>>>>>>>>>>> Politics can be for good and it can also bring bad results. In our country frequently it brings bad results, so there is a negative connotation to the term "Politics". It is true Islam offered solution to most problems we face and give us "Hints" to solve rest of the problem we have.
It is the ONLY religion which has well preserved codified laws which other faith traditions had to "Invent" or copy from others.
For example, Muslims were the first civilization which introduced large scale pluralistic societies to the world. When it was "Dark Ages" for Europeans, Muslims lead the way and established the most progressive community in Spain and creators of modern Europe took inspiration from it.
Since Islam is a global religion, it has some local issues. To me, the top issue for our area is lack of Islamic education. For example, member Ahmed said,
There are many intellectual discussion/opposition against Islam/Muslim and that is fine. Go ahead and do that as much as you wish.
He made a very acceptable point of view. He did NOT shun criticism but reminded us that, prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has a very special place in our heart and requested not to throw slander or libel in his way.
Albeit I have a different way of handing ignorant idiots who love to insult without knowing much about the noble prophet (PBUH) himself.
For example, if I go and slaughter a big cow in a main street of Kolkata, I might not violated any laws but I would manage to hurt a lot of people. Among those hurt, if even 1% react in a violent way that can cause a lot of havoc in that city and even in the whole region.
Similarly most Muslims are VERY tolerant of criticism but even if 1% cannot handle their emotion that can cause a lot of problem. Member Ahmad probably requested in that line. If you look at the post positively, you can find of a lot of sympathy and concern for atheist and non-Muslims in it.
The problem ALSO lies within some members of the forum, who quickly take all post by theist members as negative. Which shows a little intolerance.
In Islam, a Muslim is prohibited from insulting other faiths
>>>>>>>> Absolutely. We Muslims have to do a better job of reminding this to our fellow Muslims about this aspect of Islam. It is written in the Qur'an and more we learn about Islam, we'll have more peace and harmony among all people of faiths/tradition.
Shalom!

theories on political Islam. This new interpretation seems to be not even a hundred years old. Many Great teachings of Islam (charity, regularity and cleanliness involving daily prayers, restraints that come with annual fasting, compassion, respect, encouragement to acquire knowledge, savings, etc.) can easily constitute a complete code of life to any practicing nonpolitical Muslim. As a matter of fact in my life I have been in close touch with many Muslins like this. Political Islam is ruining every thing. This new trend needs to be resisted. These political Islamists are tarnishing the image of Islam as a complete code of life.

Bloggers have not destroyed any religion as far as we know. Now, if you want your pure Wahabi version of Islam, you should start chopping some bloggers' heads to quench your blood thirst. We will see whether Jamatis can rule with their daggers in the East?

-----Original Message-----
The meaning of the term "complete code of life" has been over stretched by the over enthusiastic propounders of
"Islam is a complete code of life."- If so, why even bother to learn or use anything that is not Islamic in origin?
2013/2/26 Mir Ahmad <mirahmadf@hotmail.com>
Please read it carefully and get it clear - in Islam religion and politics are not separate as the west separates. Islam is a complete code of life. I hope you understand what it means.
If anyone (no matter where s/he live or ethnicity/nationality) insults/ridicules Islam and the Prophet (pbuh), a person who cares least (like me who is a non-political person) about BD (because it's already a DEAD COUNTRY) will protest against it in the strongest possible terms. We'll unfold the faces of these culprits and ask the authority for severe punishment for such provocative behavior. There are many intellectual discussion/opposition against Islam/Muslim and that is fine. Go ahead and do that as much as you wish. BUT PLEASE DO NOT INSULT our faith and our Prophet (pbuh). Our Prophet (pbuh) is much dearer to us then our own lives. In Islam, a Muslim is prohibited from insulting other faiths. For better harmony, I hope you could do the same.

LOL! Empty vessels make the most sound! Leave Islam alone and do your fascist politics as much you can. Islam does not need you and nor I see anything that is remotely Islamic with you.

আওয়ামী লীগ ইসলামের বিরুদ্ধে যুদ্ধ ঘোষণা করেছে। তারা এবারে ক্ষমতায় এসে সংবিধান থেকে আল্লাহর উপর আস্থার বানি সরিয়েছে। শুধু সে টুকুতে তারা খুশি নয়। এবার চায়,দেশ থেকে ইসলাম নির্মূল।
I have the following question:
হাসিনা বঙ্গবন্ধুকে নিয়ে কটুক্তি করার জন্য বেশ কয়েকজনকে গ্রেফতার করা হয়েছে বিভিন্ন সময়ে। আর আমাদের প্রিয়নবী হযরত মুহাম্মদ (সঃ) কে নিয়ে অশ্লীল ভাষা ব্যবহার করে অসংখ্য ব্লগ লেখার পরও কাউকে গ্রেফতার করা তো হলনা বরং একজন নাস্তিককে শহীদ বলে ঘোষণা করা হল। বাংলাদেশী মুসলিমদের জন্য Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) চেয়ে কি হাসিনা, বঙ্গবন্ধু বড়?
I want to clarify one thing. I've been writing about current govt's failures and because of that I heard some are branding me as 'pro BNP'. Actually only blind AL supporters would think that way, as they don't like to hear about the govt's failures. To them, AL is above the interest of Bangladesh. When BNP was in power, I was very vocal against some BNP activities. Whoever knows me well are aware of this. Of course, at that time, I was not part of google group. I try my best to see the interests of Bangladesh ahead of AL, BNP petty politics. People of Bangladesh are much more important tha
