Toronto Sikhs enjoy peaceful Khalsa parade

"After weeks of news about violent clashes at their places of worship, Sikhs in Greater Toronto enjoyed a peaceful day of celebration on Sunday. Despite intermittent drizzle throughout the day, an estimated 80,000 people took part in the Khalsa Day parade. The annual event celebrates the founding of the Khalsa order of Sikhism. The event followed two weeks of bad news for Sikhs. On April 18, an armed brawl broke out at the Sri Guru Nanak Sikh Centre in Brampton, northwest of Toronto. Combatants wielded hammers, knives and small axes in the brawl, which ended in assault charges. On April 2, well-known Sikh lawyer Manjit Mangat was stabbed with a kirpan at the Sikh Lehar Centre in Brampton. Mangat survived the attack."

Well this is fabulous news for the Toronto Sikh community. This is more like it - folks coming together to peacefully celebrate their religion without violence. And 80,000 of them, wow! Although I suppose that is not very much of Toronto's millions of inhabitants. I admit I have no idea what the Khalsa order of Sikhism is, much less the whole Sikh religion, but that is good because for the most part the more I learn about religions, the dimmer view I get of them.
Now if we can only get those catholic priests to keep their hands off of children. Is the catholic religion the only one that doesn't allow their preachers to marry? What about orthodox catholics, Hmmm I will have to look that up I suppose. It seems pretty daft to me to not allow them to have natural physical contact with a partner. And what is the deal with nuns, are they only catholic? Yes some research is in order I think?
Well this post has probably left you with more questions than answers, but I can't always be perfect.
