For allegedly insulting the Quran, North South University student Apurba Pal has been expelled from the university. The police have arrested him. While being taken to the police station, he was attacked by barbaric Muslims. A group of fanatical Muslims has destroyed his life.

Yet the Quran, like all other religious scriptures, is a book written by humans. Like all other scriptures, everyone has the right to subject it to critical scrutiny. The Quran contains countless elements that can be critically examined.

To arrest someone or expel them from university for criticizing it is uncivilized, barbaric, violent, and ignorant. Apurba Pal must be freed. He must be allowed to continue his education. Those who attacked him must be brought to justice. Society must be freed from religious fanaticism.

People must be encouraged to develop a scientific mindset. It must be accepted as normal that religious feelings can be hurt. Violating freedom of speech and expression must be declared unjust. And all laws that suppress free speech must be abolished.
