Bangladesh considering abandoning Islam as its official religion

Prejudice prejudice prejudice! 

That pretty much sums up any post you make quite well.

So many people are prejudiced about Islam. Whereas they don't know anything about Islam. Hearsays only, islamophobic media words.
I live in a country has secular system.

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.

I'm not sure if this is good decision.
If Bangladesh have serious issues with some radicals from Islam, they should stop and persecute this people, not criminalize and judge whole religion.
Can institution or religion as organization be responsible for individual acts of all Muslim people?
I don't think so.
Each person should be responsible for his own acts, not whole organization.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

[AzibLala007]

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.
