RE: [ALOCHONA] RE: Where is ICNA sending its "donation" for cyclone victims?

Ms. Farida Majid:

 

I fully concur with comments of Mr. Azizul Haque “If you do not care about their agenda (helping the rural Bangladeshi poor) then that is alright but please resist the temptation of jumping into the criticism of any thing Islamic and tying every thing to 1971. Most of the members of NABIC were either not born in 1971 or were minors.” 

 

I do not believe I have directly replied to any of your postings in any of the e-groups that you write for or participate; however, I have read many of your postings.  Correct me if I am wrong, I understand that you are a strong supporter a major political party in Bangladesh and you do not care what others’ perspectives are.  I have not seen you making any goodwill gesture toward the CTG either.  You pretty much have an intolerance towards two words; “Islam and Muslim” does not matter in what context they appear.  It’s sad to see this from a Bangladeshi elite of your statute.  I have firsthand knowledge of what happened during 1971 liberation war and I exactly know what the Jamatis did. Like the rest of the civilized world I would like to see those traitors brought to justice.  However, linking anyone from Bangladesh who identifies themselves as Muslims to 1971, is quite appalling.  It is my observation that the west (Americans) cares as much about their religion as a Bangladeshi does.  Therefore, none of us should get excited if there exists a group called NABIC and they are from Bangladesh identifying themselves as Muslims.  If you do not like it would be wise to just stay out.  Thank you.

 

No offense intended!

 

Sincerely,

 

Nurul Hossain

Dear Mr. Azizul Haq,

            From your postings in various e-groups in the past I know you to be a good Muslim, the kind I am used to respect from my childhood. Because I could relate to your sense of religion I admired your deep knowledge of Islam. So it was to you I turned for help when I was making a presentation on Human Rights in Islam at a Steering Committee Meeting in Boston to the Interreligious Center on Public Life in 2003. (I am a Board Member in that organization).

            That you are not a member of NABIC is good news. Had you been one, my faith on you as a confident Muslim would have been slightly dented. I have no doubt that “most of the members [of NABIC] are well educated, decent, peace-loving professionals and educators of very high caliber.” But they all feel the necessity to wear their religious identifier on their lapels while they are in West.

             Perhaps I can make this rather complex point better by my comments below on Moududi’s ideas on madrassa education feform Please read Dr. Yoginder Sikhand's review of Moududi's "Islami Nizam-e-Talim" first and then read the attached piece as further thoughts on Jamaati ideology.

             Do please refrain from implying that I do not support charity work for the rural poor and womenfolks of Bangladesh therefore I am against NABIC.

 

                Yours sincerely

         Farida Majid

Ms. Farida Majid:
 
I was rather surprised with this note of yours slandering some Islamic organizations including NABIC in extremely harsh language. While personally I am not a member of NABIC but to the best of my knowledge most of the members are well educated, decent, peace-loving professionals and educators of very high caliber. Their projects have to deal with helping the rural poor including women in Bangladesh.  
 
If you do not care about their agenda (helping the rural Bangladeshi poor) then that is alright but please resist the temptation of jumping into the criticism of any thing Islamic and tying every thing to 1971. Most of the members of NABIC were either not born in 1971 or were minors.
 
Thank you if you read my humble note with an open mind.
 
Aziz Ul Huq

 Yes, this is interesting and frightening!

  

I have had the dubious fortune of meeting some of the members of ICNA (Islamic Circle of North America) and in 2004 I had attended a conference of NABIC (North American Bangladeshi Islamic Circle) held at York College of CUNY.  I shuddered in fear at their agenda hidden well away from their apparent love of ‘Islam above all’.

 

Mr. Md. Rahman, they are all of your ilk and mindset.

 

Their “generous and good work” consists of their hell-bent commitment to Islamize Bangladesh in the demonic image of their version of ONE dehumanized Islam. Towards that aim they would first have to destroy the Bangladesh that was founded in 1972 on the noble principles behind Muktijuddho . They envision success in this henous project, hence their talk of “Bangladesh is on the brink of Extinction.”

 

Their “generous and good work” consists of raising funds in the USA and Canada and financing covert terrorist activities and armed confrontation of various Islamist groups against innocent civilians.

 

Hurricane Sidr has brought a golden opportunity to them for reaping a harvest out of people’s sympathy for the plight of the stricken poor.

 

The whole lot of you should be ashamed of your nefarious “Islamic” agenda of fooling, cheating and then hurting people!

 

You are worse than the 13th century ASSASINS in Arabia.

 

You are heartless and inhuman!

You should ask ICNA where they sending their donation rather belittling their generous and good work. Try to appreciate their help, ICNA is sending their donation to trust worthy people and it will be used one hundred percent for the cyclone victims. What you have done for the cyclone victims ? You are echoing with Mr Bahauddin Inqilabs editor who is a big time defaulter with big mouth become intolerant to Jamaat and criticizing for taking a long term plan of two croes taka for permanent rehabilitation of the cyclone victims. We should learn to encourage people in good works.
