The Sword of Omar Bin Khatab (RD) and what he would have done if he had seen injustice

 

If Omar Bin khattab (RD) was with us, what would have been his reaction on 28 Feb and 6^th of May? Most probably he would have run for his sword and chopped the head off the perpetrators. And this is true of him, for the man never gave a second thought to crime and injustice. In modern Bangladesh, we had a man (but not anyway comparable to companion of the prophet (SM) as they were the best of men) by the name Major Farouque, when he had seen injustice, he did not delegate the job to others, but took action himself and reportedly had said to his colleagues,” you are either with me or without me, but I have decided on the action, even if you decide not to come” and that man had done what others would have been too scared to do. He was true to his word, where others would have faltered on the mission.

 

Now, here is an example of a man, when he saw injustice, he left it to others and gave himself up to the Pakistani army for safe keeping in a prison in West Pakistan until his fellow country men kick them out with their blood. Do you we know him? Of course we do, they say he is the best in thousand years, but was he?

 

And finally, coming to the present, we have a man who does nothing, but courts Sheikh Hasina and India, while in the midst of his luxury army life, indiscriminate killings and carnage took place on 28^th Feb and 6^th of May. Unlike Major Farouque, he keeps his sword in sheath and goes for honey moon in India with his wife. What adjective can I give this man other than a fitting word “Coward” and that may be the best way to describe him?
