Preface
Sikhism, being a fairly young religion, has many
elements that mirror the wider societys
perceptions of right and wrong, and Sikhs tend to
view the world from this vantage point. Therefore
ideas such as oneness of mankind, tolerance,
human rights, gender equality, respect for other
faiths, fair treatment of prisoners, sanctity of
life, truthfulness, etc are ideals that easily
resonate with the community. These are ideals
that are inline with 21st century
values. However, there are older paths which
embrace norms that are far removed from what we
have come to view as acceptable universal moral
values and behaviour. In that parallel world,
deception, rape, plunder and cold-blooded murder
is acceptable in some situations and even
religiously ordained. Hogwash you say? Read

Sikh Girls Targeted By Predatory Forces
Of late, there have been several cases of young
Sikh girls being drugged and raped by their
Muslim friends, and then an attempt is made to
force them into Islam by telling them that a
video of the rape would be released to friends,
family and the online community at large if they
refuse.
Other girls, with rudimentary knowledge of
Sikhism, have been told various tales against
Sikhism and the Sikh Gurus in order to lure them
into Islam.
This presentation was created to help empower
Sikhs, especially young impressionable girls,
with knowledge about the role and position of
women in Sikhism in relation to Islam, and the
problem of aggressive conversions. The message is
put across using mostly excerpts from reports,
religious texts, historical records as well as
online video resources.

Where are Sikh Girls Targeted?

• Schools universities
• Social gatherings
• Vesaikhi Melas (yes, no kidding!)
• Parties, carnivals
• Entertainment outlets, including bhangra events,
  etc.

This is a global problem. We have encountered
cases from Europe, USA, India, South-East Asia,
Australia, etc. Many of the Muslim boys tend to
be mostly Punjabis of Muslim/Pakistani origin and
easily gain trust as a result. Girls seldom go
public out of shame, but have talked about it
privately.

Women In Sikhism
"In a woman man is conceived, From a woman he
is born. With a woman he is betrothed and
married. With a woman he contracts friendship.
Why denounce her, the one from whom even kings
are born? From a woman a woman is born. None may
exist without a woman." SGGS 473
A Sikh casting his eyes upon the beautiful
womenfolk of families other than his own regards
them as his mothers, sisters and daughters. Bhai
Gurdas Ji "A woman, is the favourite in her
parental home, loved dearly by her father and
mother. In the home of her in-laws, she is the
pillar of the family, the guarantee of its good
fortune... Sharing in spiritual wisdom and
enlightenment and with noble qualities endowed, a
woman, the other half of man, escorts him to the
door of liberation." Bhai Gurdas Ji, Varan V.16
Guru Arjan Dev Ji referred to Bhai Gurdas Jis
Varan as the "Key" to the Guru Granth Sahib.

given the strength of thirty (men)."

him, "O Allah's Apostle I do not see but that
your Lord hurries in pleasing you!" Vol. 748

Islamic Heaven Sensual Pleasures for Males
The Islamic Paradise or Jannat promises male
martyrs materialistic things which they couldn't
obtain in the harsh desert. The paradise contains
six important items beautiful houris
(virgins), young boys to sodomise, and water,
wine, fruits wealth!
Deflower 72 fair, dark-eyed virgin girls. "As
for the righteous, they shall surely triumph.
Theirs shall be gardens and vineyards, and high-
bosomed virgins for companions a truly
overflowing cup." Koran Chapter 78 "...They will
sit with bashful, dark-eyed virgins, as chaste as
the sheltered eggs of ostriches." Koran Chapter
37 "...They shall recline on couches ranged in
rows. To dark-eyed houris (virgins) we shall wed
them..." Koran Chapter 52 "Virgins as fair as
corals and rubies. Then which of the favours of
your Lord will you deny ?" Koran Chapter 55 "In
each there shall be virgins chaste and fair...
Dark eyed virgins sheltered in their tents whom
neither man nor Jin will have touched before..
" Koran Chapter 55 Hadith Al-Tirmidhi (the Book
of Sunah, vol IV) Ibn Kathir in (Tafsir) of
Surah Al-Rahman
.and 28 young pre-pubescent boys! "Round about
them will serve, to them, boys (handsome) as
pearls well-guarded. " Koran Chapter 5224 "And
round about them will serve boys of perpetual
freshness if thou seest them, thou wouldst think
them scattered pearls." Koran Chapter 7619
No such rewards, apparently, for Muslim women!

Treatment of Women In War
Sikhs took up arms in response to Islamic
expansion and atrocities - it was a war on
terror.
Sikhism Islam
Respect for enemy women
Taking women as war booty
Keeping of women as slaves
Sexual relations (i.e rape) with captured women (slaves) belonging to the enemy

legislative debates in the Constituent Assembly,
it was stated that an estimated 33,000 Hindu /
Sikh women had been abducted by Muslims.

Treatment of Women In War

That which your right hand possesses Capture
Rape of Girls Religiously Ordained!
Surat Al-Nisa 43 permits the Muslim to have sex
with his slave girls, which the Koran calls "that
your right hand possesses. "We have made lawful
to you your wives, to whom you have paid their
Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband to his
wife at the time of marriage), and those (slaves)
whom your right hand possesses." Interpretation
as given in al-Ahzaab 3350 The phrase your
right hand possesses al-Ahzaab 3350 means, it
is permissible for you take concubines from among
those whom you seized as war booty. Tafsir Ibn
Katheer, 3/500 Islam permits slave girls to be
kept as concubines. See video ("
Rape in Islam" - War Booty)
According to Islamic texts, Prophet Mohammed
himself transacted in slaves and had sex with
them when he desired. Sources Abu Dawud Book
32, Number 4094 Tirmidhi 864 Sirat Rasulallah
pp.464-466, etc.

Capture and rape of women Satan now reads the
marriage rites..
Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji condemned the rape and
brutalities committed against women by Mughal
invader Babur (speaking to a devotee called
'Lalo') Modesty and righteousness both have
vanished and falsehood moves about as the leader,
O Lalo. The function of the Qazis and the
Brahmins is over and Satan now reads the marriage
rites (rape). The Muslim women read the Koran
in suffering and call upon God, O Lalo. Sri Guru
Granth Sahib Ji, 722.

So enjoy what ye took in war (booty), lawful and
good (Allah encouraging Muslims to accept
booty spoils of war Maal-E-Ganimat) al-Anfaal
869
War Booty Is Allowed In Islam!
And He caused you to inherit their lands, and
their houses, and their riches, and a land which
you had not trodden (before). Al-Ahzab 3327
What is War Booty? Wealth in the form of
money, property, women and other useful things
taken in war. Isnt stealing un-Islamic? Yes,
and No! Stealing applies in the case of property
which is protected and is sacrosanct, but the
property of the kuffaar (non-believer) is not
protected or sacrosanct.

War Booty The Story of Rayhanah
25
War Booty The Story of Safiyah
In 631 A.D., when Mohammed was 60 years old, he
married Safiyyah Bint Huyayy, who was only 17
years old. She was the captured widow of the
treasurer Kinanah of Banu Nadir tribe and
daughter of the tribes chief. In other words,
she was war booty. She was taken prisoner after
the slaughter in Khybar (near Medina). In that
battle, she lost her father, her recently married
husband and all of her other close relatives.
This captured Jewish woman was given to a Muslim
soldier called Dahia. However, when Mohammad
saw her exquisite beauty, he immediately bought
her from Dahia and slept with her on the same
night her male relations were killed. He
subsequently convinced her to convert to Islam
and then took her as his 8th wife. Ibn Sa'd
Depiction the Banu Nadir tribe surrender to
Mohammeds forces
What happened after the tribe surrendered? The
prophet of Islam tortured the communitys
treasurer to extract information, then had him
killed. 1 Mohammed then took the mans widow,
Safiyyah, as his wife after trading her with two
other captured women to one of his lieutenants.
2 1 ibn Ishaq 764 2 Ibn Ishaq 758
So enjoy what ye took in war (booty), lawful and
good but fear God (Allah encouraging Muslims
to accept booty spoils of war Maal-E-Ganimat)
al-Anfaal 869
26
Setting an Ugly Precedent for Future Conflicts
What happened to the Banu Qurayzah Jews? The
respected Maulana A. Yousuf Ali writes in his
Tafsir for Sura Ahzab The men of the Qurayza
were slain the women were sold as captives of
war (booty) and their lands and properties were
distributed or divided among the Muhajirs.
People who have performed the hajj While war
rape is not isolated to Muslims alone, it is
common in conflicts that involve them. Some
recent instances of rape plunder are listed
below.
Sikhisms Guidance to Muslims when he is
merciful to all beings, only then shall he be
called a Muslim. SGGS pg 141

Islam allows four wives at the same time and any
number of concubines (mistresses). Concubinage
may be defined as the more or less permanent
cohabitation (outside the marriage bond) of a man
with a woman or women, whose position would be
that of secondary wives, women bought, acquired
by gift, captured in war, or domestic
slaves. Encyclopaedia of Islam Prophet
Mohammed had a concubine, Mariyah, who was a gift
to him from Egypt. Mohammed "had intercourse with
her Mariyah by virtue of her being his
property." al-Tabari vol.39 p.194 Emperor
Jehangir of India had one wife (Nur Jehan) and
6000 concubines! Emperor Akbar had 5000!

Child Marriages The Story of Aisha
29
Child Brides, Stolen Lives
Progressive societies have recognised that
forcing young girls into marriage and a life of
hardship is wrong and have gradually moved away
from this ugly practice. However, it remains
rampant in Islamic countries due perhaps to the
stamp of approval given by the prophet of Islam,
and now supported by Islamic clerics and
judges. Girls are usually pre-teens and the men
are often old enough to be their grandfathers.
These girls are impregnated at an age when their
reproductive organs are not fully developed and
experience very painful deliveries. They become
baby factories who have no say in their future
and the authorities turn a blind eye. Others
experience infertility and a painful condition
known as fistula.
Your eyes water, and your intellect and strength
have left you but still, your sexual desire
churns and drives you on! SGGS pg 93-11

Abdali crushed the Marathas as an all-India
power in the historic battle of Panipat, fought
on January 14, 1761, but when the victorious
invader was returning to Afghanistan, the Sikh
chiefs assembled at the Golden Temple and
resolved to take all possible measures to rescue
the Hindu and Maratha young women being carried
away as war booty by the Afghans. In pursuance
of this resolution, the Sikhs made a determined
attack at the rear of the Abdalis forces at the
Goindwal ferry of River Beas, and rescued over
two thousand young women from the clutches of the
Abdali and made arrangements to return them to
their original homes. James Browne, History
of the Origin and Progress of the Sikhs, London,
1778, p. II, 22.
Historically, Sikhs have displayed the highest
standards of chivalry. The Panipat episode is an
example

Praise From An Enemy Is Praise Indeed! Qazi Noor
Mohammed, a Muslim bigot, writes in his book, the
JangNama "They (Sikhs/Khalsa) never kill a
coward, nor pursue a fugitive. They do not
deprive a woman, whether she comes of a
well-to-do family or a poor one, of her ornaments
and other possessions. There is not a trace of
rape or debauchery among them, nor do they ever
steal. Whether she is young or old, they always
call a woman a Buriya (respectable term Buriya
means an old woman in Indian dialects) and if
ever they come across a woman on the way, they
would simply ask her to get aside. There is no
thief among them a housebreaker is never born in
them.

Womens Honour Not Safe Even In an Islamic
Republic Iranians wed, then rape virgin girls in
prison before executing them
In the Islamic Republic it is illegal to execute
a young woman, regardless of her crime, if she is
a virgin. Therefore a wedding ceremony is
conducted the night before the execution The
young girl is forced to have sexual intercourse
with a prison guard essentially raped by her
so-called husband. One such person states
"...there is a theological belief that if a woman
dies a virgin she will go to heaven, the virgin
is forced to "marry" before her execution and
thus to insure she will go to hell. From a 2002
book review
I remember hearing them cry and scream after
the rape was over, he said. I will never
forget how this one girl clawed at her own face
and neck with her finger nails afterwards. She
had deep scratches all over her. Former Iranian

Muslims Contend That Islam liberated woman over
1400 years ago..
What do you think?
Islamic View Women Are... Inferior Men are a
degree above women (Koran 2228) Worth less
Their testimony is not equal to that of a man
(Koran 2282) Less intelligent Deficient in
intelligence (Hadith Bukari, vol
2541) Spiritually deficient Deficient in
religion (Hadith Bukari, vol 2541) And
Women... ...must submit to their husband's sexual
desires when they like (Koran 2223) ...make up
the majority in hell (Hadith Bukari vol
7125) are not entitled to equal share of
inheritance (Koran 411) ...can be beaten by
their husbands if they are disobedient (Koran
434) While Men.... ...are the maintainers of
women (Koran 434) ...can marry up to 4 wives
(Koran 43) ...can have sex with captured slave
women (Koran 235-6) ...can have sex with
married captives (Koran 424) ...will have a
pick of Allahs houris (beautiful young virgins)
in heaven (Koran 4454) Note there are other
verses that give women certain rights over men,
but womens inferior position is clear in Islam.
37
Be Vigilent!
The task is getting easier by the day as the
Sikh and Hindu girls are not taught much about
their religion at all. They have a more
Westernized upbringing. " Source Leaflet by
radical Muslims, Urging Muslim men to seduce
girls into the faith.
It is important for parents of Sikh children to
expose them to Sikh history, religion and culture
from an early age. Teach them about Sikhi
(illustrated books are widely available), take
them regularly to the Gurdwara and involve them
in Gurmat camps. Gurmat camps are organized in
various countries and cities where Sikh
children mingle with their peers, have lots of
fun, and learn about their religion at the same
time. Failure to act now will only increase our
childrens risk of falling prey to unscrupulous
predatory forces. Those who are determined to act
against you and your loved ones do not slacken
neither should you. World Sikh Alliance
