RE: [ALOCHONA] Fwd: Re: [khabor.com] Bangladesh election results augur well for India

Pls refrain from using the term Islamist. It is newly created abrogated terminology. Like Muhammadan..MOhamedan..etc. U could try..religious dogmats.Talk abt Jewsih Organisations who held demonstrations in support of bombing Gaja. I am sure even ppl amongst us will even justify that for Israel owig to their so called Aamodi views in the name of secularism.
 
Thank u.

Dear Shamim

Certainly Jamaati were dealt a blow in the elections - but it is an
electoral blow and a political backlash. Jamaat is still Jamaat
- they just didn't win seats in Parliament. If Jamaat decided
not to contest elections - like the Tablighis - would you say Jamaat
is weakened? Politically yes. On the ground? No!

I do not support Jamaat and I am no Islamist. Though I understand why some wish for an Islamic state believing - rightly or wrongly - that an Islamic state will bring justice and equality. Because democracy has not brought us justice and equality yet.

So it is not enough to measure Jamaat - or the fight against Jamaat -
solely by the number of arrests or parliamentary seats.

It is the ethical application of government, law and leadership that
will pose the biggest challenge to fundamentalism. This is true
throughout the Islamic world.

BNP and AL - both - must dismantle their cadres, their cult of
personalities, their familial politics, their undemocratic practices
and immoral activities. This is how you/we can really fight extremism
(whether that is Jamaat or not).

You can measure your own credentials by deciding who you want to be
Hasina's successor - Joy, Rehana or a truly national leader.

Don't for a second think that Shibbir is scared of Chatra League just
because AL won the elections.

We must all join hands and heal the body of our nation.

stalwarts and workers who grumble upon alliance with Jamaat an
infested organization with war criminals as the major reason of their
fallout. Jamaat leader's unacceptability among common people is one
of the major reasons for alliance loss, Islami Oikko Jote and others
within the four party alliances assume similar reason for their
thrashing defeat.

arrest for Jamaat-e-Islami. Pro secular people of Bangladesh
effectively blocked the entourage of rejected leaders of 1971 and
their party. Votes received in by Jamaat on 29th December election
was exclusively not from their own vote bank but from their tactical
alliance partner BNP, Islami Oikko Jote and other.
