LONDON—There have been reports of continued riots, including attacks on Sikhs and Gurdwaras. Our correspondents in London are keeping a close eye on recent activities in several cities where rioters have attacked Gurdwaras, along with some mosques and temples. According to recently intercepted information, attackers are aiming at the Broadway area of Southall, which means the Park Ave. Gurdwara may come under attack from the hooligans.
The following message is being spread to instigate attacks in Southall: “All my popeye Acton Northolt Greenford Ruislip Hayes West Drayton Slough Southall Gurnell Cowgate Marnham Hammresmith Harlseden and Wembly niggas that linked up today Roll thru tomoro at 6pm sharp in Southall broadway hit up the jewellers!”
Urgent benti to sangat: Please advise all your female relatives and friends NOT to venture out wearing gold jewelry. There have been several cases in the Midlands where opportunist hooligans have attempted to capitalize on rocketing gold prices by robbing Punjabi ladies of their necklaces and bangles.

You could certainly see your skills within the paintings you write. The sector hopes for even more passionate writers like you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. At all times go after your heart.
Sikhs anywhere in the World especially at the moment in United Kingdom have complete right to defend their places of Faith (Gurudwaras – Temples) as they deem fit. Our Gurus gave their lives for us and we should not let a bunch of thugs and hooligans insult or desecrate our places of worship.
We need to broadcast a simple message on news stations that who ever comes near the gurdwara and who ever tries to inflict damage to our holy place will be putting there lifes at risk. whether we kill them on site or kill them after. We have the right to kill. We have the right to defend our religion. WJKK WJKF
