Re: [ALOCHONA] A Journey Towards Greater Liberalisation

Is it liberalisation, accomodation or openness I do not know.   But I understand Islam is a mostly misunderstood religion or a way of life. Whether it is so called Islamists or secularists, Islam is mostly left to its hostile forces. And those in the name of it -exaggerates, deviates, innovates to chastise its pristine egaliteran values; And the other, what emerges against the backdrop of religious extremism or undesired influence and control over politics during medieval period, when churches had to forced onto the side line, the secularism, both, with all its reasonableness harming Islam. And secularism mostly today it is much touted against Islam. If love and well being of people is the foremost in the philosophy, let the greater majority of people practice their traditional belief that turns out to be immense uniting force among mankind, from where all their haman characteristics also emanates. Let Moses, Jesus, Mohammad (peace be upon all of them), Buddha and Ram's disciples inhibit this earth as per their accepted prophecies.   Those muslims still confuse please type in google - Tariq Ramadan, Hamza Yusuf, Khaled Yasin. I would personaly urge those living in the west and has little interest why they are called Muslim and why they are being run after by the so called secularist forces please read the magnificent book of Tariq Ramadan - Western Muslims and the Future of Islam.   Thanks.          --- On Fri, 22/8/08, Dalia Satter <dalia_satter@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: From: Dalia Satter <dalia_satter@yahoo.co.uk> Subject: [ALOCHONA] A Journey Towards Greater Liberalisation To: "Alochona" <alochona@yahoogroups.com>, sonarbangladesh@yahoogroups.com, dahuk@yahoogroups.com, diagnose@yahoogroups.com, banglarnari@yahoogroups.com, "Mukto-Mona" <mukto-mona@yahoogroups.com> Date: Friday, 22 August, 2008, 4:58 PM Dear Members,   The most boring thing is urban life is probably waiting in a doctor's chamber.  I was doing that and waiting to checkup my eyes.  There was a TV in the waiting room, however, it was off due to electricity load shedding.  When I was looking for something for passing time, I found a desk calendar in the receptionist' s desk.  Printing industry has tremendously developed in Bangladesh in recent years.  Most of the calendars contain beautiful pictures of the country and are of good artistic value.  I took the calendar to my seat and started turning over the pages.   It started with verses from Shahanama and continued with those of Ramayan, Mahabharat, Charjapad, Virgil and other famous literary pieces.  I am not a student of literature but enjoyed the selected verses which were ornamented with good quality paintings.  When I looked at the bottom of one page, I became astonished to find that the name of the organisation which printed the calendar is 'Ibn Sina Trust' which is known to be managed by a group of Bangladeshi Islamists.  I think you will agree that printing verses of Ramayan and Mohabharat is in the calendar is not usual for Islamists.    It seems to me that the Islamic tent in Bangladesh is moving towards greater liberalisation in a commendable speed.   What do you think?   Dalia Satter Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger .yahoo.com
