Symbols of Islam
At present due to the virulent propaganda of international media against Islam, the religion of peace and its symbols are considered as threatening by some ignorant people who do not know about the beauty of Islam. I'm discussing just two symbols out of many--- beard and cap. These two are very important symbols by which one can easily identify a Muslim. But now if anybody has a beard and wears a cap can't get a good job in international organisations even in Bangladesh, in spite of its being a Muslim majority country.
The question is how come a cap be a symbol of fear? It can't harm even a fly, let alone men. Some errrant fellows with bearded face and wearing a cap are creating mischief in the world due to which some so called media outlets are highlighting these religious symbols as symbols of fear. Can't those so called media outlets highlight that no religious identity can be a symbol of fear?
