Govt plans to ban twelve militant organisations As the government is mulling over the possibility of banning 12 militant organisations active across the country, the home ministry has instructed different law enforcement and intelligence agencies to take action against the members of these militant outfits, sources in the home ministry said. State Minister for Home Tanjim Ahmed Sohel Taj yesterday told The Independent that the law enforcement agencies had been asked to remain on high alert about the activities of all the militant organisations, which are conducting their activities in the name of Islam. We also instructed the police and the intelligence agencies to arrest the activists of the militant organisations, who are carrying illegal activities", he said. "We are trying to stop militancy from the country at any cost," he said adding, "Our friendly countries like USA and India assured us of necessary assistances to stop militancy." He also said that the government would root out the militancy from the country. Sources said that the government has already warned officials of the field-level administration like divisional commissioners, deputy commissioners (DCs) and upazila nirbahi officers (UNOs) to remain on high alert about the activities of militant organisations. The government advised them to hold regular meetings of the law and order committees in the divisional headquarters and at district and upazila levels and inform the government of the latest situation with regard to militant activities in their areas. The Home ministry last formed a high-powered committee headed by state minister to create social awareness among the local people against militant activities.The sources said that Islamic militants under the banner of 29 different organisations were still active across the country. The law enforcing agencies are also apprehending that the militants are likely to create untoward incidents.Besides, drive against the militants has been intensified for nabbing them. The law enforcers have arrested some militants from different parts of the country over the last few months. According to the sources, the 29 militant organisations which are still active across the country are: Zadid Al Quida, Hijbut Tahrir, Allar Dal, Joishey Mohammad, Warat Islamic Front, Hijbeh Abu Omor, Jamaatul Mujahidin Bangladesh (JMB), Harkatul Jihad (Huji), Jaamatul Falaiya, Bishwa Islamic Front, Shahadat-e-Nobuyot, Al Zihad of Bangladesh, Jamayat Assadat, Horkat-e-Islam Al Zihad, Muslim Millat Sharifa Council, World Islamic Front for Zihad, Hizbul Masadi, Islamic Dawati Kafela, Al Islam Marhutas Brigade, Dawate Islam, Tanzim, Ijbe-Abu Omar, Al Harat Al Islamia, Joishey Mostafa of Bangladesh, Al Khidmot, Hizbullah Islami Somaj, Dawate Islam and R-cud. The sources said that over 750 leaders and members of different Islamic militant organisations were arrested during the last three years.On February 23, 2005, the BNP-led four-party alliance government banned the militant organisation JMB and its offshoot Jagrata Muslim Janata, Bangladesh (JMJB). On March 30, 2007, six top militants including Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) supremo Shaikh Abdur Rahman, his deputy Siddiqul Islam alias Bangla Bhai, JMB Majlish-e-Shura (highest decision-making body) member Abdul Awal and Shaikh Abdur Rahman's son-in-law, military commander and Rahman's youngest brother Ataur Rahman Sunny, suicide bomber Iftekhar Hasan Mamun and Shura member Khaled Saifullah were hanged in different jails for killing two Jhalakathi judges. Hijbut Tahrir, Allar Dal, Bishwa Islamic Front, Harkat-e-Islam Al Jihad, Muslim Millat Sharifa Council, Dawate Islam, Al Harat Al Islamia, Joishey Mostafa of Bangladesh, Al Khidmot, Hizbullah Islami Somaj, Dawate Islam and R-cud one likely to be banned soon. |
After the demise of communism the importance of May Day has taken a back seat. But the notion that communism was a triumph for the working peoples of the world were misplaced in spirit and reality. Communist Manifestos famous call, Workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but the chains, was abused by the too jealous and ruthless communist dictators. Lenin, Stalin or Mao did not have any love for the working class people. This is a sheer myth and a brazen lie although they claimed total allegiance to Marxism and its economic principles, but in fact they mercilessly tried to control their lives in the name of saving socialism. The urgency to chart out a human working condition was felt at the height of the Industrial Revolution in Europe. This was a social necessity in the face of appalling working conditions in the gloomy factories in Europe, especially in England, France and Germany. Karl Marx in his famous book Das Capital gave a formula what could and should be done to improve the situation. The issue was a social, economic and a humanitarian one which needed urgent attention. During the soviet and Mao Tse Dung era we saw huge rallies in Moscow and Beijing on May Day with millions of red flags. Those rallies did not really mean anything rather that trumpeting the rigorous and repressive communist regimes. In the western nations the condition of the working class people was much better than the so called socialist economies. But despite saying all these we must agree that many improvements are needed to be done in many countries. Working class people still suffer from poverty, lack of education, better medical facilities and they also suffer from social inequalities.

Dear brothers & sisters,
Few people including so called Shushils (secularist or anti-Islamist or atheist) repeatedly have been claiming like a non-sense that Bangladesh is a secular country! This is nothing but distortion of the truth and history. We would like to mention that being a Muslim country, we have a long historical record of communal harmony among various group of believers.
Let alone the history, please read the Basic Principles of our constitution which stated as below :
http://www.pmo. gov.bd/constitut ion/part1. htm PART IThe constitution is started with"BISMILLAH-AR- RAHIMAN-AR- RAHIM |
For so called pro-liberation forces
--------------------------------
Will you be nice enough to explain, what does this new , twisted, destructive phrase mean?
Are pro-liberation forces...better citizens in Bdesh, who contribute something/ anything to the common, helpless,
ordinary people?
Have they read the 1st. chapter on " violence-free lifestyle"?
Do they beleive in corruption/ violence/ conspiracy-free community? With more actions, rather than " non-stop chat"?
When they aggressively, loudly attack the IMAGINARY " anti-liberation " forces....do they really know what they are saying?
Have they ever re-scrutinized the financial/ moral/ ethical situation of some of these SO CALLED " pro-liberation forces"?
Hitler and few other dictators GENERATED twisted stories about their perceived enemies and MANUFACTURED new, evil classification of the society. Just ... to justify all the brutal, destructive, inhuman activities.
So - called " Pro-liberation forces"...in Bdesh... are not far from that kind of nasty path.
Best wishes.
Khoda hafez.

While our Bangladeshi Jamaati honchos are secretly relishing the image of the hapless girl's indecent flogging (I could not bear to watch it), and dreaming of the not-too-distant future when they could stage such flogging in every mahalla of the city and every village in the country, on the internet they --S. A. Hannan, for one -- are saying that it is a ploy of the 'secularists' -- the video is a doctored one!

Jamat-e-Islami Ameer Munawwar Hassan Reaction on Swat Flogging
http://vidpk.
Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan claimed responsibility for the flogging. "She came out of her house with another guy who was not her husband, so we must punish her. There are boundaries you cannot cross," he said.
She went out with ther father-in-law.

"Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami believes that the years of Taliban rule in Afghanistan were one of the golden periods of Muslim history"
Friday, April 10, 2009
Harris Khalique
A friend of mine received a text message yesterday which she swiftly forwarded to me with a comment, "Please read this message I got from an old classmate. I feel sad for this woman more than the one flogged in Swat." The message came from a perfectly normal, middle-class professional woman who works with an inter-governmental agency in Islamabad. It reads, "Do not believe in the flogging video. This is a Jewish conspiracy hatched against Islam and Muslims."
A respected and senior bilingual journalist in one of his Urdu columns in the daily Jang went a little further and said that criticising Islamic punishments amounts to profanity. To him, westernised NGOs are doing it for dollars. The JUI-F leader found it to be a plot against the accord reached in Swat between the father and the son-in-law representing the TNSM and the Taliban, respectively. He also blamed the NGOs for blowing an incident out of proportion, which actually may not have happened. Unfortunately, the provincial information minister of the ANP thinks the same way.
But the masterpiece is yet to come. Behold. The new but not-so-fresh Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami believes that the years of Taliban rule in Afghanistan were one of the golden periods of Muslim history. Clearly alluding to the view that what the Taliban are doing in Pakistan is totally correct. Which means that as a citizen of Pakistan, an ordinary Muslim who believes in creating a modern, rational society where the rights of everybody who lives here, whether a woman, a minority person, a peasant or a prime minister, are equal, I must follow what the Taliban say. It is they who can establish such a state. They are the saviours, ones who guarantee a just and prosperous future to the teeming millions of this country.
I make a proposition to Munawwar Hasan and Fazlur Rehman. They should be men enough to announce the merger of their parties into the Taliban movement and submit to the real men who at least have the guts to come out in the open and demonstrate through action what they believe is right. I also call upon the journalist colleague to move to a Taliban-controlled area and be their spokesperson. He must also move his whole family to that heaven on earth, the Dar-ul-Aman created for Muslims. His daughters and nieces of school-going age must accompany him. Don't they deserve a proper Muslim brought-up?
And I am very sure that he is needed as the new spokesperson. Because the one they have now is not suave enough. One day he says that such incident has not taken place and on the very next day he says that the woman was flogged not by older men as shown in the video clip but two young boys who were not adults. Amazing! Young boys are used to flog women. Even worse I am afraid. I am sure my journalist colleague would have come up with a far better explanation. People like him could also provide understandable reasons for what happened in the last few days in the main Imambargah of Chakwal, the police academy in Lahore, the camp of the Frontier Constabulary in Islamabad. They can perhaps also justify scores of such incidents over the past couple of years.
The security establishment of Pakistan needs some depth in their strategy rather than strategic depth. It is not just about a girl being flogged in Swat or elsewhere, it is about the terror, the suffering, the pain inflicted upon a whole nation. The intellectuals of this country must realise that the fundamental issue of our society is not those who perpetrate such acts but the ones who create an atmosphere of legitimacy for such barbarism. Oh prophet of Islam, do they ever remember Taif where you bled so much that your shoes were brimming with blood? You prayed to God for his mercy on those who pelted stones at you. Do they know that upon entering Makkah, you forgave those who were the worst of your enemies?

> Hello
>
> Since our last email, we have been busy organising an International
> Coalition for Women's Rights, to which a number of well-known personalities
> and organisations have signed up.
>
> As you know, on April 19, 2009, the Somali parliament unanimously endorsed
> the introduction of Sharia law across the country. A few days earlier, the
> imposition of Sharia law in Pakistan's northwestern Swat region was
> approved. Last month, a sweeping law approved by the Afghan parliament and
> signed by President Hamid Karzai required Shi'a women to seek their
> husband's permission to leave home, and to submit to their sexual demands.
> Because of international and national protests the new law is now being
> reviewed but only to check its compatibility with Sharia law.
>
> The imposition of Sharia law in the legal codes of Somalia, Pakistan and
> Afghanistan brings millions more under the yoke of political Islam.
>
> Local and international pressure and opposition are the only ways to stop
> the rise of this regressive movement and defend women's universal rights and
> secularism.
>
> From Iran and Iraq to Britain and Canada, Sharia law is being opposed by a
> vast majority who choose 21st century universal values over medievalism.
> Join us in supporting this international struggle and calling for:
>
> * the abolition of discriminatory and Sharia laws
> * an end to sexual apartheid
> * secularism and the separation of religion from the state
> * equality between women and men
>
> You can find a list of initial signatories here:
> http://www.equalrightsnow-iran.com/discriminatory_laws.html

> You can join the International Coalition for Women's Rights by signing here:

>
> If you haven't already done so, you can also sign a petition opposing Sharia
> law in Britain here:
> http://www.onelawforall.org.uk/index.html
>
> We must mobilise across the globe in order to show our opposition to Sharia
> law and our support and solidarity for those living under and resisting its
> laws.
>
> In the coming months, we will be organising towards mass rallies in various
> cities across the globe on November 21. We've chosen this date to mark both
> Universal Children's Day (November 20) and the International Day for the
> Elimination of Violence against Women (November 25). If you are interested
> in helping us organise a rally in your city, please contact us.
>
> And please don't forget we need money to do all that has to be done. And we
> have to rely on those who support our work to provide it.
>
> If you are supportive, there are many ways you can raise funds. You can:
>
> * send in a donation - no matter how small
> * organise a picnic or cook a dinner for your friends or colleagues and ask
> them to contribute to our work
