Radha Soami Satsang Beas men reportedly attack journalists
Interesting story in the Global Sikh News: Beas Dera Radha Swami men attacks journalists -- no action as yet.
Senior Journalist H. S. Bawa, editor of YesPunjab.Com has release a news report providing extensive information regarding attack on Sangat TV (UK) crew members by Radha Swami Dera men.
The men of Radha Soami Dera at Beas, which preaches non-violence, attacked the crew of Sangat TV at village Jodhe near Beas in the district of Amritsar. However, both the members of the crew were lucky enough to escape the attack.
The crew members – Baljeet Singh, a correspondent and the camera man Monu – had to virtually run to save their lives as both of them were attacked by Dera men on Saturday.
What happened to "love your neighbor" and "turn the other cheek"? Oh, right. These followers of Radha Soami Satsang Beas aren't Christians, so I guess it's OK for them to hate their neighbors and hit the other guys.
Now, the Global Sikh News may not be dispassionate in reporting this story, as there are tensions between Sikhs and the religiously divergent Radha Soami organization -- sort of like the tensions between Catholics and Protestants, though both are Christian.
Here's an example: Dera Radha Swami illegally occupies panchayat land and destroys Sikh Gurudwara. God supposedly is all lovey-dovey and oneness'y. However we humans are anything but, especially when religion divides us.
