Sikh ''Extremists'' Linked With Al-Qaeda. [BBC Radio 4]

[AvarAllahNoor]

BRITAIN has been warned of a new terror threat from Sikh extremists linked with al-Qaeda.

Experts in the US and India have told authorities they are watching a handful of British-based Sikhs who they say have trained at terror camps in Pakistan which have connections to Islamic extremists.

They tell tonight’s File on Four on Radio Four that they fear the radicals may be planning terrorist acts in their fight for an independent Sikh homeland.

BBC Radio 4 is a UK national radio station.

Perhaps people will now understand the political reasons carry more weight than religious reasons, especially since in this case the alleged extremists seek an independant homeland (Khalistan).

Yes Sikhs campaign for a homeland. But we'd never kill innocent people. It's against our ethics. No Sikh group however radical would ever justify it.

This is another ploy by indian government to pollute the Sikh name once again. Sikhs are trying to ban RSS a terrorist hindu group who preach and gather in the uk. This smear attempt is instigating by them. It'll make no difference.

IRA - Nelson Mandela - Gerry Adams - They all were terrorists,, now they are respected leaders worldwde.

hahaha this has got to be among the biggest sack of c**p i've heard in a while... INDIA out of all places talkin about terrorism? maybe the world shud ask why International Human Rights rates India as one of the most worst countries in regards to human rights... why amnesty international has several article written against india indicating rape, torture, fake encounters, and merciless killings...

the main reason for this story is that the independant movement in india is now getting stronger... and you'd all be surprised, its not only Sikhs that want independance... there's probably close to between half a dozen and a dozen independant movements in India right now...

India is nothing but a democratic version of Iraq (back when they murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent kurds)... but, India and their bed-buddies (the USA and England) try to keep that quiet... because India's the "worlds biggest democracy"... HA!

Great, another reason for insane xenophobes to bear ill will towards anybody with more pigmentation than a ball of cotton wool.

Not to mention the call centres.

well, OBL does have himself a mighty fine beard, and he do indeed wear a turban.... ah, yes - sure, it's clear as mud. i wonder if his pal GWB knows?

But Sikh extremists (not regular sikhs) don't like Muslims either, what with Aurangzeb and all that. Why would they side with Al-Qaeda?

This is what muslims have been suffering nowadays.terrorism by what they call "extreme muslims" is only carried out by out of anger because of what is happening in palestine,iraq,chechnya and afghanistan.The american and british goverment do not understand that to end all of this grieve is just simply to leave the countries they occupy and i swear that there will be peace on earth. but who wants peace when theres oil and money to be made

they wouldn't, and they aren't... i's all a bunch of made up nonsense...

Not the whole truth. After Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji Maahraaj was martyred. His Son the Tenth Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maahraaj still had affiliations with Muslims. It's not like a few 'muslims' killed Guru Ji, that all Muslims were labled the same.

Sikh 'Extremists' have ties with Pakistani freedom fighter groups. This does not make any of them terrorists. India government begin to have kittens because Sikhs have to go to Pakistan for pilgrimage to the birth place of Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Mahaaraj. They wonder what Sikhs and Muslims have conspired against the state lol -

Anways. Sikhs & Muslims can fathom, because they are the two worst groups that are persecuted by indian government. So they are collaborating (not saying with Al - Queeda)

Oh I know that. But the only thing I would object to is the killing of innocent people. These suicide bombers kill anybody. That should not be allowed to happen.
