(Soborno “Issac” Bari is very intelligent. He knows a bit about terrorism too – mostly about Muslim terrorists. He needs to learn a lot about other terrorists too, that is, Hindu, Jewish, Christian, and others, Not to forget the greatest terrorist the world has ever seen, the United States. Dr Martin Luther King Jr. described the US thus:
But they asked—and rightly so—what about Vietnam? They asked if our own nation wasn’t using massive doses of violence to solve its problems, to bring about the changes it wanted. Their questions hit home, and I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today—my own government. For the sake of those boys, for the sake of this government, for the sake of hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent.) (Video, transcript, extracts. Editor, Globeistan)
Seven-year-old Soborno’s 70-page book, The Love, relates 10 stories which are a child’s clarion call for communal harmony, religious tolerance and world peace
“How can I solve math problems when Taliban terrorists kill 130 school children in Peshawar? How can I solve physics problems when Islamic State militants kill 29 at the Holey Artisan bakery [in Dhaka]? How can I solve chemistry problems when Jaish-e-Muhammad terrorists kill 40 Indian soldiers in Pulwama?” says Bangladeshi-American child prodigy Soborno ‘Isaac’ Bari, all of seven years and already famous for his precocious ability in solving complex mathematics and physics problems.
The U.S.-based Soborno, who has penned a 70-page book, simply titled The Love, spoke of his dream at the Savitribai Phule Pune University on Monday of trouncing terrorism by inspiring young people to fall in love with mathematics and science.
“Let’s unleash love to create a world without terrorism,” said this wunderkind, enthralling the packed audience with his trenchant views on the scourge of Islamic terrorism.
The son of Bangladeshi immigrants Rashidul and Shaheda Bari, Soborno, whose EQ is as formidably developed as his IQ, displays astonishing wit, sangfroid and humanism in his talk that could give any eminent public intellectual a run for his money.
His message to parents across the world is to stop giving them ‘Taliban training’ and instead start training them to become scientists like Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein.
“On my second birthday in 2014, my father took me to Liberty Plaza, where he worked as a security guard between 2001 and 2014. There, he recounted to me the events of the most tragic morning in American history… the horrific events of 9/11 instilled a sense of patriotism in my blood,” said Soborno.
To imbibe harmony and religious tolerance, he urges that children across the world must be allowed to celebrate whichever religious holidays they want, irrespective of their faith.
At six months old, Soborno could talk in full sentences. In 2016, he received a letter of recognition from former U.S. President Barack Obama for his precocity in solving PhD level math, physics and chemistry problems. Two years later, more recognition came from Harvard University for his problem-solving abilities.
While the president of City College of New York gave Soborno the affectionate moniker of the “Einstein of our time”, a friend of his father called him the new “Isaac Newton”, which explains the ‘Isaac’ of his middle name.
What sets him apart from other child prodigies is that besides surmounting complex physics equations like Schrodinger’s wave equation, Soborno has always displayed an astonishing awareness of the global political turmoil.
