Kirpans not allowed

Battara · 26th October 2006, 09:01 PM

I wonder how much all of this restricts antique weaponry collecting.

Probably not at all.

what i find bazar is the crazed fear of eged toold and guns that many people in western europe. ,, and this seems to be very strong among the poeple leading these nations,,

im surprised by this because i consider these contries very safe , aspecialy germany and denmark,
and the sort of places where one would think it would be just fine to own and carry what you wish..
also what i cant understand is that violent crime was far more common in there contires 40 years ago than it is now,, yet they seem to think they are having a crime wave when someone gets stuck with a knife,,

the people in these countires sturck me as law abiding and not atall aggressive,, infact a rather passive population,, i never encountered anyone with the threatening manner or look,,
why would they think that their population is blood thirsty killers who will become carzed when they touch a knife or gun......

i think one could just lay down and sleep where they whished in germany or holland or denmark rite in the street, that is how safe it is,,
i think here the first young goon who crossed you would proably try to do you some harm just for he fun of it...
........

tomany laws make not fun ofr anyone,,

I think in North West Europe. The public display of knives not connected to a persons job of work. Is rather like nudity or smoking dope, loudly using the "F and C" words in public, some people argue to be free to do that. A matter of accepted public decency. Are they being denied "FREEDOM"

being a sikh i belive it is my duty to reply to the above posts.

please do not compare such religious practices such as sharia islam with sikhism which is a peaceful equality based religion.
the kirpan means selfless service and righteousness, i.e only to be used in times to protect ones honour (usually anothers) such as a women being attacked etc. not for a pub brawl might i add.

not all sikhs wear kirpans only baptised ones, suggesting that they meditate for atleast 3 hours in the morning ridding one of such animal feelings of anger.
regarding the knife culture in europe (stabbings) i implore those who feel otherwise how many incidents where a sikh kirpan was used (illegally or otherwise) i am sure they are more incidents of snooker chalks being used

Also regarding "moderation in india" this is a very strange assertion giving india's size sikhs only make less than 3% of the population there so to categorize and make an assumption is unfair

i would like to remind my fellow enthusiasts that sikhs deserve their religious allowances especially in europe "With only voluntary recruitment into the army, young Sikh men helped to swell the Indian army from 189,000 at the start of the war to over 2.5 million at the end of the war." over 200 hundred thousand were injure with many killed in world wars of europe which sikhs voluntarily participated in due to injustice.

i respect all your opinions, my sincere apologies for any offences taken,
