Jowher sahib,
I have not said that women should stay in home only. You know Islam permits women to go even in battlefields .I have found out that most women I have talked do not like body exposures before men folk ( dress is becoming too revealing with Urna—breast and head cover-- in hand or neck or shoulder, sometimes transparent dress ) .Most women I oppose this.
I am 73.In my childhood in various places (I moved with my father who was in service) I did not see any observance in Ist Baishakh, not even any rich food in home. Literature show that some melas used to be held in some places where some toys etc used to be sold.
What is happening now is corporate capitalists business promotion (buying new dress, new ornaments, bangles etc) and invasion of western and Indian nude culture of exploiting women's body. The bad boys use this day to harass girls and touch their bodies. This is the truth.
Some secular elements are trying to make this an alternative to Eid in the name of so-called non-communalism which in effect means promotion of idolatry of various kinds instead of Tauhidi culture .

I think Mr Hannan didn't advocate to kill anyone and it is against the Islamic teachings and observing Pahelabaisak is debatable. There is need of scholarly discussion to observe it in an Islamic way. We shouldn't throw the blame of arrow to someone for nothing. JAK.

Thanks Mr. Hannan for welcoming Bengali New Year.
However, Mr. Hannan writes in his messg that it's not advisable to make concert, dances etc where there's scope of women's body exposure that might inflict lust in male's heart especially in the hearts of Islamic minded people. Very correct. Women should stay inside home & observe Baishakh in Islamic way such as cooking rich food for children, making some additional Rakaats etc.
But I'm in a puzzle. Some Muslims don't pay heed to this Islamic prescription. Instead they flock under Ramna Batomul & in
, sing songs of non-Muslim poets (especially Kafir Tagore's), use drums-Harmoniums-flutes which is definitely un-Islamic practice. NAAM Center
What's the Islamic way to combat these ignorant people? Is it permissible to fight against these infidels & throw bombs (as staged in 2001) so that fear afflicts in their minds in such a magnitude that they never dare to come out & participate in such congregations?
Would Mr. Hannan be kind enough to make honest comment on this issue? As he possesses great knowledge on Islamic matters than we, it would help us know the correct way.
Regards.

"We welcome the new year in Bangla calendar. We wish people happiness and peace in the next year. We also urge people to uphold national and decent culture and avoid indecencies which have been imported recently from abroad. Entertainment has, in the name of concert and dancing, has become a competition of mainly women body exposures and display of costume, not only in Baishakh but also in most entertainment shows and concerts. This must be avoided. Anything contrary to Islamic culture which is the religion of a great majority of
should not be encouraged." Bangladesh
