Comments Thread For: "Tiger" - A Film About More Than Boxing

[EDD1]

As a Sikh, i have to say that this is bs. A true sikh doesnt need a beard or a turban. Its in his heart. Sikhism is about serving and helping those in need, and believing that there is only one race, the human race. this extra stuff is very backward and not what religion is truly about.

Cool, you answered the real question, unfortunately for your culture, depictions like this -inocent and harmless as it should seem- may create the animosities towards "different from us ethnics" that are already available in this thread.
I'm a boxing fan, I love to see the sport in movies and it's a special rare treat to get an amateur boxing picture.
It is especially lame to complain about the politics in a boxing movie, then say youre a boxing fan, and a movie fan and not bother to think about the fact that all boxing movies have so called "politics" in them, so I guess all these fools have one choice for ever: "Teenwolf".

****** fighters like Ali, Hamed, Williams, Hopkins cut or trimmed their beards despite their religion branding them a transgressor (a "fasiq", someone who breaks religious law) if they did, but it doesn't nullify their religious status as ******s i.e. they're still ******s, not disbelievers. I'm positive the same applies to Sikhs and exceptions exist as angad above says, and this is just being used to cast him as a rights activist being be put down by "the man" .

mate honestly, religion is for sheep, guys like ali even renounced organized religion, religion causes more problems than it solves. look at the catholic church, there are thousand of pedophiles masquerading as priests. or even the holy wars, how many innocents died? look at the middle east, the hub of islam, it is one big shythole.

i think we should always separate religion from sports. religion has a way of destroying whats true and beautiful.
