A Strategy to Secure Peace in the
Indo-Pakistan Sub-Continent and the Middle East.
We Believe That:
- Grant of Vatican like status to Gurdwara Nankana Sahib in Pakistan the birthplace (1469 AD) of the founder of the Sikh religion Guru Baba Nanak (a holy personality revered by Muslims also) would set an excellent precedent for the United Nations to grant a similar status to the Haram Ash Sharif and Masjid-A-Agqsa in Jerusalem.
- A Vatican like status for the Gurdwara Nankana Sahib would electrify pacify and unite the 18 million martial Sikhs and 125 million down trodden Muslims in India and could bring peace safety and tranquility to the 700 million Hindus of South Asia.
- A Vatican like status for Haram Ash Sharif will allow the people of the book (Muslims Christians and Jews) to coexist in Al Quds (Jerusalem) in a “spiritual condominium”. It will bring peace to Jerusalem where through an extraordinary conjunction of mythologies the plot of land on which the Haram Ash Sharif and Masjid-A-Aqsa now stand is hallowed by the world’s three major monotheistic religions Islam Christianity and Judaism.
- If the Muslims of South Asia debate and understand that a vital issue of one of the holiest sites in the Islamic world Haram Ash Sharif in Jerusalem is at stake they will value and support a precedent setting action by Pakistan which grants a Vatican like status to Nankana Sahib one of the holiest sites for the Sikh religion.
- Support and opposition to a harmless proposal for grant of a Vatican like status to Nankana Sahib in Pakistan and Haram Ash Sharif in Jerusalem would sift friend from foe for the Sikhs and Muslims of this world.
We take one additional lesson from history: Bipartisan public support is essential for the success or initiation of any policy in any country. Therefore Muslims Sikhs Christians and Jews the world over from any school of thought and from all walks of life could debate and support with clarity and candor a policy which calls for a Vatican like status for Haram Ash Sharif in Jerusalem and Nankana Sahib in Pakistan.
We believe that with the help of Allah we can and will succeed in this endeavor and that is why we have made this statement. We ask our Sikh Muslim Christian and Jewish brothers and sisters to join with us. To show your supports for peace please fill out the form below and mail to: Committee for Vatican Status for Nankana Sahib P.O. Box 66484 Chicago TL 60666 U.S.A.
Your response is eagerly awaited.
