There is a common misconception that Sikhism is a combination of Islam and Hinduism. This is not true, Sikhism is not a combination of Islam and Hinduism and neither does it drive any beliefs from either religion.
Sikhism has its own distinctive and individualistic beliefs. Some of the beliefs might be similar with other religions but this does not make Sikhism a combination of other religions.
What I don’t understand is that why some people say wrong stuff about Sikhism? What do they achieve by slandering other religions? This isn’t going to change the reality.
Let us promote harmony, peace, mutual understanding and respect among each other. Please forward this email to everyone you know.

Misunderstanding about Why Slander other Religions
I think I shouldn’t have used the word slander. Lots of people are taking a wrong meaning out of it. What I want to say is that there are some websites that display wrong information about Sikhism. I don’t know if the webmaster is doing it just because he does not know Sikhism very well or intentionally. I am writing this mail so that my friends in this group don’t make the same mistake. Just want to let you know that Sikhism is a direct revelation from God. How? Please read http://www.realsikhism.com/faq/creation.html Guru Ji is in direct communion with God and only narrates the word of God to us.
Sikhism is pure love towards God. Sikhs respect other religions. Sikh have also helped Hindus in many ways as Hindus have helped Sikhs.
Guru Teg Bahadur Ji gave up his life in order to save Hindu Priests. Aurengzeb was converting Hindus to Islam by force. Guru Ji raised his voice against such injustice. Guru Ji was beheaded. Then Guru Gobind Singh Ji fought with Aurengzeb in many battles in order to eliminate injustice.
Sikhism promotes equality for all human races and shows a path to be One with God. Sikhs in no way disrespect anyone because all are the creation of God. One light is within all and we bleed the same color, don't we?
No hard feeling for anyone and I am sorry if I have upset anyone.
