D/sister Kamrun,
I appreciate your love for peace and humanity before any politics, religious fanaticism or butchery. When I totally condemn such heinous acts at the same tone I express my disappointment to a number of people are attacking other people's faith and inflaming violence, I would say. As example the Charlie Abdoo Peris magazine keeps on propagating an agenda and relentlessly ridicule the faith of Islam without a depth or demonstrated understanding of it. Surprisingly this magazine never peruse such ill-conceived, illiterate evils against Krishna, Moses or Jesus, though there were/are fanatics in every faith and there are historical wrong doings in all faiths. These all in the name of so called "Freedom of speech" by arrogantly ignoring the fact that freedom is essentially attached with the responsibilities and boundaries.
"The pen is more powerful that machetes ", by believing this mantra, the pen holders need to be respectful to all faiths, those which many people held very close to their hearts. No intelligent or noble person is expected to hurt other people's heart-held feelings of faith or position of opinion. Where a free thinker has a right to speak their mind at the same time the faith holders have equal right to speak their mind. By attacking or ridiculing some one's faith by pen is far more hurtful then attacking by knives indeed.
I therefore believe that "Agree to disagree" is a key to reach out to the peoples of different opinion. The pen-powered people are in a higher power position to manage this difference of opinion situation. The knowledge or wisdom cannot be forced on to someone at all. By ridiculing or hurting others, no one should expect peace, love and to bring people to their own opinion camp. A believe that "my thinking/ideas are absolute right and all others are wrong and need to be attacked" is totally foolish. These kind of grandiose and arrogant attitude will make the world unsafe, and chaotic for sure.
Just imagine if all quarters tries to attack each other's opinion and demands s/he is only right then what would be the consequences?

Dear Avijit da, I have lost word to write to you. You have donated your dead-body for the welfare of Bangladeshi medical science, but what we Bangladeshis have given you in return, I was asking to myself. From the drift of conscience, I am here to confess that I am heavily indebted to your mukto-mona website that encouraged me greatly to be a poet. Mindless killers should know, Allah is not so stupid that He has built heavens of breathtaking beauty for those, whose hands are tarnished with the blood of his own brothers. Human species declaring war against own species happily imagine that they would bring their so-called peace on earth by extermination of those, who are in their views sinners, not worthy of mercy. But they know not that bloodshed can never bring peace, rather leave the world as a poor desolate planet without a little sign of human life.
