Re: [mukto-mona] Haj photo-ops of Khaleda

Why are you wasting your time trying to find out the number of times Khaleda Zia performed Hajj? Are you tracking the number of times the (chief!) burglars burgling in Bangladesh?

When a political leader goes to a foreign country on a personal visit, it's usually part of a nefarious mission. Recently, wheelchair bound Mirza Fakrul went to Singapore; he is now bouncing on just fine; I lost track - how many times Madam Zia went to Singapore.

 

In my view, every year going to Mecca for Hajj is arrogance, if not sinister act, considering millions will never be able to go there even once in their lifetimes.

I'm thinking of the multiple times our political leaders go to KSA to perform Haj and umrah. The idea advertised is: more photo-ops at Haj the more religious, and more 'Muslim' you prove yourself to be. Especially memorable are pictures of Begum Khaleda Zia and Al Haj Falu wrapped in their ahrams and false piety.

"Muslims are required to perform Haj only once in their lifetime. Those who perform it repeatedly may actually be at sin, because they are crowding other Muslims who have paid their life's savings, and came from distant parts of the world to perform Haj. Just because they may be financially capable, and healthy, does not give them the right to do so. Why don t Muslims just follow Islam teachings?!" T. Tawfiq
