Re: [ALOCHONA] Let the truth be said.

Hate campaign against Qawmi Madrasah or madrash education (islmaic education) is nothing but orchestrating or creating a fear factors and solely diverted against Islam or Muslims.
 
While they (those preachers under the guise of secularism or else) enormously become successful in their relentless endeavor to bring Muslim down (which they will of course deny) that also goes hand in hand with the imperialist design or hegemonic control - as part of their so called security reason or foreign policy there of (which most of the Bangladeshi diasphora in the west even at denial state -calls it imaginary).
 
Wish they understood what means education, save the religious belief, or right to education for all. Had they understood, they would tell, atleast uttered in some form that a prototype of Qawmi system that is cheapest, generous, self generated and self regulated -i.e without any frame work of regulations and control may be copied so that vast majority of poorest can access some form of education - free and often with food incentive.
 
Had they understood, instead, they would have spirited enthusiasm to modify or develop the structure to facilitate so that a son or a daughter of a peasant who earns less than a dollar, can not pay for tuition, often for food even, can learn how to read his history, manage his own account (basic math) and know his creator and the virtues in life.
 
Because their crocodile tears for 'right and education' only to deceive those poor learners from any form of education while the whole governement mechanism sit lam duck on the issue with many pretexts. Exactly that is what they cry for.
 
Looking at the structured education and its quality and the way those preachers dominate ruthlessly under the protection of their protector only made bangladeshi education and its institutions breeding place for corruption and its breeders. 37 years on, they have achieved very little and have no intention to improve it. they may be complacent with their so called reform program but I am not and can not be. Because I want real education that is effective and pragmatic and knowledge bearing, whether in literature, science, politics, economics, religion or anthropology.
 
For a true learner there is no short cut to knowledge, a meticulous process without any hinderance is the only way to earn it. As there is no short cut to heaven, no quick process to get enlightened also.
 
Those half educated Mollah at Qawmi or Alia Madrasahs and politically appointed professors or teachers in our schools do nothing good but bring chaos and undermine our desperate effort to climb the ladder.
 
If little educated (who can only get employed here to make a living) Mollas are dangerous with their short cut theories to heaven so is those subservient, parasital, politically appointed or privileged teachers. And this is the truth. Either you are with those poors or with those perpatrators. You are free to choose your option.

(Those fear mongers learnt their lesson from Hitler's policy of creating fear before the onslaught. I do not see the leader who could say to us 'you have nothing to fear but fear itself')

There is a long standing conviction among the conservative Muslim circle that Madrassa education is holy and essential to continue Islamic teachings. This belief in the Madrassa education was never shared by the majority in the Islamic communities around the world. The reality is that most of the Muslim children go for modern education avoiding institutional religious learning. But the demons created in the Madrassas around the world harvest on the fear factor which is the main pillar of Islam.  To be frank Madrassa education is there to produce some most reactionary minds ready to challenge the changing times and modern enlightenments. It's a wrong perception that Islam should stand alone as a religion and should still continue to claim that it's a complete code of life. A philosophical basis of life does not depend on any faiths specific preaching's. This wrong historical fallacy is the only curricula that are being taught in the Madrassas and a perpetual platform for conflict is created. The notion of a supreme fear which was used by Prophet Mohammad to discipline the pagan Arabs of Mecca has travelled to these days which still dominate the general Muslim psyche. The evil of fear can't be accepted to guide a person's life in his search for goodness. It's tantamount to serving Satan in the name of religion. There is an unbearable and deafening silence among the Muslims to confront the evil of religious extremism is self destructive. In a sleepy village of Bhola in Bangladesh arms and ammunition has been discovered in a Madrassa funded by a fundamentalist from London . Who is the enemy in Bangladesh ? An 85% Muslim nation? Looking at the current upsurge of Islamic extremism one can safely conclude that Islam as a faith is helpless to guide its followers to the right path. Time has come to realize that every suicide bomber is potentially destroying a minaret of Islam. It's just a matter of time when the whole structure will come down.
