The
historical background, geographical location and the spirit of Islam
have altogether given a unique characteristics to the Muslims of Bangladesh.
They are extremely peace loving and liberal, at the same time they
show excellent examples of heroism and uprightness. While the neighboring
India has been experiencing the world's worst communal riots over
the last half a century, Bangladesh has been maintaining a very high
standard of communal harmony and social justice. At the moment when
suicide bombing is directing the future of Muslims of many parts of
the world, the Islamic religious and political leaders of Bangladesh
have devoted themselves in the socioeconomic development of the country.
Bangladeshis are one of the World's bravest and most patriotic nations
of the world. No power in the World could destroy our quest for freedom.
This is why, the nation enjoys an enviable democracy inspite of her
poor economic condition. Certainly, Islam, along with the history
and geographic location have contributed to the development of today's
Bangladesh.
Geographically, people of this part of the world are peace loving.
The pleasant weather has made people introvert, philanthropic and
lover of music and poetry. The land has produced many more poets,
philosophers and artists than warlords. In fact, the people of this
region never took arms in their hands unless it was required to defend
their own lives and freedom.
Islam has made the peace loving people a brave and philanthropic community.
Before Islam, the people of this region were chained in the caste
system of Hinduism. Only few people of the upper caste used to treat
the mass as subhuman animals. The people of the upper caste used to
ablush in case a shadow of a lower-caste member fell upon him/her.
This is only an example. The hermits and saints came with the light
of Islam in their hands. The longing for a peaceful life with social
justice has been the driving force of Bangladesh journey towards a
true welfare society. |
