Please be peaceful and don’t violate law

On this World Peace Day, I am submissively requesting all not make our dearest Bangladesh a place of violence, a den of terrorists in any excuse.
This country is ours, we all love our motherland very much .So in the wake of the publication of a cartoon in Bangla daily Prothom Alo and the Eid issue of Bangla magazine ‘Saptahik 2000” for an objectionable article hurting the religious sentiments of the Muslims, no one should try to make it a issue .
Since the authorities of the publications have apologized to all concerned , even they are ready to beg pardon appearing in the court , no one should trigger the tense situation further .
Islam is a religion of absolute peace . We should restrain ourselves from doing any activities which show Islam as non-tolerance tour non-Muslims friend across the world.
As a peaceful Muslim , I am again requesting my all Muslims not to violate the law of the country.
Besides I urge to all the media to be more careful in publishing such reports or any other publication so that it does not hurt sentiment of any religious people .
Muslim , Hindu, Christian ,Buddhist , we all are brother and a creation of Almighty Allah.
