sikhism and sikhs in general do not hate any particular religion such as islam nor is it the combination of islam and hinduism.it is a A progressive religion well ahead of its time when it was founded over 500 years ago, The Sikh religion today has a following of over 20 million people worldwide and is ranked as the worlds 5th largest religion. Sikhism preaches a message of devotion and remembrance of God at all times, truthful living, equality of mankind and denounces superstitions and blind rituals. Sikhism is open to all through the teachings of its 10 Gurus enshrined in the Sikh Holy Book and Living Guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
Philosophy and Beliefs
There is only One God. He is the same God for all people of all religions.
The soul goes through cycles of births and deaths before it reaches the human form. The goal of our life is to lead an exemplary existence so that one may merge with God. Sikhs should remember God at all times and practice living a virtuous and truthful life while maintaining a balance between their spiritual obligations and temporal obligations.
The true path to achieving salvation and merging with God does not require renunciation of the world or celibacy, but living the life of a householder, earning a honest living and avoiding worldly temptations and sins.
Sikhism condemns blind rituals such as fasting, visiting places of pilgrimage, superstitions, worship of the dead, idol worship etc.
Sikhism preaches that people of different races, religions, or sex are all equal in the eyes of God. It teaches the full equality of men and women. Women can participate in any religious function or perform any Sikh ceremony or lead the congregation in prayer

I don't know much about it, but it is a very peaceful religion. They may hate the Muslims but they do not go around blowing things up and they do not cause a lot of trouble. They also seem to be content in their own beliefs and not feel the urge to ram in down everyone else's throats which is a welcome change from other religions.
I will have to look into it now and found out more!

they don't hate Muslims because for that they need time from their internal politics. I should rather say that there was a religion called Sikhism

yet another made-up religion. As if there weren't enough to choose from already. It was made up by nanak singh in order to try to avoid extermination by the muslims. It's become just another indian cult. mind you, it's got some nice buildings, if you like cheap gaudy decorations.

Nope, that would be Buddism. Sorry, Buddism is a faith, not a religion.
