Religious insanity: Fraser Valley politician who is Sikh protests anti-Sikh MAGA supporter's permit cancellation
American far-right spiritual grifter Sean Feucht has permit revoked for show at Mill Lake Park yet Abbotsford MLA Sukhman Gill takes a bizarre suck-up-to-Christians stance
Not even two months ago, American grifter Sean Feucht posted on Twitter that it was "time for America to wake-up [sic] and realize we are in a spiritual war!" This alongside a 23-second video of a Sikh man speaking to Congress offering a religious prayer asking god to look over the nation.
"Today the GOP-controlled House allowed a Sikh man to usher chants to the demon 'Waheguru' over our nation," Feucht wrote in his June 6 post.
It’s time for America to wake-up and realize we are in a spiritual war!

Today the GOP-controlled House allowed a Sikh man to usher chants to the demon “Waheguru” over our nation.
Utterly Sickening! #HoldTheLine pic.twitter.com/DXmHAXFjUK
To start with, 'Waheguru' is simply a Sikh name for god or, translated more directly, 'wah' is 'wondrous or amazing' and 'guru' is, well, you know what guru means don't you? Teacher, guide, mentor.
This was an unimportant racist, ethnocentric, and religiously ignorant social media post by a nobody meat puppet who has been accused by fellow far-right Christians of emotional, and psychological abuse as well as financial impropriety. Feucht even baptized rapist Russell Brand in a publicly shared ceremony on a beach earlier this year.
A Christian publication in England skewered Feucht for his hypocrisy, his MAGA support, the accusations against him and more in a story from June 23, 2025.
Sean Feucht is a scam artist of the highest order, milking his affection for Donald Trump to gain followers and enrich himself on tour singing his Jesus songs, or whatever they are. Committed to a policy of separation of church and state, and worried about protests and violence, several Canadian venues pulled permits for his shows, which of course led to spurious claims of free-speech violations. The latest was in Abbotsford where he was scheduled to play at Mill Lake Park. The city pulled his permit after safety concerns were raised.
All this is to say, he is a non-contributing zero spreading bigotry and malevolence on a MAGA wave of gaslighting, money-making idiocy. So what did Abbotsford-South Langley MP Sukhman Gill say in a statement to media after the permit was cancelled for his concert?
"I'm deeply disappointed by the City of Abbotsford's decision to cancel the Christian worship concert at Mill Lake Park. Regardless of Sean Feucht's personal beliefs, Canadians have the right to attend his performance."
Clearly Sukhman Gill didn't think this through. He was told what to say by his Ottawa overlords or, more likely, his Bible-belt Fraser Valley Conservative caucus puppet masters wrote the words for him and sent 'em out. Gill is standing up for an anti-Sikh bigot who protests Gill's existence as a human being let alone him or anyone of his religion speaking inside a U.S. institution.
"As a Sikh, I would be deeply troubled if my place of worship was targeted by my government."
That's also what Gill said in his statement. Really. Equating a public park with a church or a mosque or a temple.
In fairness to him, he doesn't know what he is doing. He's a 20-something kid put into place by his rich father and other wealthy religious Conservative backers in the community. He didn't write that quote or maybe even read it, but it is on him to approve statements that go out under his name.
Dear Mr. Gill: Mill Lake Park is not a place of worship.
"Christians are being targeted, and that should concern people of all faiths," he said further.
Good grief, Christians are not being targeted. Christians are the dominant religion in Canada and B.C. and they are doing just fine maintaining their power and control over their flocks and government agencies running tax policy, and apparently even over naive elected representatives.
The comments under Feucht's post from June about a Sikh "summoning demons" in Washington are 90 per cent insane, of course, as well as being staggeringly racist and ethnocentric. But in and amongst the bonkers right-wing religious extremist, revisionist historian comments are a handful of calm rebukes to Feucht.
"Just did some research," to share one. "Waheguru means God to Sikhs and they don’t pray to demons."
Sean Feucht and Sukhman Gill are on the same page only in that they do not understand how their right to religious beliefs and freedom of expression does not mean they have a right to proselytize hate-filled propaganda in public places and expect government acquiescence.
Go home Sean Feucht. No one in Canada wants to hear from you. More importantly to Sukhman Gill, you are behaving like a clueless child who doesn't even understand what you should be upset about.
Some advice: Everyone knows it's a joke that you got the job of MLA but maybe you should just lay low and don't make yourself the punchline.
