Kissing the black sone is desired by the Muslims because the Prophet (SWS) did that. Umar (RA), the second Khalifa of Islam, explained this vey clearly when he looked at the blackstone and said that it was a stone he would not bother to kiss this if he did not see the Prophet do this. No one is obligated to kiss or touch the black stone. Actually it is almost impossible to touch the blackstone these days becuase of the crowds.
This is not the same as worshipping some thing else. Worshipping any entity other than the Almighy Allah is outside the scope of Islam. Thinking of bringing the two on the same platform of discussion says a lot about the author.

In the resolution titled "Dhaka Declaration"
The resolution was adopted at concluding session of the conference following daylong discussions attended by delegates including human rights activists, lawyers and experts from 11 countries.
The resolution said the trial of war criminals in Bangladesh would discourage the culture of impunity and urged international community "to unite against the culture of impunity to prevent genocides and war crimes from recurring."
Countries affected by terrorism and regional extremism were also urged to support the proposed regional taskforce, a taskforce proposed by Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina, to combat religious extremism and terrorism.
The resolution also emphasized strict measures to check money laundering for what they said, "fundamentalist organisations across the world are using different NGOs, Banks and various financial institutions to finance militancy and terrorism through money laundering."
Building a domestic and regional secular humanist network by civil societies and governments across the world was also urged upon.
The conference also called upon Pakistan to take effective measures to curb and eliminate religious militancy, repeal anti-Ahmadiyya laws and blasphemy laws.
Earlier, during its inauguration, speakers from home and abroad urged all countries to form an inter-continental network based on secularism.
"Religious fundamentalism in many forms and faces has become a great problem. There is no time to lose. With cooperation from all we must cut it out globally before it is too late. Otherwise humanism will be in jeopardy," said Prof Kabir Chowdhury, president of the advisory committee of Ekattorer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee.
"If there are Muslim fundamentalists in Pakistan, there must be Hindu fundamentalists in India. If there is Hindu fundamentalists in India, there is no way to resist Muslim fundamentalists in Bangladesh," said former speaker of India PA Sangma.
Former speaker of Nepal Daman Dhungana said that democracy couldn't be achieved without overcoming religious extremism.
"Individually it is tough to overcome this, but globally it can be done," he added.
Prof Shafaraj Khan from Pakistan, Prof Maxim Dubayev from Russia, terrorism expert Chris Blackburn from UK, Cecilia Wikstrom, member of MEP, Sweden, Parvin Najfgholi Ardalan, human right activist from Iran and Attorney William Sloan also spoke in the inaugural session. Journalist Shahriar Kabir conducted the programme.
Speakers also discussed Jamaat-e-Islami'
"Trial of war criminal is necessary for strengthening the foundation of democracy. It is a matter of great shame that collaborators were reinstated in Bangladesh politics," said Dr Peter Custers from The Netherlands in his speech during inaugural session.
He also mentioned that European countries politically support this effort of war crimes trial and suggested taking assistance from international lawyers.
"It's never too late for justice. Time is always now. It is always the right time to punish crime against humanity," said William Sloan.

Indeed, I think this Bangladeshi institution has much promise. So many of us (politicians, bureaucrats, religious leaders, know it all NRBs etc) including myself need to get our brains washed from time to time. Too much garbage we are carrying.

A Lament For
May its lights always shine!
C.M. Naim
Outlook Magazine
http://outlookindia.com/article.aspx?266130
"Once I, 'Ali bin 'Uthman al-Jullabi, found myself in a difficulty. After many devotional exercises undertaken in the hope of clearing it away, I repaired—as I had done with success on a former occasion—to the tomb of Abu Yazid, and stayed beside it for a space of three months, performing every day three ablutions and thirty purifications in the hope that my difficulty might be removed. It was not, however; so I departed and journeyed towards Khurasan.
One night I arrived at a village in that country where there was a convent (khānaqāh) inhabited by a number of aspirants to Sufism. I was wearing a dark-blue [robe], such as is prescribed by the Sunna; but I had with me nothing of the Sufi's regular equipment except a staff and a leathern water-bottle. I appeared very contemptible in the eyes of these Sufis, who did not know me. They regarded only my external habit and said to one another, 'This fellow is not one of us.'
And so in truth it was: I was not one of them, but I had to pass the night in that place. They lodged me on a roof, while they themselves went up to a roof above mine, and set before me dry bread which had turned green, while I was drawing into my nostrils the savour of the viands with which they regaled themselves. All the time they were addressing derisive remarks to me from the roof. When they finished the food, they began to pelt me with the skins of the melons which they had eaten, by way of showing how pleased they were with themselves and how lightly they thought of me.
I said in my heart: 'O Lord God, were it not that they are wearing the dress of Thy friends, I would not have borne this from them.' And the more they scoffed at me the more glad became my heart, so that the endurance of this burden was the means of delivering me from that difficulty which I have mentioned; and forthwith I perceived why the Shaykhs have always given fools leave to associate with them and for what reason they submit to their annoyance."
--Ali bin Uthman al-Hujwiri, The Kashf Al-Mahjūb,
tr. Reynold A. Nicholson (
This man, Ali son of Uthman, was born in Hajwair or Hujwir and grew up in Jallab or Jullab, which were either two neighborhoods in the city of
We are also equally certain that he wrote a magnificent book on Tasavvuf, calling it Kashf-al-Mahjūb ("Revelation of the Veiled"). It is always called the first great treatise in Persian on Islamic Mysticism; it is also one of the foremost books on the subject. In fact, for the lay reader, it may well be the best book on Tasavvuf in any language. He wrote some poetry, too, but made the mistake of giving the collection to a friend, who never gave it back. Much worse, the wretch published the collection after putting his own name on the poems. The same happened another time too, when someone borrowed the draft of an earlier work on Tasavvuf, and then passed it around as his own. And so—the author cheerfully confides—when he wrote his magnum opus he made sure to put his name not only at the beginning but also within the text at several places. Now who would not seek and receive guidance from such a forthright man?
Legend has it that one day his Sufi mentor ordered Ali bin Uthman to rush to
Last Thursday, the first day of July, 2010, which was the 18th day of Rajab, 1431, a few thousand men, women, and children must have come to the shrine all day long and in the evening, as they have for centuries. Many must have come for the fortieth time, joyfully looking forward to having all their needs met by the grace of God, as they believed deep in their hearts. But some, it turned out, were not so fortunate. Three criminally insane men and their untold masters changed everything. Now more than forty devotees of Dātā rest in graves, and close to two hundred lie in hospitals badly injured. And hundreds more will never forget what they themselves felt last Thursday night or what they watched happening around them as an evening of bliss turned into a nightmare. In a few days another Thursday will come. Will the survivors return to the "Court of the Giver" that day? I hope they do. If they don't, they will miserably disappoint the man they love, the man who could find a tool to perfect himself in chewed up melon skins thrown at him by some ignorant wretches.
Crushing the opposition
in Bangladesh
Zoglul Husain, UK
London 4 July
2010. Bangladesh plunged into a new and deep political crisis as the government
deliberately set itself on a collision course with the opposition, which many
presume to be prompted from across the border. The overt objective of the
government seems to be to crush the opposition for perpetuation of its power
and its covert aim being to remove the obstacles in serving the Indian interest
at the cost of the country.
According to
some opposition quarters, the government thus acting as the obsequious minions
of a hegemonic neighbouring country is bound to bring upon Bangladesh untold
peril and dire consequences and, as poetic justice, upon itself too, which
would be reaping a bitter harvest and, as such, it could be quite harsh and
unkind too. Obaidul Quader, a Bangladesh Awami League (BAL) leader, vented out
the recognition of this realisation when he said on 2 July 2010 that the
present political confrontation could be "suicidal" for both the government and
the opposition.
Repression of
the media:
The daily Amar
Desh, a popular and powerful voice of the opposition, not belonging to any
particular political party, was conspiratorially shut down as the National
Security Intelligence (NSI) nabbed its publisher for six hours to get him to
sign a few blank papers, which were then converted to complaints, framed by the
NSI, to arrest the editor-in-charge, Mahmudur Rahman, at about 4 am on 2 June
2010 with a 200-strong police force, on ridiculously flimsy charges. After
arrest, new charges of conspiracy against the state and of patronisation of
Hijb-ut Tahrir, an Islamic organisation, were lodged against him, again
conspiratorially.
Defying the
concerns of the US and the UK embassies for freedom of the press and also
defying the court order not to torture, which is forbidden by the constitution,
the police later forcibly undressed him at midnight in remand, tortured and
beat him up leaving him unconscious, while the paper was closed down by the
supreme court for a month, within which time, new orders may be issued. In the
circumstances, the future of Mahmudur and the daily Amar Desh are uncertain at
this stage.
As regards the
vague allegations against Mahmudur of his connections with "Islamic terrorism",
it needs to be remarked that, according to many, whatever there were in
Bangladesh in the name of "Islamic terrorism", were created in the main by
India (such as JMB) and Israel (such as HuJI-B) for their ulterior motives of
imparting blemish of "terrorism" and "failed state" to the country and thus making
it a target of some foreign powers with the aim of subjugating the country by
India in the common interest of those countries.
The hegemonic
neighbouring country has continued with the same heinous conspiracy unabated,
with malicious propaganda by their powerful media and pockets of influence
worldwide. But it would not be out of place to mention here that the evil
US-Israel-India axis of the Bush era, seems to be in the process of gradually
being down-graded and dismantled in the present Obama era, in spite of defiance
and circumvention by both India and Israel, which may not yield their desired
result, albeit definitive conclusions cannot yet be reached for lack of
unequivocal official statements backed up by discernable actions.
As to the
present government's attempt to gag the media, already previously, it closed TV
channels, such as Channel-1 and Jamuna. By now, all the newspapers, indeed all
print and electronic media, including online publications and websites, of
Bangladesh are being controlled by the government through autocratic actions
and intimidations, the TV talk shows being prevented from any dissensions and
these shows are being directed to eulogies only for the government and its
foreign allies. The government seems to be taking directions churned out of
powerful computers of foreign lands.
"Persecution"
of the BNP:
Irrespective of
whether anyone supports a particular party or not, it is in the interest of the
citizens in a democracy to see that human rights, democratic rights and rule of
law are respected and practised and that justice prevails in matters of
governance and all walks of social and political lives. Any incumbent autocracy
should also learn from the history, for today's power can evaporate tomorrow,
as it generally does.
The countrywide
general strike called by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) on 27 June 2010
on their 11-point demands and supported by many opposition parties, including
the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami (BJI), was hugely successful and the picketing
and processions of various groups of the opposition were also peaceful. But the
Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), police and the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB),
according to reports, resorted to violence as they went on attacks, which were
clearly seen to be unprovoked and premeditated. In particular, certain
government-sponsored acts of brutality drew public condemnation, as well as
international criticism, such as, of Amnesty International.
The brutal
beating up of BNP students' affairs secretary Shahiduddin Chowdhury Annie MP
jointly by BCL members and the police and later, as a total disgrace to medical
profession, by BAL elements of hospital doctors and staffs when Annie was taken
to hospital, was a case in point. Similarly, thoroughly condemned was the joint
attack of members of BCL and RAB in the peaceful house of the BNP standing
committee member Mirza Abbas, a former Mayor, who was earlier arrested the same
day. The people, who gathered in the house after his arrest, were beaten up
brutally including women, among them were his wife and his 85-year old mother
and, as stated by his wife, about 50 people were arrested.
BNP claimed
that more than one thousand of their leaders and workers were arrested on the
day and more than five hundred injured. Prominent among them, in addition to
the two above, were Vice-Chairman Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury, Khaleda's advisers
Prof M A Mannan and Adv Ahmed Azam, and Rajia Begum, secretary of women's
organisation, Bangladesh Jatiotabadi Mohila Dal (BJMD).
Clearly, many
of these arrests were targeted in order to weaken and demolish the BNP
organisation. The arrest of Mirza Abbas and filing of case against Mayor Sadek
Hossain Khoka, who may be arrested later, are aimed at weakening the BNP in
Dhaka. MP Annie was arrested to weaken the student organization the Bangladesh
Jatiotabadi Chhatra Dal (BJCD), while BNP adviser, former foreign secretary and
former ambassador to the US, Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury, to weaken foreign
lobbying and Rajia Begum to weaken women's organisation, BJMD. Similarly, the
arrests of the secretaries of volunteer organisation Jatiotabadi
Swechhasebok Dal, Fishermen's organisation Motshojibi Dal etc. were targeted.
The BNP termed these targeted attacks as "political persecution".
At this present
tempo, any leader of the BNP, including Khaleda, may be arrested and the BNP
should have no illusions of any kind about that. The government seems to be
cutting off the twigs and branches of BNP, before felling the tree. Even today
(4 July 2010) Hasina claimed that Khaleda was involved in the bombing of August
21, 2004 at Hasina's meeting. Is it a hint?
Arrest of BJI
leaders:
The government
previously arrested many members of Hijb-ut Tahrir, including its leader, and
later banned the organisation. Previously also many of Jamaat and Shibir
activists were arrested. In the RU (Rajshahi University) BCL leader Faruk
murder case in February 2010 alone, more than two hundred Jamaat and Shibir
activists were arrested. And now comes the crunch, the top three leaders of BJI
were arrested.
On 29 June
2010, Nizami, Mojahid, and Sayedee were arrested on most laughable charges
of hurting Islamic sentiments. But that this was only a ploy was apparent next
day when a raft of cases, such as murder of Freedom Fighters in 1971,
implication in RU BCL leader Faruk Hossain murder case, torching of vehicles
during the general strike of 27 June 2010, malicious propaganda against the
image of the country and its foreign friends, etc. were brought against them.
And then each of them was given a remand of 16 days, which is a record number.
Today (4 July
2010), according to reports, Law minister Shafique Ahmed said that the 1971 war
crimes tribunal could have the three top Jamaat-e-Islami leaders shown arrested
for crimes against humanity on the basis of witnesses and evidence.
The government
seems to be aiming at meting out capital punishment to a number of BJI leaders
and destroying the organisations of BJI and Shibir. When the Jamat-Shibir
activists demonstrated today throughout the country to protest the arrest of
their leaders and workers, about one hundred activists were arrested, as
reported.
According to
many, Jamaat was an ally of BAL and Ershad, during the Ershad regime of 9
years, until at the end when both BAL and BJI joined the movement to bring down
Ershad. Again BJI along with Ershad was an ally of BAL, during Hasina regime of
1996-2001, when at the end of it, the BJI switched sides to join a coalition
with the BNP and won two ministries for Nizami and Mojahid during Khaleda
regime of 2001-06. The BJI has since become a target of the BAL, while Ershad
became an ally of the present BAL government.
So, which way
is the political pendulum swinging?
The writing
seems to be on the wall for the government. The complaint of the opposition
against the government include: rampant corruption, armed terror, murders,
grabbing, misrule, oppression of citizens, repression, partisan control of
administration, judiciary, Anti-corruption Commission (ACC), law enforcing agencies,
educational and other institutions etc. The people's discontent and swelling
rage are gradually cutting the ground from under the feet of the government.
Additionally, its declared intent to serve
Indian interest at the cost of the country has added fuel to the fire. The
total silence of the Hasina government against Indian border atrocities
such as killing of nine hundred innocent unarmed Bangladeshi villagers in ten
years by contravening the Geneva convention, and incidents such as
forcible intrusion and occupation of Bangladeshi agricultural lands in the
Jaintapur border area are not going unnoticed. The people are getting
further enraged.
No wonder
Indian media are hinting at a possible military coup in Bangladesh. Coup or
not, the government is already finding itself in a tight corner. Within one and
a half years of its coming to power, the government seems to have started
tottering.
It is in this
charged backdrop that the BNP emphatically won the Chittagong City Corporation
(CCC) election held on 17 June 2010. It is the first time since 1/11 2007 that
the law enforcing agencies did not interfere in the balloting system. What
internal and or external influences were there at work is not crystal clear,
but the returning officer Jasmine Tuli set an example of acceptable, free and
fair election, just as the general elections of 1991, 1996 and 2001 were
acceptable.
In the recent
Bhola-3 by-election, the loser BNP candidate Maj (Retd) Hafiz complained of the
Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI), NSI, Special Branch (SB)
etc. campaigning against him. About the general election of 29 December 2008,
former BAL secretary Abdul Jalil said that the Hasina government came to power
through understanding with the army. Gen (Retd) Ershad also said that without
the help of the army, this government would never come to power. These three
leaders summed up the situation of these rigged elections. Thus, the people who
termed the CCC election a turning point are more than justified. It boosted up
the spirits of the BNP camp.
The highly
successful general strike of 27 June 2010 called by the BNP camp is indeed a
notice served on the government. And the more the government resorts to
repression and persecution, the more the people will be mobilised against it.
What is more, if the repression exceeds the level of tolerance, some sections
of the BNP and the BJI, which are involved in constitutional politics for the
last three decades, may be driven underground along with sections of other
opposition parties, as the opposition did during Mujib regime of 1972-75.
In order to
play a good role in history, the political parties need to learn from the
history.

India's provocation campaign takes a new turnSUNDAY'S incident on the Jaintapur border in Sylhet, in which 10 Bangladeshis were wounded when members of India's Khasia community opened fire from the other side of the frontier, had been in the offing for quite some time now. According to a report front-paged in New Age on Monday, the Khasia people have been tilling cropland about 200 metres inside Bangladesh since June 25, 17 hours after a high-level meeting between the Bangladesh Rifles and the Border Security Force of India. While the BSF and, by implication, the Indian government have paid little heed to the protests lodged by the BDR, the Khasia people have sought to make it clear that they would not stop their incursion into Bangladesh territory for tilling cropland. On June 26, a Bangladeshi teenager was wounded when he was shot from across the border. Death of, and injury to, Bangladeshis in gunshots fired from across the border is neither unprecedented nor isolated. In fact, Jaintapur has become a flashpoint of border skirmishes these days. The oddity about the latest incident is that this time around it was not the BSF soldiers but people of the Khasia community, themselves repressed and exploited by the Indian state, who had pulled the trigger. It seems that the Indian state and its ruling class have chosen to use an underprivileged and exploited section of the Indian society as fodders to carry on with its campaign of brazen provocation against Bangladesh.
The other disturbing facet of Sunday's incident is the attack on the BDR outpost by people of the bordering villages. According to the New Age report, the agitated villagers also blocked the Sylhet-Tamabil road for two hours in protest at the unresponsive role of the BDR following the shooting by the Khasia people. They were also unhappy with the BDR for not allowing them to drive away the trespassing Indians by themselves. While the anger and frustration of the villagers is understandable, the BDR has certainly played a commendable role by not letting the villagers take charge. Had it not intervened the situation might very well have gone out of control and resulted in the loss of lives on both sides of the border. In fact, the BDR has consistently displayed its commitment to maintaining peace and order on the border despite relentless provocations and atrocities by the Indian border guards. Unfortunately, neither the BSF top brass nor the Indian government has shown any signs that may suggest that they are appreciative of the BDR's role. Disturbingly still, the Awami League-led government, due to either inability or unwillingness to effectively raise the issue, has exposed the BDR to wrath of the people in the bordering villages. The BDR, already weakened by the February 25-26 rebellion and its aftermath, must not be projected as 'villains', so to speak, for the sake of greater national interest.
According to a report also front-paged on Monday, the government on Sunday initiated a move to lodge a protest with the Indian government against the shooting by the Khasia people. We are also told that the Indian high commissioner in Dhaka was called in by the government and asked to inform New Delhi of the development on the Jaintapur border. Regrettably, however, there are hardly any reasons for us to be reassured. After all, the incumbents have thus far appeared rather docile in their diplomatic exchanges with their Indian counterparts. In fact, the government's foreign policy towards India has been criticised as being subservient by different quarters. Hence, it is time for the government to assertively raise the issue with India and persuade it to take effective actions so that such provocative actions by either the BSF or Indian nationals do not recur. At the same time, the government needs to clarify its position vis-à-vis India to the public and also take steps to inform the democratically-oriented citizens of India and beyond about New Delhi's aggressive role. After all, mobilisation of public opinion across the borders is imperative to create pressure on New Delhi so that it refrains from such acts of aggression – for the sake of peace and stability in the region.
I know many people can't make a connection between my name and my views. The synthesis is that a person with a Muslim name is not allowed to talk free and differ from your views which is dogmatic and does not sit in the couch as science and logic does. If blind faith is the foundation of your views our debate will be stagnant and boring. In the 7th century Muhammad was right for his times but in 21st century you are wrong for your times. The time of the pagan Arabs have passed a long time ago, human knowledge have advanced beyond any limits, therefore those 7th century fables are completely obsolete now. If you stick to those dead ideas it's your personal freedom, no sensible and pragmatic person will share your perceptions.
The notion of worshipping is a superfluous act. But people use it to acknowledge their limits based on their depth of emotion which is again based on helplessness.

On a philosophical note I would tell you that an epoch is fast approaching when all the institutionalized religions will merge into one and that will be based on humanism. The posterity will call us ignorant if we do not realize this sure eventuality. The story of Gabriel, Muhammad's ascension to the heavens, Jesuse's heavenly conception and birth all will be bed time stories. By sticking to these fables and by ignoring the importance of logic and science we do not help the progress of knowledge. My name is not an obstacle in this process; it's the immovable position of people like you who are trying to stop the march of time.
