Very well said, Mr. Hussain. I would like to expand the quote from Gibran - "A truly religious person does not embrace any religion."
The people who do not belong to any religion are the so called "Communist." The Secularist, on the other hand, are the people who belong to all religions. If one can claim to belong to all religions then there is no room for hatred. Only then the goodness of a religion can be felt, and it can be used for the good of the humankind. When one religion is belived to be better than the other, there can never be any religious harmony, and nothing good will come out of any religion. The fact is, no one knows which one is better than the other; it's just faith. Many of our faiths have been proved wrong in the past. How do I know that my religion will not face the same fate. So, until then, let's believe in all religions. Lets celebrate all religious festivities, and have a good time! In one of my articles in the local newspaper, I once proposed just that. I asked the Government in Bangladesh to promote religious harmony by actively sponsoring
and participating in various religious celebrations (e.g., Eid, Durgapuja, Christmas, Buddha Purnima, etc.) nationally. This can be done effectively through grass-root inter-religious committees under the Ministry of Religious Affairs. This could bring real religious harmony in the country. Unfortunately, it can be done only when government believes in all religions, not just a particular one. How can we find such a Government?
