Following Saudi Arabia blindly
[Disclaimer: When I write Bangladeshi, I mean Islamist Bangladeshi & not common Bangladeshi]
American Jews and our non-Jewish Allied should rally in support of the nuclear deal with Iran
by Rabbi Michael Lerner
Unholy Saudi-Zionist Alliance
A ground breaking deal between the Islamic Republic of Iran on the one hand and world's six most powerful nations – USA, UK, France, Germany, Russia and China – as well as the EU on the other hand had been concluded just a few hours earlier today, the 14 July 2015. After ten years of on-off negotiations between the two sides, no one can deny the enormity of this deal and its repercussions world-wide, particularly in the Islamic world.
Islamists and Bangladesh
An Islamist lives in this world to go to 'Bahist' in life hereafter. Allah has sent him to this world only to praise and propagate HIM. Islamist's main duty in this world is to praise Allah and adopt the millennium old culture of Arabia. He is obliged to try hard to convert all non-believers to Islam. He can be violent in this endeavor which is called Jihad. In Jihad he may succeed or die. But in any case Allah will grant him 'Bahist'. This imaginary 'Bahist' is the largest carrot before Islamists.
Oil diplomacy & Islamic diplomacy
Life and social system in Arabia almost remained unchanged from the time of Muhammad to the beginning of twentieth century. Being a harsh desert land with sparse population of mostly nomadic Bedouins and a few settlements of Arabs with very little natural resources, Arabia was residing in inertia of rest from 7th century AD. For the same reasons, Arabia did not attract outside aggressors also.
Bangladesh Islam Bachao Party
Members of Awami League, BNP, JP, Hefajot-e Islam, Jamaat-e Islami, Chhatra Shibir, Awami Jubo League, Tablig-e Jamaat and thousand of Ulema etc. etc. have assembled in Shahbag, Dhaka. The members of these divergent groups have kept aside their differences and animosity and have come under a single umbrella to address a common burning issue for all of them, i.e."Islam is in danger in Bangladesh".
