The posting of illustrations that include images and iconography of another's religion in a negative light, such as the included imagery of Krishna with a flute with a big red x over it, and one with an image clearly understood to be that of Guru Gobind Singh aiming one of his arrows at Krishna's heart while naked women with their breasts exposed dance about in their bath, seems very out of place here.
How would one feel seeing the Khanda, Nishan Sahib or an image of any Sikh Guru painted over with a red X?
I remember the outrage over the use of an image often said to be a depiction of a particular Guru, in the UK or US that was used to hawk some product.
Guru Gobind Singh's father died in defense Hindus being able to practice their religion in their own way, no doubt Guru Tegh Bahadur's sacrifice and martyrdom played a large role in his son's decision to initiate the Khalsa.
I think he saw the Bani of the Singhs as a lamp post in a sea of trouble, someone to look to for help, not as someone making fun of or bragging of the superior aspects of one's religion over anothers.
If we need to express personal opinions or the darkness of our own minds, I think we should limit that to the talk pages and leave our opinions, whether brilliant or idiotic out of the pages.
