PCG Scare Mongering Against Sikhs

How does the PCG leadership persuade PCG members to pay three tithes and extra offerings? This is a complicated question but one way how this state of affairs is maintained is by making them so scared of others outside of PCG that they are distracted from noticing the problems among themselves. PCG's leaders have used many kinds of persons and boogeymen to keep PCG members distracted from the problems among themselves.

One target of their scare mongering and vilification are Sikhs. The Sikh religion originates from the Punjab region and has been present since the late 15th Century.

In the August 2006 issue of PCG's recruitment magazine, The Philadelphia Trumpet, Robert Morley wrote an article scare mongering that there were terrorists and deportees living in Canada.
Terrorist organizations with members who have obtained sanctuary in Canada stand out like a “who’s who” of world terror, and include organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, Algeria’s Armed Islamic Group and Babbar Khalsa (a Sikh militant group). (Robert Morley, Where Terrorists and Deportees Walk Free?, August 2006.)
Then on July 27, 2007 Morley wrote an article about a controversy surrounding a Sikh parade which featured floats celebrating a leader of Babbar Khalsa, a militant group that was part of the Punjab insurgency. From the late 1970s till the early 1990s an insurgency was waged in Punjab province against the Indian government. Thankfully this insurgency has since faded away.

The same article was rewritten for the October 2007 issue of PCG's recruitment magazine. The issue was also alluded to in an article published on August 26, 2008.
Some of the Sikh “martyrs” pictured on the floats belonged to the terrorist group Babbar Khalsa, which is considered a terrorist organization by Canada, the United States, the European Union and India. Babbar Khalsa is a group dedicated to establishing the independent country of Khalistan in the Indian state of Punjab.
Babbar Khalsa founder and Khalistan separatist Talwinder Parmar was the mastermind behind the 1985 Air India bombing that killed 329 people, mostly Canadians. Those murders made Parmar, in the words of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, “the worst mass murderer in Canadian history.” Parmar was also known for publicly urging attacks on Indian targets, saying, “Indian planes will fall from the sky,” and telling his followers to “kill 50,000 Hindus.”
Talwinder Parmar was portrayed as a hero on two parade floats. (Robert Morley, Sikh Terrorism Enters Politics in Canada, July 27, 2007.)

For example, last year several members of parliament—including representatives from each of the Conservative, Liberal and New Democratic parties—attended and voiced support for the annual Vaisakhi Day parade in Surrey, British Columbia. This, despite the fact that the local Sikh community was using the opportunity to glorify Babbar Khalsa terrorists like Talwinder Parmar, who, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, is “the worst mass murderer in Canadian history.” (Robert Morley, Balkanizing Canada, August 26, 2008.)
On February 18, 2009 Joel Hilliker wrote a particularly xenophobic article scare mongering against immigrants coming to Britain. In the article Hilliker scare mongers against Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus. Notably this article was written just after the financial crash of 2008. Xenophobia is a tool used to distract people from the problems among themselves.
[A certain individual]’s hope of conquering Southall is probably far-fetched. After all, the majority religion there is Sikh; the next largest religion is Hindu. Indians and Pakistanis make up two thirds of the borough’s population.
Yes, we’re talking about west London. Railway signs there appear both in English and in the Gurmukhī alphabet. The majority of Southall’s residents were born outside the UK; officially only 12 percent are indigenous white British—though this figure is sure to have fallen since it was recorded in the 2000 census. (Joel Hilliker, The Changing Face of Britain, February 18, 2009.) 
It should be noted that Hilliker lives in Oklahoma and came from the State of Washington. Why is he promoting xenophobic fears about Britain?

On August 6, 2012 PCG published a brief article mention the massacre in a Sikh Temple at Milwaukee in which six innocent people were murdered.
A gunman killed six people at a Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee on Sunday in a rampage that left terrified worshipers hiding in closets.
The attacker entered the temple with a semi-automatic pistol as members filed in for morning meditation. He began his murderous rampage around 10:30 a.m., killing six and wounding two. According to reports, when police responded and an officer began helping one of the victims outside, Page ambushed and shot the officer. The police returned fire and killed the gunman. (Gunman Kills Six at Milwaukee Sikh Temple, August 6, 2012.) 
Later on August 7, 2014 while discussing an incident of protests during the 2014 war in Gaza he scare mongers against immigrants coming to Canada. Instead of viewing these clashes as a tragic symptom of the war in Gaza he exploited this incident to scare monger against immigrants. One of the groups he mentions to incite fear and loathing of immigrants among his readers is Babbar Khalsa.
How long before Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, ISIS, Tamil Tigers, Babbar Khalsa, Mojahedin-e-Khalq and other radical groups’ family members introduce jihad to Canada? Shiite versus Sunni; Arab versus Israeli; Ethiopian versus Somali; Croat versus Serb; Armenians versus Turks; Turks versus Kurds—how long of a list do you want? (Robert Morley, ‘Kill the Jews’ in Canada, August 7, 2014.)
PCG's vilification and scare mongering against Sikhs is part of PCG's scare mongering against many different kinds of people. This scare mongering is used to keep PCG members distracted from the problems among themselves. It is easier to keep their loyalty if they are so scared of these outsiders migrating to their neighborhoods.
