Mr. Mufassil Islam; At the end of this letter, I have pasted a copy of an article that was sent to me by a friend who lives in Beyond that, I would like to add some of my own thoughts on this. So called Islamic intellectuals with their bigotry, myopic visions and immense disrespect to other civilizations and cultures have given Islam and the Muslims a bad name today. Many of those intellectuals grew up receiving Islamic teachings from Class 8 pass mullahs. Some of them obviously obtained higher education beyond village Moktobs. That however, did not clear the brain washing they received during their childhood. These are the people who we find relentlessly trying to force their version of Islam through our throats. View points expressed by intellectuals such as yourself strikes me to the fact that you all believe your perception is always superior to that of the rest who hold a different opinion on the same subject matter. I do not know you and you surely do not know me. Therefore, in reading my writing you can always blow me away as another idiot trying to sound smart. But in the case of Humayun Ahmed who is a PhD, an established author and a respected retired university teacher, how could you even think that you can surpass his intellectual abilities with yours? Why makes you think you know better than him? Yet better why do think you know better than anyone else. Your mindset suggests that all those people who are in favor of the statues are nothing but ignorant morons. What makes you develop such disrespect for others around you? You are asking people to not to do something that other people want to do. And in doing so they are not even harming anyone. This shows the general intolerance from people of your types to the rest who holds harmless opposing views. This is the root of all problems for the entire civilization today. This is the cause of all the wars (justified or not) and this is the cause why there is the continuous tension between your type of Muslims and the rest of World. Let's go back to your mail; People like you keep people like us scared and makes us worried about the future of our dear motherland. Not too long ago, Mullah Omar came to power with Taliban in While reading your mail, I took a curious interest in your title "A human Rights Advocate". Based on the contents of your typical writings, I think you believe "your type of fundamentalist Muslims" is the only humans as you continuously advocate for them. Please do not forget there are other humans who follow the same religion with a much open mind or of different cultures and some of different religions. I think you should separate yourself from those "inferior" humans and revise your title slightly to call yourself "A Mullah and a fundamentalist Muslim Human Rights Advocate." Anwar Lalon sculpture at Dhaka Airport : Demolition fanfare by the bigots ...... Mannequins in Macca This picture is from a store in a mall located within 100 yrds of Kabba Sharif. Many stores in this mall displys different kinds of Mannequins to attract customes to sell products, just as you would see in any modern mall all over the world. [some even shows "naked" female breasts to display bra & brief sets, similar to the picture: If you have visited Macca lately, you must have noticed that space around Kabba at Masjid-al-Haram is now sorrounded by world class 5-star hotels and a very large western style shopping malls. Now when you walk out of the Al-haram, all you see is malls and big hotels. Makkah is supposed to be a place of spirituality, not materialism. Any kind of spiritual benefit one gets from the Kaba gets easily lost the second he/she step out and walk into these buildings. All you see is people eating, buying, selling, you totally don't feel like you are in Mecca. Many people, go to Hajj taking it as if it is some kind of vacation area, people want the best hotel, the best food, drink, comfort etc. You must be personally knowing Hajis who took advantages of cheaper gold in Makka and Madina. Masjid al-Haram in May 2007, Mecca [ see the high rise malls and hotels in the background skyline] Have you ever seen the Jamaatis and bigots like Mufti Fazlul Hoq Amini or Saikhul Hadis Ajijul Haq ever protesting these "un-Islamic" practices in Macca [Saudi arabia] ? The Lalon sculpture is very much consistent with the tradition and culture of Bangladesh. If use of Mannequins can be approved in Macca Malls, why there is so much fuss about the Lalon Sculpture at the Air Port? It is another FACE of POLITICAL ISLAM i.e the use of religion for political purposes ! --- On Sun, 11/9/08, mufassil islam <mufassili@hotmail.com> wrote: From: mufassil islam <mufassili@hotmail.com> |
