Misguided militants
As a sort of follow-up to the August 17 series bomb attacks across the country, the recent suicidal bomb blasts have dealt a serious blow to the deteriorating law and order situation of the country. The security of the general public and the stability of the country and the society have been jeopardised by the terrorist activities undertaken by a handful of misguided and misled people who have engaged themselves in the ridiculous task of establishing Islamic rule of law on this soil. But is it a proper way to fulfil their mission? Do their activities conform to the true spirit of Islam? Did any prophet, any Islamic thinker or leader show them the path they are traversing? Has Islam taught them to create anarchy, chaos, conflicts and panic in the society killing innocent people and destroying public property? Of course not. In fact, these off-track miscreants are absolutely devoid of any knowledge of the teachings of Islam. They are the trouble-mongers and they have indulged in the heinous act of tarnishing the image of the country as well as the image of Islam. As a matter of fact, Islam is a religion of peace and there is no room for any kind of violence, killing and destruction in this unique faith followed by innumerable Muslims all over the world. Moreover, Islam bitterly denounces all kinds of suicidal acts. One can never enter 'Jannat' or 'Heaven' by committing suicide. So, the unruly militants carrying out suicidal bomb attacks and killing lawyers, judges, journalists, members of the law-enforcing agencies and other people are utterly misguided and regrettably ill motivated.
In such a situation, the common people must be made conscious about the evil designs and 'Satanic' acts of the outlaws/extremists and all the people of the country must form rock-solid unity to combat and resist these unscrupulous elements who have proved themselves to be the enemies of the people, the enemies of the soil and the enemies of the religion of Islam.
