Vaisakhi (Sikh Festival) has been marred the past 2 weeks by stabbings at festivals taken place in smethwick and handsworth in b'ham. At smethwick, a sikh has been reported dead, a muslim stabbed, and around 7-10 muslims came with baseball bats and hockey sticks to attack sikh women and our sikh elders. at handsworty, a sikh man got fatally stabbed and lies critical in hospital. These incidents have neva happened b4. I find these incideints very hard 2 take in. A lot of pride and passion has always year by year gone in 2 try and makes these a sucess in the sikh community but instead people have carried out attacks. Lets see what u da ppl of funkysnooker think?

ummmm.. dont wanna distrupte this but how the hell did you figure that? fatal means dead!

But well thats england for ya!

Pointless thread....

This is not a pointless thread! if u where a sikh then you wouldnt be saying that!

excuse my ignorance, but what is a sikh?? is that a religion?

yes it is. and correct me if im wrong but i think there not allowed to cut there hair.. umm dont really know anything else.

thats why i got a D in R.E twice lol

Shame to hear a festival of celebration had been marred by violence, although i'm sure it is just a minority.

I have worked many Sikh festivals without hassle, and have found them extremley friendly. In Leicester there seems to be a good respect on the whole for one another!

Very sad to hear this.

Also very glad to see the racism on this thread punished!

if you put threads on here like this your bound to get someone being racist so i would consider not doing it again and you will not get racist comments...

no need for it tornado.
