Monarchy ka taluq administration se hai, par idols ka taluq Toheed se hai.
Banao idols apne leaders ka phir unki pooja karo aur phr Allah ko man'ne se inkar karo..
If Bangladesh and Japan erects statues they are not going to ask permission from other countries.
Especially from half-educated Muslims who don't even understand the
spirit of their own religion, and only go by
written dogma. People who only know how to settle differences using bombs and bullets, and not by civilized discussion and disagreement.
With that line of reasoning, please go raise issues with Islamic countries like Indonesia who have statues all over the place.
The Honorable founder of Indonesia Soekarno's statues are all over Indonesia. I don't think we in Bangladesh have to take lessons from some backwater person on how to be Muslims - Thank You.
Let people follow Islam how they like, and stop being the decider for them.
Islam is belief in people's hearts to follow their own God concomitant to their own level of spirituality, it is not a rigid dogma to discriminate against other Muslims or to force conversion of followers other than of Islam.
That Wahhabi sh*t never played well in Bangladesh or even entire SE Asia. It runs counter to the tolerant philosophy of people in SE Asia.
Most conversions to Buddhist people in Eastern India (including Bangladesh) were because of the influence of Sufi saints (mainly in North Bengal, Khulna, Chittagong and Sylhet) who were against feudalism and forced conversions. People were converted because they saw good examples of proper Muslims in front of them, and not by the power of the sword.
