Recent events in Bdesh....have reconfirmed that Hasina and Khaleda are the most popular leaders. And most probably, AL + BNP will win...if there is an election tomorrow.
It is also true that AL + BNP are the most corrupt parties in the country. Lot of AL+ BNP leaders have stolen millions in the past ... from public funds. They are the examples of corrupt, inefficient,greedy human beings in B'desh. Their families, friends and associates are also involved in stealing public wealth as well.
So...for how long...in the name of democracy...we will allow these thugs...to destroy our economy.....poison our reputation....and.....damage the social fabric??
When we will learn more about " self-improvement , simplicity and honesty"? Which leaders will assist us to create a better, happy, safe society?
Poeple who think that hasina and Khaleda are " queen sheba from heaven "......need to ask themselves.......how often...they had honestly....
evaluated....the rotten, smelly performance of their beloved leaders.
Khoda hafez.

Subject: [ALOCHONA] Free cartoonist Arifur Rahman the prisoner of conscious

I ask all who believes in freedom of expression to send their demand to
caretaker government to free prisoner of conscious cartoonist Arifur Rahman
immediately without any further delay. Government is going to frame case against
jailed cartoonist on February 25th 2008 based on blue print mastered by corrupt
ex Adviser Moinul Hosein anti Islam religious traders Jamaat-e-Islami. We hope
caretaker government will not give the religious bigots any platform and
withdraw their case and free Arif.
The entire nation knows young cartoonist Arifur Rahman draw a simple cartoon
from his creative inquisitive mind not to malice religion but just the opposite.
He wanted to express his view that how out substandard religious trader�s uses
great religion Islam as pretext to ill influence creating a realm of religion to
control.
We have seen these religious bigots attacked religious minority in our country
anytime they can. Calling anyone Kafir even to Muslims and placing a head price
is a common observable fact in so-called religious bigots meetings that take
place in the north gate of Baitul Mukarrom mosque. This the place where its
started from a stick holding stone throwing KAT Mullah�s meeting where they
called cartoonist Arif a murtad an enemy of Islam and wanted him to be hanged.
So-called Barrister fallen Moinul Hosein one of the most corrupt Adviser the
Bangladesh ever saw fanned the situation with the help of his political wing
Jamaat-e-Islami leader then head imam of Baitul Mukarrom.
Caved in state law enforcement agencies arrested daily Prothom Alo cartoonist
Arifur Rahman accusing his cartoon "hurting religious sentiments".
Evidently, mullahs in the poorest of the poorest country have more frightening
influence over uneducated religious population and government then birthplace of
Islam Mecca of Saudi Arab.
What an outrageous malicious steering of such a simple mater by mullahs and
more contemptible action by Bangladesh government. What was there in the cartoon
in Aalpin a Prothom Alo production? Gian Papi Barrister Moinul called it
inflammatory and act of conspiratory plot to destabilize the calmness of the
country and put country on fire! Really? Is there was something of that height
of damaging nature in this cartoon? Let us examine one more time what was there
in this text-based cartoon titled Naam (name) based on conversation between an
elderly and a kid on its September of 2007 issue.
Elder person: Boy, what is your name?
Kid: My name is Babu.
Elder person: It is customary to mention Mohammed before the name.
Elder person: What is your father's name?
Kid: Mohammed Abu
Elder person: What is this in your lap?
Kid: Mohammed cat
To me it is a mere satire of our naming culture, which follows not religion in
its essence but a false perception of religion. I see no sign of disgracing
Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) or Islam through this cartoon called NAAM (name).
Islam and its prophets teachings have been violated many folds more in the
hands of these mullahs in Bangladesh and elsewhere who is protesting this
cartoon. You do not have to go far but read any daily news from Bangladesh and
you will get how the sermon of these mullahs in the name of Fatwa destroyed so
many innocent families. It is not cartoon or books, which brings bad name for
Islam and its Prophet but the illiterate mullahs who defame our religion.
It is sometime ago, November of 1998 Kishor Kontho a monthly magazine of
Islami Chatra Shibir printed a very similar joke. No one of these Islamic sole
agents at that time or now demanded that author of that joke or the editor of
the magazine should be brought to justice and magazine license should be
revoked. Readers of that joke took it as mere fun with the spirit of the section
titled �Hashir Baksho�.

Islam and its prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) are not so fragile that a mere
cartoon or few lines of text can damage its serenity. I rather see it was
Barrister Moinul, powerful adviser of the government who played the role of The
Pied Piper of Hamelin tuning his pipe to bring the worst out of ordinary. Moinul
and probably the entire government wanted to divert the nation eyes on some less
important matter to accomplish their hidden big agenda of the time.
Addressing Islami Oikya Jote (IOJ) Chairman Mufti Fazlul Haq Amini, IOJ Vice
President Maulana Muhammad Mahiuddin, and Secretary General Mufti Faizullah Bar
Moinul Hosein said, "There is a conspiracy to create a dangerous and unwanted
situation," Mainul said, adding, "Everyone has to remain united against the
conspiracy to destabilize the country."
Despicable Bar Moinul the Bottolar ukil, this dishonest man with hidden agenda
since his assumption of power as adviser until his rock bottom fall is made every effort to divide the nation. Getting the mighty backing of the owner of tanks and gun is making him thinking invincible, not understanding his days will be over soon.
I like to take this opportunity to condemn Prothom Alo editor and publisher
for not standing beside Arifur Rahman the young cartoonist and providing him
with a lawyer to defend him. I ask all journalists of Prothom Alo and others to
raise their voice against all injustice and attempt to divert a simple matter
into a conspiratorial one.
I demand government free Mr. Arifur Rahman immediately and take proactive role
rather then fanning the issue.
Thanks
Shamim Chowdhury
