I am afraid that extremism is growing in Sikhism. There is little or no regard for law when it comes to a matter of faith. No wonder most states based on religion are failing.

Nothing to do with extremism, this is simply a small minority of sikhs’s who have nothing better to with there time. Brum has thousands of Sikhs and only 200 turned up!!!! They send each other emails and txts for these events – bit like football hooligans. So NO these do NOT represent the Sikh community!
