Dear brothers and sisters!
We should think of the following issue before making any post in this popular blog:
1. Is war crime a sole responsibility of a particular political party? Are not there any war criminals in Awami League? I know many are there and in other political parties. Why then the sole target is a particular political party?
2. There is no consensus in Bangladesh about this trial. That particular party does have near about one crore vote bank, according to the estimate of EC. We voted 14 mohajot, which does not mean that we gave it a blank cheque to do anything. Before taking such a large-scale job, the govt. should seek referendum. A few papers and TV channels are not the sole standard to gauge people's feeling and perception in this case.
3. Why Suronjet Sen was made the co-chair of the constitution review committee? He was the man who denied putting his signature on the original 1972 constitution despite being repeatedly asked by Bangobondhu and Bangobondhu's signature there. He is great criminal and his crime against the constitution is ever greater than anyone. He should be tried for that.
4. Why should we allow the banning of any political party? Is politics a prerogative of any class? Is it banned in our model (?) countries like India and the West? In India many religion-based political parties are working like Shib Sena, BJP and hundred others. Even Christian Democratic Party (a religion-based party) is in power in Germany.
5. Who are the ministers ruling Bangladesh now? Were they any famous and seasoned politicians earlier? Are they capable to defend the dignity of our motherland? Why this peculiar pick-up, the boneless people who even do not know the political decorum? Who were behind this choice? Sheikh Hasina, the Prime Minister? I think, none will believe it that she would dare to deny other seasoned politicians any space in her cabinet. Does not it imply that they were picked up by a third party for their interests?
I think many other issues we do have in our front now. We should concentrate on those rather than being exploited by the interests of the political parties.
Obama backs NY 'Ground Zero mosque': A Principled Stand of US President
US President Barack Obama has staunchly defended plan to build a mosque near Ground Zero in New York.Opponents have protested against the construction of an Islamic cultural centre and mosque several hundred feet away from the site of the Twin Towers. Mr Obama acknowledged "sensitivities" surround the 9/11 site, but said Muslims have the same right to practice their religion "as anyone else"."Our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable," Mr Obama said.Since a New York developer announced plans to build a 13-storey Islamic community centre and mosque about two blocks from the former World Trade Center site, prominent Republican politicians and a host of conservative pundits have attacked the project.Some relatives of people killed in the terror attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001 are also opposed to the plan.In a speech at a White House dinner celebrating Ramadan, the Muslim holy month, Mr Obama waded into the row, saying:"We must all recognise and respect the sensitivities surrounding the development of lower Manhattan, Ground Zero is, indeed, hallowed ground. But let me be clear, as a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country."That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community centre on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country, and will not be treated differently by their government, is essential to who we are.He told the group of US Congressmen, government officials and foreign dignitaries that America's tradition of religious tolerance distinguishes it from "our enemies"."al-Qaeda's cause is not Islam," he said, "it is a gross distortion of Islam".Until now Mr Obama had not commented on the mosque row, with the White House saying that the matter was a local issue.In voicing his support for the right to build the centre, Mr Obama joins New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who had been the only prominent politician to endorse it. Opponents of the building project have called for investigations into its backers and financing. In New York, opponents sought unsuccessfully to have the building currently at the mosque site granted landmark protection status, in an effort to hinder development.Former US House of Representatives speaker Newt Gingrich dubbed the plan an "assertion of Islamist triumphalism" and has denounced it in speeches.Former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin wrote that "to build a mosque at Ground Zero is a stab in the heart of the families of the innocent victims of those horrific attacks".
The opposition to the project is totally senseless. NewYork city has a large Muslim population.It does not have a large Masjid ( Mosque).The 9/11 terror attack led to death of not only Christians but also many Muslims.We can not understand the anti – Islamic attitude of some senior republican leaders though we understand the attitude of conservative Islamphobes.In any case we deeply appreciate the speech and view of US President.Principle should be above other things for all, not only US.He has rightly said that Al-Qaeda is not Islam.
