News: Two Different Journeys, One Destination

I think that it would even be a good read for those who were born into the faith, since I've heard over and over again about how a lot of born and raised Sikhs weren't taught the "why" or even "what" behind things. I can tell that Mrs. Siri Kirpal Kaur Khalsa really did put her full energy into writing, and for that, she deserves some recognition.

News: Ready to Support Chabad Synagogue After Shooting

After the initial shooting, an off-duty US Border Patrol agent, inspired by the Sikh defensive mentality, opened fire on the suspect.  Though his shot was unsuccessful, he hit the suspect's vehicle just outside the Synagogue.  Minutes later, an on-duty San Diego police officer spotted the vehicle while en-route to the crime scene and detained the suspect.

News: How to Raise Awareness of Sikhism

And to those on the Gurdwara committees, how about inviting the local police department to a diwan? I've already seen some Gurdwaras doing this and it is having a positive effect on the Sikh community. Better yet, it would be really awesome if we could invite TSA agents to come, sit down, and have langar with us.
