Sikhs Continue To Lead The Way In Religious Tolerance

“SIKHS built four doors to the Golden Temple at Amritsar, in north India, to welcome believers from all four corners of their earth. But in the five centuries since, few religions have followed that tolerant example. Hindus and Muslims fight fiercely over religious ruins in ancient Ayodhya. Christians have long wrangled among themselves, and with other faiths, over Jerusalem’s holy places.” — Read the rest from The Economist. 

I’ve often written here about religious tolerance.

My book, Daughter of God, was very much about that and the universality of religious experience — except when dogma and narrow-minded humans get in the way.

I’ve had a number of these conversations with one of my very best friends, tech entrepreneur Inder Singh who gave me the book, below. It’s a prize in my library.

If you read the Economist piece, above, you’ll find how sad it often is that other religions do not live a faith of tolerance as the Sikh’s do.

I believe that finding peace with God begins with finding peace with fellow humans.
