The New Nation - Internet Edition

Terrorist work must be condemned and brought to justice from all regions of the world. Yet, race and all people of Islam should not be considered as terrorists, that is, all religions have waged war in the old days and now; do we still hold the people of today, at fault for their ancestors fault? We do not.

Prof. Dr. Mohammad Yunus spoke during the Noble prize award ceremony day, and said that with all the present crises in the world, we must dig out the root cause of all these deprived conditions and develop a plan to eliminate it without blaming them for their religion, race, social standing,or history.

Let us have fruitful dialogue amongst each other and respect our Democratic rights like the UN Charter of Self Determination.

Many people are suffering oppression from a greater power and are susceptible to the sovereignty of neighboring countries or some are still fighting for their independence like Chechnya from Russia. The so-called ethnic cleansing that countries are advocating for converting or wiping out the language and culture of people like the Uyghur in China are preposterous. This is also an act of terrorism, if you consider their conditions.

Let us hear their music and work on improving ourselves, so in turn, the world will take example and sit together to settle their problems through dialogue. Let us establish ourselves with peace and not take pieces of each other.

Let us start the new year with a fresh mind and determined valor. Thank you very much.

Prof. Dr. Mohammad Zubayer
