A symbol to remind the wearer of restraint in their actions and remembrance of God at all times,""<BR/> <BR/>....for sports or craft activities on health and safety grounds.<BR/><BR/>Consequently, therefore, she chooses to defy the basic tenets of her Religion and presumably, seeks not to restrain her actions in these particular sessions, or could it be that H&S is a more powerful religion?<BR/><BR/>Further, it appears to me that a certain amount of eyebrow plucking has taken place on the images of her that have been published. This is in contravention of her Religious rules.<BR/><BR/> ""Every male should add "Singh" after his name and every female Khalsa should add "Kaur" after her name. They must never remove hair from any part of their bodies.""<BR/><BR/>This young lady's name has, so far been given as Watkins-Singh, Singh, and now, due to her devotion, should be Kaur. A slight identity crisis IMHO.<BR/><BR/>Here's another problem.<BR/><BR/>"" The Khalsa will remain distinct by wearing the Five K's but shall not injure the feelings of others professing different religions.""<BR/><BR/>It would appear that this young lady now seeks to injure the feelings of others by insisting on wearing her religious symbols, knowing full well that her fellow pupils are not allowed to wear theirs.<BR/><BR/>The passages indicated ""....."" are extracted from The Sikhism Home Page with absolutely no permission whatsoever. I expect they'll sue me now.
