But a different question is pinching me since last week, when the tribunal issued arrest warrant against the ‘Bacchu Razakar’ alias Abul Kalam Azad. I have been wondering if the Muslims should demand their additional punishment for destroying the religion’s image. Why do I say so?
Running ameer of Jamayat-e-Islami Matiur Rahamn Nizami, Nayebe-e-Ameer Delawar Hossain Sayedee, ex-ameer Ghulam Azam, and three more Jamayat leaders are in jail facing charges of war crimes. Two BNP men, including the `famous’ Chittagong MP Salauddin Quader Chowdhury, are also behind the bar. The other one, Abdul Alim, a member of party’s cabinet under its founder, military strongman Ziaur Rahman, is on conditional bail. You may know, all of them are hooked by the International Crimes Tribunal for their alleged war crimes during 1971.

It is not up to human beings to punish for destroying a religion’s image. Holy Prophet (sm) never punished anyone to tarnish the image of Islam. Rather he exhorted Muslims that we should be like a mirror for our weak brothers by following Islam’s beautiful teachings to the minutest details. So there others will be reminded of their shortcomings by looking a good example.
