Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Highest Sikh authority expresses concern about Muslims wooing Sikh girls to use them in “jihadi efforts”

Jan 29, 2014 3:13 pm By Robert Spencer

Akal-Takhat-Amritsar

The Akal Takht, pictured above, is in Punjab. It is the center of temporal authority for Sikhs. So this is not coming from some “extremist fringe” of “Islamophobes.” “Sexual Exploitation Of Sikhs and Others in England Worries Akal Takht,” from the Hindustan Times, January 29:

AMRITSAR SAHIB (January 29, 2014)—The Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of Sikhism, has taken a serious view of reports of Sikh girls falling victim to ‘love jihad’ an act that involves ‘charming’ Pakistani youths attempting to impress, marry and convert non-Muslim girls to Islam for using them in jihadi efforts.

The Akal Takht is concerned as along with Hindu and Christian girls, Sikh girls have also become targets of the ‘love jihad’ movement. Reports suggest that some radical Islamic groups are behind this movement.

This matter has been brought to the notice of the Takht by some NRI Sikhs and members of the Sikh Council of UK, an organisation involved in religious, social and cultural matters related to Sikhism. Its members include some prominent UK-based Sikhs such as representatives of prominent gurdwaras.

The issue came up for discussion during the meeting of the Sikh high priests held here on Monday. Akal Takht [appointed] jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh presided over the meeting. Takht Keshgarh Sahib jathedar Giani Mal Singh, Takht Damdama Sahib jathedar Giani Balwant Singh Nandgarh, Harmandar Sahib head granthi Giani Jagtar Singh and Harmandar Sahib granthi Giani Sukhjinder Singh were present at the meeting.

“We have asked the Sikh Council of UK to look into the matter and send us a detailed report,” Giani Gurbachan Singh said while talking to the media after the meeting.

The Sikh Council brought this to the notice of the Akal Takht after getting reports of girls from England-based Sikh families being trapped in ‘love jihad’. The reports also referred to these girls being exploited in various ways by their husbands and in-laws. Some of these girls were later dumped by their husbands in Pakistan, where the in-laws have been using them as domestic help.

“The Sikh Council has rescued some of the victims (girls) and brought them back to their parents,” the Takht jathedar said. When asked how many such cases existed in the UK or England, he replied, “There could be hundreds.”

He made it clear that the Sikh Council had been asked to take whatever steps it considered appropriate to halt this exploitation. It has been asked to consult other Sikh religious and social groups.

“The Sikh Council can even take legal measures to check this exploitation. However, whatever it does, the Akal Takht must be kept informed,” the jathedar added.

He also called upon parents to create awareness among children about Sikh religion and ethos. Only if awareness is created can such inter-religion marriages be halted, he opined.

The ‘love jihad’ movement is said to have its roots in Kerala and other southern states, where Christian and Hindu girls have been targeted. It has been the cause of tension in these states.

The Commission for Social Harmony and Vigilance of the Kerala Catholic Bishops Council conducted a report which highlighted the grave nature of love jihadists. The report said, “There were 2,868 female victims of the ‘love jihad’ in Kerala from 2006 to 2009.”

    about 900 of these per annum. 900.
    it sickens me to think what sorts of hell a lot of women in the region (including old Blighty now) have to just face daily.

      Right. They go through hell due to this heartless Death Cult. I wish they could warn young women against Love Jihad in all high schools and save them a life time of regret and shame.

      Of course, SHAME (robbing the dirty kafirs of their honor) is the whole purpose of this evil LOVE JIHAD. It isn’t love, but it is jihad. Pure evil. Islam.

    Where are the women’s organizations who can warn young uneducated girls about the love jihad? Where are the billboards that warn these girls that they will become the slaves of their husband’s family and one of many wives. It’s a shame that even in the 21st Century women around the world are forced to marry anyone or be ashamed of being single. As usual, there is no word from the UN human rights committee nor from the National Organization of Women. It’s the same response with female genital mutilation, nothing.

      The Western women’s movement was an economic effort.
      Once economic parity (earnings etc) was achieved, their interest in the wider plight of women was nowhere to be seen.
      Forced marriage
      FGM
      Honour attacks and killings
      Underage/child marriage..
      None of interest to Western feminism

    Why can’t the girls’ families warn them about this – and the dangers of allowing advances by muslim males? That is where the first line of defense is – the home.

    …………………………………

    And this “Love Jihad” is happening in England. Already, Muslims have “groomed’ Infidel sex slaves. That they are trageting Sikh girls—and probably Hindus—as well as native Brits does not surprise me.

    More:

    The reports also referred to these girls being exploited in various ways by their husbands and in-laws. Some of these girls were later dumped by their husbands in Pakistan, where the in-laws have been using them as domestic help.
    …………………………………

    Both the exploitation and abandonment of Infidel girls should sound *very, very* familiar, How many cases like this have we seen before?

    *All* Infidel girls and women should be wary—*especially* if the Muslim “Romeo” wants to drag them back to Dar-al-Islam, where she will likely be trapped…
