	According to Webster's:

immature => lacking complete growth, differentiation,
	    or development
	 => unadult
	 => young

	From your posting, it appears that you believe youself
to be mature, i.e., NOT immature. Hence, by your own admission:

You are: 	not (immature) => not (unadult)
			       => not (young)
			       => old

	Now, consider the fact that you have participated in 
discussions with the Yale and Oberlin groups, and, on occasion,
have agreed with much of what was said.

	Therefore, it appears that:

	we can enlighten, inform, and convince each other
=>	we can reflect with more or less equal/similar
	   mental ability/capacity
=>	similar mental age

	Intelligence Quotient is defined as:

		IQ proportional to (mental age)/(age)

=> Your IQ:	IQ(hassan) = K*(MA1)/(AGE1)
&  My IQ:	IQ(avg student at Yale) = K*(MA2)/(AGE2)
			(where k=constant)

	But MA1 = MA2, and AGE1 > AGE2 (by your own admission),
therefore:

   MY (avg. student at Yale) IQ > YOUR (more "mature") IQ  ...[A]

	Since you are of obviously above-average intelligence 
(as Zeeshan points out), this means, by default, that I (immature
Yale student) am of superior intelligence (by your own reasoning,
of course)... why, thank you for the compliment! :)
	
>And to think I turned down both universities. 

	...would this perhaps be by reason of the conclusion [A] 
reached above? :)

>Nobody said life was
>fair :-).

	Who's this life dudette? Introductions?

With best wishes.

Well Shakil, if you are under the impression that the purpose of this
discussion is to convince you to respond, there is no need for me to
carry on this debate.  Who cares if you don't participate.  It sure would
have been nice if you did particpate, at the same time it is known
that not everybody in the net will participate.  I just wanted to 
convince you that your skeptical outlook towards the survey was unrealistic 
and  it is clear that nothing on earth has the power convince you.  
Once you decide something, no matter what, you'll stick to that. We
think the survey is an interesting thing to do, and if you don't
feel the same way, that's your problem.

There was a request to disclose the source of this news item. I publish 
a monthly magazine. The Dhaka correspondent of this magazine usually
collects news from various sources (dailies, radio/tv) and sends me once
a week. So, the source, for now, is the dhaka correspondent of 'the 
monthly Bangladesh'. But, if a more precise source (like the name of the
newspaper) may be available next week.


** On a different note, Dr. Kamal Hossain is very busy floating a new 
political party. Advocate Sirajul Hoq (?), Mostafa Mohsin Montu among 
others are actively working with him.

IN/OUT OF ISLAM
I do not understand what Supratic Gupta wants to say with his
"trapped girl" case. I do not understand what is meant by "convert
out of Islam". A minimum knowledge of comparative religion,
would suggest no religion converts out its adherents. Will Hinduism
do it? Will Christianity do it? In the sense some one is converted in
or baptised? 
But if he means that the girl does not want to belong to any
religion, she would be an atheist. Coming to the precepts of Islam
with regard to his case, let it be known, there is no compulsion in
Islam. This is said in Qur'an. No body is allowed to be locked in
in Islam. In the history of Islam, lots and lots have opted
out and become apostates. That's fine. But if you talk of Islam's
response to it, so far Islam is concerned, he or she is to be
treated as a Kafir is treated, that is no interactions with him/her,
he/she is to be shunned. 
But, if he/she repents and comes back in Islam, he/she is welcome. BUT
IF HE/SHE DOES IT THREE TIMES and goes out of Islam, he/she is
to be killed on sight. This has come from the traditions of our
Prophet(SAWAS)[Shahih Bukhari]. This is also a simple logic. Because 
by that time,
the person becomes a positive threat to Islam, at least by
affecting other person's faith and this is not allowed. Now,
Mr. Gupta talks of riots in India. This is something like
you provoke somebody to the point of breaking his nerve, because
Islam is dearer than life and anything else to its adherents, 
and if he reacts you put the blame of communalism on him. That has precisely
been the history of the Subcontinent. That Muslims are Muslims,
has  not been liked. But if a Muslim becomes modern and secular to the point
of being forgetting his religion, he is ideal for coexistence. If the attitude
is changed, a true Muslim is no less, if not better, for coexistence.    
On intermarriage, please be it known, it is
clearly stated in Qur'an that intermarriage  with a non-Muslim
(unless he/she is from the People of the Book in its proper sense.)   
is not permitted until the non-Muslim is converted in Islam. But
if someone's heart is broken and feels that he/she is "trapped",
she/he can do  that. But by that he/she goes out of Islam
because she/he violates the command of Allah. The problem is that
the girl is not trapped by being in Islam. She is trapped in 
her own wishes of trying to solve a simultaneous equation system

I heard that there was a gentleman who used to live in Razabazar(next
to Indira road). He donated some of his land to the Dhaka city
authority to make the road a continious one. The condition was that
the road should be renamed as Indira road. Indira was his Daughter
who died early.

	Some potential situations for interacting with Bangladeshis 
        near Elephant road and New market:

	1. Negotiating the details of a garments transaction with a 
	ferri-walla (bargaining for a tee-shirt).

	2. Drinking Lassi near Gausia Market.

	3. Stopping and listening to a Canvasser lecturing on body-building
        tonics/ countering the venom of the Cobra placed in front of him, etc.

	4. Buying tickets from a "blacker" for watching "Beder May Jostna"
	at the cinema hall opposite New Market. 

	5. Seeing rickshaw-pullers carry on non-constructive discussions
	as their wheels get entwined during a traffic jam.

	6. Seeing Dhaka College students make their presence known through
	processions, car-burning, gun-shots etc.

	8. Looking out through the large glass windows of Coffee House.

Recently a netter (sorry, I've forgotten who) mentioned that the name
"Sylhet" is said to have originated from the legend of how Hazarat
Shah Jalal made rocks move at his command ("Sheel hot!") .

However, I remember having read somewhere that "Sylhet" is a corruption
of the name "Srihotto" which was the original name of the area.

Could someone confirm the veracity of this etymology  ?

He certainly is.  A slightly amusing sidelight to the scb creation
story is that I registered my vote on the first morning of the poll
to approve it.  But because we in Oz (even if upside-down) are 10 or
so hours ahead of you slow-coaches in the US, he ordered me (very politely!)
to vote again in order to ensure my vote was valid, as the scheduled
voting period had not begun.

Thank you!  Given my few postings (in spite of good intentions) of late
I'm not sure I deserve the honour.  I'll happily sit at high table with
Dipen and Wasif - the Three Muscatels?  :)

...and when it comes to any battles, I think I'd like Shakil up here with his
lusty swordspersonship as well. And prithee, where is Lady Susanne H?

I think I ought to nominate myself for the "Wait-For-Me Award", given
that I always seem to have about 50 articles to read and dare not
stop to comment....

And I nominate Zunaid for the Human Dynamo award.

Bravo, all!  Happy Birthday, SCB!

'bye from Oz

Denis, who now has 120,000,000 relatives.  (Sigh!)  That's 328767 birthday
presents per day.
