Get united
Tahsin Hyder, Maple Leaf International School, Dhanmondi, Dhaka
The nation is under attack. Attacked by people who do not know the values of Islam, attacked by a community who do not know the values of humanity. They remembered their targets, but they forgot us, the Bangladeshi men and women. We fought for our language, fought for our freedom, and can fight for peace. For us there are two options ---to step up or to step down. Stepping down means being silent, seeing more blood. Stepping up means to fight with whatever we have---arms, pens or voices. It is very surprising and indeed disappointing, after watching the havoc wreaked by the terrorists across our homeland, politicians are playing a cat and mouse game. From schools to courts, from homes to streets, bombs are being planted by misguided youths who believe killing people will open the gates of heaven. They don't know they are wrong, wrapped in mistakes and falsehoods. The doors of heaven will be closed for them who take innocent lives and produce chaos in society and follow the orders of the evil forces. According to Islam, attempting suicide is a great sin; a sin which the Lord may not forgive. A true solider cannot take his own life; he will fight until his last breath. Those who attempt suicide are cowards; Islam says not to give up, not to step back. As patriots we can fight real Jihad against these terrorists who are not a just a threat now, they are our enemies, enemies of our flag, enemies of our religion. Now we must be fearless and get united as a resistance force.
