>>>>>>>>>>> I respectfully and strongly disagree. It is NOT part of Islam to destroy deity. Only out of context one liner "Pandits" would say such a thing. Fortunately most of what Dr. Das shares here are NOT based on facts but imagination only. We went through this many time to expose "Hate speech" in this forum.
>>>>>>>> Thanks for sharing your opinion. BNP surely have to work to earn confidence and trust from minorities of Bangladesh. Albeit historically (Except 2001) they have been as tolerant as any leading political parties (BAL or Jatiya party etc).

The destruction of deity is one the tools of persecution of Hindus. But, it has been used mostly out of religious hatred and political purposes. First time I saw such incident right after the independence in 1972, in which perpetrators entered into a temple during an ongoing religious festivity, and ransacked it, desecrated deities, and scattered beef throughout the temple right in front of devotees. I did not witness such incident during the Pakistani regime. At that time, I came to the conclusion that - it was due to religious hatred, arising from fanatical people out of their existential threats, which they never felt during the Pakistani regime. The religious fanatics are again facing such existential threats right now. Many more similar actions may ensue in the future….
>>>>>>>>>>> For religious ignorance. Only ignorant losers would destroy holy places of another faith. They may abuse the name of Islam to do so but have NO clue what Islam says about such things.
hey need to wait for the next BNP rule. That will facilitate the golden opportunity, which will be the end of Bangladesh, as we know; Sharia Law will become the law of the land, and Bangla will become the Afghanistan, as they dream. The history will tell the rest

Unfortunately, destruction of deity is sanctioned by religion, as Dr. Das has pointed out. Fortunately, 99% people in Bangladesh reject it, and they don't support religious fanaticism. As a result, military coup is the only avenue that is open to them to get the helm of Bangladesh. In order to create that ground, they need to destabilize country's law and order. They will try anything to do so. In the recent attempt, they failed. They need to wait for the next BNP rule. That will facilitate the golden opportunity, which will be the end of Bangladesh, as we know; Sharia Law will become the law of the land, and Bangla will become the Afghanistan, as they dream. The history will tell the rest ….
Children of Abraham are assured of their place in heaven for such deeds. Hence they ruin the icons of other religions.
