Shias want to build Sikh shrine in Iraq


Fired by their zeal to repay a debt to the Sikhs, India’s Shia community has embarked upon a mission to construct a Sikh shrine at Basra in Iraq in the honour of Sikhism founder and first Sikh guru, Guru Nanak.

Maulana Kalbe Jawad, India’s spiritual head of the Shia community, has decided to lead a delegation of prominent Shia leaders to Iraq to persuade Ayatollah Ali Shistani, the supreme authority of the Shia community the world over, to allow construction of the Sikh shrine at Basra near Baghdad.

Isn't that inspiring? Some muslims respect Guru Ji too! :D
 
Hmmm.....Nice for sihks I guess....But rumours and fake tales are everywhere, you don't know who to trust......Source?
 
I have a feeling someone might die over this.

I mean there killing soccer places because of short length there, are they not?
 
hmmmm.....Yeah......But Iraq is shi'ia mostly, and i'm sure they'll have it protected somehow.....but u can't avoid death over this....it's bound to hapen cos sum ppl can't tollerate....

I hope this isn't aimed at me, but i would like to state that I do respect Guru nanak as a human being. He saw evil occurring in india so tried to reform the country, and thus created a new religion in my opinion, to unite the Muslims and Hindus. So i respect him for his intentions, but i don't think you should ever lie in the name of God.

Paranoid much? It wasn't aimed at anyone, it was just to show that some muslims are tolerant...

That is true it's known as "Guru ki Maseet" (Guru's Mosque) was being used as a gurdwara (temple) by the Sikh community. The mosque is picturesquely situated on a hill overlooking a curve on the banks of the mighty Beas river in Punjab's Gurdaspur district.

Maulana Hamid Husain Qasmi, the imam of the Jama Masjid in Amristsar, the largest city of the state, was specially called to lead the first prayers in the mosque on March 23. The mosque was constructed by Guru (Sikh Prophet) Hargobind Ji 370 years ago. According to Sikh tradition, the Guru had converted the house of a dead Muslim into a masjid and set up a langar (common kitchen) for the poor. Their tradition records an encounter between Guru Nanak, the first Sikh Guru, and some Muslims which ended with the declaration that "if Hindus are the left hand, then Muslims are the right, and we all believe in the one true God."

Yeah... thanks.

Most of the Punjabis in Pakistan are Muslims right? Are there any Punjabi Muslims in Indian side?

I asume so, i've only been to India once and that was to the the Golden Temple! - I'd like to go to Pakistan to see the Sikh Shrines, as after partition they were spilt into the side of pakistan. The Musharraf seems to have a good dialogue going with the Sikhs, so that's good!
