Kabir rejects Mohit

Kabir Sayed	2 Feb (4 days ago)
to me

Mohit Roy's views are absolutely "bakwas" and not supported by evidence. No where in Quran it is said what Mohit wanted to say. He must be in his imaginary world.

My reaction:

Yes, yes. Syed Edward Kabir is correct. I found in Quran something different. Yes, it is true that Islam being the important religion of the world is against the concept of worshiping idol as a god. There is a similarity with Bible which also rejects idol worshiping. There may be many such. But that does not mean that the historical piece of books like Quran or Bible advocated to destroy idol worshipers. What is said as idol worshipers are nothing but Kafeer (non-believer) of Islam and Muhammed fought against Jews and other inhuman force to sustain as a separate community called Islamist and later signed an agreement with them for peaceful co-existence what was subsequently breached by more violent section in both communities. That's the history. 

The point is the world is divided among the followers of god with or without idol and the atheist who do not believe in god. Hence I find no qualitative difference/ rift between the former. They exist like two leafs a bud like tea. The bud is like a  god seen or unseen. The two leafs manifest idol worshipers and its opponent. New world religion called 'humanism' supersedes to all old concepts and practices of Islam, Christianity or Hindu (Vedic dharma). My friend Mohit may be surprised that my learned friend Dr Kabir a couple of years ago signed a writ petition affirming his religion as 'Humanism' in Calcutta High Court with the assistance of his lawyer Sadan Ray Chaudhuri. But Kabir said he is now a Muslim. Yet I don't find anything wrong in it. Because his broad heart and his pedigree has taught him to respect other religions. 

Dating with Khepa

Health has become a problem with the growing age factor for me like old. Sometime BP gets higher or its glucose goes high. The problem of reading and writing has never been a trouble for me what has caught now with visibility problem. Perhaps the mother earth is feeling pain to carry me further. She gave me life to give her back something great something helpful to others and something memorable what I miserably failed. I feel I wasted my entire life and the reason why my mother may get rid of me soon.

While looking back, I feel no one recalled days I left. The green field, rabbits, water bodies, trees and birds and also those village folks - no one is visible to say me halo. The district of laterite soil called Birbhum where I born and my childhood past is also changed. The flavour of folk culture is largely affected by rubbish electronic media. The tune of baul song that stole my heart has gone away with wind. In those days, my aunt would caution for not to be swayed with those mad singers who hypnotized with baul songs to lift kids.  Yet no one could desist me to accompany them. I ran and ran after those mads. Gour Khepa was one such. Khepa never liked remix of boul songs with so called modern music. He died recently. Now TV channels are selling news clippings on a sad demise of a great singer. Khepa has left his legacy of leading a simple life but with high spiritualism flavoured with music. While walking in dark, I search him among the countless stars on the sky

ISLAM - A DEBATE

 

Friends,

 

I heard from Peace TV Dr Jakir Nayek that Koran advocated for peaceful coexistence with other religions and destroying temple,church etc is considered a sin. He referred Hadith where Muslim women are allowed to entire mosque and offer namaz but separately.Islam does not permit killing of other human being on any ground which is gun-ha as per Koran also. Whatever war on terrorism is going on by NATO targeting Muslims is nothing but for oil. Dr Nayek equated Islamist terrorist or dehsatgard with Shd. Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Khudiram, Surya Sen and Subhas Bose who were also termed as terrorists by British and their Indian stooges. He ununivocally condemned terror attack on Akshar Dham temple. His lectures are regularly attended by people of all sects and religions and reply queries. Its a common platform for discussing religions with Islam. Do you welcome it?

Dear Sekhar,

Thanks for your nice information but terrorism can never be equated with patriotism. Is by planting bombs in a local train of Mumbai where poor citizens including women & children travel and killing them brutally .....make them heroes like Netaji Subhas Bose , Surya Sen or Bhagat Singh ? When Dr Zakir Nayek condemned terror attacks at Akshardham temple and with the same breathe he calls them Netaji Subhas Bose, this is not acceptable.

It is true that Islam never teaches terrorism. The word "ISLAM" comes from the root "SALAM" which means "PEACE". In a Sura ( Verse) of the Holy book of Quran, which is called Suratul Kaferun, Allah says " La kum dinukum wa liyadeen" which means, there should not be any conflict between the religions, you follow your religion and allow others to follow their religion. This is the fragrance and essence of Islam. Islam always preaches peaceful co-existence. It is sad that present day muslims ( many of them) has changed the definition of Islam. Now Islam is defined as a conservative religion with terrorism as a main theme.

Talibans and people like Osama bin Laden or Lashkar e Toiba has turned Islam into a dangerous religion with hatred as its key word. After Talibans came to power in Afghanistan, the first thing they did is closed all the girls schools and confined the women folk inside the house covered by BURQA ( veil). But the Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad ( Peace be on him) used to take his wife Hazrat Ayesha Siddiqa to the battle field and his wife never used to wear Burqa. This proves that the talibanism has defied and insulted the principles of our prophet and at the same time misconstrued the teachings of Islam.Talibanism whether practiced by Al Qaida or by Shiv Sena is deplorable.

 

The cry of the Shiv Sena BJP combine and Mr Buddhadeb Bhattacharya that in the Madrasas terrorism is taught is totally baseless and mischevous attempt . I believe that in no madrasa , terrorism is taught or preached. The true picture of Madrasa is that the poor students who doesn't have money to go to high schools or colleges are given shelter in madrasas and they are provided with free board and lodging and they are taught quran and Hadees ( Hadith) of Prophet Muhammad. Can any one show a single verse in quran and hadith where any kind of evil work has been pronounced ? No religion teaches bad things.

I , as a muslim, have a lot of faith in Islam but I hate the leaders of Islam and Mullahshahi who very often distorts the principles of Islam. For example i) in many countries, muslim women are not allowed to vote. ii) in many mosques, the people of other religion is not allowed to enter iii) in the muslim festivals, there is lot killings of animals iv) although the first verse of quran says " Iqra bismi rabbikallaji khalaq" which means " Study in the name of your Lord" and ithas also been told in Hadith " if required go to China to gain knowledge" ( at that time going to China was very difficult because there was no aeroplane or train), the leaders of Islam , the qazi or Moulana or Imam saab of any mosque never insists on educational part of life which in turn makes the Islamic society most uneducated in the world.

I have a lot of respect for Hindu religion too because I strongly feel that it is the most liberal religion in the world. No other religion has given more respect to women than Hinduism. It is the only religion where you will find Woman GOD i.e godess ( Remember, Mother Mary is not a godess). In no mandir people of other religion is forbidden . In Hinduism there is no whip on observing religion like a school examination. Who can forget the contributions of the great people ( Hindu leaders) of our country like Swami Vivekanand, Pandit Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, Ram Mohun Roy. They are really adorable. After Swami Vivekanand came back after Historic Chicago conference, he said " In India, Hindus and Muslims are complementary to each other, without one other is incomplete". What a great thought ! Hats off to Swamiji.

Sekhar,

 

Read Koran, Hadith and history of Islam - you will yourself understand all lies of Zakir Nayek. You should know first that to a Islamist, you, the idol worshippers/ aethist have no right to exist. I thought you were intelligent enough not to be guided by any TV talk - Zakir Nayek or Ramdev.

My Poetry

শীতল সভ্যতা 

হে মৃত্তিকা তোমার উষ্ণতা
আমাকে শীতল করে
তোমার শীতলতা
মৃত্যুর চে য়েও  হিম
ভঙ্গকর

সন্ধিকামি এক যোদ্ধার
নির্মম হত্যা শাল পিয়ালের জঙ্গলে
এক শীতের রাতে রক্তে ভেজা মাটি শীতল
হত্যাকারী পুরস্কৃত
উল্লাস ক্ষমতার অলিন্দে
কী ভয়ঙ্কর

শ্রেনী শত্রুর বক্ষ ভেদী বিপ্লবী বুলেট
রক্তাক্ত করে না মাটি
সে মৃত্যুকে স্পর্শ করে না
তাই সে মানবিক

হে সভ্যতা তুমি গোপন থেকো
লজ্জা বাঁচিয়ে রেখো
নিরন্ন জঠরে

J Speaks A Lot - A Short Story

Life responds from a lifeless object if one passionately loves it. J is my car. It has been responding to all my needs whenever called for. Its an unity of the opposites - a man with full of life and a car that has no flesh, bones or blood. I groomed with it that imparted me lessons to drive in any unfavourable condition. Its strength of tolerance is limitless. Many a time I gave it pains by dashing or crashing with other objects, discoloured it and broken its body parts. Sometime I was able to get those repaired or sometime not for no money in my purse. Yet it glitters for my personal care by washing it most of the days including in dull winter. The passerby would still look eagerly on to it and would regret the cute berry red coloured car moves with damages over its body clearly visible for regular wash.  

Some would kind enough to suggest, " Mr Roy, please be careful while driving it". That meant the driver was looked as a villain and the car a hero. Its my elation to feel my J is loved by others.  

A police officer managing traffic on road who is also a friend of mine started behaving with a difference and would love to tender free advice, "Roy, it would be a great pleasure if I could take you with your car to my locality during Rash Utshab* ". 

I replied, "Yes, of course, I'll be there next''.  

The most fun I enjoy while I fail to stop at a good looking girl waiting on a road side for a lift. The unknown lady would desist herself to watch my wife sat on the back sit. Suddenly, J would raise its speed without pushing the accelerator too much in total disarray to the driver. May be the naughty landau felt happy and tried to appease her mother. My face crumbled pale.  

My lovely J while carrying two donkeys on a day with me, the duo discarded for getting it too old and would suggest fetching a new version for more comfort. Listening the uttered rejection, my J would growl like a wild beast and would jerk those donkeys to alert that it still remained a strong car amid newer versions. While stopped at a place, its silence raised a question at me with its ever open eyes, "will you sell out your own son to get more comfort?"

AN ISLAMIST- A TRUE PEACE LOVER

My mason Shyamal a Hindu sent to my residence a Muslim youth to repair a damaged portion of my toilet. The young mason has visibly attracted to come closer to him and tempted me to know his life. He is a Madrassa educated man and is qualified to be a Moulavi to organise prayer in the mosque. He did so for years in Murshidabad district of West Bengal at a meager wage what was insufficient to meet his family commitment. They are 3 brothers and 2 sisters. He has taken responsibility of his younger brother right from the childhood to bear the expenses for his education. Now that little kid is studying graduation in geography. A son of daily wage labour he shared liability of his family. He shared the liability of marriage of his elder sister. He is married to a Muslim girl and being his husband Mustafa left no effort unattended to impart higher education to his wife who is also a college goer. Mustafa understood from his life, the Madrassa education to become a Mullah has no future except allowing Taliban fanatics to misuse his youth against Kafeer, the Hindus. His sense of contemporary politics is also sharp. While asked whether he tried to avail benefits of dole for namazies extended by Mamata Bannerjee government in Bengal, he politely refused to be obliged.He experienced how those few wealthy men enjoyed central government subsidy for Haz yatra in Mecca. He totally opposed to talibanisation of Islam and never supported attempts of islamisation of civic society. He always loved to live in a multicultural society. After the conversation, I commented. "A true Islamist is more welcome than a bad Hindu element in a Hindu dominated India'. He did not respond but indicated his highest faith in humanism. 

Taslima Nasreen & friends

She made a fun of words in blogspot.com for so called destruction of the world today as told by Mayan civilisation . She lambasted Islam and discarded obsessions of religion and upheld her faith in modern day science & technology. I replied and suggested her to be equally violent like dreaded militant outfits of Taliban, Al-Quaeda, Laskar-e-Toiba, Indian Mujaheddin. Because they only understand language of gun machines and not of peace and wisdom. My poor friend Prof. Mohit Roy is perhaps tired of staging protest rallies and meets against these enemies of civilisation. My another stupid but bosom friend unfortunately with a Muslim name and title working as a plant doctor also widely regarded in North Bengal University as a lovely 'Sir' expressed his anguish while I showed a little trust on a party like BJP despite its win in Gujarat but failed in Himachal Pradesh. The politically innocent 'Sir' once appeased Mamata ji as Ma Durga but now turned to her another foe, the BJP. He even wrote on a net screen justifying causes to be its secular standing and expressed regret for keeping safe distance by Mamata ji with it for Muslim vote. My three friends viz. Mohit, Taslima and Dr. Kabir are on the same kind of boat sailing and searching in their own ways for a world of love and peace.
