message: misconduct were laid by police against three of its priests. 
'Everybody's shocked . . . this was the last thing that would have ever popped into my mind,' said one member of Gurdwara Nanaksar, located on St. David Road in St. Vital. 
'There's a massive uproar - sex is not talked about . . . it's a very taboo topic,' he said. 
Gurdwara Nanaksar is one of only 17 temples of its kind worldwide - it is affiliated with a specific Sikh sect, Nanaksar Satsang Sabha. 
Priests at the temple are expected to be celibate, and from as young as age eight lead a monastic life of meditation and prayer, the member said. 
'(The priests) are raised in the temples - they don't have a choice in whether they are celibate or not,' he said. According to the member, the priests in question are believed to still be conducting religious ceremonies at the temple, but in a limited capacity preventing them from having contact with minors. 
Others in the Sikh community worried about the scars the charges may leave on the reputation of the nearly 15,000 Sikhs in Winnipeg. 
'This is very bad . . . any allegations of this kind reflect bad on the community as a whole,' said Mohinder Singh Dhillon, who worships at Singh Sabha, a mainstream Sikh temple on Sturgeon Rd. 
Describing Winnipeg's small sect, consisting of fewer than 300 members, as 'not for the general public, but run for certain people,' Singh Dhillon referred to the priests as 'temporary - they are recalled (to Punjab) every three or four years.' 
Paramjit Gill said it's the first kind of incident he's heard involving members of his community, and hoped for a full inquiry into the allegations. 
'The Sikh people will not tolerate any incidents like this in our religion,' he said. 
Winnipeg police said the priests were arrested last weekend and were released on a promise to appear in court. 
Sgt. Kelly Dennison added the charges are linked to an alleged kidnapping occurring earlier this month. The Free Press previously reported that on Dec. 14, a man armed with a sword and another man armed with a tire iron allegedly kidnapped two priests from the temple. The men drove them  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.6.155.155 (talk) 03:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Sikh terrorism in Canada

message: NDP Party Leader Thomas Mulcair would once again raise ire and tensions when he would bring up the 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots. Mulcair would demand that a full investigation be put into the riots and those harmed be compensated.[39] Soon after this statement, neo-Nazi gunman Wade Michael Page would commence a shooting at a Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, America, which would be described as a domestic terrorism act. Despite the fact that the shooting occurred outside of Canada, Canadian Sikhs would take full responsibility to spread the message of Sikhism, explain the religion, honour the dead and wounded as well as give their reactions to the shootings.
Wisconsin, USA
Canadian Sikhs would take full responsibility ???

thread_title:  English or Indo_English in Canada article ? 

message: In 2005, it was announced that Balwant Singh Rajoana would be hanged under the death penalty for the murder of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh on March 31 in Patiala. 
Beant Singh was the chief minister of the Indian State of Punjab, considered a hero among many Sikh youths in Canada, who stated that upon death he would become a martyr.
The announcement angered many Sikhs across the world. 
Many of these angered Sikhs were both Punjabi and converted from Canada, spurring civil unrest among Canadian Sikhs.
Beant is a hero to Sihk youth; meanwhile, the death penalty against Balwant for the murder of Beant angers "Sikhs across the world." 
I'm officially confused. 
Also, the phrase "were both Punjabi and converted from Canada" is far from clear, if even grammatical. — MaxEnt 08:42, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
