Thanks to Mr.Mustafiz Rahman for his engagement. When reacting to some of my comments published in the Ottawa Citizen, a reader called me a freak and the news paper a monster. He did not further fearing that might block his way to the heavens. It's not surprising that we shall never understand the meanings of democracy and freedom if we continue to value them by keeping our mindset in the 7th century. Many people gladly embrace changes knowingly and unknowingly but draw an impassable line when it comes to religion. By accepting that limitation they abandon reason and logic. They accept an unfounded fear and decline engagement. This reluctance bears serious consequences. In the name of faith they remain reclusive and condone inhuman acts by their silence. They ignore the mortally sick at home and run after the source of that sickness. The emancipation of the mankind does not lay in the caged religious edicts. We can no longer divide the humanity in the name of religion. We can no longer claim a certain religion as the best. It's reprehensible to call another human being an infidel. Religion can no longer claim the front seat. Do not blame others for your woes. Search your own soul and seek light.

This is yet another one that accuses us of not allowing rebutals to posts that have been approved here. Well, this post is approved as an example of exactly the kind of obnoxiousness that the poster represents in lying about Mukto-Mona's policies and about the antecedents of the vast majority of our members. Those who would like to be entertained by the clown show that follows this ntoe are welcome to laugh at it. Those who rpefer more discussion may ignore it and delete it without hesitation.

> I fully agree with one statement of the writer. "This faith has mortal enemies within its own ranks". They have Muslim names but rest all upto the core they are anti Islam. They have been brainwashed so much by the so-called catchwords like "democracy", "freedom" etc that they will not hesitate to give mortal blows to the very religion whose names they bear. If one sells ones soul to the devil then religion will appear like "dogmas" to them. This condition has been elucidated in the Quran. When man will see white as black and vice versa. Let Switzerland eradicate the very symbols of Islam. These people will support it just because that country is "democratic" and "peaceful". In France a woman can publicly expose her private parts, it will be accepted in the name of 'freedom', but if she does just the opposite - to cover herself up - that will not be accepted. It will be labeled as 'faith has subjugated her with dogmas'. If a young woman willingly exposes herself there then according to the definition of citizenship she will be willingly participating and propagating in the 'values and ideals' of her place of residence - in this case the great France. But if she protects her modesty by covering up then she will be considered unfit to get even the citizenship of that great country. Just ponder to what nadir our moral decandence has reached! Websites like these greatly advance such thought processes. Letters which propagate such twisted logic will be readily published but their rebuttals not. So Islam does not need enemies when they have friends like these. I dare you publish my letter verbatim.
