Dear Faruque Bhai, In Bengali "Kazer Namey Kazi, Kaz Furailey Pazi". From Ersahd's ruling period BAL & Jamat has struggled against him. Even there was no objection before 1991 election. But the problem begin when Jamat support BNP to form Govt. The BAL & RAW formed GHADANIK which we today see A K Khondoker now the commander of CLOWNS crying out for WC trial. But these clowsn never criticize Mujib to let go the 1000 WC Paki soldiers. All these effort & writings are one sided & no justice obviuosly partialty by avoiding histories facts. Let these clowns keep barking. Thank You All, Md. Mostafa Kamal.

There is no iota of untruth that Jamat was on the enemy side during our great Shadhinata judhdha. But there anti Bangladesh criminal acts cannot justify that they are still the same as feared or propogated and viewed by the sole agents of Mukti Judhdha.
It is propagated by all the HUAKKA HUA KHEK SHIALS(The jibis/Shoe jons etc)) that Bangladesh Awami League(BAL) is the only party which believes,agitate for,endeavours for,sacrifices for,and totally committed for freedom of expression and press freedom and women's freedom & establishment of Parliamentary democracy through adult franchise.
But in reality the argument that has been shown against Karl Rueger,the elected mayor of Vienna about his hatred against the ethnic and religious minority and abhorrence for individual liberty can attributed to BAL as well.
Friends if we just look back at the political scenerio of 1972-1975 led by Sheik Mujib's BAL what we see. Didn't we see the ghost of Karl Rueger in Seok Mujib.
He(Karl Rueger) unleashed the infamous Black Shirts and Gestapo to suppress the voices of freedom and made mockery of democracy thru which they rose to the power.
Sheik Mujib also unleashed the infamous "Rakhkhi Bahini"/"Lal Bahini" Sheik Moni Bahini/ SP Mahbub Banhini" etc etc to kill & suppress the voices of freedom and made mockery of democracy thru which they rose to the power.
Sheik Mujib did one most treacherous act is that he shut the door of democracy for the people for whom he and his party shed crocodiles tears for years and banned all Political Parties but his own BAL renaming it as BAKSAL and limited the Press freedom.
In newly born Bangladesh,BAL is the replica of the Fascists of Italy and the Nazis of Germany its Sonar Cheleyes had organized violence similar to those of Black Shirts and Gestapo, and its discriminatory principles against religious minority like vandalism in Puja Mondops/raping hindu women/occupying hindu property/discrimina ted the tribals forcing them to take to bushes and the greatest enemy of Bangladesh india took the opportunity to turn them into rebelious insurgents.
BAL never ever believed in real democracy but overtly shed ters for that. It preached democracy but there was no democratic practice in BAL. The Leader or Netri is the only and the only "God" for the subservients. non-could raise their eyes at the leader or Netri. THE LEADER IS ELECTED OR SELECTED FOR LIFE . Hasi Apu is reigning as president for last 28 years though declared to retire at 57(may be it will take another 100 yrs to reach 57 !!!)This is the greatest hypocritic play like the Jatra party dramas.
OF COURSE THE SAME SCENERIO IS WITH BNP/JP(Jatra party of the Liuchcha) and the impotent Monon's/Inu's/Nuru islom/mujahid( not janwar razakar)selim etcetc. Khaleda and ersidda is leading almost from inception.
The hated janwar Razakars practice of democracy within the party and leadership was changed intermittently plus they did never made mockery out of religion. They maintained their same stance basing on religious ideals since Paki time.
On the otherhand the BAL and it's accomplice parties identified religion of "ISLAM" as the main enemy of progress and pratice of so-called democracy,civility and secularism as propogated by their mentor Indi.But the hypocritic action of these mockers is that when election came their Netri had "Hijab" and with Tasbih in hand and Praying to Allah sought vote in the name of ISLAM. Their Netri concludes treacherous agreement with Islamic fundementalist party with the promise to allow "Fatwas" be above judiciary(this is highest betrayal to the practice of judiciary and mordern democratic norms). One of BAL's election poster it was written " Rakhey Allah Noukar Malik tui Allah".When the janwar razakar Jamatis says in the same tune then we blame them?
Now about question of politics of hate mongering, discrmination and violence. I think it does not need to explain that which party is ace in this respect.
If honest survey is done majority will reply it is "BAL". The BAL thru it's RAW funded allied media's(both print/electronics) it has established "hate mongering, discrmination and violence in society and politics". The Loggi Boitha actions are pure and simple example violent fascist face of BAL.The dangerous damamge it has done to the nation they claim as the sole agent of Mukti Judhdha is divided the nation into "Chetona/non Chetona".
It is widely believed that BAL's chetona is for tolpibahokota of Hindustan and defame own people and religion. Despite hundred and one atrocious acts(violation of int'l laws by Hindustan against Bangladesh but still they are the best friend of BAL/jibis. No protest neither from BAL or jibis when Bestial Security Force(BSF) kills one or two Bangladeshis everyday and drink their blood in breakfast table fraustrated the people resulting devlopment hatred against indi and it's agents here.
The tragedy is that when BAL says anyhting in the name of religion then it is equal to Bible but when BNP/Jamat says it is " hate mongering, discrmination and violence". When a Razakar joins BAL(Minister/ BEAI) so by the touch of the Sonar kathi the janwars turns Mukti Jodhdha over night but on the otherhand all mukti jodhdhas in other parties are razakars.What a Bitlami with jukti ???
There is no denying the fact that anybody or everybody found guilty agaist Bangladesh must be hunted and brought to trial. BAL was in power for seven years directly and indirectly another nine years as accomplice of the anti demo Luichcha ershaidda. Why they did not caught hold of the Janwar razakars and try them and punish them severly ?????????? Rather they had joint agitation and joint press conference(netri) with janwar jamati motiur nizami and shared power with them .
The reason of my responding back is that we as a nation is suffering from "hate mongering, discrmination and violence against the opponent which is the creation of "Subidha badi coterie" to benefit not Bangladesh but stakeholder from accross the border. If BJP/RSS/SHIB SENA/ BAJRAANG DAL etc could pursue their political activities despite being overtly proven as fascist,racist, hate mongering, discrmination and violent blood thirsty party in the biggest democracy(?? ) and greatest "SECULAR(??) country India then with no such tainted chatacter after independence Jamat and other reliogious parties be allowed to exist.
Politics should talk sanity and patriotism and human but in reality our politics has been tainted by wrong handling and remote controlling by the vicious circle home and abroad.Churi Chamari, beimani, mara mari,khuna khuni and khunsuti acts have become the nature of the politicians which is serious impediments to the honest practice of the same.Moreover, the political black teeth have driven out the saner people and the vaccuum had been filled with matan/thugs/ mocker/sycophant s. What sane could be expected from the insane marauders ??
Had we had a real national consensus we as a matured nation could by now be a developped nation with right honour in the comity of nations ???? Can we not for the sake of our future generation keeping our political entity intact forge greater national unity as like India.With great hope for a better future for our next genration we should seriously think and act prudently.

We must resist any attempt by the government and/or any interest group to legitimise Jamaat's politics of hatred, violence, and discrimination in our democratic process, writes ABM Nasir WHEN Karl Rueger, an ultranationalist renowned for his hatred against the ethnic and religious minority and abhorrence for individual liberty, won the mayoral election of Vienna, Austria in 1895, it shook the foundation of emerging liberty in Europe (Fareed Zakaria, 2003, The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad, p59-60). The emperor Franc Joseph I of Habsburg, fearing that Rueger's induction would jeopardise the future of liberty, refused to recognise him as the elected mayor. Despite his indignation, the emperor eventually had to submit to the choice of majority and recognise Rueger as the mayor. Much later the emperor's fear was vindicated. The emperor had rightly feared that Rueger's intention, as ingrained in his ideology, was not to promote the virtues of democracy and liberty but to exploit the democratic process to promote his ultra-nationalism. Rueger's induction later led to the ascent of the Fascists and the Nazis, respectively, to the Italian and German political powers as organised minority albeit through democratic election.
The Fascists (1922-1943) and the Nazis' (1933-1945) ascent to the political powers can be attributed, inter alia, to three important factors: (i) the failure of the political establishments in Italy and Germany to live up to the expectation of the people; (ii) the rise of ultra-nationalism; and (iii) the activism of the extremely organised propaganda machines and dedicated foot soldiers deployed by both the Fascists and the Nazis to undermine the credibility of the politicians and dismantle the political establishments.
Once ascended to power, both the Fascists and the Nazis continued their onslaught on individual liberty and democratic institutions. They unleashed the infamous Black Shirts and Gestapo to suppress the voices of freedom. About 20 years of Fascist rule in Italy and 12 years of Nazi rule in Germany ended up with the greatest human disaster in history, the World War II, which annihilated 50 million people across the world including the massacre of six million Jews by the Nazis.
The turn of the event in the history now proves that Karl Rueger, who abhorred individual liberty, democratic values, religious harmony and diversity, should never have been allowed to participate in the democratic process in the first place.
In Bangladesh, Jamaat-e-Islami is the reincarnation of the Fascists of Italy and the Nazis of Germany. Its antipathy like that of Karl Ruegar toward democracy and liberty, its penchant for organised violence similar to those of Black Shirts and Gestapo, and its discriminatory principles against religious minority like that of Nazis are causes for serious concern. The reasons that should have prohibited Karl Ruegar from participating in the democratic process equally apply to Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh. At least four compelling reasons would justify why Jamaat must be rejected from participating in the democratic process. These reasons are as follows.
First, Jamaat-e-Islami doesn't believe in democracy or any form of godless materialism. The excerpt 'Muslims who form the overwhelming majority will not tolerate secularism, socialism, capitalism or godless materialism' (Abbas Ali Khan, Jamaat-e-Islami's views on defence of Bangladesh, p4) bears testimony to this effect. A political party or any organization which doesn't believe in democracy must be cast out from the democratic process.
Second, Jamaat's view on political participation is discriminatory. Once ascended to political power, Jamaat will not hesitate to restrict or even deny the rights of religious minorities and women, thereby degrading their status to second-class citizens. This fear is rightly justified when one reads the following passage extracted from the article 'An Introduction to the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh'. The passage reads: 'Any sane and adult person can become a Member of the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh if he or she accepts the basic creed of the Jamaat-e-Islami as his or her own creed, accepts the aims and objects of the Jamaat-e-Islami as his or her own aims and objects, pledges to fulfil the demands of the constitution of the Jamaat-e-Islami, performs the obligatory duties ordained by Islam' (An Introduction to Jamaat-e-Islami; http ://www.jamaat-e- islami.org/ index.php?option= com_about&task= introduction, p2). Jamaat's creed being the belief in Islam, for any non-Muslim aspiring to hold political office under Jamaat's hegemony must submit to the creed of Jamaat-e-Islami. Such membership criterion is discriminatory, exclusive and unconstitutional. Any form of forced exclusion is anti-democratic. And, by requiring individuals to submit to the belief of any particular religion to be eligible to participate in the political process is against the country's constitution. Therefore, Jamaat is working against the constitution and must not be allowed to participate in the political process.
Third, Jamaat's ultra-nationalistic view is anti-democratic and is a threat to the regional peace and stability. Jamaat's ultra-nationalistic view, similar to those of Karl Ruegar, Mussolini and Hitler, is reflected in the statement 'the psychology of the defence forces in Bangladesh must be anti-Indian' (Abbas Ali Khan, Jamaat-e-Islami's views on defence of Bangladesh, p4). Such jingoistic attitude is a serious threat to the regional peace and stability of South Asia.
Fourth, in 1971, Jamaat not only opposed to the creation of Bangladesh, but it collaborated with the Pakistani army in perpetrating one of the worst genocides in the world history. Jamaat's crime against humanity led to the death of three million civilians and rape of more than 200,000 women and destruction of billions of dollars worth of properties. It's leadership including Golam Azam, Motiur Rahman Nizami, Ali Ahsan Mujahidi, Kamaruzzam, Delawar Hossain Saidi have never been tried in the court of law for committing such a heinous crime. Nor have they ever apologised for their opposition to the creation of Bangladesh. In contrast, they are thriving and constantly resorting to shenanigans to rub their dirty and bloody hands off their complicity in the crime against humanity and treacherous acts against the creation of Bangladesh. On October 28, 2006, the way few hundred armed Jamaat cadres stood up against thousands of angry opposition activists can be reminiscent of the way a few members of the black shirts used to dismantle political rallies during the Fascist rule in Italy. The thousands of rounds of bullets that came out of the guns of Jamaat cadres on that day indicates how ferocious Jamaat's foot soldiers can get, even today, to protect their fervent belief from being strolled or discredited.
All these indicate that hatemongering, discrimination, and violence have always been the principle strategies of Jamaat's politics to rise to political office. A political party whose strategy and politics is based on such principles is anti-democratic and must be rejected.
If we are to learn any lessons from the consequences of the Fascist and Nazi rules, then, to protect democracy and liberty, we must stop the recurrence of the same in Bangladesh. We must constantly remind citizens of the country that Bangladesh is born out of the sacrifice of millions. Those who led the bleeding of innocent civilians, raping of women must be tried: we must compel the government to bring the collaborators to justice. The future of liberty, democracy, peace and stability in Bangladesh largely depends on the trial of the perpetrators of the genocide in 1971. We must resist any attempt by the government and/or any interest group to legitimise Jamaat's politics of hatred, violence, and discrimination in our democratic process. If we fail to resist the Jamaatification of the institutions of the country, Bangladesh will fall into the grip of the forces of darkness of middle age.
