"Bomb blast and Islam are contrary to each other"

The bomb attackers said that their aim of blasting bombs was building up the 'Islamic rules' in this country. But, on behalf of the innocent people, I want to ask them, have you got anywhere in the 'holy Quran' or in 'Hadith' that Islamic rules can be established by blasting bombs? Islamic state can be built up by killing the innocent general people? Of the victims someone is some one's sister or mother or brother or father. Have you ever thought that, that man who had been a victim of bomb attack, was the only bread-earner of his family? By whose salaries, his sick parents' medicines were bought. By that money, his family members could eat and live on this earth. By that money, his children went to school to build up themselves as enlightened persons.

No, you haven't thought ever. Are you human beings? Only God knows.

Your threats of bomb attack go to the schools of the little children and to the colleges. The schools and the colleges remain closed now by the leaflets distributed by you not by political activities. Your threats go to the courts where the innocent people go for judgement. But they have to return home as dead bodies. The mothers along with their babies cannot feel free even in home. They always remain in doubt and in tension that whether their school or college going children are alive or their office going husbands are alive. It seems that the 1971 has returned to us in this 2005 with a new face. On behalf of thousands of brothers losing sisters, I am requesting you that we have lost many brothers during the tremendous war of 1971. So, we don't wish to lose more brothers. "Don't kill more". On behalf of thousads of daughters, this is my request to you that my father is the only source of income for our family to live on this earth." Don't make me orphan." From the thousands of mothers I want to request you that don't take away my little "sonamoni" from by breast. "Don't make it empty."

Such kinds of deaths are not desirable to us. We wish there should be only natural deaths. That children, that fathers and that brothers all are innocent. So, why are these punishments? Are these miserable deaths, which we have to see, the punishments of your inferior thoughts? Islam doesn't mean bomb blast. Islam means making the enemies friends. Killing the innocent people doesn't mean Islam, Islam means tolerance, not terrorism.

Our Prophet (Pbuh) built up an Islamic state without any bomb blasting. He has told to preach Islam but not to blast bombs. He has told about the freedom of people to choose any religion. He has taught us to live with people of another religion side by side but even not to insult them or make quarrel with them. Rather he had been a victim of attacks but he never took revenge when he got opportunities. This is Islam. So, without following your prophet's path and by spoiling the innocent lives, which Islam do you want to establish? 'Try to love people', 'do your best for people' -- these are the essences of any religion. Don't be ferocious like beasts. Islam never supports such kind of acts. It never can be Islam. You can't be of any religion, you can't be of any nation, you can't be friends of anyone, and you can't be human beings. Bomb blast is completely contrary to Islam or any other religion. Try to realise. Try to get the honey of religion.
