I am amused to see that some members "Assumes" one must criticize Islam (Even when it is not called for) to be considered/treated as a normal human being. I feel this is a irrational idea that should be pointed out. There are a lot of people in Bangladesh who criticize America without knowing much about it. There are many Americans who criticize America because they know where it functions well and where it failed. I'll always support people with knowledge. Any idiot can curse and criticize but there is a qualitative difference between those who know what they are talking about and those who scream without any clue.
Staunch and irrational belief coupled with fear factor and the aspiration for this life and after life rewards makes our judgement a valueless exercise.
>>>>>> lot of ignorant people criticize religion just to get accepted in certain groups. They are so afraid of what will other people think of them that they talk without any idea of what they are talking about. You may pity them but no need to accept such irrational blind attitude.
Any way, Dr. Roy has some good questions about pilgrimages
Who was more pious: my wife or another person who traveled in a third class railway compartment and stayed in a cheap hotel?
>>>>>>>>> Every journey is different and those who reach out to the our Maker with pure heart are more pious. Money, status and journey is irrelevant.
Shalom!

Re: [mukto-mona] Haj photo-ops of Khaleda
I don't think Mr. Q. Rahman knows much about Islam either. He however looks at Islam as a staunch believer and hence he has always a positive attitude towards it
>>>>>>>> The point of Member Roy was about a pillar of Islam. Anyone with elementary knowledge of Islam knows "Five pillars of Islam". It was interesting that member Roy not only did not know about it (Which is understandable) but had the arrogance to tells others WRONG information about Islam (There are obligatory parts of Islam. MUST do). So I only shared right information on the topic.

"KINDLY stop talking about stuff you do not know."
Mr. Q. Rahman,
I know you are here to correct me; that's why I dared to write about Islam.
Anyway, I said Hajj is recommended for those who can afford.
It is hard for me to conceive that Hajj could be mandatory for all who can afford. How does someone know if he/she can afford to go for Hajj?
Just because you may have some extra savings one year, that should not mandate you to go for Hajj that year. How do you know what emergency may arise in future; you may lose your job or become injured. Don't you need some rainy day funds in the bank for such emergency, instead of spending it all for Hajj, and then suffer rest of the life? How much is enough savings for future? I don't know. Mandatory Hajj does not make sense to me, Mr. Rahman.
Can you help me understand who must go for Hajj?
