শহিদরা সহিংসতাকে পবিত্র করে তোলে। তাঁরা এক রকমের রসায়ন—যেখানে নৈতিকতার অণুপরমাণু ওলটপালট হয়ে যায়। পাপই তখন ধর্মীয় কর্তব্যে রূপান্তরিত হয়। নৃশংসতা হয়ে ওঠে বীরত্ব, অপরাধকে বলা হয় ন্যায়বিচার।

"Your writing has sharpened greatly. You are a very good writer, analyst and a great source of knowledge. I learned a lot as I don't scan the various social media posts that are fueling discontent and hatred. I think that we are at the juncture of history when Germany faced the same type of problems in 1930s. In the end Germany paid a very high price and other nations suffered too. I worry what costs we would have to pay. I think that we will slide down further and then a change will take place. Meanwhile tighten your seat belts for the great fall to the abyss."
