Our prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in his last sermon urged the people to treat our women well and be kind to them. But violence against women in Muslim countries is rife. It is because our religious leaders have only the alkhalla of Islam not the spirit of it.

Instead of spreading Islam Jamaat Islamists are busy amassing wealth by setting up money making institutions and their mentor Saudi Arabia has sheltered the American killing machines in its soil. We are often given to understand that Sheikh Hasina says her prayers and recite from the Holy Quran regularly but we are surprised when she gives carte blanche to her golden boys to do whatever they wish.

Hence police think twice before taking any case whether the crime was perpetrated by those marked boys or by others. The immunity enjoyed by those boys leads to crime after crime like eve teasing, raping, killing and racketeering.

I hope sheikh Hasina will not read the Holy Quran just as a habit but to take instructions from it and act according. Only then crime against women, men and humanity will stop and people of this God forsaken land will find the long eluded peace.
