Uncalled-for violence

I was extremely disappointed that hartal was called on 23 rd September. This is like punishing Bangladeshis for something they had nothing to do with. Police vehicles were damaged and set on fire. These vehicles have been bought with the taxpayers' money. I see no justification for this. All this has nothing to do with Islam. By displaying violence Muslims are falling into the trap that has been set by the very people who show disrespect to our religion. Please realise that this is exactly what they want us to do. All the violence is being shown on CNN, BBC, Al-Jazeera and so on. Action like this is what prompts the UN to blacklist us as a violent and extremist nation. I urge the Muslims all over the world not to fall into the trap. By being violent, we become no better than them. Aminur Rahim New DOHS, Mohakhali Dhaka ***************** The recent controversial film depicting our Prophet Muhammad(sm) in an offensive manner incited surge of unrest all over the globe. Indeed it is an idiotic film where the 13-minute trailer has portrayed our beloved Prophet(sm) in the vilest possible manner! But the way we are protesting is not logical at all because damaging public transports will never have any effect on the Americans. Islam never permits such ruthless violence. The great Prophet(sm) himself was compassionate and merciful. So destroying public vehicles or attacking the police is only violence against our own existence. Md. Nazmus Sakib Nayeem Rangpur
