- Beheading is a form of execution used by many Radical Islamic groups
Peshawar, Pakistan – Two Sikhs heads were sent to a gurdwara after Taliban members reportedly beheaded them in a lawless tribal area of Pakistan which borders Afghanistan.
On January 19, businessmen Jaspal Singh and Mahan Singh from Tira Valley in Khyber agency and Darra Adamkheil in Orakzai agency, were kidnapped. They were held for ransom, and when the ransom was not paid up by the deadline, Jaspal Singh and Mahan Singh were brutally beheaded by Taliban members.
The reason for their murders, according to security sources in New Delhi was that they were told to convert to Islam, or else they would face death. When they refused, both of their heads were severed off and sent to the Bhai Joga Singh Gurdwara in Peshawar.
The Indian government has made clear that this brutal killing was not acceptable under any circumstances and is in touch with the high commission in Islamabad. They are looking into the “serious incident” said a source.
The actions of the Taliban members are in line with Hitler’s methods during the Holocaust. The Taliban has put the small Sikh minority population in Pakistan, under pressure to convert to Islam. During the Taliban’s full power in Afghanistan, they had imposed the jiziya tax—a religious tax—all all minorities of which most are Hindus and Sikhs. Furthermore, all minorities were required to wear a yellow piece of cloth on their shirts to be visibly identified as non-Muslims or “kafirs” as they called it.
indian goverment should do someting aaa it really pains
Two points: One I hope that the internationally Sikhs now realise that India is their home despite all its failings. Two Islamic militias aka jihadi goons can only do this best. They are doing it and will perish ultimately doing it. “Dharmo rakshati rakchitah, paap mool vinashanam”.
