Enemy of peace
Cantara Wali Ruhi, Dept of English, JU
Islam is a religion of peace and definitely Islam does not need any solicitor to save it. Because there is no question of Islam being an "unsafe" religion. And really, Islam does not give any damn to the misdeeds of ignorant fanatics. Because these people are few in number and fanatics are there in all religions, people need eyes to see before blaming Muslims. Some extremist Muslims are causing causalities to the non-Muslims, and the Muslims are being tortured by non-Muslim fanatics as well in many regions around the world. None of the Muslim countries approve of extremism. Who does not know what happened in India in 1992? In Bangladesh, too, there are village "mullahs' who cause sufferings to vulnerable groups of people by issuing fatwa. Minority people were tortured in some places in our country. The culprits have to be punished. The recent Hijab issue is another example of fanaticism. Let's talk about France, if hijab is banned then any kind of thing that bears sign of religion should be banned too, no matter which religion it presents. If the French government only bans the hijab just because it bears the sign of a particular religion, won't it be expression of resentment and zeal against a particular religion "Islam"? Isn't it a sort of "extremism"? The Cross bears the sign of a particular religion , so why not ban that?
