Bangladesh Allrounder Shakib Al Hasan Receives Death Threat For Inaugurating Kali Puja: Report

[MenInG]

Bangladesh allrounder Shakib Al Hasan has received death threat for reportedly inaugurating a Kali Puja in Kolkata.

During a Facebook live on Sunday afternoon, Mohsin Talukder, a resident of Shahpur Talukder Para in Sylhet, accused Shakib of blasphemy and hurting the Muslims.

He threatened to cut Shakib to pieces with a chopper and claimed he will walk from Sylhet to Dhaka to kill the international cricketer if that’s necessary, reports news agency IANS.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Sylhet Metropolitan Police, B.M. Ashraf Ullah Taher said the video link has been handed over to the cyber forensic team. “We just became aware of the matter. The video link has been handed over to the cyber forensic team. Legal action will be taken soon,” Taher said.

Talukder again went live on Facebook and this time apologised for making the threat but asked celebrities to follow the ‘right path’.

The videos have reportedly been removed from the social networking website.

Last Thursday, Shakib was in Kolkata to inaugurate a Kali Puja in Beleghata area where he was also seen praying in front of the idol.

He was banned by the International Cricket Committee (ICC) for two years (one year suspended) after failing to report approaches made by a bookmaker.

The ban ended on October 29.

The 33-year-old had termed the ban as a ‘blessing in disguise’ which has helped him change his perspective about life. “It helped me in many ways and mostly in positive ways. Lot of doors opened for me and I can think about life differently, it’s a blessing in disguise. I don’t regret this one year,” Shakib said in a video posted on his official YouTube channel.

“When a man comes back from this situation he is much more matured. Now I think differently than before and it will surely help me in my life,” he added.

Accused Shakib of hurting Muslims........then threatens to cut him into pieces.

These idiots would be hilarious if they weren't so dangerous.

 

[sweep_shot]

Damn!

The guy threatened without using any anonymity. I am not sure if he realized he could be tracked.

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

He has been arrested.

He's obviously not dangerous, he apologised once he realised public opinion was against him. Just another social media warrior.

Does Shakib as a muslim not know that praying to an idol takes you out of Islam?

Who cares. Not anybody else’s business

 

[Stewie]

What he did as a Muslim is absolutely wrong. It’s nobody business what he does, but as a Muslim praying to an idol is wrong.
With that being said, it’s my personal opinion and i would never wish harm of any sort on him for what he did. Threatening to kill him is just terrible. Why is that guy still not arrested?

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Question for our hindu members, does kali refer to the colour black in this instance, whereby Shakib would be doing black worship, or rituals associated with the dark side? Or is kali the name of an actual goddess or statue?

Kali is the goddess of vengeance in Hindu mythology. Didn’t you see temple of doom?

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Yes I did but never really worked out if kali maa was her colour or her actual name. Or both.

 

[FreakCricket]

Well the problem is Muslims, live and let live man. Just tell the man the good and bad and leave it to God to judge and Punish smh.

I don’t think Indiana Jones is a recommended place to start learning about ethnicities, religion or cultures

 

[Dios]

Shakib made it clear that he didn't inaugurate the Puja or pray to any Hindu idols. I think someone on social media posted an image at an angle where it looked like he was praying. That's why social media is so dangerous in countries like Bangladesh with masses of illiterate and backward people.

Shakib clarified the issue but he should not have apologised for visiting the Puja venue. He is basically giving in to the extremists here and legitimising them and their extremist views.

The guy who threatened Shakib has been arrested today. Exemplary punishment needs to be handed out to him otherwise it's a slippery slope.

 

[RajBan]

Does Shakib as a muslim not know that praying to an idol takes you out of Islam?

You may nor agree and not follow it yourself but you don't need to decide for others. Diwali, Kalipuja are social gatherings in India/Bengal and large section of the Muslim community has been integral part of the celebrations. I expect there are similarities on the Bangladesh side and nothing surprising that Shakib has participated in the festivities. I have participated in Eid celebrations personally and it did not ruin my religion for participating in it or my Muslim friend/neighbours religion for inviting me in the event. Festivals are meant for cultural exchanges and social assimilation of diverse communities without belittling or restricting individual beliefs.

Shakib apologises for breaking fan’s mobile phone, ‘visiting’ Kali Puja ceremony in Kolkata

Shakib Al Hasan has opened up about two controversial issues involving him on his YouTube channel and apologised for his actions which triggered waves of criticism on social media.

One of the controversies was triggered when Bangladesh’s ace allrounder allegedly tossed away and broke the mobile phone of a fan while on his way to India at Benapole’s international immigration checkpoint last Thursday.

The other incident for which Shakib was harshly criticised by some on social media occurred when he visited the Kali Puja in Kolkata. Those criticising the trip to Kolkata accused him of inaugurating the Puja ceremony.

The mobile phone owner Mohammad Sector, a resident of Benapole, said, “I'm a fan of Shakib Al Hasan, I'd never seen him face to face. When I saw him that day at Benapole checkpoint, I could not contain myself.”

“Is it a crime to ask for a selfie with him? He seized the phone and furiously flinged it. As a result, my phone is now broken and out of order,” he added.

In his apology video, Shakib claimed that the outcome of the incident was unintentional.

“Is it a crime to ask for a selfie with him? He seized the phone and furiously flinged it. As a result, my phone is now broken and out of order,” he added.

In his apology video, Shakib claimed that the outcome of the incident was unintentional.


“This video aims to clear up two matters to you. The first is about breaking the phone… I had never intended to break the phone. I was only trying to keep myself at a safe distance [from others] following the health directives in the COVID-19 times,” Shakib explained.

“A curious person wanted to take a photo coming so close to me. When I attempted to push him away, our hands came into contact and his phone fell down. It may have been broken and I sincerely apologise if that is the case. But I think he should have been cautious as well.”

On the matter of the Kali Puja ceremony, Shakib offered up an apology firsthand.
“The second incident is obviously very sensitive. I want to start by saying that I think of myself as a proud Muslim and that is what I follow. Mistakes could happen… If I did make any mistake, I ask for your forgiveness.”

The Tigers’ southpaw went on to say that the ceremony had already begun when he arrived at the place and he spoke about the time he spent there.

“In the news here or on social media, it has been said that I went there to inaugurate the ceremony. I did not go there to do it, neither did I do it. You can easily verify this. As a conscious Muslim I wouldn’t do that either.”

“Then again, maybe I shouldn’t have visited the place at all. And if that is what you have against me, I am very sorry… I would try to make sure that this never happens again.”

No it is not. This is what Woke Hindus like to lie to themselves and pretend that Muslims celebrate all Hindu festivals and India is so great.

Next you will say Indian Muslims regularly visit temples to pray in front of idols , just like Hindus like you visit Mosques.

The Poor Shakib is already apologizing, feeling guilty and getting defensive over what he considers as " mistake " , that goes to show he has done something unacceptable in his society/country.

You can deny that hundred times but it still does not change the fact on ground. I have never said that muslims come to temples and pray , nor I said I visit mosques. I said a significant section of the society regardless of their religious beliefs invite friends, neighbours and associates from other communities in their festivities followed by spontaneous participation. If your neighborhood, or social space does not have similar practices then it's fine, I believe you. But that does not make my experience false.

Dont care what Shakib or anybody does but if Indian muslims or any muslim willingly take part in celebrations of deities or mythology of any polytheistic religion, they are wrong. This is black and white and no amount of buttering and white wash will change it. Islam is monotheistic, PERIOD. Taking part in any of the aforementioned celebrations is tantamount to, at the very least, a tacit approval of the polytheistic beliefs. Having said that, i dont care what Shakib or anybody does. Its their life and they dont deserve any kind of threat for it.

I have participated in Eid celebrations personally and it did not ruin my religion for participating in it or my Muslim friend/neighbours religion for inviting me in the event.

No, this viewpoint is easy for pagans and polytheists to follow because they worship millions of gods and even objects. It wouldnt matter too greatly to them if they celebrate one more festival of one more God. Unless muslims ask them to do something contradictory to their beliefs. For example, hindus will have problems if muslims ask them to join them in sacrifice of a cow on Eid. But generally speaking, polytheists wont have much of a problem. But when you are monotheistic, things become different and more restricted and a polytheistic viewpoint contradicts this belief system.

As I said you are perfectly entitled to decide for yourself . You or I are not supposed decide for others on how they want to pray or what they feel about God. If any of us wish to control that on behalf of others, we effectively are thinking like those jobless bigots on our streets whom all of us love to criticize specially if they belong to our respective neighbouring countries.

All the posters saying 'it's against Islam, he shouldn't have done that', ugh it gets exhausting. It's his choice to do what he wants, first of all. Secondly, if he really believes in Allah as the one god, just joining in with the customs of those around him surely doesn't constitute him truly praying to another god. People of other faiths are always shown participating in Islamic rituals, and Muslims LOVE it, but when a Muslim does the same, it's all 'shirk' and thinly-veiled support for (at the very least) shaming them.

Islam prides itself in believing in only one God. This shirky stuff is what kept Islam away from becoming a polytheistic cult. You give a little lenience, everyone will start believing in their own version of God and in turn become like Hindus.

There is no room to wiggle in Islam.

Guy wants a KKR IPL contract. Let him make his living. Apparently fixing or bribery is ok as per the religious fanatics but a guy trying to set his image for some future gains is wrong. He can pray or act to pray to any God. That's his life.

I dont disagree with you. Let people do what they want. But the boundaries of the belief system are clear.

Disagree. Religion does not belong to an individual, so people cannot be allowed to do as they please. They must conform with the rules. If they want change, then get out of the religion instead of pissing over our religion.

I think only an insecure hindu would use the example of one person's actions to generalise a larger section of Muslims by using weasel worlds like "some Muslims" then try to pretend that by saying some he wasn't generalising.

In summary, since polytheism is more relaxed, hence it should be able to accept various aspects without any objections which a monotheistic religion may not accept and all should accept this. The hypocrisy in the above post is astounding.

They can do whatever as long as they are not bending our religion to suit their purpose. eg. If you are gay and want to have a gay marriage, go ahead, but don't do it according to my religion's customs, otherwise.....

False equivalence.

Agreed false equivalence, as slaughtering a cow is not the greatest sin in hinduism, while associating partners with Almighty is in islam.

 

[StreetSmart]

I think Hindus need to be out of this topic not because he was inaugurating Kali maa ritual or something but Shakib is a Muslim and should know his limits. Those who are claiming Muslims are insecure over religion these Muslims does that, maybe they met some soo called liberal Muslim who break rules so easily by not caring that he straight away doing shirk

Shakib is turning out to be quite a drama queen. He had an altercation in Florida with a fan. He then got banned by ICC. He then threw away phone of a fan. Now this.

He hasn't been very responsible lately.

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

Only a fool would believe that a guy who performed haaj wouldn't know about shirk and would take part in idol worship. But sadly that is the state of the most current day mullahs. They call themselves alims(knowledgeable) and yet are one of the most ignorant sections of the society.

I as a muslim I dont visit hindu temples and would advice other muslims to do so as per Quranic verses of "You worship not that I worship and I worship not that you worship " and "For you your religion, for me mine".

But If someone does visit the temple? What should I do? I obviously have the right to call him towards the book of God. If he dosent listen to me? Then La ikraha fiddin. There is no compulsion in religion as Quran has no punishment for apostasy or blasphemy.

[MenInG]

Bangladesh star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been given an armed bodyguard after he was threatened by a man for attending a Hindu ceremony in neighbouring India, the country's cricket board said Wednesday.

The cricketer is the latest target of Islamists in Bangladesh, who have also held large anti-France rallies in recent weeks following president Emmanuel Macron's defence of the right to publish cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

The 33-year-old sparked a social media storm in Bangladesh after attending a ceremony in Kolkata dedicated to a Hindu goddess on November 12.

A man who threatened Shakib on social media for “hurting religious sentiment” was arrested by police on Tuesday.

“The threat is concerning,” Bangladesh Cricket Board's chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury told reporters in Dhaka.

“We took immediate measures and also informed the relevant security agencies. They are also taking necessary steps,” Chowdhury added, without giving further details.

He did not say if Shakib would receive round-the-clock protection.

An armed bodyguard was seen beside Shakib during a training session in Dhaka on Wednesday ahead of a domestic Twenty20 tournament next week.

The player on Monday publicly apologised for being at the event in Kolkata.

Islamic preachers in Bangladesh say people should not attend the ceremonies of other faiths.

Shakib is the International Cricket Council's top-ranked all-rounder in one-day internationals. In 2015, he became the first cricketer to hold the ICC's top all-rounder ranking in the game's three formats — Tests, one-day internationals and Twenty20 internationals.

Conservative Bangladesh has experienced increasing tensions between hardliners and secularists in recent years, suffering a spate of killings of atheist bloggers, religious minorities and foreigners.

How is it false equivalence? We’re talking about how Hindus would react if Kohli was to participate in an Islamic event.

No, what shakib did was against the teachings of Islam, just like it would be against the teachings of Hinduism if kohli was to slaughter a cow. So tell me where’s the false equivalence.

Kohli’s already been threatened on SM for making a video just for saying not to use fire crackers on Diwali.

How about clearly condemn the action of the guy who made the death threat?

You called out Shakib for being a drama queen and being irresponsible. Let's balance it out a little.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Question for our hindu members, does kali refer to the colour black in this instance, whereby Shakib would be doing black worship, or rituals associated with the dark side? Or is kali the name of an actual goddess or statue?

Never did get a clear answer to this so just wondering is Kali a name or is it associated with the colour (black obviously).

 

[sweep_shot]

Shakib has always been a drama queen (multiple controversies). I mentioned on my post why I think that's the case.

Regarding condemnation of the action, I think this guy crossed the line and should be arrested/disciplined. End of story.

I hope I have answered your query. This should be my final response about this.

 

[Itachi]

Kali is the goddess. The color is dark blue (not black).

She is a form (avatar) of wife of shiva (one of the three main gods of Hinduism). She appears at different stories to destroy most powerful ashuras (evil).

Depends on the context. If we are talking about kali Puja, then it's about the worshipping the goddess.

If you take the perspective of time, then ashuras, devas all take different form in symbolism.
