EDL and Sikh men unite in using women as pawns Bookmark and Share

According to policitcally correct left winger Sunny Hundal in the Guardian  

It seems an unlikely alliance, but the reality is that women are being used as bearers of 'honour' by men fighting old battles. But this is less about the EDL and more about different groups of men using Asian women to fight their old battles.

Let me explain. The origins of tension between some Sikhs and Muslims goes back centuries to conflict between the revered gurus and the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb (India, 1600s) who forced people to convert to Islam. It was in response to this that the 10th guru militarised the Sikh religion. Conflict continued during India's partition, when tens of thousands of Sikh, Muslim and Hindu women were raped on both sides of the border as a way for men to exact revenge.

The UK hasn't escaped the aftermath either. In the 90s an anonymous leaflet (suspected to be by Hizb ut-Tahrir followers) urged Muslim men to seduce Sikh girls and convert them to Islam. As one woman later recounted: "It caused a huge amount of panic and for months we were house-bound and banned from doing any after-school activities. But no one found out who produced it."

Rumours of "forced conversions" still circulate without evidence. In 2007 the Hindu Forum Britain claimed Hindu and Sikh girls were being targeted by Muslims but produced no evidence.

It's not surprising the EDL is keen to exploit such tension – women are pawns to be exploited for its members too. The very men who come out on the streets to defend the honour of "their women" rarely get so angry when it involves domestic abuse or rape by one of their own. The talk of alliance between EDL leaders and some Sikh extremists will inevitably keep resurfacing. But it's more depressing that patronising attitudes towards Asian women keep persisting decades later.

As good an example of Orwell's 'doublethink' as I have read in ages.

Esmerelda, Sunny Hundal is from a Sikh family and just as white English Guardian types are full of self loathing, and will do anything they can to express that self loathing through apologia and protection of Islam and Muslims, even when it involves defending Islam and Muslims in the face of the most extreme misogyny and extremism, so do we have Hindus and Sikhs of the Guardian type who do the same.

Notice how Sunny Hundal knows what side his bread is buttered on to be part of the chosen and 'halal' liberal commentariat - he goes into overdrive to exculpate Islam and Pakistanis for the sexual abuse grooming gangs, but doesn't hesitate to make allegations about his own community and of course against white English people.

This is the nature of these self loathing dhimmis, and they come from every background, their livelihood depends on licking the boots of Islam.

Once again though, some very encouraging comments underneath the article.

(The Guardian despises everyone except Muslims - it despises the white working class, it despises Jews, Sikhs and Hindus - it sanctifies Islam and Muslims)

 I am very heartened by the possibility that Sikhs in the UK and the EDL (and perhaps other groups like 'March For England) may form an alliance to resist the Islamoforming of the Island of the Mighty.  And I hope their women, especially their senior women, will team up with the indigenous womenfolk: Granny Power!

Now all we need is for the Gurkhas, and the warrior folks of Rajput and Marathi background to step forward as well and be seen in the street marches and rallies, and to make their voices heard in parliamentary petitions and letters to politicians.

Then watch the Mohammedan bullyboys run for cover when faced by the heirs of long-ago Crusaders (and the sons and grandsons of those who flew in Bomber Command or at the Battle of Britain, or who sailed the Little Ships) side by side and arm in arm and (if necessary) back to back with the heirs of the great Sikh and Hindu warriors who fought ceaselessly to try to defend their homeland from the raping, pillaging, kidnapping, slaving, mass-murdering Muslim hordes.

It is a pity that Rowling probably considers herself to hold copyright on the phrase 'The Order of the Phoenix' because as I see these alliances beginning to crystallise in response to the jihad, 'the Order of the Phoenix' seems to be the perfect way to describe them.

Suzi - that explains a lot. I knew the coerced conversions of Sikh and Hindu girls were well documented and couldn't understand why he disbelieved the many reports.
