[chottala.com] Students forced to pay 'Padma fees'



Monipur High School

Students forced to pay 'Padma fees'

Monipur School and College authorities in the capital were allegedly collecting money from its students in the name of Padma bridge project.Even though there was no directive of the education ministry to collect money from students for the purpose of the bridge, the renowned school in the capital collected Tk 50 to Tk 1,000 from each student, alleged parents and ministry sources."The teacher asked Tk 100 from my child for the Padma bridge project," wishing anonymity said a guardian, whose son was in class-II of the main branch of the school.

Meanwhile, the government yesterday issued a show-cause notice upon the principal of the school asking him to explain within three working days as to why money was collected from students.Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE) issued the notice yesterday afternoon following education ministry's directive."As per the ministry's directive, we wanted to know the principal's explanation within three working days about why they collected the money without any prior permission of the government," Prof Noman-ur-Rashid, director general of DSHE, told The Daily Star.The ministry in a handout yesterday said stringent punishment would be handed down if any person or teacher or institution collects money from students in the name of Padma bridge project.

The principal of the school could not be reached despite several attempts.

On July 16, an activist of the Chhatra League, the pro-Awami League student body, had died in a gunfight between rival factions in Rajshahi University reportedly over fund collection for the bridge project.The following after, the finance minister said those who were collecting money in the name of fund-raising for the bridge were extortionists. He even went on record to say, "They [the extortionists] should be beaten up."

While talking to The Daily Star recently, Kamal Ahmed Majumder, president of the Monipur school managing committee, had said he would urge guardians of students studying in all educational institutions in his constituency to donate as much as they could. The guardians of the school, however, expressed dissatisfaction and said the school authority was collecting the money forcefully.

"We want the Padma bridge to be built but why should we give money when there is no such rule to collect money from students," said another guardian.Expressing resentment, Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid said they have not asked anybody to collect money from students. "It was totally undesirable," he told The Daily Star.


Earlier, the school came into focus for charging high admission fees violating rules. A government probe committee found the school realised Tk 5.23 crore as extra fee during the admission of 3,054 students.The school failed to comply with the government directive to return the money to those students.

[chottala.com] Govt may accept WB's 4th condition



Padma Bridge Funding

Govt may accept WB's 4th condition

Muhith says govt trying to resolve the issue regarding sending accused public officials on leave. The government may consider accepting the World Bank's fourth condition to persuade the global lender to review its cancellation of the Padma bridge loan.

The bank's fourth condition was that the government send on leave public officials and ex-communications minister Syed Abul Hossain, who were allegedly involved in corruption in the project.

Finance Minister AMA Muhith told reporters yesterday that the June talks between the government and the WB ended in a stalemate simply because of the bank's fourth condition."Though Ellen Goldstein [the WB country director] had spoken of two unresolved issues, there was actually one issue, not two," the minister said, implying that the issue involving the Anti-Corruption Commission was not really a problem."There was a little problem with the World Bank's fourth condition. We are trying to see how it can be resolved."

He indicated that the government was working to send those public officials on leave.If the issue of the fourth condition can be solved, the project's work can start very soon, said Muhith.The WB cancelled its $1.2 billion credit for the Padma bridge project on June 29, saying it had proof of a corruption conspiracy involving Bangladeshi officials, executives of a Canadian firm and private individuals.

The finance minister yesterday pointed out that the government had been considering several options for the project. And the first option was to restore the WB-led financing arrangement.Muhith was talking to reporters at the finance ministry after he received a cheque from Bangladesh Development Bank Ltd in payment of dividend to the government.

The finance minister said he had mentioned many times that there was no problem in having an international panel to oversee the ACC's probe into the corruption allegations in the project. The commission was prepared for that.

Goldstein in an e-mail interview with The Daily Star published on July 14 responded to the question of whether the government's refusal to remove the minister in charge from the cabinet was the biggest reason for the bank to cancel its financing.She said the WB had suggested that the government adopt four measures. But the government was unable to commit to two of them.

The two measures that the government refused to take were to appoint an international panel to oversee the ACC probe into the WB's graft allegations in the project, and to send on leave the officials and the minister in charge during the investigation.Preferring anonymity, a finance ministry official said the WB had advised sending five public officials and former communications minister Abul Hossain on leave.During talks with the WB in June, the government did not agree to send the minister on leave, said the official.

Muhith at a high-level meeting last week indicated that the government was ready to send all five public officials and the minister on leave in order to reach a compromise with the WB. And the government had already communicated it to the project's co-financiers, the official said.

Abul Hossain in an advertisement in several newspapers recently said he was ready to take any step since some respectable persons thought his presence in the cabinet might hinder the probe into the WB's corruption allegations in the project.

Muhith said yesterday the government had three other options for implementing the project if the WB finally did not change its decision.One option is that the government will request the other financiers to stay in the project. In that case, it will be necessary to sign new contracts."We hope they will stay with us." He, however, said the government would have to find new financiers to provide it with the foreign currency the WB had earlier committed.

Another option is to implement the project on the basis of a Public Private Partnership (PPP) initiative as proposed by Malaysia, said Muhith.And the other option is to construct the bridge with the government's own resources, said the finance minister.

RE: FOR MR TURKMAN [chottala.com] The West's Crusade against Muslims



Dear Friends and Mr. Turkman.

It is sad to see comment like your. I must say ignorance like you  cause more damage in the world. Act of one evil man or few individual can't take down the entire faith or be responsible. Terror or evil persons exist in every faith we MUSLIM don't call your entire faith a terrorist. Just last week one white male shoot and killed 13 innocent people and many others critically injured in hospital we are not calling the entire faith of his a terrorist faith. If you really want to know and understand start a dialog with good intention and faith, you will see the beauty of Islam and the people of MUSLIM faith, don't judge everyone because one did wrongful act.

Knowledge is powerful and education takes you there.

Mr Turkman

I have been surfing the web since 1998. Hardly came across a one-eyed ignorant thinker like you. I am not against you 'the person', but against your thoughts. Please brother try to read books on the subjects you so arrogantly comment about. Please read books from different schools of thoughts, read history books of different writers, and most importantly, please read Holy Qur'an in your language. Truly knowledgeable people are sober, respectful,non-abusive, and displays humility, not arrogance.

Brother if you continue in the way you are now, surely Allah, the Most Powerful, will throw you into the hellfire with all your ignorance. Fee narey jahannama wa khaleedeen.

Brother please don't misread me. I am not your opponent. I am trying to help you.

Regards

Ahsan

Mr. Turkman,

You are the bloodiest son in the world. You do not see the killings by drone attack in some muslim countries, You do not see the infiltration and invasion by West, you do not see mass killing in the name of security. West is killing innocent civilians, destabilizing political system and discriminating muslim people and depriving them from movement, education, tourism.

If Europeans had hated Moslims so much or as much as Moslims hate Non Moslims, they would not have freed all the 44 Moslim Nations so, shut up.
Whole world is scared of your JehaaDi Islam, not only the West. Even China has imposed restrictions on her JehaaDi Moslims. China and Russia both promised not to let Taliban take over Afghanistan after USA leaves in 2014 in June Shanghai Meeting.
Even Allah is against you because your Sneak Attack Terrorists are being hunted down all over world.

[chottala.com] Treatment of Jews in Islam



Treatment of Jews in Islam


By Habib Siddiqui

Al-Jazeerah, May 27, 2006


To prove Islam's alleged mistreatment of Jews, I was recently provided a link to Spencer's hate literature. As have been repeatedly demonstrated by many scholars he simply cannot be relied upon to provide the truth on anything pertaining to Islam and Muslims.[1] He is a merchant of hatred – an Islamophobic maniac. Period! Scores of Jewish scholars and historians can be cited, including Ben-Sasson[2] and Abba Eban,[3] to prove him unreliable, hostile and lying.


Let me quote from the scholarly work, A History of the Jewish People, edited by Haim Hillel Ben-Sasson (Harvard University Press, 1976), an Israeli historian:

"The height of magnificence and luxury was reached by the wealthy Jews in the lands of Islam, particularly in Moslem Spain. We know that the court bankers of Baghdad in the tenth century kept open house for numerous guests and for the poor. Similarly, the ceremonies of the Jewish leaders in Babylonia [Iraq] and the patronage of the leading Jews in Moslem Spain, indicate conditions of ease and plenty.


"The attitude toward these non-Moslems in the Islamic territories was shaped in principle in accordance with the concept of dhimma, meaning protection granted to them by agreement or treaty… In return, their lives and property were protected and, in accordance with the general attitude of Islam to infidels, they were assured liberty of faith and worship. They were also permitted to organize themselves as they wished, and the Jews fully availed themselves of that permission.


"From the Jewish viewpoint, this conglomerate of Moslem attitudes to infidels was easier to live with than the one that had been established by Christianity, particularly in the Byzantine Empire. As we have noted above, for hundreds of years the overwhelming majority of Jews lived in the Islamic territories. Although it is possible to perceive some Christian impact on the Moslem attitude towards non-believers and even towards the Christians themselves, the moderation with which the Moslems applied this influence proved to be of great importance to the majority of Jewry over a long period. Unlike the masses of Christians and pagans who joined the Moslems over the first half century or so, the overwhelming majority of the Jews under Moslem rule held firmly to their own faith."[4]


As to the settlement and economic activity in the 16th and 17th centuries and the establishment of the Sephardic Diaspora in the Ottoman Empire, the above book states: "A considerable stream of exiles from Spain overflowed into the Ottoman Empire. Once the latter had annexed Erez Yisrael, it became a lodestone for Marranos who wished to repent and return to their former faith…. The sultan at the time of the expulsion, Bayezid, welcomed the refugees fleeing from the fanatical Christians. As recorded by a Jewish contemporary 'the Sultan sent men ahead, and spread the word through his kingdom in writing as well, declaring that none of his officers in any of his cities dare to drive the Jews out or expel them, but all of them were to welcome the Jews cordially.' It can be assumed that this imperial protection and the order granting right of domicile were issued through the influence of the leaders of the long-established Jewish community in the Ottoman Empire… Success was not restricted exclusively to medical and court circles. It seems that in the Ottoman Empire it was felt that the absorption of the exiles from the West provided social, cultural and even military advantages… The exiles gradually dispersed throughout the main cities of the Empire. Many synagogues were to be found in Constantinople during the sixteenth century. In this city they settled in quarters where Jews had not formerly resided. Salonika also became one of their main centres, and similarly Adrianople and Smyrna (Izmir). The exiles also established themselves in smaller cities. Expulsions from southern Italy helped to diversify the Jewish community and increase the various congregations in the Empire."[5]


What is clear is that historically the relationship between Jews and Muslims living under Muslim Sultans was rather amicable and, that even in places like Palestine, Muslim people did not have any problem with Jews living there. The relationship soured only after the Balfour Declaration (1917) when the British allowed European Jews to colonize Palestine.[6]


As to the matter of jizya imposed on Jews, one simply has to read European history about what had happened to the European Jewry who sought protection from the Christian royalty in the medieval times. In return for royal protection during the first two Crusades, German Jews were made 'serfs of the Imperial Chamber' and were required to pay vast sums of 'protection money' for this privilege. Those Jews eventually became a very real source of royal revenue. As the king's property, they could be – and were – bought, loaned and sold, to pay off creditors. The custom spread to other European countries. Church leaders justified this status theologically on the basis of earlier Church teaching that the Jews were doomed to eternal servitude for having crucified their lord – Jesus Christ.[7]


Unfortunately, the protection for which the Jews paid such a hefty price in Europe did not always materialize. For instance, before setting out for the 3rd Crusade the Crusaders plundered the possessions of the Jews, who had fled into the royal castle where they were besieged by the warriors – many of whom were deeply in debt to their quarry. In York, England, the climax was reached when a stone, thrown from the castle, killed a Christian monk. A battle cry was raised urging the people to "destroy the enemies of Christ." When the Jews saw the fury of the besiegers and felt their fate to be sealed, they took their own lives, cutting one another's throats. When the mobs gained access to the tower, the few Jews left, who begged for baptism and deliverance, were slaughtered. The total casualties have been estimated variously from 500 to 1500. From this scene of carnage, the attackers converged on the cathedral and burned all the records of financial obligations to the Jews kept in its archives.[8]


Writing in 1135, the French scholar Pierre Abelard has a European Jew in "Dialogue between a Philosopher, a Jew, and a Christian" speak these words: "No nation has ever suffered so much for God. Dispersed among all nations, without king or secular ruler, the Jews are oppressed with heavy taxes as if they had to repurchase their very lives every day. To mistreat the Jews is considered a deed pleasing to God. Such imprisonment as is endured by the Jews can be conceived by the Christians only as a sign of God's utter wrath. The life of the Jews is in the hands of their worst enemies. Even in their sleep they are plagued by nightmares. Heaven is their only place of refuge. If they want to travel to the nearest town, they have to buy protection with the high sums of money from the Christian rulers who actually wish for their death so that they can confiscate their possessions. The Jews cannot own land or vineyards because there is nobody to vouch for their safekeeping. Thus, all that is left them as a means of livelihood is the business of money-lending, and this in turn brings the hatred of Christians upon them."[9]


Bottom line: the status of a dhimmi in a Muslim-run state was much better compared to that of a Jew living in Christian-run Europe.

There is no denying that the Jewish tribe of Bani Quraiza was punished by the Prophet of Islam. But can Muhammad (S) be blamed for their treason? They were punished not for rejecting Muhammad (S) as the last Prophet (nabi) of Allah, but for their confessed crime against the nascent Islamic state, and judged by their own laws, by their appointed judge. My question is: was Musa [Moses] (AS) more merciful to the Jews when he and his faithful disciples killed 3000 misguided Children of Israel (Exodus 32:28)? [See Md. Saidul Islam's "Were the Jews maltreated by Prophet Muhammad, or vice-versa?" for a good analysis.]


A closer scrutiny will show that the verses in the Qur'an that castigated Jews of Madinah for their nefarious activities were comparatively milder than those found in the Bible (see, e.g., the Books of Isaiah, Micah, Hosea and Ezekiel, and especially those of Jesus in the so-called NT).[10]
