  • Meaning and Importance of the Turban
    Meaning and Importance of the Turban Types of Turban: Dumalla ‘Gol’ Dastar ‘Sidhi’ Dastar The turban or "pagri" or "pag" or "dastar" are different words in various dialects. All these words refer to the garment worn by both men and women to cover their heads. It is a headdress consisting of a long piece of cloth tied around the head. The Sikh turban, pag or pagrri is called a dastaar , which is a more respectful word in Punjabi for the turban. Importance of the turban in Sikhism When a Sikh man or woman dons a turban, the turban ceases to be just a band of cloth; for it becomes one and the same with the Sikh's head. The turban, as well as the five other articles of faith worn by Sikhs, has an immense spiritual and temporal significance. While the symbolism associated with wearing a turban are many — sovereignty, dedication, self-respect, courage and piety, the main reason that Sikhs wear a turban is to show their love, obedience and respect for the founder of the Khalsa Guru Gobind Singh. Historical Background The turban has been worn by people for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, the turban was worn as an ornamental head dress. They called it ‘pjr’, from which is derived the word ‘pugree’, so commonly used in India. Kohanim (priests) in the Jewish temple in Jerusalem wore turbans; they go back at least as far as biblical times! Traditionally in India, the turban was only worn by men of high status in society; men of low status or of lower castes were not allowed or could not afford to wear a turban.

  • "There Are 1.2 Billion Muslims in the World Today. of Course Not All of Them Are Radicals
    Cultural & social affairs Department OIC Islamophobia Observatory Monthly Bulletin – August 2014 I. MANIFESTATIONS OF ISLAMOPHOBIA: I.I. In the United States and Canada 1. US: Peaceful Muslims aaareare Irrelevant!Irrelevant!-------- At a meeting designed to find some way to hold the Obama Administration responsible to do something about the four Americans who were tortured and murdered at Benghazi, a Muslim woman stood to challenge the panel of four and those assembled to consider dealing with Muslims and the religion of Islam only on an ideological level rather than take action or call for action beyond words. Her premise for her position seems to be that there are a lot of peaceful Muslims who should be considered as solutions to the problem of Islamic terrorism. The following is the response to the Muslim woman's challenge from one of the panel of four overseeing this meeting: "There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world today. Of course not all of them are radicals. The majority of them are peaceful people. The radicals are estimated to be between 15 to 25% according to all intelligence services around the world. That means 75% of them are peaceful people. But, when you look at 15 to 25% of the Muslim population you are looking at 180 million to 300 million people dedicated to the destruction of western civilization. That is as big as the United States .” “So, why should we worry about the radical 15 to 25%? Because it is the radicals that kill. Because it is the radicals that 1 1 behead and massacre.
