale incidents of human rights violations in the country.

During the period of militancy in the state of Punjab - mid 1980s to mid 1990s - Amnesty International received reports of torture, deaths in custody, extrajudicial executions and ~{!.~}disappearances~{!/~}. While there have been a small number of prosecutions and despite the recommendations of specially established judicial inquiries and commissions, impunity has prevailed in many cases. Amnesty International calls for an end to impunity in these cases.

The death toll in 1984's riots was about 3 000 Sikhs.

Details of pre-mortem haircuts were not available.

Pakis. In the UK and Canada at least, its consiedered offensive to refer to someone of South Asian origin by it.

In the eyes of people who use that word, aneeshm is as much a paki as are the boys who cut the hair. And so is the Sikh kid for that matter...

No, in the eyes of some people who use that word it means anyone from the sub continent. I do wonder whether it's one of those words that, while unacceptable to use to describe someone from the sub continent, is a perfectly legitimate shortening of the word to describe someone from Pakistan. I mean, it is just Pakistani with 5 letters chopped of the end.

I changed the title as it has seemed to offend some people, but I tend to think shortening any name is perfectly acceptable.

So you'd be happy to see the initial "S" and the trailing "horpe" removed to give an acceptable name for people from S****horpe?

That was a bad time for Sikhs. Indira Gandhi did them immense harm.

Indira Gandhi had built up Bhindranwale as a counter to the Akalis, but he got out of hand, and started a campaign of terrorism and separatism. She was then forced to storm the Golden Temple.

The 1984 riots were engineered by the supporters of the Congress, and party cadre. I've come across accounts of Congress party supporters systematically gathering into mobs and invading Sikh localities, and perpetrating what can only be termed as attempted genocide. The RSS and the pariwar were, of course, on the side of the Sikhs, and helped them. Even Khushwant Singh, the notorious Sangh-baiter, acknowledges that the RSS had helped to protect Sikhs from Congress rioters.




As for the data relating to the period of separatist terrorism: it was a Sikh who was in charge of the police force at that time. During his predecessors' time, the force had become demoralised, and afraid to the thugs of Bhindranwale. He gave them powers to do as they wished, anything to break the power of Bhindranwale's thugs. Once the state had been cleansed of separatists, the army was called in to storm the Golden Temple, which Bhindranwale had fortified into a proper fortress and position. The guy in charge of that operation was also a Sikh, BTW. A number of Sikhs took part even in the first wave of attackers, who knew for certain they were going to die. Nobody backed out, even though they were asked if they wanted to (as it was a matter of their faith).
