Article from India Times

সমাজ থেকে কল্পিত দ্বন্দগুলো দূর হোক। This is really good article. I think it is obvious appreciation about the Muslim. I also agree with a context, ‘However, instead of investing time in research, many Muslims are busy taking revenge by killing more and more Christians and Jews’. I think time has come to expense the time in timely work. from Times of India an article are published as under- he whole Muslim world-especially the Middle East-has been on fire for days. This fire was caused by a wave of anger that saw not only the USA and Israeli flags burning, but also the killing of many innocent people, including Christopher Stevens, the US ambassador to Libya. Why do Muslims feel so much anger and hatred against America and Israel? Did the USA or Israel drop an atomic bomb in the holy city of Mecca? Did Pope Benedict XVI declare a crusade on Islam, like his predecessor Pope Urban II? The answer is no. So, why this fire? Surprisingly, this fire was caused by a film, more specifically a YouTube video, "Innocence of Muslims". It was privately produced by Nakoula, a 55-year-old notorious man who committed many crimes, including bank fraud in 2010. Nakoula seems to have made the most negative movie possible. The film sensationalizes matters that are concerned with making Prophet Muhammad look bad. It portrays him as a womanizer and religious fake, despite the fact that Islam does not allow the depiction of its prophet. Does "Innocence of Muslims" represent the truth? No. Should we be angry? Absolutely not. Why not? To answer this, we need to analyze a deeper question-who is actually insulting Islam? Let's see. How in the world has a YouTube video, created by a criminal, made the whole Muslim world turn upside down? I asked Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus. He replied with his own question, "When do the lives of 15 million people have a greater value than 1.3 billion?" Upon hearing such a quantitative answer, I was clueless. Yunus added, "Well, if 1.6 billion people suddenly disappear, the world will not be affected that much. However, if 14 million people vanished, the world would suffer very much." It took me a few hours to understand Yunus's analogy. Yunus actually made a comparison between the total number of Muslims and Jews. The total number of Muslims is about 1.6 billion and the total number of Jews is about 14 million. The total population of the earth at present is over 6.8 billion. Among those, 2.1 billion are Christian, 1.6 billion are the followers of Islam, and there are only 14 million Jewish believers. More precisely, I would say 21% of the world's total population is Muslim, whereas 0.2% is Jewish. In every kind of mathematical problem a value of 21% is more than 0.2%. So the world would be in catastrophic crisis if 21% of its population suddenly disappeared, rather than 0.2%. After thinking about this, I wondered what point Yunus was trying to make. This reminded me of another Nobel Laureate, Abdus Salam. In 1980, Salam published his book, Gauge Unification Fundamental Forces , a modest proposal to empower Muslims to re-enter the world of math, science and technology, before they became utterly marginalized. The grave humor of his extreme proposal was to remind Muslims about the consequences of neglecting education and focusing too much on religion, including hatred toward Christian and Jews. Yunus' quantitative analysis on Muslims' violent response to a YouTube video was so fantastic that at first, I thought the analysis was satire in the tradition of Salam. Let's look at this analogy in detail.
