I was the first one to draw attention to the fact that Bangladesh ranks very high in the list of countries qualifying for the status of "failed state" back in January, 2008.
Read my comments that were made in the context of replying to the outrage expressed by some of the Jamaati-pasand people to my poem, "A Razakar Haunted" published in the Daily Star, Jan. 19, 2008.

What exactly was NEGATIVE in the text of my poem? My poem may be "stupid" in your opinion, but please explain, even in your own ability to write English, why should it be taken as a FACT? Your opinion of my NEGATIVE ATTITUDE cannot be explained as a provable FACT. Your insistence on making Farida Majid feel ashamed is, similarly, driven by your irrational emotion.
The FACT is Bangladesh is a 'failed state' because of the Islamists like you have kept it in a constant state of flux with your tortures of innocent civilians, minority persecutions and religious divisions. If you care, please look up the Failed States Index 2007 published in the Foreign Policy magazine in the January 2008 issue. Check the 'Indicators of instability' and find out that Bangladesh is not as bad as many other failed states in other sectors but rank very high in the category of the problem of 'severe ethnic and religious divisions' that plague failed states.
Let us get REAL. Let us deal with FACTS. Show some POSITIVE effort on your part to face the reality instead of raving and ranting against people who care about and serve the humanity with humility and not hubris.

Hello everyone,I try to avoid these kind of NEGATIVE discussion and dispute.. but I feel like I have given no other choice but to write a few words... English is basically my fourth language.. if Bangla could be considered as first there are two other other languages before I started learning English so I my not be able to express myself as comfortably as like someone who can write a poem in English or can teach in USA.. I am not sure how long she has been in USA, and how much she really knew about Bangladeshi dirty politics, however, I feel obliged to ask a few question to Farida Majid..What would you like to achieve by this kind of NEGATIVE excuse my language if it is not considered as stupid poems.We all understand, all Islamic parities were against Independence, and we all know they were wrong but, so did USA, shame on you Ms. Farida Majida, you don't feel ashamed to be a teacher in the heart and stomach or USA who also were against our independence and writing dirty poems agianst another friend of USA..What did you guys achieve Ms. Farida Majid in last 35 years through all NEGATIVITY, and look at Jama'at what did they achieve.. Shame on you all, dont you feel ashamed of your continous NEGATIVE ATTITUDE.. shame.. is it that you are teaching to you student.. just how to be against someone..Ms. Farida Majid and to whom it may concern, PLEASE, try to learn lesson from the reality.. Honestly speaking, sometime, I really do not understand, if you really have two eyes to see the facts, the reality... Shame...SincerelyAbuSayed Mahfuz
