Amid a paucity of competent teachers for recruitment as headmasters in nearly 5,000 non-government secondary and junior secondary schools across the country, the education ministry has relaxed the existing rules for their recruitment.
   ‘Nearly 5,000 schools, out of the 17,905 are functioning without headmasters for months and this is seriously hampering academic and other activities. The rules for recruiting headmasters and assistant headmasters have been relaxed a bit to meet up the crisis,’ education minister Nurul Islam Nahid told New Age on Tuesday.
   ‘From now on, a teacher having 12 years experience without any break can be recruited as headmaster of a secondary school [class VI to X]. But the existing rules issued by the ministry on October 24, 1995, require 15 years service as assistant teacher including three years as assistant headmasters for becoming eligible for appointment as headmaster,’ said the circular issued on Tuesday.
   ‘For the assistant headmasters of secondary schools, only 10 years service without break has been made mandatory instead of existing 12 years,’ said the circular signed by the education secretary, Syed Ataur Rahman.
   Instead of existing 12 years, a teacher having ten years of experience without break can be recruited as a headmaster at a junior-secondary school [Class Vi to VIII], it said.
   ‘The ministry has come to know that due to paucity of experienced teachers, a huge number of posts of headmaster and assistant headmaster remained vacant for months. The ministry has decided to relax the rules,’ said the circular which has been sent to all offices and schools concerned.
   Meanwhile, leaders of the association of non-government educational institutions welcomed the government decision and called for relaxing the recruitment of principals in non-government colleges.
   ‘There are many colleges which have also been running without principals for months. It is urgently required to issue a similar directive so that the colleges get similar benefits,’ said Mohammad Mazharul Hannan, president of the Bangladesh Principals’ Council.

The parliamentary standing committee on education on Tuesday recommended that the singing of the national anthem should be made mandatory in all madrassahs
   ‘We have decided all the educational institutions, including madrassahs, should sing the national anthem. The salary will, otherwise, will be stopped. More than one committee members have came to know that there are some madrassahs where the national anthem is not sung,’ the committee chairman, Rashed Khan Menon, told New Age after the meeting held at Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban.
   ‘The portrait of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the father of the nation, will also need to be hung in all educational institutions,’ he said.

[mukto-mona] Only in Gujarat: cheques for riot victims go to riot accused; probe ordered

"The Ahmedabad district administration, instead of issuing compensation cheques to the victims, issued as many as 21 cheques worth Rs. 20 lakh to one Prabhashankar Pandit, an accused involved in the loot and killing of Muslims in this locality. Pandit is out on bail" Only in Gujarat: cheques for riot victims go to riot accused; probe ordered Submitted by mumtaz on 2 June 2009 - 8:24pm. http://www.twocircles.net/2009jun02/only_gujarat_cheques_riot_victims_go_riot_accused_probe_ordered.html By TwoCircles.net Staff Correspondent Ahmedabad: A scam in the distribution of compensation to the riot victims of 2002 in the worst hit Naroda Patia has come to light. A senior official of the Ahmedabad district administration P R Patel has been asked to look into the scam. The Ahmedabad district administration, instead of issuing compensation cheques to the victims, issued as many as 21 cheques worth Rs. 20 lakh to one Prabhashankar Pandit, an accused involved in the loot and killing of Muslims in this locality. Pandit is out on bail. Prabhashankar claimed over Rs. 15 lakh as compensation from the state government. The latest cheques issued in his name are from the union government's compensation package announced for the Gujarat riot victims of 2002 on the pattern of Sikh victims of 1984. The Muslim dominated Naroda Patia, on the outskirts of Ahmedabad city, had several clusters with Muslim population. One of the clusters was known as Pandit-ni-Chali where 28 Muslim families lived. When the riots broke out, Muslims left the place to save their lives, leaving behind their home and hearth. Their houses were looted and damaged by the miscreants. When they were still taking shelter in Shah Alam Dargah and were not able to return due to security reasons, the administration began survey of the damaged property. In connivance with the local talati (land revenue official) and the government surveyor, Prabhashankar's father Shivshankar Pandit forged the documents showing that he was the owner of all the 28 houses in Pandit-ni-Chali. This helped Shivshankar to get compensation from the state government amounting to Rs. 15 lakh approximately. According to locals, the Pandit-ni-Chali houses were constructed on a piece of land belonging to Dhanush Dhari Mata Trust with Hukumsih Bhagwansinh as its trustee. However, Shivshankar was mentioned as a caretaker in the records. "But after the death of Hukumsinh, Shivshankar declared himself as owner of the land'', says Nazir Pathan, a riot victim and a school teacher. According to him, the ownership of the land should either go to the government or to the Muslim occupying the houses and not to the Shivshankar. However, the state government officials did not give any attention to these things and paid compensation to Shivshankar after the riots though Shivshankar was not the victims. When the security situation improved, Muslims returned and occupied their houses after repairing them. But no one could question Shivshankar about the compensation he illegally claimed for their houses because of an undercurrent of communal tension. Meanwhile Shivshankar died. However, the Muslim victims raised their voice when the Ahmedabad district administration handed over as many as 21 cheques of compensation to Shivshanker's son Prabhashankar after the Gujarat High Court issued an order to expedite the compensation payment to the riot victims recently. The victims are now demanding that the administration must take the cheques back from Prabhashankar. On June 1, victims led by Jan Sangharsh Manch (JSM) representative Shamshad Pathan complained to the district officials. City Mamlatdar Mamta Sojitra, in-charge of compensation distribution in Ahmedabad city, told Pathan and victims that the compensation was given to Prabhashankar because the talati and surveyor report mentioned Prabhashankar's father as owner of the houses. However, district collector Hareet Shukla has asked additional collector P R Patel to inquire into the matter. Pathan said that his organization would move the court in case justice was not done by the district officials.

[mukto-mona] Dhaka’s lifeline is losing its life [1 Attachment]

[Attachment(s) from Ripan Biswas included below]

Dear Editor,   Hope you are doing well and thanks for publishing my previous write ups.   This is an article titled "Dhaka's lifeline is losing its life". I will be highly honoured if you publish this article. I apprecite your time to read this article.   Thanks   Have a nice time   With Best Regards   Ripan Kumar Biswas New York, U.S.A ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Dhaka's lifeline is losing its life   Ripan Kumar Biswas Ripan.Biswas@yahoo.com   Is it possible to consider New York City without Hudson River that inspires changes in American history and culture, or London without Thames where the Romans settled over 2 millennia ago to create one of the most ancient societies in the history, or Paris without Seine as it has been an historic means of transportation and protection for the city of Paris as well as an inspiration for poets, writers, and painters for hundreds of years?   Is it possible to recall the glorious history of Muslin fabric, jute fibers or the historic land marks such as Ahsan Manzil, Borokatra, ChotoKatra, Ruplal House, Lalbagh kella, or North Brook Hall of Dhaka city without the river Buriganga as Dhaka was founded about 400 years ago by the side of this river?   Although the history of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, dates back to roughly 7th century, but the city didn't become prominent until 17th century. When it flourished as a provincial capital of the Mughal Empire in 1610 A.D., Dhaka became a major key trade port and attracted merchants and travelers from far and near through ages from England, Holland, France, and other parts of the world. Dhaka with passage of time testifies different faces of history. The whole city grew up on the bank of the river Buriganga.   But the heavily polluted from human sewage and industrial waste, the black and foul smelling waters of the once beautiful river are now an environmental disaster.   Hundreds of years ago, the banks of the Buriganga were a prime location and the lifeline of Dhaka. The house-turned-museum of the Nawab (ruler) overlooks the river, which is the country's main waterway for trading and ferry travel. It was once the main source of drinking water for Dhaka's residents. The Buriganga and her mother river Dhaleswari connect Dhaka to the other rivers and through them with almost all the districts of Bangladesh. Sadarghat, a large quay on the river Buriganga, is the gateway to the capital city from the southern districts of the country.   The Buriganga is of great economic importance to Dhaka as well as Bangladesh. Historically, it has been always a hub for commercial activities. It has always been busy, vibrant, and full of life.   The river is an important resource for people who depend on it, as well as a valuable asset for all humanity. But the level of environmental degradation it has been subjected to in recent years is astonishing. Much of Buriganga is now biologically dead. Because of rampant dumping of industrial and human waste, the river has become so polluted that the water has turned pitch black and has a glue-like consistency. Unfortunately, the river has become Dhaka's main outlet of sewage waste. It is threatened by pollution and possession.   According to World Bank study, four major rivers near Dhaka—the Buriganga, Shitalakhya, Turag and Balu—receive 1.5 million cubic metres of waste water every day from 7,000 industrial units in surrounding areas and another 0.5 million cubic metres from other sources. More than 60,000 cubic metres of toxic waste (textile dying, printing, washing and pharmaceuticals) enter the Dhaka canals and river system every day. Nearly four million people directly suffer the consequence of its poor water quality. Industrial waste accounts for 60 percent of the total river pollution followed by municipal waste and improper handling of other pollutants.   The river is the city's most important natural asset/resource. The universal appeal of water for people makes the river a valuable economic development asset. The river is a tourism destination with related spin-off expenditures in the local economy. A clean river with accessible open space and recreation resources is a magnet for reinvestment such as housing, shopping, entertainment, etc. Property/real estate values along the river are higher than in other parts of the city. The river is a primary link in the regional green infrastructure network of interconnected open spaces.   An ecologically healthy river is more visually appealing and usable for recreation. It is a habitat corridor. The river is a visual, historic, cultural, and recreational amenity. Civic spaces on the riverfront can be a focus of community activity and pride such as recreational activities and special events programming. The river is a linear recreational corridor for walking, cycling, boating. Relaxing on the riverbank people can easily forget the bustle and anxieties of city life for a while.   Bangladesh has around 700 rivers including tributaries and a clear majority of the 150 million people depend on rivers for safe water, transportation, and fishing. The outflow of water from Bangladesh is the third highest in the world, next only to those of the Amazon and the Congo systems. While the rivers of Bangladesh mark both the physiography of the nation and the life of the people, the government's inaction to save and maintain rivers is as incomprehensible as it is painful.   The rivers in Bangladesh are basically being polluted by the discharge of untreated industrial effluent and urban wastewater, agrochemicals, sewage water, storm runoff, solid waste dumping, oil spillage, sedimentation and encroachment. The water quality also depends on effluent types and discharge quantity from different types of industries, types of agrochemicals used in agriculture, and seasonal water flow and dilution capability by the river system. The river Buriganga is a typical example of serious surface water pollution in the country. Moreover, illegal structures have sprung up along its banks, narrowing the river and adding to the dirt, while ferries spill oil into its waters.   As rivers of Bangladesh have nurtured this region, with its ancient civilizations and enduring culture, organizer of celebration of 400 years of Dhaka has reasonably chosen the theme "Buriganga is the heart of Dhaka; we will save it." Dhaka's turning into 400 as a capital is a matter of pride for the new generation and Buriganga is the glory for flourishing Dhaka as the capital and business centre.   Giving importance as the rivers are the lifelines of the country's economy, agriculture, and livelihoods, a national English daily newspaper and a satellite TV channel in Dhaka on Monday, June 1, 2009, came forward with the theme "To the Prime Minister: Save rivers, save Dhaka" to make everyone understand that any delay or negligence to save them would have disastrous consequences like shortage of both drinking and farm water and subsidence of soil in the city.   Lawmakers irrespective of parties including speaker, ministers of concern ministries, business leaders, media personalities, and thousands of well wishers who were present at that programme, made strong commitments to take every measure necessary to stop illegal grabbing and pollution of the rivers flowing through the country including those around the capital.   As no proper steps have yet been taken for saving this dying river, its now time to make those commitments into reality before it's too late.   Wednesday, June 03, 2009, New York Ripan Kumar Biswas is a freelance writer based in New York

[ALOCHONA] INTERESTING READ - BBC - Chinese Woo Business in Bangladesh

 

Chinese woo business in Bangladesh

BBC News

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/8073642.stm

 

China is seeking to boost ties abroad through trade and investment, particularly in Asia. But as Duncan Bartlett found on a recent visit to Bangladesh, not all Chinese businesspeople are versed in the finer points of diplomacy.

 

Li Li Lang's verdict on the Bangladeshis is harsh. "They are slow, lazy and dull in the head," she told me as she served up a plate of noodles at her restaurant in Dhaka.

 

"Too much rice. It makes them sleepy," she complained while directing a severe look at her Bangladeshi waiter.

 

Li Li was born in Hong Kong but moved to Bangladesh 26 years ago, after marrying her Bengali husband, by whom she has two daughters.

 

Until recently she was a beautician, and at the age of 52 remains proud of her slim figure and stylish make-up.

 

She switched to catering after winning praise for her skill with sauces and a wok. Her words may have been rather bitter but her cooking was delicious.

 

"It takes three Bangladeshis to do the work of one Chinese," she proclaimed, at which point the poor waiter hurriedly jumped to his feet to refill my water glass.

 

Despite her apparent frustration with her adopted land, Li Li Lang intends to stay. She has even converted to Islam and taken a Bengali name, Shamreen Hassan.

 

Her Chinese friends, she told me, have largely left the country but their nation's ties with it remain strong.

 

Grand projects

Take the China-Bangladesh Friendship Bridges which span the capital's rivers. There are six in all, compared to just one UK-Bangladesh Friendship Bridge.

 

I crossed one of the Chinese bridges en route to the northern town of Bogra.

 

The traffic was chaotic... wobbly rickshaws, three-wheeled taxis and battered buses with passengers on the roof.

 

But without that bridge, everything would have had to make a long and hazardous detour along the banks of the polluted river below.

 

Then there is the great hall of the China Bangladesh Friendship Centre in Dhaka's Sher-e-Banglanagar district.

 

It is used for exhibitions, concerts and political rallies. China built it in 2002 at a cost of about £35m ($56m).

 

Generating goodwill

When I visited, it was hosting a convention on agriculture.

 

Chinese merchants were selling rice to Bangladeshi farmers. They had even brought a cookery book.

 

Some nations pump aid money into Bangladesh for schemes involving education or healthcare, but the Chinese like to build big things that people can see and use.

 

They also like schemes which find favour with local politicians.

 

At the moment they are sorting out accommodation for members of the Bangladeshi parliament. If an MP needs a second home in Dhaka, away from his constituency, the Chinese can help with the cost.

 

It seems that expense receipts can be submitted to Beijing with little chance of a scandal in the press.

 

Keenest prices

The political goodwill this nurtures creates an environment in which Chinese companies thrive.

 

Bangladesh does not manufacture much, except for clothes, so it imports large quantities of goods from China, from motorbikes and generators to soy sauce and socks.

 

Mohammad Hossain sells Chinese clocks and watches from a small stall in a shopping centre in Gulshan. "My customers really care about price," he told me.

 

"We could sell Japanese clocks and they would last for 10 years. These Chinese ones only last for two or three years but they are five times cheaper."

 

Shi Hong Shen, a Chinese businessman who works in telecoms, concurs. "Our Bangladeshi customers always want the lowest price," he told me over an ice cream in the lobby of a smart hotel.

 

"At the moment we can beat our foreign competitors but it's getting tough. That's why we're focusing now more on quality and service."

 

There is also a thriving market for imported weapons.

 

The Bangladeshi military is equipped with Chinese tanks and fighter planes - not that the Chinese want to encourage war or insurgency, they are keen that peace endures and the economy grows.

 

A few years from now, Bangladesh may be able to develop new industries. It should then be able to extract the vast reserves of natural gas and coal that lie beneath the land, just the sort of commodities that China would value.

 

Hand of friendship

When commerce is over, it is time to relax. Not that Dhaka is much of a party destination.

 

Taboos against alcohol and mixing between the sexes limit the social life. But there are places foreigners can enter that Bangladeshis avoid and one of them is the Happy Coffee Sing Along club.

 

The club does not, in fact, serve coffee but it does have beer and an imported spirit called Shochu.

 

The staff and all the customers, apart from me, were East Asian.

 

Mr Kim from Korea took the microphone. He has a tender voice, well suited to songs of seduction.

 

As he sang, he held a Chinese hostess tightly in his arms. He claimed he wanted to marry her but I suspected their acquaintance would not last.

 

However, for the Bangladeshis, the Chinese offer of a deep and long-term friendship seems sincere.

[ALOCHONA] Syed Kamran Mirza

 

You think, "Every sentence and every verse of the Holly Quran is from your Allah. I ask you, my dear Slave of Allah--how in the world, after reading the verses below---an intelligent human being such as yourself, can in good conscience conclude,  that The Holly Quran is from God! Read these verses below--with Holly Quran in your right hand---and ask yourself honestly why Allah would turn Jews into Apes and Pigs. (Show me the proof that I have taken these Verses out of Context)

 

• "We said to the Jews who transgressed in the matter of Sabbath: "Be ye Apes, despised and rejected." Surah 2:65-66

 

• "The Jews and the Christians should be disgraced in this World and would burn in Hell fire in the next world for believing the Bible". Surah 2:85 (Brother, if you live in America, do you have the testicular fortitude to tell a Jew or a Christian that 'hey Jew and Christian ---sorry, I can't touch you because—My Allah said you are a Pig)

 

• Allah is the Greatest Enemy of those who reject (Islam)

     Surah 2:98

    (By Definition, Allah, despises every other Religion)

 

• Those Christians who ascribe a partner to Allah-- will never be forgiven. Shirk is the greatest Sin in the Eyes of Allah. Most definitely their Abode is Hell Fire. Surah 4:48, 4:116

 

My Dear, I am afraid, you don't seem to have a clue about what is written in your Glorious Scripture. You are gobbling up, like a parrot, any non-sense thrown your way. Please use your independent judgment and Truth shall set you free. Don't forget-- Jews, Less than 1% of the world's population with 90% of the Nobel Prize! The Muslims 25% of the world's population with less than 1/100th of 1% of Nobel Prize! (Last time I checked, even after having all the Scientific Information in their Glorious Quran---The Muslim World, could not even manufacture a good Mop or a good Broom)

Salam,

 

No one can harm Islam or destroy God's message of the Qur'an.  People like SKM have always been around; they croak for a while like seasonal toads, tire out and dissipate into the dust.  So not to worry.  The Qur'an tells the believers to move away from them and lets them stew in their own soup.  God's message is its own proof and it needs no defense. The Qur'an thrives and survives on its own as per God's Will.

Assalam to All Bros n Sis. Do you know SKM really? simply put, He is another Devdas, another Asghar, with the sole aim of slandering the Muslims and degrading Islam.   A brother mailed me the real identity of SKM.   Here it goes!   Who is Syed Kamran Mirza ? Friday October 10 2008 14:29:38 PM BDT By Sultan Ahmad, USA Brothers and sisters of Internet groups: It has been observed that some Internet groups started writing and posting articles trying to belittle the great religion Islam. These bigot groups are not only attacking Islam and also writing articles against our beloved Prophet (sas) and the Holy Qura`n. It is our moral and obligatory duty to face these shaytanic groups collectively. Recently Syed Kamran Mirza (SKM) wrote an article in News From Bangladesh (an Internet English Newspaper) entitled "Quranic Erroneous Science and Contradictions!" Pl. try to read the article, then you will be convinced about their mission. Some of them write using the fake name. One of them is Syed Kamran Mirza. It is a fake name. He is neither Syed, nor Mirza either. He lives in Maryland area and works for US Dept. of Agriculture, originally a graduate of Agriculture U. of Mymensingh. His true name is Khorshed A. Chowdhury. He and many of his Mukto-mona friends have a clear agenda to eradicate Islam from the globe and use all kinds of attacks in their website: http://www.mukto-mona.com/new_site/mukto-mona/index.htm which is run by an anti-Muslim bigot by the name of Avijit Roy, son of ex-DU faculty, Ajoy Roy (who writes on how our people have been cleansing his fellow Hindus from B'desh). They have few websites with similar agenda to belittle our deen: http://www.mukto-mona.com/link/index.htm. There is another bigot group: http://www.faithfreedom.org/ that cooperates with Mukto-Mona. A pro-Shah Irani runs it by the name of Ali Sina. This group has also been able to bring together many anti-Muslim bigots to vent their attack against Islam and everything it upholds. M. Asghar, Abul Kasem and quite a few of these bigots, including SKM write regularly on these sites.

But to my utter surprise, I could not find a single statement, or fact in the Quran which could not be said/think/formulat e/imagine by human beings. This statement is true for all religious books, not just Quran. Quran: (Q.4:82 ): "Do they not consider the Qur'an? Had it been from any other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy." Discrepancy? There are plenty of discrepancies in Quran. One can find numerous discrepancies, inconsistencies, contradictions, scientific errors, full of redundancies, lack of any chronology etc throughout the entire Qur'an. We read in the elementary class the famous poem: "Apanere bora vole bora shay noy, loke jare bora vole bora shay hoy". Self proclamation of greatness is never valid, but when other people say good then it really becomes good. Just because, Quran itself claimed that it is free of any discrepancy, that does not mean it is free of any discrepancy. It is to be judged nonbiased by it's contents only. My several previous articles on Qur'an, Hadiths and some historical happenings such as: Adoption in Islam, Prophet's marriage, Embryological development of human, Sword of Mercy etc. have very well postulated various facts which I consider mostly proven much reflections much of what was going on in the mind of the man who composed it. We have been talking about self-serving Quranic revelations, such as, sending Ayats: to prohibit adoption in Islam to justify marrying (scandalous) adapted son's divorced wife, marrying six year old Ayesha, (revealing Sahi Hadiths to justify) ; Ayats to prohibit/control the movements of disciples in the prophet's house; and insisting/luring the followers to fight/kill in order to get prophet's intention fulfilled, Ayats to subdue Prophet's own wive's rebellion by giving threat of mass divorce etc. Do we need to search for the reflections in Quran? Human reflections are every where in the Quran. These are pure human reflections on the so called divine orders. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) wanted to establish a new religion and he had to overcome any obstacles/resistanc e on his path and he needed strength to fight those obstacles to get the success. And so he brought revelations to lure/insist people to fight and kill for his cause. If he was an omnipotent human being, probably he would not have to ask people to kill. Erroneous Historical Facts: Stating historical facts is not impossible for human beings. History is the thing of the past and mankind so far discovered/learned lots of amazing past of this planet. Mankind's quest of knowing our past can reach millions of years and it does not take divinity to know the past. Of course, knowing future could take a divine help, because mankind hardly can predict the future (except weather forecast) very accurately. For example, take these case of Dhul-Qarnayn and Embryology: Dhul-qarnayn: This is historical past happened not far from Arab and again this historical statement is seriously erroneous. This Dhul-Qarnayn history (Quran:18:83- 98) is said to be about Alexander the Great who came from the north (Macedonia). Quran amazingly claims that Alexander the Great was a righteous man (Muslim), even though, history tells us that, Alexander was a licentious, belligerent, idolatrous and claimed to be the son of Amun, the God of Egypt. And Quran amazingly stated that, the Alexander was the one who reached the west point of flat earth where sun set down in a well of muddy water, and also he reached the point of east end of the earth where he saw sun was rising. Quran mentioned (Quran: 19:28, 66:12, 3:35) Mary (Mother of Jesus) as the sister of Aaron and Moses and the daughter of Imran. This is a grave error of the history. Virgin Mary the mother of Jesus had no brother named Aaron and Mary born almost 1500 hundreds years after the Moses and Aaron was born. Therefore, stating "historical past" is not impossible for mankind. Of course, sometimes people may record wrong history such as the case of Mary. People get them from various story tellers, archeological ruins, records of the past, historical installations etc. Most of the historical stories in the Quran are believed to be originated from Old testaments, book of Zoroastrian, and other local myths and heretical Arab's stories. Most of all, knowing the past history was never impossible for human beings of any ages. But we can see, the above two samples of historical past in Qur'an were not true or accurate. If it was from divine source, one could expect it to be true and accurate. Modern human beings can discover/ know the history of millions of years old with much accuracy with out the help of divine power. Mankind discovered very accurately our fossilized pasts and discovered the existed past of the extinct Dinosaurs which ruled the earth 65 million years ago. Existence of the Dinosaur is not an imagination, it is a reality today. This is a great historical fact which Allah even did not remember to mention in any of the Holy books. Embryology in Quran: There is no embryological science presented in the Quran, which was not know at the time of 6th or 7th century period. In fact, most of the embryological science described in Quran was known to this world well before the time of Quranic compilation. Quranic description very well fits the embryological descriptions of Hippocrates, Aristotle and Galenic (from 5th century B.C. to 4th century A.D.) period. It is irrelevant to ask how Muhammad could have known or found this knowledge. But it is important to note that this much of embryological knowledge was available/prevailin g at that time of the world. Most importantly, embryological knowledge presented in the Quran,and ancient Greeks (Hippocrates, Aristotle) and Galenic period was scientifically incorrect compared to the modern scientific knowledge. Quite obviously, had there been this knowledge of embryology came from divine source, there could be no error fond in them today or even after millions of years. In my article, "Ambiguity of Human Embryology-Science #2", I have mentioned how embryological knowledge in Quran was borrowed from ancient Greek ideas. As for example, Quran stated, " We created man from clotted blood" (Zammat rakta theke manush baniechi) was the same erroneous idea of Hippocrates who thought, human embryo develops by mixing menstrual blood with semen. Truth of the matter is, nothing can grow from clotted blood. What could be then convincing revelation to consider Divinity? Revelations which could be considered purely divine are: had there been statement/predictio n/foretold in Quran—such as, existence of Dinosaurs, human beings will fly in the sky like a bird, mankind will land in the moon, diseases are caused by living organisms, human beings will conquer new lands to the other side of the ocean or at least earth is round and not flat and it is not the sun moves/travels for appointed times but it is the earth moves around the Sun etc etc. THEN, NOBODY WOULD RAISE ANY DOUBT OR WOULD HAVE ASKED ANY QUESTION ABOUT THE DIVINENESS OF THE HOLY QURAN TO DAY.
