When we commit it!


Your paper reported (April 14), quote: "Policemen, armed and wearing boots, entered the mosque and arrested four persons."

Imagine the reaction in Bangladesh if these had been US or British personnel barging into some mosque in Baghdad or Basra.

There would've been protest rallies, flag burnings, marches to embassies & tons of hot air released at speeches by politicians & religious bigwigs.

But now that the incident has been committed by our so-called police at home (Kansat), no one objects. Perhaps it doesn't count as desecration when WE commit it.
