The Kara is a symbol of Sikh identity; it is of great importance to the practising and even non-practising Sikhs. However they are so readily available in markets and other high street stores that the Kara has become a weapon for the enemies of Sikhs. Non Sikhs are buying them and using them as weapons to beat up Sikhs or deceive Sikh girls. They put on a Kara and use Sikh names in order to date Sikh girls who only date Sikh boys (we are not glorifying dating just mentioning a reality). This in turn can lead to other crimes; such as blackmail and rape upon these innocent victims of deception. There are predator cells of Islamic extremists that prey on Sikh girls and device them luring them into their vicious traps. These traps are made so much easier by the easy availability of the Kara. How stupid can the Sikh nation get, by providing a Sikh symbol as an effective tool to our enemies.
I think we should all concentrate on this issue, either high street shops ask for picture I.D or they stop selling Karas. It is up to the youth to tackle this issue, if you see this happen in your town, approach the shop keeper and tell them your concerns and ask them to stop selling them or tell them to ask for I.D. All internet shops should only sell Karas to payments recieved by Sikh Debit/credit cards.

Prevention is better than cure.
Don nothing then nothing changes.
