Topic: Bangladesh considering abandoning Islam as its official religion (Read 3530 times)

i do not think its true because Bangladseh always supported Islam and one day soon they will accept that reality.
because at last Islam would be the last remaining religion in this world.

Bangladesh Government killed many of religional leaders in country. They were old men..

If that is passed then it is a good sign. Hopefully there would come a time that all peoples can unite in one common humanity regardless of creed.

You shit everywhere your lies behind your keyboard.

So according to you, Islam must be the official religion because 85% of the Bangladeshis are Muslim? I am confused. If that is the case, then why are you demanding Shakira law in European nations, where more than 85% of the population is Christian? Christianity must be the official religion and Christian laws must be applicable, isn't it?

The Payza money transfer system out of Canada has some kind of close relationship with Bangladesh. Perhaps Payza is owned by wealthy government people of Bangladesh who would like to see freedom of religion stressed in Bangladesh so that they can make more money for the people of Bangladesh. After all, if you are running a country, and the country has financial greatness, your wealth goes up right along with it.

85% people,s religion is Islam of Bangladesh. Islam is best of best religion over the world. so normally it,s official religion of Bangladesh. personally I like this. 

Every nation has (or had) an official religion...

America is literally the first secular nation in history


As for Bangladesh, I'd be happy if they would stop murdering Atheists with machetes:
Sixth Secularist Macheted To Death In Bangladesh

The article merely said that Bangladesh is considering dropping Islam as its official religion.  Fat chance it will really happen.  Imagine: the people in power- the religious zealots- willing to give up their power!

I guess one can only dream.

 Imagine the new Arab Spring it could create.

What are you speaking about? Official religion. That only means that government should not be ruled by religions. It has nothing to do with making a religion illegal.

Bangladesh became Muslim majority only in 1880. Before that it was a Hindu-majority region. The Muslims became majority after conducting several massacres and genocides, followed by forcible conversion to Islam. In my opinion, Hinduism must be declared as the official religion of Bangladesh, as it was the original religion of the residents.

Exactly. And I fear if they do that they will have huge problema with terrorism. You can't just reject mayority like that, this brings some concevences.

Bangladesh is Muslim country. There is 85%  people is Muslim So Official religion considering abandoning Islam is very ugly.

I think if the reason behind killing is religion then there is something really faulty. That goes for all religions, suicide sects and other things like that.

I know christians were quite murderous in the religious wars in the middle age, muslim countries were developed farther then christian ones. Now we have some kind of opposite direction.

I don't think that the US fights as christians. George Bush only used this "God told me to attack the iraq" as a stupid reason, maybe he could draw in some radical christions.

And yes, there are powers, mostly out for money and power, that try to use local groups and such to reach their targets.

I doubt though that ISIS is somehow guided by another power. I think they are independent.

I agree with you. That must be a bad idea to remove Islam as official religion. The religion is fine, the wrong ones are the people. why don't fix the people rather than abandon the religion?
we can't judge a religion by people who believe in that religion, because I'm pretty sure Islam doesn't orders the followers even humankinds to do bad things.

Oh sure... you claim that Turkey is secular. I don't know whether I should laugh or cry after reading this. There are no non-Muslim minorities in Turkey. The reason? All of them (Greeks, Armenians, Assyrians.etc) were exterminated during the numerous genocides in 1915. This is Turkish secularism for you. Secularism is achieved after the extermination of all the non-Muslim groups.

Bangladesh has tried their best to make islam as their official religion, but got defeated and then agreed to the values of human emotions which is highly appreciable.

Killed muslims in christian countries are more than killed christians in islam countries if we don't count war. If we count war, then comes a new question that "what they had there?"
Islam also has corrupted sects like Vahabi, Selefi. They don't accept others as real muslims and they are more near to terror and therefore easy to use them for imperial purposes. Christianity also has those kind sects like Evangelists, isn't it? They have an idea to help Jesus Arrival. When Jesus will come? When world falls in chaos and blood. So we need to put the world in war, chaos and blood for helping Jesus Arrival
Christians and muslims have one difference; Muslim terrorists are ignorant but mostly christians are wise.
Actually both of religion's members are used by materialist power. You may call them Illuminati, You may call them Global financial monsters.... Whatever if you call them they are managing everything on world. They aren't atheists but worse of being atheist. They are satanist

Please don't act like you don't see things happening left and right in other countries. For example christians are killed often in some islamic countries.

But you know what... salafism is by now well known as the last step before terrorism. That is why salafism groups are observed quite well. I guess you live in france. The immigrants in the banlieues surely have not the best life and yes some take the worst way out. But this is a normal thing to happen if people feel like it is not going well for them. The worse the crazier the people become.

I know very well that there are islamic countries that live a free islam. No one dares to try to enforce the sharia and other rules that are obviously not made for our times. Most countries dropped those stone age rules but they had them once. And you come on with the wish to go back to stoneage times?

If you would be moderate, ok. I know that there are other moslems than you. They surely give freedom to woman and everyone. You wouldn't. And that makes you dangerous. Depending on if your life goes in the direction you want it to you might even turn way more radical. Giving up and putting all your hope in a life with virgins in heaven. And don't tell me it's prejudice. It happens surely around you too.

Even if you would want a moderate islam. Demanding that for a states religion is dangerous again. You surely know the muslim brotherhood. That is the organisation behind all the terror of islamic terror around the world. (Not IS though.) But not only terror, they try to take over countries with moderate promises, then enforce stricter rules.

So in any way... islam as a governmental rule is dangerous. In general, religious rules in a government are dangerous and everyone needs to fight them. Religion can still exist freely as long as no other persons get harmed from it. So you can still despise homosexuals. But if you feel the urge to kill them in the name of god because of sharia then you would be rightfully a terrorist.
And no... if you want the sharia then you can't claim others will do the killing. It means you would kill others just because of your religion too. Because you feel the religion gives you the right or the need to do so. And don't tell me my logic is erraneous here.

What I want to say is... the islam is a problem when stoneage rules are demanded, when other persons are restricted in their right to live freely as they wish. The islam is dangerous when getting power in a government. Those demanding violence in the name of god are dangerous. Unfortunately you are one of those too.

It's the general attitude of the religion.

I'm sorry for you that you got in contact with such radical persons.

Go on, justify it, this should be good

You don't get a free pass from criticism just because you're a muslim you idiot, no religion does.
