Re: [mukto-mona] FW: :: :: One Page from My-Diary :: :: :)*BLOW UP DADDY !*:) A HILARIOUS Article~Smiles for U all-:) ('DAWN')



Mr. Das, 
Thanks a lot for your thoughtful comment. You are absolutely right about Fadak and miseries of Fatima inflicted by fellow muslims under the leadership of Omar and Abu Bakr. There are several hadits about this conflict - by Bukhari, Muslims, Abu Dawood.

http://www.hadithcollection.com/sahihmuslim/147-Sahih%20Muslim%20Book%2019.%20Jihad%20and%20Expedition/12747-sahih-muslim-book-019-hadith-number-4354.html

http://www.hadithcollection.com/sahihbukhari/92/5687-sahih-bukhari-volume-005-book-059-hadith-number-368.html

According to Ibne Ishaq/Al-Tabari, Muhammad's dead body was in bed for two and half days without burial. He died on Monday noon, buried on Wednesday night.  Three-rivalry group was trying to make the next leader: All Ansars for Saad bin Obaida, Al-Abbas/Al Zubair gong for Ali Ibne Abu Talib and Omar Ibne Khattab gong for Abu Bakr.  Abu Bakr came into power with the help of Omar. During his death in 634 CE, he paid it back to Omar by selecting him as next Khhalifa-i-Rashedin. During the reign of Omar Ibne Khattab (634-644) fought the most for expanding the domain of Islam: 

  1. Battle of bridge in Iraq (Muslims defeated by Persian) – 634 CE
  2. Battle of Fihl, Damascus (Syria)  - 635 CE
  3. Battle of Yermuk (decisive battle against Byzantine) – 636 CE
  4. Battle of Qadisiya in Iraq and Madain  - 636 CE
  5. Battle of Jalula  - 637 CE
  6. Battle of Yarmuk (conquest of Jerusalem and Jazirah) – 638 CE
  7. Conquest of Khujistan and movement into Egypt – 639 CE
  8. Conquest of Egypt, lead by Amr bin al-'As – 640 -641CE
  9. Battle of Nihawand (final defeat of Persians)  - 641-642 CE
  10. Battle of Ray in Persia  - 642 CE
  11.  Conquest of Azerbaijan – 643 CE
  12.  Conquest of Fars – 644 CE

Omar was brutally murdered by a Persian slave, Abu Lulu Firoz in 644 CE. The next Khalifa, Othman Ibne Affan was also brutally murdered by Muhammad Ibne Abu Bakr in 656 CE. Muwabia ibne abu Sufian was appointed as the governor of Syria (not Egypt) by Omar (not by Othman) in 639 CE.  During the reign of Muawiya – 21 wars between 662-677 CE.  The 2nd civil war (Fitna) among Muslims began in 680 CE. There were 14 wars between 680 to 692 CE.

Most Muslims does not know all this "BLOODY" history of Islam. They have very little interest in learning, more interested in listening "PICK AND CHOOSE" quote and distorted/falsified stories from hypocrites and labeling others indiscriminately as Islam haters/Islamophobic. 

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with us.

Mr. Azad, I beg to differ on a few minor points.  Fadak was a fertile oasis snatched from the Jews by the Prophet.  Abu Bakr deprived Fatima from its inheritance.  He quoted an edict from Muhammad heard by himself that the property of Prophets become the property of the communities which follow them.  She had stopped talking with Abu Bakr as a result of this deprivation.  As she and Ali would not declare allegiance to Abu Bakr, her house was burnt down along with her inside it, after Ali was forcefully removed.  She was in an advanced state of pregnancy and died a day later.  Twenty four years afterward, when Ali became Caliph, he had already married the widow of Abu Bakr.  He thus became the step father of his 'mother in law' Ayesha.  What an ideal community!! 

Egypt was first conquered during the caliphate of Umar bin Khattab.  One of the reasons that Uthman was killed had been the making of Muabia bin Abu Sufian its Governor.  After the assassination of Uthman, Ali rewarded Muhammad bin Abu Bakr with the Governorship of Egypt.  However, after the death of Ali, Muabia became the Caliph as Hasan bin Ali was incompetent and remained happy with wine and women along with the grant he received from Muabia.  Hasan was poisoned by one of his concubines, Muabia might not have any role in it.  Muhammad bin Abu Bakr was brought in from Egypt and was burnt alive in a bag of straw for his role in the death of Uthman, the third 'rightly guided' Caliph. 

The history of the Arabs is thus a history of uncivilized bunch of thugs.  However, they became somewhat civilized by the Persian influence during the Abbasid rule in Baghdad.

"Muhammd won in the short run, but in the long run the Umayyads slaughtered his descendants---"

 >>> You are absolutely right!

Fatima died about 6months after the death of her father. He had lot of mental sufferings after  Muhammd's death,  inflicted by fellow Muslims. Within 10 days of the death of Muhammad, 'Fadak' was confiscated by 1st Caliph Abu Bakar from Fatima /Ali.  Though Mohammad himself gifted it to his daughter. Muhammad owned it as "BOOTY" from the Jews of Khayber.  Abu Bakr even did not give her chance to dry her "tears" after her father's death!

Ali did not get power till 656 CE, a long 24 yrs after the death of Muhammad!   As soon as he got in power, the 1st civil war (Fitna) between Muslims started. He had the 1st war with Ayesha (mother in law).   During his reign (656-661) he had the following wars:

  1. Battle of the Camel (between Ali and Ayesha)  - December, 656 CE
  2. Battle of Siffin  (between Ali and Muwabiya Ibne Abu Sufyan) – July, 657 C ( Kharijites break away from Ali)
  3.  Battle of Nahrawan (Kharijites defeated by Ali)  - 658 C
  4. Conquest of Egypt – 659 CE 

Ali was brutally murdered (by a poisonous dragger) by one of the Kharijii on Januarry 661 CE.  His elder son Hasan was brutally murdered by poison (conspiracy of Muawiya Ibne Abu Sufian) in 670 CE. His 2nd son Hussian Ibne Ali was brutally murdred by soldiers of Yazid bin Muawiya bin Abu Sufian in the battle of Karbala on October 680 CE.  

 Within 48 years of death of Prophet Muhammad, all of his able adult male immediate family members were brutally killed by fellow Muslims.

No in depth analysis is required to understand the events of the prophet hood of Muhammad.  Prior to the claim of meeting the archangel Gabriel, Muhammad was trained by a Nestorian Monk named Sergius/Bahira on religious stories.  After such claim, in course of over ten years, he got the loyalty of not more than seventy followers from a community of over five thousand.  Even that loyalty was bought out with wealth from different sources, e.g., those of Khadija and Uthman among others.  The verses revealed in Mecca were futile effort to earn recognition.  Then he migrated to Medina where he successfully used the Christians against the Jews, looted the caravans and Jewish enclaves, and collected enough wealth to hire mercenaries for his Mecca expedition.  After 'conquering' his dreamland Mecca, he was not sure of security to live in that place and preferred to live in Medina.  Ultimately he probably got killed by his wives, Ayesha and Hafsa, as the Shiite believe. 

Islam was the result of a tribal feud between the Umayyad and the Hashemite community.  Muhammd won in the short run, but in the long run the Umayyads slaughtered his descendants.  Not even his beloved daughter, Fatima, was spared.  A few months after the death of Muhammad, Fatima was burnt down with the house she lived in by the thugs who were close associates of the Prophet.

This incorrigible fool, QR, does not know that the concept of nation/state grew after the French Revolution.  Earlier, a nation was properly described as kingdom. Supernatural power had to be invoked to ensure the legitimacy of the rulers.  The Prophet of Islam did not care much about his disciples forming a nation after his death.  It is well known that he did nothing to compile and preserve the holy revelations which in the eyes of non-believers like the Quraish community was nothing more than a bunch of "rantings of a deranged mind".  The quote was taken from the preface of "Muhammad and the Qur'an" - Rafiq Zakaria (p. x, l.12).

Member Abul,

Any credible scholar of Islam knows batter of badr was defensive. The expulsion of Banu Qaynuqa was not a conflict but a result of treason they committed. As per treaty they should have received death penalty but the prophet gave them a lighter punishment. Later on when Banu qurayza did the same thing again, he allowed them to pick up a judge of their choice and they were punishment as per written agreement. Which is well known as the Medina Charter.

Looks like you are making up stuff as you go. Anyone who have some basic understanding of history will tell you that, you are manufacturing fiction here.

Campaign/Treaty of Hudaybiya

>>>>>>> Bunch of Muslims were going for pilgrimage when Meccans stopped them. Muslims did not get into fight but settled for a compromise and returned to Medina. How is this an attack?


. It is the so-called moderates who (knowingly or unknowingly) deceive the faithful ignorant Muslims by their lies and hypocrisy.  We must understand the very fact the prophet Muhammad was a man of 7th century and we are in the 21st.  Anyone who believes that all the teaching of Islam is mandatory [example, sharia/fighting infidels (jihad) etc] is a "fundamentalist", NO EXCEPTION!

>>>>>>>>>>>> NO where in Islam it is prescribed to attack non-violent non-Muslims. Maybe you are stuck with few texts without any knowledge of the contexts.

Secondly the term "Fundamentalist" is a negative word in context of Christianity. As per scripture of Islam, the fundamentals of Islam are sound. I do not know how long you have been a member of this forum but we have discussed a lot about fundamentals of Islam. Please feel free to read up on them.


"prophet Muhammad (PBUH) chose to forgive EVERYONE who persecuted the prophet PERSONALLY".
 >>> Not true!
Prophet Muhammad ordered to kill ten individuals on the day of conquest of Mecca even if they were found inside the Kaba. Among these ten three were female.


>>>>>>>>>> This is the problem of knowing half truths.

Kindly RE-READ what I said. I said he forgave everyone who offended him personally.( I made it in large fonts to get your attention but you missed it). 

Among these ten individuals, there were people who were inciting people to kill prophet Muhammad (PBUH). At that time, he was the head of Islamic state and any conspiracy to kill him is considered an attack on the state. Prophet forgave everyone when they tried to kill him for 13 long years. He did not fight anyone. Rather left his beloved town peacefully in search of peaceful solution. He was given permission to defend Medina when the Meccan pagans started to attack Medina to wipe out the new Islamic state.

Do realize you could have a fist fight with lawyer Obama when he was a civil rights lawyer in south side Chicago. If you even verbally threat him (The same person), it will be considered as an attack on the United States of America and you will surely end up in jail for a long time. If you found conspiring to harm the state, you will find your rear end in some prison cell without any trial (Like Guantanamo bay).

Therefore, it is important to understand what is personal and what is a crime against a state. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was duty bound to punish anyone who were inspiring people to kill him or harm city of Medina. Otherwise he forgave thousands of people who attempted to kill him, who tortured him, mocked him, insulted him, persecuted him for many years.

I am sorry to say that, you do not even understand the situation but make comments that is inaccurate.



Another example of similar situation will be when Bangabandhu allpowed Pakistani officers to leave around 71. This was a settlement where Pakistanis were given exemptions. If any officer still wanted to kill Bengalis, what should we have done to that idiot? Obviously you have no choice but to kill them.

Similarly those ten people were still trying destabilize the peaceful amnesty given by prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Some people were killed for their own actions. Rest of them (Who submitted without any provocation or bloodshed)  were forgiven.

Shalom!

"list more than sixty failed or successful battle (expedition /Raid),"- the number of Gazwas committed by the Prophet was more like 89 than like sixty.  Without religious bias, one would brand him as a successful bandit who used the name of almighty Allah to serve his own interest.

Volume VI-IX of 'History Al-Tabari' covers the time of Prophet Muhammad. If you are too lazy for that then try to spend some time to 'blogs' where untold story of Islam  are often discussed and verify their references from the earliest Islamic sources.

At the same time, the arguments made in those blogs and links provided are without logic but shows a visible discomfort and ignorance of Islam.

I only tried to point those out in my last post.

I have been fortunate to spend time with many scholars of Islam (Both Muslims and non-Muslims). I am aware of differences but I also knows fundamentally Islam is sound.

I agree that, subject is vast but if you study the life of the last prophet (PBUH), you will see Islam was very liberating and compassionate. prophet (PBUH) only punished people who fought against Muslim umma and forgave everyone who wanted to harm him personally. Which says a lot about this man and how Islam was established.

Shalom!

Mr. Rahman, I have the chance to read many of your comments about Islam. It appears to me that your understanding of Islam is very primitive for the fact that the comment you make is very often argued by a stereotype sets of "words (that you mentioned)" in every mosques around the globe by al kinds of Clergies. If you really believe that "religion" is an essential part of your life, please try to learn it from the EARLIEST POSSIBLE SOURCES before it become contaminated by thousands of dedicated hands who tried to shape "Islam" according to their own way. Few of those earliest sources are:

A) The Life of Muhammad — A Translation of Ibn Ishaq's (704-768 CE) Sirat Rasul Allah – A. GUILLAUME, Oxford University Press, Karachi, 1955
B) The History of Al-Tabari (838-923 CE) – "Tarikh al-rasul wa'l –muluk", Translated and annoted by W. Montogomery Watt and M.V. McDonald (University of Edinburg), State University of New Yok press 1987.
C) Ketab al-Maghazi- by  Al-Waqidi (748-822 CE), Ed Marseden Jones, London 1966.

Obviously the subject is very vast and beyond the scope of discussion in this forum. You will be surprised knowing the "differences" what is said in those text and what we hear from our Clergies.

member Abul,

I read your blogs and links and I am not sure which parts of Islam you have problem with?

When a group of people establish a state, they have to bring down laws, punishments and processes. This is true for any country anywhere in the world.

In our beloved Bangladesh, we saw a lot of violence in post liberation Bangladesh. One member of Mukto-mona even said (In last few days) that, post liberation Bangladesh saw more minority property confiscated than Pakistan era. Regardless of your ideology, it is utter idiotic to expect once you have a functioning state, you will not have codified laws to protect innocent civilians and the state itself against attacking enemies.

If a state could functioned without laws and punishment, the US could have run the whole country with candy bars instead of trillions of dollars in defense, police, jails (The largest in the world) etc.

The important thing to understand that, fundamental values of Islam remained the same. That did not change with time. Even when the whole arabia was under the feet of Muslim (After Mecca was under Muslims) they did not take revenge, prophet Muhammad (PBUH) chose to forgive EVERYONE who persecuted the prophet PERSONALLY.

During the whole life of prophet Muhammad (PBUH), he forgave every personal offender. Only punished those who wanted to destroy all Muslims from the face of the earth.

I think it is a very compassionate and noble approach.

Shalom!

Mr. Roy,
You are welcome! I believe that the problem with these people is a "LESSER ONE"!  Not only because they are fewer in number but also we identify them easily by their speech and action. They have no hesitancy declaring clearly and truthfully from where do they get the inspiration (Quran/Sira and Hadit).  Is there any ambiguity of Dr. Firoz kamal's article about the message he tries to 'feed us'? Is there any doubt about his intention and root of his inspiration?
The greater problem is with "us", the so-called moderates.  Religious hypocrites always deceive us by their "PICK AND CHOOSE"  verses/hadits/sira (biography of the prophet) according to "THEIR" convenience.  These hypocrites continue keep the moderate Muslims in darkness mainly by two tactics (knowingly or unknowingly):
 1.  By  "NOT MENTIONING" that many of the tolerant/peaceful  "Meccan" verses are abrogated by more violent "Medina Verses".  In Islam, it is called 'nasikh' and 'mansukh. (http://www.sunnipath.com/library/books/B0040P0021.aspx).
2.  Whenever any of this  "jihadi" does any atrocities or killing innocent people, these hypocrites always "STAND UP" and declare:  "IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM".  
This is going on, and on, and on, and on --.  They sang this song again and again and again whenever any Terrorist incidence happens anywhere in this planet; and "we" the moderate dance with their songs. We forget the very fact that "We" can utter this song millions and billions of time and stay in a stage of "DENIAL" and continue blaming "THESE PEOPLE" forever!  It never solves the problem.  If we do not even acknowledge, identify and understand a "PROBLEM" how can we think of solving it?  We are always find reason to "blame others" and in no time label others as "Islam hater" if he/she criticize my "HOLY FAITH".   
When we continue believing that "FAITH IS A VIRTUE", where is the moral ground of prohibiting others to practice "ANY FAITH' one may hold?  If my "faith" is a virtue (according to "my" understanding of my holy scripture/text/ learning etc), why not yours?  Is it because you are not in agreement with that of mine?   Is it not Hypocrisy? 
Professor Richard Dawkins nicely argued in this video how these terrorists get their support from the moderates:

*BLOW UP DADDY!*

Daddy?
Yes, son.
Are we going to have a war with India?
Perhaps.
Oh, goody. We will thrash them, right? Like we did in 1857!
It wasn't in 1857, son.
Oh, okay. But whom did we thrash in 1857?
The British, son…
And the Hindus too, right?
Well…
Did Quaid-i-Azam fight in that war along with Muhammad bin Qasim and Imran Khan?
No, son. The Quaid and Imran were born much later and Muhammad bin Qasim died many years before.
Then who ruled Pakistan in those days?
There was no Pakistan in those days, son.
But there was always a Pakistan! It has been there for 5,000 years!
Who have you been talking to, son?
No one. I've just been watching TV.
It figures.
Daddy, why are all these people against us Arabs?
Arabs? But we aren't Arabs, son.
Of course we are because our ancestors were Arabs!
No, son. Our ancestors were of the subcontinental stock.
Sub-what?
Never mind.You seem to like wars, son.
Yes. I like to watch them on TV.
But real wars are fought outside the TV, son.
Really? How is that possible? What sort of a war is that?
Never mind.
Daddy, you look worried.
Of course, I am, you little warmongering punk!
Daddy! Why are you scolding me?
Because TV is talking rot and so are you!
Daddy, are you supporting Hindus?
No!
Daddy, have you become a kafir?
Keep quiet! No more TV for you! Go watch a movie on DVD or listen to a CD.
Can't do that.
But we have so many DVDs and CDs, son.
Not any more.
What do you mean?
I burned them all.
What?!
I burned them all.
I heard that! But why?
They spread obscenity.
Oh, God. Son, go do your homework. What happened to that science project you were working on?
It's almost complete.
Good boy. What are you making?
A bomb.
What?!
A bomb.
I heard that! But why?
Because I am a true Muslim who hates America.
But only last week you wanted to go to Disney Land.
That's different.
How come?
Mickey Mouse is Muslim.
No, he isn't.
Is so. He converted when he heard azaan on the moon.
On the moon?
Yes. Because the earth is flat and…
What??
The earth is…
I heard that!
Daddy, do you want to see my science project, or not?
Gosh, that bomb? But your science teacher will fail you.
No, she wont.
Really?
Yes. I plan to blow her up as well.
God, what is wrong with you? Go call your mother!
She can't come.
Why not?
I've locked her in the kitchen.
But what for?
A woman's place is in the kitchen. I will not let her out until she covers herself up peoperly!
But she's your mother!
She's also a woman!
So?
So she should be hidden.
Hidden from whom?
The whole world and Tony.
Tony?
Yes, Tony.
But Tony's a cat.
Yes. But he's male.
Son, have you gone mad?
No. By the way, I've made sure Kitto starts covering up as well.
Kitto?
Yes, Kittto.
But Kitto's a cat!
Yes. But a female cat.
But she'll suffocate.
Oh, she's already dead.
What?
She's already dead.
I heard that! But how?
I buried her alive.
You what?
Yes. To avenge Tony's honour.
But now I will behead Tony.
But why?
To save mom's honour!
Oh, God!
Don't say that. Always say Allah.
What's the difference?
Daddy, do you want to be beheaded too?
No!
Do you want to be stoned to death?
No!
Do you want to be flogged?
No!
Do you want to get your arms chopped off?
No!
Then stop asking silly questions. By the way, I won't call you daddy anymore.
What will you call me then?
Whatever that is Arabic for daddy.
I don't know any Arabic, son.
That's because you are a kafir.
Who the heck are you to tell me who I am, you little fascist twit!
What's a fascist?
An irrational, violent, self-righteous mad man!
W... aaaaaaa...
Why are you crying?
You scolded me.
Okay, I'm sorry. You have to be tolerant and rational, son. Now be a good boy and go read a book instead of watching TV.
I have no books.
Of course, you do. I bought you so many books.
I burned them.
What?
I burned them.
But why?
They were all in English.
So?
It's a non-Muslim language!
But we are speaking English, aren't we?
W... aaaaaaa…
What now?
Zionists made me forget my Arabic.
But you never knew any Arabic, son.
W... aaaa… yes, I did until you and mommy gave me the polio drops… aaaaa…
Okay, tell me, can you do me a favour?
Sure, dad.
Can you blow up something for me?
Oh, goody! Of course, dad.
What should I blow? A CD shop, a hotel, a school...?
No, no, something a lot more sinister.
Mom?
No, no…
What then?
The TV set!
What?
Blow the TV set.
I heard that! But why?
Just do it!
I see. Dad?
Yes.
.....'You're so unconstitutional....'!

Re: [mukto-mona] FW: বঙ্গ সম্মেলনে নেই বাংলাদেশ



1. I have in my shelf several books which are/were banned. I don't care what a govt. did with a specific book. I look at the literary value. For this reason I do not have "Lajja" although I got a chance to read it in an hour.
2. It is really surprising that there was no representation from Bangladesh. The year I participated in Toronto Banga Sammelon (8 years ago?), representation of Bangladeshi artistes was O.K.
3. In last Sammelon in Las Vegas, there were some artistes including Rathindra Nath Roy representing Bangladesh. Before beginning his performance Rathin (amar dosta), however, expressed his grievance for not giving him sufficient time.
4. Banga sammelon has now become a business and the focus has shifted. Think about having a sammelon in a hotel surrounded by casinos and so on.
5. Intimacy and cordial relationship between Sunil G. and Humayun A. does not reflect the actual openeness of both the sides. We have a long way to go. We need a lot of cultural exchanges at all levels. We are slowly but surely on our way to reach that goal.

One reason I don't participate in Bangalee Shammelan is because a few years back when I wanted to go to the one in NYC, a special invited guest was Taslima Nasrin. The book that they discussed in there was a banned book of Taslima Nasrin.

First find out why Bangladeshi representation is so low, then blame Indian-Bangalee for the lack of representation. I personally know the founder-organizer of this organization; he tells me that - they try every year to bring representation from Bangladesh, but it never gets materialized due to the lack of interest from the Bangladeshi counterparts. I experienced it first hand when this conference was held in New York many years back.
Also, do you know - how many parallel competing Bangladeshi-Bangalee organizations exist now? When I checked last time, there were at least two organizations, one of them (FOBANA) is holding a Bangalee-conference in August at Atlanta, I believe. So, do not try to use everything for politics.

                 বঙ্গ সম্মেলনে নেই বাংলাদেশ

 
 
সাইফুল্লাহ মাহমুদ দুলাল, কানাডা থেকে

বঙ্গ সম্মেলনে নেই বাংলাদেশ
শ্রেয়া ঘোষালের গানে গানে গত রোববার শেষ হলো জমজমাট বঙ্গ সম্মেলন। পাঁচ-ছয় হাজার দর্শকশ্রোতা মধ্যরাত অবধি এই অনুষ্ঠান উপভোগ করে। দর্শকশ্রোতার ভিড় সামলাতে পুলিশ হিমশিম খেতে হয়। আগামী বছর ৩৪তম সম্মেলন অনুষ্ঠিত হবে মার্কিন যুক্তরাষ্ট্রের ফ্লোরিডায়। 'বাংলার নব জাগরণ' শীর্ষক তিনদিনব্যাপী এ সম্মেলন টরন্টোতে শুরু হয়েছিল গত ৫ জুলাই।
 
 
তবে এবারের বঙ্গ সম্মেলনে বাংলাদেশ নেই, শুধুমাত্র বাংলাদেশি চিত্রশিল্পীদের চিত্র প্রদর্শনী ছাড়া। এর জন্য ভারতীয় বাঙালিদের অনীহা আর উদাসীনতা লক্ষণীয়! তারা দায়সারাভাবে বাংলাদেশকে মূল্যায়ন করে বলে অনেকের অভিযোগ। এবার ভিসার জটিলতার কারণে বাংলাদেশ থেকে ফাতেমা-তুজ-জোহরা এবং বারী সিদ্দিকী অংশ নিতে পারেননি। তবে চিত্রনায়িকা ববিতা এবং শিল্পী তপন চৌধুরী কানাডায় অবস্থান করছেন। শিল্পী হিসেবে কর্তৃপক্ষ তাদের আমন্ত্রণ করতে পারতেন।
 
 
 
 
 
এ সব কারণে প্রবাসী বাংলাদেশিরা ক্ষুব্ধ। অথচ বঙ্গ সম্মেলনটি হচ্ছে ভারতের পশ্চিমবঙ্গের বাংলা ভাষাভাষীদের নিয়ে; যা কিনা সমগ্র ভারতের পঞ্চাশটির অধিক আঞ্চলিক ভাষার একটি ভাষা বলে পরিচিত। কিন্তু স্বাধীন সার্বভৌম বাংলা ভাষাভাষীর ভূখণ্ড হিসেবে পৃথিবীর বুকে একমাত্র বাংলাদেশই স্বীকৃত। সেখানে বাংলাদেশের কোনো উল্লেখযোগ্য শিল্পী-সাহিত্যিক এবং সাংস্কৃতিককর্মী কাউকেই এই সম্মেলনে অংশগ্রহণ করার তেমন কোনো সুযোগ তারা দেন না। বিগত সম্মেলনগুলোতেও তা লক্ষ করা গেছে। তাই সাংকৃতিককর্মী আঞ্জুমান রোজী বলেন, 'বাংলাদেশের বাংলা সংস্কৃতির প্রতি এই উন্নাসিকতার তীব্র প্রতিবাদ জানাই। একটি কথা তাদের ভুলে গেলে চলবে না যে, বাংলা ভাষার মূল তীর্থস্থান বাংলাদেশ।'

For God-fearing religions, along with their prophets and scriptures, the natural course is to become obsolete and impotent. For the excessively brainwashed groups, that natural course would be woefully slow, and they will remain backward for longer. For more rational groups, that course would be faster, and they will continue to advance faster. We have been already witnessing this phenomenon. While the religious idiots remain in their little cocoons of pleasing God and dreaming about heaven, the rational minds are the ones that are making the world a better place to live in and enjoy, for all people, including the religious fools and hate-mongers. Just ask the average Bangladeshi Muslim fanatic, where would he prefer to immigrate to, an Islamic haven or a country that has a sizeable atheist/agnostic population? (Atheists and Agnostics: USA 16%,  Canada 16%, UK 23%, Germany 28%, Australia 19%; Source: CIA World Factbook)

"The basic difference is what changed, people or religion? I am saying, people."
Interesting thought! If people are failing to see what is happening around them and how the big questions are being answered by ever curious humans, they as a group will stay behind in every field except in begetting. A God or a religious book would not be any consolation to a hungry individual or group. Change will come one way or another way with religious books becoming obsolete and impotent.

First, I have corrected a little typo in my earlier comments.
 
I think the difference between my statements and Dr. Roy's statements are mostly in semantics. The basic difference is what changed, people or religion? I am saying, people. I think Christians, Jews and Hindus are more advanced because they do not follow (or feel inadequate for not following) a lot of the aspects of their religions.
 
Again, talking about the caste system, no seriously Hindu religious organization is advocating expunging it from the Geeta, nor are they talking about establishing institutes for giving equal opportunity to all Hindus for attaining Guna and Karma (virtue and deed) and for giving out certificates for who would be in what caste, based upon Guna and Karma. But, of course, people are changing, and now you see, for example, a lot of the so-called inter-caste marriages among the better educated Hindus. That means, Hindus are changing; I call it "people changing", not "religion changing."

S. Bain:"Actually, none of the stupidity and hatred has been 'expunged' from any religion."

Not a correct statement!

Have you seen or heard original texts of the Bible and the Jewish literature (Joshua and Torah)? I heard part of it on the radio. They are just as violent as some of the verses in the Quran. But, good thing is - Christians and Jews have recognized them as unacceptable and purged those violent texts from the the modern versions, meaning they are not trying to preserve those violent texts as God's words. This is different from Quran; it remained intact. That's what I meant.

Some orthodox Jewish people used to sacrifice young children to God; some Hindus used to perform human sacrifice in front of deities also. Haven't they given up those religious practices? Even though caste system is not yet eliminated completely, it's not as severe as it once was. You can't change peoples' mentality overnight; it will take time. Important thing is to recognize the wrong and to work for corrective actions.

Actually, none of the stupidity and hatred has been 'expunged' from any religion. For example, the caste system has not been 'expunged' from Hinduism; modern Hindus are gradually ignoring and abandoning it. More appropriately speaking, people of most religious backgrounds have been progressively ignoring and trashing the wrongs in their inherited religions.
 
Muslims are quite behind in that respect, and too many of them are actually proud of that. These sorry people think that their seventh century religion is perfect, and can be a 'complete code of life'. To them, there is nothing wrong with Islam, misinterpretations of it and taking it out of context are the problems. Even most of the moderates of that group are too brainwashed to look at their religion with a free mind.
 
Having said the above, I still would not be interested in criticizing Islam or its prophet. When an act of hatred is committed, I would seek correction and punishment for the criminal, as opposed to talking about which religious book might have instigated that crime. Blaming the religious book might even be interpreted as being soft on the criminal, and as absolving the criminal of his/her responsibility.
 
I think, if the civilized world stopped selective praises for religions, and was serious about punishing/correcting criminals, the world would be a much better place for all humans, including Muslims, to live in.

.................I say - there are many wrong instructions in all scriptures. Many of those wrong instructions have been expunged from all other religions, but Islam.

When a religious scripture instructs soldiers to kill infidel civilian, especially young men, and take all women as the war booty after conquering a region – that's a wrong instruction,I would say, no matter who gave it. No context or explanation is needed to find this out.

Many Muslim soldiers still believe in this instruction, and they try to implement it in the warfare, even in a war between two Muslim regions. We have seen such implementation in Bangladesh, and also in Afghanistan, when Taliban forces raided the area under the control of the Northern Alliance; Taliban initiated a mass rape there.  The conquerors usually legitimize the scriptural instruction by declaring captured civilians as against Islam or infidels. This practice is mostly seen in the Muslim army.

"Muhammd won in the short run, but in the long run the Umayyads slaughtered his descendants---"
 >>> You are absolutely right!
Fatima died about 6months after the death of her father. He had lot of mental sufferings after  Muhammd's death,  inflicted by fellow Muslims. Within 10 days of the death of Muhammad, 'Fadak' was confiscated by 1st Caliph Abu Bakar from Fatima /Ali.  Though Mohammad himself gifted it to his daughter. Muhammad owned it as "BOOTY" from the Jews of Khayber.  Abu Bakr even did not give her chance to dry her "tears" after her father's death!
Ali did not get power till 656 CE, a long 24 yrs after the death of Muhammad!   As soon as he got in power, the 1st civil war (Fitna) between Muslims started. He had the 1st war with Ayesha (mother in law).   During his reign (656-661) he had the following wars:
  1. Battle of the Camel (between Ali and Ayesha)  - December, 656 CE
  2. Battle of Siffin  (between Ali and Muwabiya Ibne Abu Sufyan) – July, 657 C ( Kharijites break away from Ali)
  3.  Battle of Nahrawan (Kharijites defeated by Ali)  - 658 C
  4. Conquest of Egypt – 659 CE 
Ali was brutally murdered (by a poisonous dragger) by one of the Kharijii on Januarry 661 CE.  His elder son Hasan was brutally murdered by poison (conspiracy of Muawiya Ibne Abu Sufian) in 670 CE. His 2nd son Hussian Ibne Ali was brutally murdred by soldiers of Yazid bin Muawiya bin Abu Sufian in the battle of Karbala on October 680 CE.  
 Within 48 years of death of Prophet Muhammad, all of his able adult male immediate family members were brutally killed by fellow Muslims.

No in depth analysis is required to understand the events of the prophet hood of Muhammad.  Prior to the claim of meeting the archangel Gabriel, Muhammad was trained by a Nestorian Monk named Sergius/Bahira on religious stories.  After such claim, in course of over ten years, he got the loyalty of not more than seventy followers from a community of over five thousand.  Even that loyalty was bought out with wealth from different sources, e.g., those of Khadija and Uthman among others.  The verses revealed in Mecca were futile effort to earn recognition.  Then he migrated to Medina where he successfully used the Christians against the Jews, looted the caravans and Jewish enclaves, and collected enough wealth to hire mercenaries for his Mecca expedition.  After 'conquering' his dreamland Mecca, he was not sure of security to live in that place and preferred to live in Medina.  Ultimately he probably got killed by his wives, Ayesha and Hafsa, as the Shiite believe. 

Islam was the result of a tribal feud between the Umayyad and the Hashemite community.  Muhammd won in the short run, but in the long run the Umayyads slaughtered his descendants.  Not even his beloved daughter, Fatima, was spared.  A few months after the death of Muhammad, Fatima was burnt down with the house she lived in by the thugs who were close associates of the Prophet.
