Bangladesh court jails two Hindu teachers for criticising Islam

[QUOTE="Anubis, post: 8275791, member: 144014"]It would be intellectually dishonest for a science teacher to say that there is no heaven..

Why is that ?[/QUOTE]

Because the only way to say that there is no heaven would be to investigate all possible options that could remotely suggest the existence of heaven(note the term "all possible options")....although it can be done in a closed system(such as there is no Heaven in xyz location)....the claim of a supernatural heaven is "super"natural....the claim extends way beyond our understanding of the universe...or it could extend beyond the existent universe itself....thus in the realm of intellectual discourse unless the existence of heaven is disproved or the absence of heaven in proved one may not claim that there is no heaven.
The same problem arises with the existence of any deity....if you watch Hitchens vs Hitchens debate you'll see Christopher Hitchens mentions the atheist proposition...the first of which is one may not claim that there is no god....but one may claim that there is no sufficient reason to believe in god.

@Rain Man What you say is true...but the reality is not in our favor...atleast not in Bangladesh....going head to head with religion will not achieve our goal of an educated nation...the strategy has to be stealth...it sounds bad but in this case the ends do justify the means.

Why is that ?

Some scientists say that there are multiverses.

Man, you are truly awesome.

That I am.

Beef eaters have got their country in 1947.

No India was meant to be secular and the Indian leaders of 1947 claimed to represent both Hindu and Muslims. Learn your own history.

The Congress clan was never representative of correct Indian interests. Those suckers had a 67 year glee. They are getting massacred left and right. And historical mistakes will be corrected in due course.

Secularism is a concept from west. It was haphazardly applied on India without any application of mind. Partition was also not done correctly as per Indic interests since the power was not in our hands.

Their interest was to get out of British rule...if that wasn't the correct Indian interest what was?

Basically the corrupt greedy elites of India pre 1947 were divided in 3 post 1947.

The Britishers were replaced with people who used to support colonialists in our countries. They transferred the power in 1947 and it meant that their interests were safe even after they left. The system was still the same until recently.

We never had independence since the days of EIC. The Queen replaced EIC in 1857. The Congress replaced in 1947. The BJP replaced them in 2014. Now they are witch hunting Congress. It will be first time since Marathas that Indian subjects have power in their hands.

The BJP will never set foot on more enlightened areas of Indian soil such as West Bengal. West Bengal will remain a fort against Modi. Then by your theory Bengalis are not Indian enough.

Its ghar wapsi which is happening behind the burkha at grass roots.

Read the history of RSS and Congress rivalry. How many times its top leaders were arrested and banned. Yet it has survived.

RSS uses the reverse of top-down approach. They build cadres at the local level, then if BJP is in power, they will set up local base and start membership drive. Food for thought: RSS is the single largest voluntary membership organization in the world even surpassing Communist Part of China.

It's Bengal via Assam. Illegal Bangladeshis are being made to cut off from the Indian economic and social benefits by making checks and balances in the system. This is a Central Govt initiative.

@Rain Man , India or liberalism , none have the gold standard for judging what's the correct method for teaching science. Many things are indeed downright ludicrous in science books. There r absurd pseudoscience that the western world has sanctioned as science for ideological reasons , eg. the theory of evolution.

You have no right to comment on how to teach science if you think Evolution is a pseudoscience despite the large amount of evidence saying otherwise.

 

[Pandora]

We won't tolerate what we don't approve off.

You just legitimised the arrest of Hindus. If you dont approve of beef then same way they dont approve insult to their religion.

 

[Solomon2]

If I was a science teacher and a student of 15 years old asks me whether allah exist or whether there is heaven/hell, what should I answer?

You can answer that science, as currently developed, has no need to invoke either allah or heaven/hell as hypotheses and thus does not address these questions.

Where it is insulted?

Did the professor abuse PBUH, Allah or burnt Quran?

He just said what his beliefs are. How does that amount to insulting?

 

[bongbang]

You should focus on the subject that teacher teach rather than his religion, if a science teacher can't say that there is no heaven, then I believe Bangladesh should stop teaching science in school, because a hell lot of things in science books are blasphemous.

There is nothing that sort of thing written in the science book. Its wise to stick to the curriculum. Some Hindu teachers intentionally throw insults. Its better to avoid such circumstances to maintain social harmony.

Krishnapada Mouli and assistant teacher Ashok Kumar - of Hijla High School to jail for six months over remarks that sparked anger among people in the neighbourhood, reports and officials said.

Well I just hope they don't get hacked to death after six months, by those so called defenders of the faith, when they are out.
