Re: [mukto-mona] RE: ডা. দীপু মনি



Mr. Russell read it wrong.  I wrote, Pakistani Muslims can have dual citizenship with Bangladesh if they wish.  Among those who wished so are my former friend Brigadier Tony Mahmud and the Ispahanis.  Among those who believe in religious discrimination are many Awami leaguers as well.  As long as we believe in religion, we shall carry on with religious discriminations.  Some are more blatant and that makes the difference.  Even in the U. S. A., the equal privilege act has not removed religious or racial discrimination completely.

Mr. Kamal Das,
This is a news to me that 'any muslim born is Bangladesh automatically gets a dual citizenship of Pakistan and Bangladesh'?. I do not belive that is true at all. Bangladesh is an independent country and it is for all people regardless of their religious background. Aside from the radicals of JAMAT/HUJI/some BNP radicals, no one beieves in religious discrimination in Bangladesh. Thanks, Russell

A large part of the Jewish 'holocaust' is fiction rather than fact.  Reputed western historians, not just the present Iranian President has questioned it's authenticity.  About 'Lajja', what is Mr. Chakravarty's view.  Is he convinced that minorities are not persecuted here?  Apparently this guy is worse than Jogen Mandal.  Does he deem Taslima as a reactionary?  Does he know that in spite of the atrocities carried out by the Pakistan army during our liberation war, any Muslim born in Pakistan is allowed dual citizenship in Bangladesh, but a Hindu forced out of Bangladesh into India loses his citizenship and property?  Call it by any name you wish, the 'Enemy Property act' has been in force in Bangladesh for about half a century.  I do not wish to believe that Mr. Chakravarty is a moron, but is he dumb and blind?  He can't see what even members of Muslim community do.  Or is he too apologetic to those who treat 'minority property' as mal-i-ganimat?

Believe it or not: Dr. Majid is right. Reactionaries coming from diverse groups act toward the same goal although there are no written agreements among them. They do it only to fulfill their respective hidden agenda. They do it to fish in the troubled waters. You should not be surprised if you find that a muslim organization in India wants to capitalize on an anti-muslim riot. RSS may like to see persecution of hindus in Bangladesh to promote its own agenda. It has been reported that RSS spent huge amount of money to translate, print, and distribute atheist Taslima's "Lajja". Both the groups need "proofs" to make their cases stronger. Iranian president even does not recognize the history of persecution of Jews by Hitler. Is he then not an ally of Hitler?

It is highly unlikely that our current FM is a agent for RAW. However we expect our honorable ministers to know how to speak and how to make a statement. They are not ordinary citizens and their words have much more weight than you or I.

Because of her education, family background etc I was very excited to have her as our FM. Now a days I hear more disappointing comments about her than and rarely hear anyone supporting her position. It is painful to watch that our democratically elected officials are really out of touch with situation of our country.

As I said before blind supporters of parties makes me angry as well. However it is VERY unlikely that, extreme BD right group is work WITH Indian Sangh Parivar. It is as absurd as telling that, Ziaur Rahman was working for ISI during our liberation war.

There are quite a few comedians in this forum but I enjoy constructive criticism based on facts, knowledge, logic. NOT blind slavery to one party or one country. Our Creator gave us that much freedom and I don't see why we should not stay free. It makes our discussion very enjoyable...

Shalom!

                How many times do we have to hear this? Every single time is it necessary to call everyone a RAW agent? This RAW agency of their unlimited deprived imagination has unlimited RAW agents. There is never any variety. Whenever their puny little brain runs out of ideas it is RAW time! Get it RAW.

Re: [mukto-mona] Rising Seas From Antarctica to Bangladesh



History, being reconstructed from 'evidences' may sometimes be indeed different from facts.  Different authors would place the same things differently.  Different people would also have different opinions, worst are those who would not stand any criticism.  My question to Mahbub Kamal, "Do you have any clue to why Michelangelo's Moses has horns?  Was he a goat?"

You haven't seen it because Maulana Azad never declared as Dar-ul-Harb (I have never heard the term 'Dar-ul-Arb' unless it is not a typo). As far as I know Abdul Aziz, son of Shaw Waliullah Deolawi, declared India as Dar-ul-Harb. His disciple, Syed Ahmed Barelvi of Rai Bareilly was the founder of Wahabi movement in India. He was known as Shahid-e-Balakot as he was killed in place called Balakot while fighting against Ranjit Singh's army. 
 
Some people present many 'facts' very forcefully (sometimes too forcefully) which a semi-literate like me find hard to digest, some examples are the English word whore having the same origin as Arabic hur, Ram and Ra-Amun (Amun-Ra?) being the same personality :-)
 
Anyway they may have authentic sources out of at least my reach :-)
 
BTW, one of my ex-colleauges had a strong belief that Nooh (Noah) and Manu were same personality. Another senior colleague told me poet Imrul Kayes embraced Islam after losing in poetry contest with the prophet (P.B.U.H) and that Surah Al-Kawser was a result of the contest. When I said that Imrul Kayes died before the prophet's birth he became extremely angry as he heard that 'history' from his father who was an 'Alim'.

One should be a little more aware of history.  When Maulana Azad called India 'Darul-i-arb' or the land of war, hundreds of thousands of Moslems packed their bags and crossed the Khyber pass to walk their holy land and perished in Afghanistan.

"In my opinion "spiritual home" assumption is totally wrong. It will also be wrong to say that the spiritual home of a Bangladeshi Hindu is Goya, Kashi, Vrindaban, Mathura, etc. Similarly the spiritual home of Bangladeshi Christians is not Jerusalem."

I wish to sympathize with my brother.  The basic problem, though, is that his spiritual home is thousands of miles away.  If he does not relocate to the place where his mind is, I have little choice but to let him drown.  Abraham left his motherland after it was too saline to support cultivation.  Rest is history.  If my brother and I are invaded by the ocean, I would have less difficulty than these children of Abraham with a desire to conquer other civilizations by hook or crook.

If the above prediction of Al Gore really comes true, can you guess where those 35 million people will go? All of them will move in to India. The eastern belt of West Bengal and Assam is already saturated with Bangladeshi settlers and migrant workers. Colonies after colonies of Bangladeshi settlers are already present all around Delhi, Bombay, and Gujrat; can they take another 35 million Bangladeshi settlers? Most of them will probably be brain-washed anti-Indian or down-right communal cadres of BNP/Jamat. What can India do with such unwanted guests? I do not envision a happy ending. Do you?

Rising Seas From Antarctica to Bangladesh

Al Gore, Reader Supported News
01 February 12
 
fter crossing the legendary Drake Passage, we came in sight of the Antarctic continent. It is a majestic, otherworldly place. The Antarctic Peninsula, which juts northward toward South America, is lined with ice-covered mountains and surrounded by abundant wildlife in the sea. But even on this continent that looks and feels pristine, a troubling process is underway because of global warming.
The ice on land is melting at a faster rate and large ice sheets are moving toward the ocean more rapidly. As a result, sea levels are rising worldwide. Most of the world's ice is contained in Antarctica - more than 90 percent. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which lies south of the Peninsula, contains enough water to raise sea levels worldwide by more than 20 feet. Part of the ice sheet, the Pine Island Glacier ice shelf, is among the many in Antarctica that are shrinking at an accelerating rate. This has direct consequences for low-lying coastal and island communities all over the world - and for their inland neighbors.
In analyzing the relationship between melting ice and sea level rise, it is important to distinguish between two kinds of ice: the ice on land and the ice floating on top of the sea. When floating ice melts, sea level is not affected, because its weight has already pushed the sea level upward. But the melting of glaciers and ice sheets resting on land does increase sea level rise. So far, the melting of small mountain glaciers and portions of ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland has been the main contributor to sea level rise from the loss of ice. (As the oceans warm up, their volume naturally expands, and this too has been a contributor to a small portion of the sea level rise that has occurred in the age of global warming).
Scientists aren't yet sure precisely how much sea levels will rise over the next century. What we do know is that sea level rise is occurring already, with real consequences for human beings who live near the coasts. In the world's largest port cities, 40 million people are now already at risk of severe coastal flooding. That number could well triple within the next half-century or so.
Even wealthier countries are not immune to the impacts. In the United States, for example, particularly vulnerable areas are: Miami Beach, the Chesapeake region, coastal Louisiana, and coastal Texas. In some of these areas, the land is sinking even as the oceans rise. This will have implications that extend right up to the steps of our nation's Capitol. A recent study found that sea level rise of only a tenth of a meter would lead to $2 billion in property damage and affect almost 68,000 people in Washington, D.C. In addition, the enhanced threat of storm surges was illustrated last year when tropical storm Irene led to warnings that the New York City subway system and tunnels into the city could be flooded.
But the most vulnerable regions lie in developing countries, where populations are still rising fast and there is little money to shore up infrastructure. The cities most threatened by sea level rise are places like Calcutta and Mumbai in India; Guangzhou, China; and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. And of course, there are more than a few low-lying island nations - like the Maldives - that are already in imminent danger.
Then there is Bangladesh. A one-meter sea level rise - which could happen as soon as 2050 according to some Antarctic specialists - could result in between 22 and 35 million people in Bangladesh relocating from the areas in which they now live and work. Two-thirds of this nation is less than five meters above sea level. For the nation's 142 million people packed into a small space, climate change poses a nearly unimaginable challenge. The threat of sea level rise is not simply flooding, but saltwater intrusion that hurts the production of rice, the country's staple crop. Increased damage to rice farmers could soon put 20 million farmers out of work and force them into crowded cities.
Here in Antarctica, it's easy to feel isolated from the rest of the world. But as I look at this exquisite continent buried deep under the ice, it's troubling to think about what will happen as this ice melts ever more rapidly.

Crimes  Increase Rapidly: Way To Solve Must Be Found

A national daily has reported major crimes in Dhaka alone in one day.Armed muggers snatched over Tk 28 lakh after shooting at two officials of a private firm in the capital's Elephant Road yesterday.Meanwhile, another gang of criminals stabbed three fishermen on a running bus and snatched Tk 1.65 lakh from them at Bijoy Sarani in the morning.In West Rampura, a gang of armed criminals robbed 70 tolas of gold ornaments, 2.5kgs of silver ornaments and Tk 82,000 in cash from a jewellery shop in the early hours yesterday.

Those injured in the shooting at Elephant Road were Shahinur Alam, 32, an electrical engineer, and Amjad Ali Russel, 32, logistic support executive of the private company Chicks and Feeds Limited at West Panthapath of the city. Both of them received a bullet each and were admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). Shahinur told this correspondent that he along with his two colleagues was about to get into their car after withdrawing money from an NCC bank branch around 2:45pm."As soon as I pulled the car door to get in, two persons dragged me from behind. They shot at me when I fell on the ground,” he said. Russel was just behind him with the bag of money. The muggers fired at him too and ran away with the bag, Shahinur added.Security guards at the bank said the injured were taken inside the bank building to save their lives. Later, the driver of the car rushed them to DMCH.Traffic constable Azharul Islam, who was on duty a few yards off the spot, said he saw two youths with a bag running away on a motorbike. Another youth was waiting for them on the motorcycle.

Meanwhile, a gang of armed muggers yesterday hacked three fish traders on a Farmgate-bound bus at Bijoy Sarani and snatched Tk 1.65 lakh from their possession around 5:30am.The muggers then drove them out of the bus at Bijoy Sarani. Police detained two suspected muggers in this connection. Mahbubur Rahman, officer-in-charge of Tejgaon Police Station, said Tejgaon patrol police chased a bus hearing the screams of the victims and managed to stop it at Bijoy Sarani.Police managed to arrest one of the robbers and the driver of the bus. The driver might have been involved in the robbery, the OC said.Injured fish traders Mohammad Hanif, 30, Abdul Quader, 32, and Shah Alam, 35, were treated at DMCH.

In West Rampura's Wapda Road, a gang of 10-12 muggers at 4:30am tied up the security guards of a market and robbed gold and silver ornaments and cash from Sumon Jewellers.Joynal Abedin, the owner of the shop, told this correspondent that the muggers came in a pick-up van and entered the market in the guise of labourers. They broke the locks of the shop open and went away with a steel locker. Local residents chased them but could not get hold of them. Joynal later filed a case with Rampura Police Station.

The crime situation is going beyond control. We know that corruption within police force is one reason why crimes are increasing.But this increase in crimes have more reasons. Unemployment is one but we are seeing sons of rich people with cars and bikes are also involved. The street children in hundreds of thousands in Dhaka city, some of them, are also involved.

When some one's hatred for some thing or some community is so blind that it has reached the level of fanaticism, then it is really meaningless or wastage of time to engage in any fruitful conversation with him. In a forum like Mukto-mona we need to learn see things from different angles. This gut sees things from one angle only.

RE: [mukto-mona] How to follow religions correctly



Mushtafiz Said: "It is only those who wanted a god who could be seen, touched, moved, painted, dressed up etc. who rejected him; as did the followers of Moses (they created a statue of a cow in gold in his absence) and many others."

This is the problem with people, like you. You do not understand any other religious practices. Everybody believes that he/she is right. No one knows who is right. I can tell you that - every one prays to Allah; none of these people has rejected Him. You think you own Him; you don't. He also likes those who want to touch Him through His mock images. They want to dress Him up, as they wish. They want to put makeup on Him, as they wish. They do all these because they love Him that much. Get this idea out of your head that Allah likes you more than them. You haven't done anything so special for Him that you deserve such a special treatment.

Most people believe in Allah in their own way. I don't have explanation for everything, I see around me. So, I believe in a creator in my own way. I do not have to follow your way for that matter. Why should I follow somebody else's way – when he/she does not know, for sure, what the right way is? If you have a concrete proof that your way is the right-way and my way is the wrong-way, come back to me; I will follow your way. Until then – get the thought out of your mind that others have rejected Him. You are just parroting someone else's thought. That's what you were told to believe. I was told to believe many things also. I follow only things that I judge myself to be right. I am an independent thinker; Allah did not make me a lamb to follow another lead lamb. That's how I think of myself.

I hope you agree with me on one fact that science has not yet been able to make anything by which one can dream as he wants to. If the dream is pleasant, we call it pleasant dream; if otherwise, it is labelled as nightmare. Semantics is not the issue here. But who induces these dreams? Man has been dreaming since his creation. People have been shown a solution to their problem through dreams. Shankar Jaikeshan hit upon the lyrics of that classic song (Mandole - nagin) in his dream while he spent the whole day trying to find one when awake. But WHO sends these dreams? And what about the messages that come through these dreams? Is no one responsible for it? Yes there is one. Not rocket scientists, nor medical experts of today. But ALLAH. He has sent, and still sends messages, solutions, warnings etc. through dreams. If you believe that much, you are among the FAITHFUL ones, if not then there are many other names for that!!

FAITH is blind in certain aspects. When the Prophet of Islam asked his followers to believe in that unseen BEING, he demanded reposing BLIND FAITH in Allah. It is only those who wanted a god who could be seen, touched, moved, painted, dressed up etc. who rejected him; as did the followers of Moses (they created a statue of a cow in gold in his absence) and many others. Even science will tell you to believe in things which cannot be seen, touched, moved, painted, dressed up etc. BUT are out there!! Reject them at your peril.

M. Rahman said - "The very first condition to become a Muslim is to have unquestionable FAITH in that unseen being called ALLAH. The rest emanates from that faith."
The story you cited about "Caliph Harun al Rashid" implies that you should believe in every unforeseen incident that happens in your life, because you do not know what Allah will do test your faith. And also you should believe in all your dreams you have ever seen. That's what blind-faith all about is.
Do you want to know how I will interprete the Caliph's dream? He felt guilty and he was worried about the fact that the beggar might have come from Allah to test him, and he may have failed Allah. The consequence of his guilt and fear resulted into a nightmare.

 - - - trying to push rationality into people - - - , " - - -  they are amenable to improve and come out into the world of liberated minds."  Here is the problem. When you think that you are rational and those who profess faith in Islam are not, that you have ' liberated minds', others don't. Isn't it how one tries to claim that ' I am better than thou'? Let me give you a simple example of faith. The story goes like this that once caliph Harun al Rashid was going with his wife Zubaidah in a caravan. After a bend, a beggar looking man stopped them. The caliph was annoyed when the beggar asked, 'Will you buy the paradise, then give me a coin?' He wanted to do away with the man when his wife intervened and asked that the beggar be given a coin and no harm done. They then went on, the incident forgotten. The next morning the caliph woke up sweating and out of breath. Zubaidah asked the reason. The caliph said that he dreamt that they had died. And Zubaidah was in the paradise while he was burning in hell. He sent for that beggar but never found him.

Now that story may be concocted. That is not important here. The moot thing is your FAITH. Here Zubaidah had firm faith in the hereafter. So she thought whats the harm in paying a coin if it can get me in to paradise. Her husband probably was more 'rational' as you put it. He probably had an ' amenable liberated mind'. So Islam is all about faith. The very first condition to become a Muslim is to have unquestionable FAITH in that unseen being called ALLAH. The rest emanates from that faith. The faithless will obviously make fun of it, claiming themselves more learned, liberal minded, rational etc. etc. But the fact remains that all of us will die. Our soul will get separated from the body. What is done to the body does't matter. What matters is what happens to the soul?

I agree with Dr. Das, there is no point in trying to push rationality into people that are too much inside their cocoon of religion. But I believe a lot of people who identify themselves in terms of religions are actually not too religious; they are amenable to improve and come out into the world of liberated minds.
 
I also think that people who found new incarnations of God in humans like Ramkrishna are as stupid as people who found messengers of God many centuries back. However, I am willing to tolerate the idiocies of religions as long as they do not translate into hatred and injustice. In that respect, the followers of Ramkrishna and Buddha are better than the followers of the abrahamic religions. Although the contemporary Christians are a lot more moderate, less into their religious enclosure, and do talk about peace on earth (as opposed to peace for the Christians).

When someone says, his religion is 'perfect for me', I would spare him from criticism and would also not take his judgement as final on any issue for any reason.  Buddha used to say, "Judge everything, even if I said it."  Seeing what the Buddhists have done to Buddha by making him a God, it is easy to see what followers of other religions have done to their preachers.  For example, the Ramakrishna Mission has invented a new heaven called Ramakrishna Loke reserved for the deceased members of the mission.  A few decades ago, they demanded to the Government of India that they be treated as a minority religion separate from Hinduism. The children of Abraham are not as audacious.  They did not forget their root so soon.

So, there was no response to my question from any other Muslim but Mr. Q. A. Rahman. The question was, "is it enough for a civilized world to treat the slaves fairly, to consider freeing a slave to be good deed, and to provide some rewards for freeing a slave?" It would have been refreshing to hear from genuinely religious Muslims something like "the reality of the sixth century did not allow Mohammad or Islam to abolish slavery, but their way of treating slaves was very progressive at that time; over a period of 1400 years we could certainly extrapolate that progress to the point of abolishing slavery in the 20th century."
 
That would have been honest and rational, while showing a lot of respect for Mohammad and Islam. However, I am disappointed that we did not have such honest and rational Muslims in this forum. Of course, that rationality would have made Mohammad and Islam inadequate for our time and for the future.
 
The problem I see with the average Muslims is that they have been too much in the irrational territory from their very childhood. I actually feel sorry for them; it must be very difficult to develop rational thinking while growing up in an environment of praying five times a day.
 
While I criticize the stupidities of the Hindu caste system and the way they used to treat women, one thing I like about the contemporary educated Hindus is that most of them eat beef, and most of them do not mind if one calls Krishna a characterless womanizer.
 
If one looks at eating beef by the Hindus and eating pork by the Muslims, eating beef by a Hindu can be reasonably argued to be a bigger sin than eating pork by a Muslim. Muslims do not eat pork because Mohammad called it dirty; Hindus do not eat beef because bull was the carrier of the high god Shiva; thus, like a god.
 
If one looks at the fundamentals of the two religions, Krishna is supposed to be more revered by the Hindus than how much reverence Muslims are to show Mohammad. According to Hinduism, Krishna is God in the form of a human; he is not just a messenger of God. Thus, insulting him would be no joke according to the fundamentals of Hinduism. But the Hindus do it anyway; no one gets death threats for doing it. To me, that is a sign that Hindus are progressing faster toward a rational Human identity.
 
In any case, I suppose, I should not expect much rationalism from seriously religious people.
 
So long for now,

Mr. A. Q. Rahman thinks that his religion is perfect is spite of the fact that it does not abolish or condemn slavery.
 
Now let me ask the same question to everyone who identifies himself/herself as a Muslim: is it enough for a civilized world to treat the slaves fairly, to consider freeing a slave to be good deed, and to provide some rewards for freeing a slave?
 
Hopefully, I will comment more on the subject after hearing from some other Muslims.

I had already read these two verses, and a few more, in the Koran, and commented that "the religion asks its followers to treat slaves with fairness, and considers freeing a slave to be a good deed." Mr. Q. A. Rahman said the same thing below, diluting it in a full page of gibberish.
 
Let me comment here on Mr. Mustafizur Rahman's statement also. He wrote "Rewards for freeing a slave are numerous in Hadith." Let me just trust that he read the Hadith and knows this for a fact.
 
Having agreed with both the Rahmans, let me ask them; is it adequate for a civilized world to treat the slaves fairly, to consider freeing a slave to be good deed, and to provide some rewards for freeing a slave?
 
To me, there is no such thing as "treating a slave fairly." Once you brand someone as a slave, you are already too unfair to him/her. Reward and praise for freeing a slave is not enough for a decent world; we needed abolition of slavery. Today slavery is prohibited in all the respectable societies and countries of the world. As the human civilization progresses, I have no doubt, more and more of the unfairness and injustices will be gone from the world.
 
As for religions, the bottom line is, if an honest reading of your religious books allows you to respect the religion, please do so. But do not claim it to be perfect, as you should be able to see from this particular example.
