শহরের সবচেয়ে ধর্মান্ধ পুরুষটাও একদিন প্রেমের মহাত্তত্ব বুঝে নিয়ে প্রেমিক পুরুষ হবে। প্রেম-মহার্ণবে স্নান সেরে নিজেই রাধার গলায় জড়িয়ে দিবে শতাব্দির অন্যতম প্রেমমাল্য। পরমাত্মার স্তুতি ছেড়ে কঙ্কাবতীর জন্য লিখে যাবে অবিস্মরনীয় মহাকাব্য।
এই ধর্মান্ধ পুরুষ একদিন শহরের প্রধান সড়কে রজনীগন্ধা-কৃষ্ণ চূড়া আর তোমার যতো প্রিয় ফুলের বরণ ডালা হাতে সকাল-সন্ধ্যা দাড়িয়ে থাকবে তুমি-আমি প্রেমিক যুগলের মত সহস্র যুগলকে উষ্ণ অভ্যর্তনায় বরণ করে নিবে বলে।
স্মিত হাস্যে তোমার আমার মুখে ছুঁড়ে দিবে ফুল-চন্দন!
তুমি ভয় পেয়ো না প্রিয়তমা।
তুমি ভয় পেয়ো না প্রিয়তমা,
একদিন আশ্বিণী শুক্লা নবমীতে
সমস্ত দেব-দেবীরে আমৃত্যু প্রত্যাখ্যানের ঘোষণা মাইকে দিয়ে সেই সাজাবে অনিন্দ্য প্রেমমন্ডপ। একদিন দেব মন্দির ছেড়ে সেই হয়ে উঠবে প্রেমতীর্থস্থানের মহান্বয় মহান্ত।
তুমি ভয় পেয়ো না প্রিয়তমা…
একদিন চড়ুই-দোয়েল-শালিক কুমড়োর ডগা আর দাঁড়কাক আর হেলেঞ্চার গাঢ় সবুজের সাথে নিশ্চিত হবে তার অপরিমেয় উদার বন্ধুত্ব।
তুমি ভয় পেয়ো না প্রিয়তমা,
তুমি যে নিষিদ্ধ প্রেম কাব্য লিখো
সেই হবে তার একমাত্র প্রকাশক।
পৃথিবীর সমস্ত প্রেমিক যুগলের স্বপ্ননীড়ের
সেই হবে একমাত্র বাড়ুই।
তুমি ভয় পেয়ো না ;
একদিন সেই হবে পৃথিবীর একমাত্র সাম্যবাদী পুরুষ
পতিতালয়ের বিপরীতে সেই খুলে দিবে প্রাচ্যের প্রথম
পতিত আলয়।
তুমি ভয় পেয়ো না প্রিয়তমা আমার
একদিন নিদ্রাহীন নিশিতে রাজ্যের সমস্ত প্রেমিক-প্রেমিকের
সেই ই হবে অনন্য গল্প-কথক।
তুমি স্বপ্ন রেখো প্রিয়তমা চোখের মণিতে, ভোর হবে নিশ্চিত।
আঁধারে আবৃত থাকে না সারা বছর পৃথিবীর কোনো অঞ্চল।

**************************************************** Mukto Mona plans for a Grand Darwin Day Celebration: Call For Articles:
Well, Mr. Mushrafi, I am not sure if you realized that you also agreed with me when you wrote that killing innocent children in their homes is wrong. Again, please read my article if you have not done that already:
http://mukto-mona.com/wordpress/?p=3074
I have written that the acts of Hamas and Israel are "tit-for-tat acts of terrorism", and that "Reading the news of innocent people, including minor children, being killed by powerful Israeli bombs, it is hard to not call Israel a terrorist state."
Again, I ask all religious people to read their religious books with open and honest minds.

So Mr. Bain from your atheist view point
you are quite correct. I have no right to hate anybody.
But killing innocent children in their homes are not a
right of killers. Supporting that is wrong.
Mohammad Mushrafi: "In other words hate is the opposite of Godliness."
Response by S. Bain: What is "Godliness"? God and
Godliness are inventions by men. These inventions continue
to be used as the most fraudulent tools of hatred. "God
hates non-believers", is certainly a message that can
be found in some religious books. If you do not know this,
you do not have to look very far, read the Koran.
Mohammad Mushrafi: "The great human Nelson Mandela
said, No one born with feeling of hate, persons learn it
from surroundings. Only de-learning through education can
improve the situation."
Response by S. Bain: Indeed, humans need to de-learn a lot
of stupidity and hatred that they have learned from their
surroundings. The concept of "God", especially the
one that hates and needs humans to promote/protect his
religion through breeding irresponsibly, through hatred,
trough fighting, through brutalizing other people, certainly
needs to be de-learned for justice and peace on Earth.
Well, I have no more time now. But you can read my original
article. May be I will comment on your comments later.
Sorry, I did not correct any of your grammar/English
mistakes for now. I might do some of it later.
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".

Latest Gallup poll shows young Americans overwhelmingly support Palestine
Sunday, 03 August 2014 14:03
Protestors at Washington DC
IMAGES
Large demonstrations against Israel's assault on Palestinians in Gaza were staged across the US on Saturday. The public outpouring of support for Palestinians in US streets suggests that Washington's pro-Israel policies are becoming increasingly unpopular, a trend supported by a recent poll on Israel's latest aggression, which finds that young Americans are twice as likely to support Palestinian rights than Israeli occupation.
Tens of thousands of Americans held a demonstration in front of the White House in Washington, DC. Protestors travelled in buses from around the country to join the national rally, waving Palestinian flags and chanting "free Palestine" in the US capital.
On the other side of the country, thousands of Americans staged a protest in Austin, Texas while a plane flew in the skies with the message "save Gaza free Palestine".
And hundreds of people also joined a march in Los Angeles, California the same day, closing down one of the city's busiest boulevards to demand an end to Israel's war crimes.
In recent years, the solidarity movement in the US has been revitalised by student activists. While a 22-23 July Gallup poll found that a slight majority of Americans believe that Israel's latest assault on Gaza is justified, a pro-Israel bias that also dominated during the second intifada, amongst those under the age of 30, more than twice as many Americans say that Israel's aggression in Gaza is unjustified (51 per cent) than those who say it is justified (25 per cent). The same holds true for people of colour (49 per cent versus 25 per cent).
Both the popular demonstrations and the poll results seem to indicate that support for Israel is growing weaker amongst the next generation of American leaders.

Democracy is rather a catchy word for many BNP/Jamatis to grab the power and move on. These people are no more democratic than Boko-Haramis of Nigeria.
We know exactly how Zia established democracy in Bangladesh with his grand political murders, bullets and bayonet. Any example where a military dictator paved the path for democracy? Zia simply followed the other dictators to consolidate his power and go for a sham election with 100% approval votes. Sounds familiar?
I am proud to say that Mujib was the first democrat to start a first democratic system in a Muslim dominated country while other Muslim countries had no idea what democracy really meant for their citizens. Even secular Turkey was oscillating between military dictatorships and civil rules in seventies. Forming a national unity government was not a crime because the man had full mandate from his people. So cursing BAKSL for not being a proper democratic system is rather silly. Nobody was ready for a Jeffersonian type of democracy when 10% people could hardly read or write. If Mujib had a perfect English parliamentary system, he would been killed by Zia and his friends anyway. Make no mistake about that scenario. Democracy is not BNP/Jamat's real problem, they want a Boko-Haram country. And. that is a problem for the whole world and that is why US would not go along with these thugs.
তোমার মুখ পোঁচে গেছে, ডাক্তার । ভীষণ দুর্গন্ধ ছড়াচ্ছে , বাংলাদেশের বাতাস দূষিত করে ফেলেছ, তুমি, বন্ধু।
তাড়াতাড়ি ডাক্তার দেখাও।

আচ্ছা বন্ধুত্বের মূল্য কতোখানি? আপনি বন্ধুর জন্য কতোটা ত্যাগ করতে পারবেন?
বন্ধুত্বের সবচেয়ে বড় নিদর্শন রেখেছে শেখ মুজিব নিজে!যে ভুট্টো তাকে মুক্তিযুদ্ধ চলাকালীন সময়ে আরামে পশ্চিম পাকিস্তানে থাকা খাবার ব্যাবস্থা করে দিয়েছিলো , তার পরিবারের জন্য ভাতার ব্যবস্থা করে দিয়েছিলো সেই বন্ধুর প্রতি কি মুজিব অকৃতজ্ঞ হতে পারে?
না! কখনোই পারে না!
তাইতো বন্ধুত্বের প্রতিদান দিতে সে ছুটে গিয়েছিলো পাকিস্তান ।জড়িয়ে ধরেছিল ভুট্টো কে ।হাত মিলিয়েছিলো টিক্কা খানের সাথে!
তখনো বাংলার মাটি থেকে ৩০ লাখ শহীদের রক্তের দাগ মুছে যায়নি ।তখনো বাংলার ধর্ষিতা মা-বোন এর শরীরের ক্ষতের দাগ মুছে যায়নি ।তখনো মুক্তিযোদ্ধার মন থেকে মুছে যায়নি বন্ধু-ভাই-সহযোদ্ধা হারানোর স্মৃতি! মুজিব পারলেন! তিনি বউকে জড়িয়ে নিলেন ভুট্টোকে!
হায় বন্ধুত্ব!
মুজিব বেঈমানী করলেন বাংলার মানুষের সাথে!২ লাখ ধর্ষিতাকে আবার ধর্ষিত করলেন।
The Daily Sun is the newspaper founded by the grown up Mujibbadis to make people believe in their prejudices in print form. Several times, some articles in its online version were forwarded to me containing wrong historical references and facts. .When challenged them about the wrong contents, they stopped sending it. My understanding is that the newspaper is owned,controlled and contributed by some made in Russia and Indian trained (cow) PhDs and their followers are contributing goru raschnas (cow essays) to promote Mujibbadi fascism to their likes.
Hindu fundamentalist terrorists from India joined Gopali Police to kill Hefazatis as well as burned Holy Quran at the Shapla Chottor area during Shapla massacre. Fascist anti-Hefazat Hasina personally supervised that massacre.This truth will be revealed in coming days.
ACHR works closely with the extra-right wing activist Adilur Rahman Khan's Odhikar who shot into limelight when Odhikar published a completely fabricated and vicious report on the mayhem created by the Hefazat-e-Islam on May 5 of 2013 claiming that sixty-one of Hefazat goons were killed by the law enforcing agencies on that night when they went to reclaim Mothijheel, the central business district of the Capital Dhaka that was being systematically ravaged by these goons. Though later investigation found that not a single person was killed on that night. Odhikar published the report just to malign the country and the government to the international community. Rahman was subsequently arrested on August 11 for publishing the false and fabricated report. He was later released on bail and later indicted by the Dhaka Cyber Crimes Tribunal and if found guilty may find him behind bars for up to fourteen years. Besides Odhikar many self-styled civil society members of the country maintains a close relationship with ACHR of whom few also regularly features in the night-time TV talk shows. - See more at: http://www.daily-sun.com/details_Relentless-Conspiracy-against-Bangladesh_934_2_5_1_0.html#sthash.TYapDT4m.dpuf

[Can we persuade Bangladesh Gov. to cancel their thoughtless plan to build a nuclear energy plant at Rooppur and from believing the lie that Russia will carry away the toxic waste?]
What's more, no one has come up with a viable scheme to take care of the immense amounts of radioactive toxic waste produced by fission reactors, and there's certainly no scheme that would do so for the millennia required to keep such material out of harm's way.
Chairman of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission Lewis Strauss noted in a 1954 speech to the National Association of Science Writers that the splitting of the atom and the dawn of the Atomic Age heralded, in his view, a coming era of electrical power that for consumers would be "too cheap to meter." Soon, he said, "it would not be too much to expect that our children"—meaning, of course, us—would know of things like famine, limited range of travel and nearly every other human malady only from reading about them in history books. Born on a great tide of technological progress released by the atom, he intoned, mankind would collectively face a new age of prosperity the likes of which the world had never known before. At the time it was widely assumed that Strauss—a pivotal figure in America's early years of nuclear experimentation and tinkering—was talking about fission power, as he had just days earlier spoken of industry having at its command vast amounts of "electrical power from atomic furnaces," at the groundbreaking of the Shippingport Atomic Power Station, the world's first full-scale, civilian nuclear power reactor, located outside of Pittsburgh. In fact, Strauss was actually talking about fusion power, which, at the time, was a top secret, Cold War concern of the American government. However, the supposition of the country's technocratic elite was that just as fission research had led to both the atomic bomb and plants like the one at Shippingport, fusion breakthroughs would soon lead to controlled fusion reactions and reactors that would herald the coming age of plenty that Strauss predicted. From too-cheap-to-meter marvels to state-supported dinosaurs History didn't turn out as Strauss had envisioned, of course, as a controlled fusion reaction—as opposed to the uncontrolled variety which scientists easily pulled off and turned into ever more powerful nuclear weapons—proved devilishly difficult to produce. Controlled fusion was orders of magnitude more difficult to achieve, as it meant capturing the process that fueled the sun and placing it at the center of an apparatus that could both contain and sustain the reaction while drawing enough energy from it to provide all that electricity Strauss said would be too plentiful to even bother billing people for using. While we are much closer today to the dream of fusion power than we were in 1954, it is still some ways off, and in the meantime, the type of plant represented by the Shippingport Power Station—dirty, dangerous and relatively inefficient fission-based reactors—became the standard-bearer for nuclear energy. Thus, a stopgap technology meant to be merely the first section of a fusion-based bridge to the future that we were never supposed to come to rest upon became what humanity adopted and got stuck with. Instead of being too cheap to measure, the technology known as nuclear power today is a lumbering giant utterly dependent on state-based largesse for its existence. To see why, one has to only look at how fission-based reactor plants were adopted since 1954. In the West, reactors became the preserve of heavy industry that worked hand-in-glove with the state to ensure that reactors got built, and while the safety record of the West's reactors is rather remarkable, it came at huge cost. Put simply: The inherent danger represented by fission reactors—as seen at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and now Fukushima—represents a potential cost so high that the state became the only entity large enough to bear it. Because of this danger, Western plants—from America's privately-built and -operated reactors, to France's gleaming fleet of power stations—are all required to be too big to fail, and rightly so. After all, if a major accident were to occur, the damage inflicted would be incalculable. But being required to be too big to fail often means fission reactors are too expensive to build privately and, thus, require state intervention to succeed. In the U.S., this intervention comes in the form of massive subsidies, both direct and indirect, which lower the cost for corporate actors at every end of the business—from the mining of uranium, to the storage of radioactive waste. Indeed, nuclear subsidies in the U.S. are so huge that their value is often greater than any actual energy produced. To drive home the point of just how coddled the nuclear power industry is in America, consider the Price–Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act of 1957—since renewed several times. It established a no-fault insurance-type system for the industry, in which the industrial player responsible for an accident is liable for the first $12.6 billion in damages. Past the $12.6 billion mark, the federal government would effectively be responsible for covering losses incurred by the public. As should be obvious, this is a laughably small amount and it means that if a major accident would ever occur in the U.S., Uncle Sam—not the local power company—will be responsible for covering your now-glowing losses. Meanwhile, in France—the Western country that has had perhaps the best experience with fission-based nuclear power—a state-controlled company runs the country's nuclear power plants and a state-coddled national champion builds them. As a result, even more in France than in the U.S., the economic cost of nuclear power is borne by the taxpayer. While France has as a result managed to create a very large, very safe nuclear power industry that exports large amounts of electricity to neighboring European countries, it is not a private one by any stretch of the imagination. It is the French state—not the market—that is behind the success of France's nuclear energy industry. What's more, no one has come up with a viable scheme to take care of the immense amounts of radioactive toxic waste produced by fission reactors, and there's certainly no scheme that would do so for the millennia required to keep such material out of harm's way. Current plans bandied about in both Europe and the U.S. envision entombing the waste deep underground for over 10,000 years, but so far, few communities have proven willing to host the giant waste repositories anywhere near them. This has led to the stalling of U.S. plans for long-term storage, while development of similar plans in Europe are behind schedule, over budget and proceeding piecemeal, at best. Regardless of what is eventually done with the waste, it is guaranteed to be something that taxpayers will ultimately be on the hook for in one way or another for decades—if not centuries—to come. Fission's extinction is on the horizon Thus coddled, it should come as no surprise that nuclear power became limited in scale and scope as the 20th century wore on. Indeed, nuclear energy's share of civilian electricity production has remained relatively stagnant for years, and outside of China—another centrally-planned system of government support that those running French and American reactors might find familiar and comforting—signs of a so-called nuclear renaissance once touted by industry supporters has shown little sign of actually appearing. Indeed, commercial fission-reactor power plants in the U.S.—just like coal—are being driven to extinction by competition from gas, wind and now solar power.
