Mr. Rahman gets it, but radical Islamists don't. Violence is never a winning political strategy in a free country; if that was – Jamat would have secured the majority-party status in Bangladesh by now. Jamat has been engaged in violence ever since Pakistan was created. Look at where they are today. Fact is – these radical Islamists are not smart people; they cannot think straight. Violence is their only trade. They give impression of being religious outside, but - inside is filled with tremendous hatred, which drives them to violence in every excuse they can find. If you noticed, most violence starts after Friday-prayers, meaning – whatever religion they seem to be following is not quelling their hatred, it's just transforming their hatred into thousand fold. The whole thing is plain ridiculous. Yet, they can't figure it out. Jamat is engulfed in international conspiracy; they are just pawn. I have an impression that Mr. Hannan Shah does get it also, but – the situation is beyond his control. Jiten Roy

Violence is a tool to push forward the agenda of the political religions. Neither Rahman nor Roy has this in his agenda.

>>>>>>>> I think you asked a valid question. As per my observation, I feel God does not depend on our "Protest". Therefore, we can make peaceful protests to make our point. Sadly not only about religion, most of our "Protests" becomes violent frequently.
I think we the people forget that, we are not colonized anymore. We don't win anything when we burn a public bus or destroy someone's private car out of rage. Specifically Islam promotes free market and respect for people's properties. So Muslims who have some basic understanding of Islam should NEVER resort to violence so easily.
I remember, when the Danish cartoons were published (About Islam), people resorted to violence and gained NOTHING by being violent. However some Gulf countries decided to do something about it peacefully. After making request to stop such lies against the religious figure, they gained nothing. After that, they stopped buying products from Denmark. Interestingly Denmark is dependent on fast growing middle eastern market for their dairy industry. Soon after money stopped flowing from Muslim customers, Denmark quietly took care of it.
I think peaceful protests should be encouraged but violence does nothing for our causes. Sooner we realize it, it will be better for all of us.
Shalom!

It tells a lot about the people and the status of a country when you see 8/9 year old kids go to jail for insulting Islam. I know Morsi is releasing them, but – the story makes you wonder about where those people are. Do they need to take every little insult that seriously? I wonder if there is anything called the childhood innocence in those societies. I bet – lives of those kids will be in danger after their release. Their childhood freedom is gone forever. I remember, a few years back, when Hindus were not happy to see pictures of Gods and Goddesses on the foot wares and napkins, they protested to the makers of those commodities and called for boycott of those companies. That's about it. Why can't we get that type of response from the radical Islamists? Why can't they let God take care of those who insult their religion? I am sure millions of people are asking these questions. I believe - the path Islamists take to vent their anger may insult God and religion much more than any one individual could ever do.

Good news. With pressure from the fundamentalist groups Egypt will probably consider having a strict form of blasphemy law. Badruddin Umar has indicated that Ramu violence may be a conspiracy to have blasphemy law in Bangladesh
