After persecuting and tormenting the Hindus in the valley for over 3 decades, radical Islamists have now targeted the Sikh community.
On June 26, twin cases of abduction, forced marriage and religious conversion of young girls from the Sikh community by Muslim men came to light in India’s Jammu and Kashmir. According to reports, one of the victims is an 18-year-old mentally unstable girl from Badgam district of J&K, who has been married off to a 60-year-old Muslim man. The second victim is from Mehjoor Nagar in Srinagar; she went missing after attending a function at one of her Muslim friend’s home. It is alleged that she has been married off to a Muslim boy who attended the function.
It turns out that this sensitive case has not been handled efficiently by the authorities, and the judiciary has shown no compassion for the victim’s family. The girl was abducted four days ago, and was kept in remand for two days after being recovered by the police from Chandoosa. She has not been allowed to meet with her family.
The Sikh community, feeling rejected by the government, revealed that the Superintendent of Police, Mubashir Hussain, who was handling the case, had assured them that the abducted girl would be returned to the Sikh family. However, the judgement of the local court was against the Sikhs. “The police inspector guaranteed in writing that the girl will be handed over to the family after she is presented at the Court. But the judgement came in favor of the Muslim man, and the girl is being handed over to them,” he complained. SP Mubashir claimed on camera that the victim was very volatile, and thus the administration had given her time. “Allah knows what drama she caused inside the court,” he added. The girl, apparently, informed the judge that she was being tortured and harassed by the police.
Citing the Covid-19 advisory, the authorities didn’t allow anyone from the girl’s family inside the courtroom while the hearing proceeded. They had to wait outside. On the other hand, all the relatives of the Muslim man were permitted to be present inside the courtroom.
Members of the Sikh community have taken to the streets and gathered in front of the district court to protest the abduction of the Sikh girls. Local Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee President Sardar Santpal Singh claimed, “A daughter from Sikh community has been lured into a relationship with false promises of love. Her mental state is not stable. She has been tricked into Love Jihad.” Highlighting that the government’s response to the incident has been irresponsible and unacceptable, Singh added, “the government’s attitude towards us is not positive. The judge didn’t allow us to enter the courtroom during the hearing, but admitted all of their (the Muslim party) relatives. They should have given the girl’s family at least one week with the girl, but they didn’t.”
Ironically, the members of the Sikh community had asserted on multiple occasions that they were living in perfect harmony with the Muslims in the valley. However, this friendship has started showing cracks now, as protesting members have requested the intervention of the central government in this case and demanded that law enforcement officials act against such forced conversion. A Sikh politician who, in a failed attempt to appease the Muslim demography, once vehemently criticized the Love Jihad laws, has taken a 180-degree turn and is acknowledging the existence and threats of Love Jihad.
The incident has attracted massive criticism from all sides, except for the Muslim intelligentsia and the liberal cabal that always extends its unconditional support to that intelligentsia. While one would expect moderate Muslims to join with India’s religious micro-minority, the Sikhs, in their struggle, Muslim Twitter users have been spotted abusing the Sikhs as “scum” who took to the streets for “one isolated incident.”
However, this is not an isolated case of a Sikh girl being abducted by the Muslims for marriage and forced conversion. A government-run Islamic university in Jammu and Kashmir was caught in a controversy after a female electrical engineering student, Mandeep Kaur, was stabbed by two unidentified men during Ramadan 2018. The victim’s father alleged that his daughter was being tortured by her friends — three boys and one girl –- to force her to convert to Islam. “They started threatening her to keep roza, read the namaz….When she refused saying her religion doesn’t permit her to do so, they would taunt her and call her names,” he revealed to The Print.
Hindu women have suffered a nightmare in Kashmir. It is only a matter of time until the other minorities face the same fate, if the government doesn’t take immediate strict steps to check such incidents. If one were to believe the Sikhs’ claims of indifference from the court, one would have to admit that the present status of Kashmir doesn’t augur well for the religious minorities, that is, for the non-Muslims in the area.

Jammu and Kashmir: Two Sikh girls abducted, married and converted to Islam, court remains indifferent
…………………
Just appalling–these *poor girls*. And this happened in India, not Pakistan. But I suppose that Jammu and Kashmir are so overrun with Muslims that it scarcely matters.

CA has some well respected Sikh communities that have become very prosperous because of their business skills. They have respect. One time a guy -not sikh- killed one of there most respected farmers and leaders and did receive trial by the USA.
It is sad that the Sikh in Muslim controlled lands are treated so badly. Simply because they are not of the Muslim cult.
Now the USA has to put up with the inherent criminal behavior of Islam- We do have laws against what Islam represents (shariah_ ) and if we had used them then the criminality of islam would not be so bad. It is as if 9/11 never happened. That was the time when any and all crimes of islam needed to be carried out by them being ejected from the USA.

Over the last few years, I’ve gradually lost my respect for the Sikh community. In 2016, we had that Sikh punk who tried to crash one of candidate Trump’s rallies in protest against the call for a ‘muslim ban’, and it was since then that I noticed that the Khalistani faction of Sikh opinion was squarely on the side of the muslims. More recently, Khalistanis joined anti-Israel demonstrations in the west in support of the jihad. I’m done w/ them: the only Sikh who I still respect today is Harmeet Dhillon
One leader of the Akali Dal – the major party that claims to represent Sikhs in India – recently mocked the state government of UP for passing laws against forced conversion, and asked whether Hinduism was so weak that it needed government support. But after this incident, he turned around and demanded the same law to protect Sikhs

A documentary about the grooming gangs of Englandistan included a large segment covering the abuses young Sihk girls have endured at the hands of these maggots.

And yet Khalistani organizations in the Ummah Kaliphate remain absolutely silent about this, and instead protest Israeli activities in Gaza
