Eliminate Fanaticism

By: Prem Prasad Sigdel

Muslims have celebrated their festival with much devotion or they have been regarded as the example of devotion in the present context. It is also commented that Muslims are the rigid people for their religion and practices. They can have been the example of devotion and the devotees if they could utilize their devotion to their daily life.

The devotion in Muslim religion is one of the appraisable subject matter as I have considered. They have given their best to their god as well as the ruler. We have found most of the rulers in Muslim countries are dictators. They have made their citizens follow the rule what they have set. So the Muslims are the devotee of the god and the rulers.

On the other hand, Muslim religion is known as the tough or rigid in the world. This religion has some preset rules or ideas that they have to follow them anyway. It is also believed that they would be true follower of Mohammad if they would eliminate their religious counterpart. The Eid festival of them has just been going for three days after a month long Ramadan. They have taken fasting on the daylight and take meal only at evening time. All of them should have taken meal or some other items on the next day of Ramadan.

The argument is that the devotion of the Muslims has been used differently or they have been used by the religious leaders, ruler and the rebellion. They would kill their counterpart deliberately without any reason. If they didn’t like they would be motivated to finish the persons from other religions. It is one of the examples of fanaticism.

If we see the examples of Bangladesh these days they have been killing the followers of Hindu religion. It’s not good to kill others or if they have killed the people from other religions it doesn’t solve the problem of them. Nor would it prove themselves as the follower of Mohammad. Moreover, they would kill Christians even more aggressively. Mostly the Muslims have been marginalized by the Christians these days.

The Westerns have killed them rampantly to capture the resources and they would have been dominated of being Muslims. The Westerns should think regarding that; moreover Muslims shouldn’t have been so violent in the name of challenging the Christianity. The way they behave has created havoc to others. This won’t be the solution of them rather they should be amiable to other religious people.

If they can utilize their devotion for the social and political development, it will be better for them to achieve upward mobility. They are sufficient with money and cultural practices. However, I have seen loopholes only with their religion belief which proved them as fanatics. We shouldn’t be outsider in the name of following religion in this era. Rather Muslims should develop the habit of endurance which is possible only through education and change in thinking.
