The American GI Forum Hall was packed
with hundreds of mourners as members of the huge Sikh community of the
Bay Area gathered for the funeral service of Hari Singh and Satnam Singh,
two of the three people, who were killed by a gunman in a high-profile
attack the previous Sunday. Speaker after speaker came up to address the
grieved for their lost loved ones and prayed for their families.
However, members of Indian Christians
United (ICU) took this advantage of the Sikh community in mourning as an
opportunity to convert them. Brother Younis Masih and two other Punjabi
converts walked on top the stage and announced they would be playing a
gospel song. Younis then walked to his harmonium, one sat down with a tabla,
and the third held a Bible.
In the following minutes, the Christian
converts inappropriately began singing to Christian songs, preaching the
virtues of Christianity over Sikhism and read two passages from the Bible.
Younis spoke in fluent Punjabi in an attempt to convert as many Sikhs as
possible.
