Religious Intolerance to Hardeep on the forum

[Denver]

This is probably a bit to late to say anything but can be stop taking the piss out of Hardeep for being hairy when its a big part of his religion? Religious Intolerance is a major issues within the forum.

Hair is a gift from God, therefore why should anyone give it away by cutting it? Hair is one of the five articles of faith for Sikhs. Sikhs live the way God made humans and never cut their hair. For Sikhs hair is the symbol of love for God and the respect for everything He has given us. The way God made us is the most beautiful of all.

Doesn't mean he needs to cook with his hairy belly wobbling over the food though does it

Whether he does or not it is not fair to insult him on something so important to him

:skull:

[Morgan.]

No one said he should cut it, but instead just contribute to general hygiene like wearing a tshirt whilst cooking etc.

There's a lot of things important to me but doesn't make them exempt from becoming insults.

Also body hair is less likely to fall in food then hair from the head

[Elliot]

Haven’t some of the housemates complained about hair in their food

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its only the hair above his neck that is important to his religion

[Denver]

Its only the hair above his neck that is important to his religion

It is all hair even pubic hair

[BBDodge]

So many religions, so many daft religious ideas.

There are political views I would not respect (I'm a lefty like Hardeep) and there are religious views I don't respect.

I don't recognise a difference between criticising housemates for their politics or their religion (or in Kirstie's case, both, though I like her as a person and as a housemate).

Religion is just as important issue as race, Gender equality and LGBT rights

[UserSince2005]

hes a dirty bastard and its not just the hair.

[Crimson Dynamo]

His religious superstitions should be for himself they should not impact on any of the housemates and he should expect no special treatment for his superstitions passed on to him by his parents

Half of the worlds Sikhs now cut their hair anyway as they have realisd how fecking daft it is (source wiki)

[Crimson Dynamo]

incorrect

things that you cannot help or change are not the same as superstitions

[hijaxers]

Sick to death of Hardeep and his fur coat !

[Greg!]

No. You can choose your religion, you can't choose your race or sexuality

[Denver]

incorrect

Religion play an important part in billions of peoples life

Just because you dont like it doesnt mean you can discriminate against it

[Denver]

No. You can choose your religion, you can't choose your race or sexuality

Not really yes a lot of people convert but most grow up with the same religion

[BBDodge]

Agree. Religion should be on a par with political beliefs or scientific beliefs. They are not inherent qualities.

I hate all ignorant superstitions and have no time for any of them

[Maxxie.]

No. You can choose your religion, you can't choose your race or sexuality

I mean in some cultures not neccesarilly, and that doesn't make it any less of an important issue.

[poppsywoppsy]

Perhaps a rule of no politics or religion should be the rule.

But CBB just loves arguments, don't they.

However, we did not see Hardeep practice any of his religion in the house, or was it mentioned that he did?

Why do you have to be the SJW on TIBB? Can you explain? :shrug:

[Crimson Dynamo]

hardeep did not grow hair on his body due to his religion. he is just a hairy fat man. Some men have hair on their torso and some dont, its nowt to do with religion.

[Vicky.]

I haven't seen anyone say he should cut his hair (bar one person who was being a bit ridiculous saying his mother should wax him :umm2: ) , complaints seem to be the cooking topless thing

[Twosugars]

Bet hey cut their nails tho. God must be fuming

[Cherie]

Not sure about religious intolerance, but the fat shaming and personal comments about his appearance have been at an all time high, you can dislike a housemate without resorting to jibes sbout their weight and appearance

imagine if he had been a women?

the outcry then

[kirklancaster]

I have criticised Hardeep over his breaking wind, picking his nose, scratching his privates and bottom, and burping - ALL revolting habits which he COULD 'reign-in'.

I agree that his excessive body hair is a result of nature but I for one do NOT enjoy looking at it any more than I like looking at other 'natural' physical anatomical realities such as obese flesh, varicose veins or cellulite.

Hardeep CANNOT do anything to STOP his excessive body hair from growing, and he may well have 'Religious' considerations which prevent him from cutting it or removing it, but he should also have considerations to other people who he has ELECTED to live with on CBB who may not enjoy seeing his body hair quite as often as he exhibits it by constantly going topless.

ESPECIALLY whilst he is cooking.

He COULD cover up more often.

There comes an 'age' when the human body ALWAYS looks better when clothed and Hardeep should be aware of this.

I am probably the oldest - active - member on this forum so I am not being 'ageist' just a realist.

Which male would rather see Sally in a swimsuit than Gabby?

Which female would rather see Hardeep topless than Dan?

My view has NOTHING to do with any 'Religious Intolerance and all to do with personal preference and I am confident that most of this forum is the same.

[GoldHeart]

I wanted Hardeep to stay ,but he was an easy target and didn't help himself. But Sally was awful to him .

He cooked topless & he didn't tie his hair up , a professional chef would wear a chef hat and wear an apron at least .

I think he did it on purpose to wind them up

[Cherie]

An overweight not so easy on the eye asian woman would not have got the same treatment

[Paula D]

I noticed that the last couple of shows he wasn't topless, after the tweet about the hair in the crisps. So maybe if someone had said to him sooner he'd have worn a top all the time.

I don't like the look of all that body hair either but I think it's horrible that people are calling him disgusting and unhygienic because of it. People have been calling him smelly, do you have smell vison on your tellies?

[GoldHeart]

Probably , but sadly that made it easy for them to pick on him

People don’t complain when Dan cooks topless

Has he ever cooked topless?

[BBUK-Fan]

Yes as I just said

[Ant.]

Dan doesn't have hair on his chest/stomach though??

[Amy Jade]

Yes as I just said

When? I have genuinely never seen him.

[Beso]

Dan doesn't have hair on his chest/stomach though??

Hairheeps not stirring the pot with his tits fgs...

[Underscore]

It's called basic food safety and hygiene. If it was a restaurant he'd be heavily reprimanded! That shows there's something wrong with him cooking topless. I wouldn't even do that in my own home!

Very interesting to learn that :love:

@Bold That very last part in particular does explain for me the framework for some of his beliefs in the house... that's something I would've liked to have heard between some of his temper tantrums...

So I don't think anyone meant to be religiously intolerant specifically.. Even I did not agree at all with the criticism about his hair. I thought it could be an asset as far as women go. Being blunt though, people will often find many reasons to moan about someone on a show like this... even if it wasn't about his hair, it would've been something else ...

The difference with Hardeep is he had managed create an unfriendly atmosphere around a range of topics, particularly subjects regarding his and other's physical dress and aspects of physical appearance. Because these were seen as protected property that cannot even be addressed without his permission and his "guiding" (i.e. controlling) those conversations... and then his protectionism about the role of being the cook... that made a lot of conversation around the hygiene issues unpalatable (pun unintended).

...So rather than those discussions becoming your normal conversations between housemates, they inevitably became about him and his unstable role as the affected HM because made his chip in his shoulder a main plotline... Inadvertently, he has made himself the topic of the house/TiBB... and it's this extroversion that people will often punish when it falls out of favor with their own favorites... so the personal attacks about his hair and his "disgusting-ness", his way of caring himself, etc... it was all made fairplay as he made himself the capital for conversations centering around "tolerance", even though he absolutely is not an expert on that category of discussion...

So yeah, a lot of things can seem like intolerance of various types... but his winning over and over was a real threat for to fans of other folk in the house. So people will look for any button to press at another HM's/their fans expense, not knowing what's underneath... BB does not have a very tolerant audience in general and unfortunately "friendly fire" inevitably happens when people go to war for their favorites... :laugh:

Friendly fire

Friendly fire is an attack by a military force on non-enemy, own, allied or neutral, forces while attempting to attack the enemy, either by misidentifying the target as hostile, or due to errors or inaccuracy.

Anyway, to my response about the personal attacks, I'm pretty much in line with Cherie here :love:...

Well maybe in his mind, his excessive hair is accordance with God's wishes :shrug: ... it could be said, what we view as "disgusting" is in line with calling it an abomination, and because we know he likes to publicly announce his bag of chips on just about everything he believes. Maybe for him the force-feeding his hair onto the other HM's eyeballs is a personal declaration of enlightened independence :smug:... but religious musings aside, he does seem to carry himself like he couldn't be arsed what other people think... he's very pro-Hardeep... #Hardeep2020 ...?

In BB5 Shell and Jason cooked bottomless. Just an apron covering their front bits but their arses were on display.

[Clootie Dumpling]

Whether Haardeep's overall hairiness is religious observance, or not, if I'd had all the stick they were giving him in there, I'd have made sure a couple of my pubes found their way into the food I cooked for them!
