Her remarks translated "Jay Leno is an American Comedian. He made a joke. Grow up and learn how to laugh. The American government is not going to censor free speech simply because your sensitive superstitious soul had its feelings hurt. Put your big boy pants on and deal with it".

This is FREE promotion of The Golden Temple, it'll bring those cretinous yanks some education about Sikhs and their Religion. Ironically the most white converts to Sikhism are located in the USA. It's the only Holiest place you'd see Sikhs, Muslims, Buddhists, Jews, Christians, Hindus all together peacefully paying their respects, it was created for this purpose. One God for ALL people

@bustyn you are not the only to suggest that.It's easy to preach to others when you are not the one offended.Would u still give the same advice if Jay Leno had made fun of the victims of 911 or groud zero?The golden temple is not just a temple where sikhs worship.They were massacared there on several occasions.My point is why is it ok to make fun something which is sentimental to others?Sikhs are all aways struggling to educate people of their identity & Leno didn't help with this joke for sure.

as far as i understood this joke, it was only about the presidential candidates' money and their appearance. is there anything else i overlooked?

If this is a free speech why OSHO was expelled from the US, he was only preaching a free speech as well, Let me clear this, free speech mean shows your main church as a crupt politicans house, and I really want see if no one will be offended, just one recent remarks by Indian politician and so many people was offended by his words, and its wasnt about any ones religion or sacred place it was just about to say your help is peanut and we dont need it, free speech wow, I hope I am allowed as well.

Basically, if you can't respect someone's beliefs, learn to keep quiet! His show isnt funny anyway! I am sure if he were makin fun of Pope, atleast some group of people in this world would come up against that!

[BRRUUUAAHHable]

@ Davindernu ... im a sikh and i agree with you 100%, im not offended at all. and your right. there are bigger issues then this. most sikhs complaining need to learn their history!!

[leaprod1]

it's a comedy show ?????

[townsendjean]

Wow! President Obama was the first US president ever to host a celebration to honor the first sikh guru!!! Wait till Gingrich gets a hold of this item to add to his spewing slop of hatred and resentment against Obama.

[Davinderanu]

Message to all my Sikh brothers and sisters Indian Government is helping us for this? But they cant help us to bring justice to those Sikhs who were killed on Delhi streets and all over India for being Sikhs? Come on guys this is not offensive at all. There are way other bigger issues.

Hypocrites!! BHOOND KO NA CHERO! Mullah type Sikhs will be disliked by this over reaction. They are making A MOUNTAIN OUT OF a Rye. Why they have no shame due to "Talve Chatu" PM who is truly a slave of Italian Sonia. Jay Leno gave a complement to show a beauty of gold and Golden Temple but brain washable got washed easily by politicians who want their vote bank. Remember 5 Muhammad cartoons & Mullah outcry but later on, rest of world watched thousands worst cartoons made by people all over
