Mr. Ejazur and Other Readers:
Your letter regarding Unfair criticism of Jamaati Islami is quite interesting. Yes, it is true that the Islamic political parties are much more organised than the other political parties as in fundamentals they are united and they are bound to get support even from the most secular (a term which we Muslims taught the West through Ib Abu Rushn while compiling the works of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle after the Crusades), but is also true that there are major differences as to internal political decisions as many of the Islamic groups do not agree with Jamaat's anti-liberation stand in the past which many so called liberalists do not logically accept. To my view, a Government that does not do anything anti-Islamic should have support of the Muslims. It is true that Awami League and BNP did not support the Sharia law but at the same time it is true as well that those Governments did not commit any act against the Quran and Sunnah. But there are stern political fundamentalists who would not tolerate any other religion and would frown at Puja at Jogonnath hall and we have to consider them as fanatics and most of the religious and pious Muslims of Bangaldesh will never tolerate that view. But is is also true that by hitting our sentiment of Islamic faith with unjustifiable foregone conclusion about Quran and Sunnah and mis-calculated judgements against Qurantic texts would definitely get the wrath of the most moderate (a Western created term for all agreeing Muslims as the other word is Ismist which you used several times in your letter is also a newly crated western word). Our Women's advisor was ill advised and ignorant and democratically unwise to bring this delicate issue to a Government which is not democratically elected. We need referendum or votes in the parliament after long study and research on the Bill before enforcing that as a law and our CJ violated Judge's Code of Conduct by expressing his personal view as that has put his impartiality into question. Our Awami League was also abrupt into brandishing the act at the Central mosque to have been stirred by Jammat.
It is true that the West are fighting against militant Islam in the middle east but its also true that Bin Laden and Saddam were their creations and they are there with a prior calculated mission to get their hands of land and wealth under the ground. The EU is US's first enemy and competitor and the only advantage they have is a few years head start over another sourse of wealth - the middle east.
The greatest enemy of Christianity is Mr. Bush and for his actions the Iraqi Christian population has fallen to less than 3% which was 7% during the previous regime. Mr. Benedict the Pope is another stirer of communal violence who chose to Baptise a convert to Christianity in his Easter message before the world and are in the process of unifying the Churches against Islam with Mr. Bush's blessings which we can see with his in-person and red-carpet welcome to the US. These two are always making anti-Islamic comments.
I am confident as ever before that the present regime in Bangaldesh is a well-planned anti-democratic power who are there with the blessings from the Communist block from West Bengal and China. Skeptic? If you are, let this letter be a witness to the future.
I have been informed by Mr. Kazi of Kazi and Associates in Australia that our CJ personally interfered into a litigation between Bangladesh High Commission and a business concerns with threats of cases in Bangldesh. We wonder why our Bangaldesh embassy's telephone line was disconnected for failing to pay their bills in the beginning of this year. Surprised? Be informed that there are many litigations against our Embassy in Australia and they all hide behind the veil of mis-conception about Diplomatic immunity.

Subject: [ALOCHONA] Re: Clashes in Dhaka -- Unfair criticism of Jamaati Islami
Islamists have not got it right when it comes to communicating with
other sections of society. And other sections of society have not got
it right when it comes to communicating with Islamists. Everyone
needs to learn how to communicate, accomodate, reform and progress.
There cannot be one law for AL and BNP radicals and another law for
Islamist radicals.
It is unacceptable to have any form of militant Islam in Bangladesh.
Governments will eventually have to clash with militant Islamists
because militant Islamists will eventually fight the government
directly.
On the other hand other sectors of society are just dreaming if they
think they can baton charge Islamists into submission. If the
Jamaatis and Tablighis and freelance radical ever mobilised as a
unified force... God help us! The West couldn't do it in the Middle
East and we won't be able to do it in Bangladesh.
Dialogue, moderation, understanding, reconciliation and compromise...
It is the only way forward.
Know any good Deshi polictians who can deal with this?
Regards
Ezajur
