Dear Alochok Ratri
Who are you who liberated Bangladesh? Awami League? The same Awami League that lost 40% of its support soon after Liberation?
Forget about Pakistan. Just as it is cheap and easy to decribe AL supporters as Indians it is also cheap and easy to describe BNP supporters as Pakistanis. This really needs to stop. Our standards of namecalling and political witticism are really poor!
There are millions of Bangldeshis who stand against Awami League and who are not paid up members of Jamaat. No party and no individual is the owner of our Liberation. Ordinary people paid as catastrophic a price as any freedom fighter, student leader or politician.
The reality is we had to keep Bismillah in our Constitution otherwise the Leader of the Miskin, from Miskinland, would be embarrassed when going to pay homage to the Wahabbi Sauds soon after election (it is a tradition in Miskinland).
A freedom fighter who opposes Awami League is as entitled to anything as a freedom fighter who supports Awami League. A citizen who opposes Awami League is as entitled to anything as a citizen who supports Awami League. Liberation and Bangladesh are not brands or franchises owned by anybody.
And, like everything in our history, the threats to freedom of speech and language existed but are exaggerated today. Well, it helps us to feel better because it turns us into bigger heroes than we really are.
As far as I have seen the opposition to Awami League hardly ever mentions Pakistan favourably. But Awami League mentions India favourably at breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I don't know if Moulana Abul Kalam Azad committed a crime in 71. And he doesn't appeal to my own understanding of Islam. But if it seems that he is being deliberately targetted ahead of all other criminals from 1971 - and 2009 - then I know for sure that the role of Islam in Bangladesh today will never be resolved by Awami League. Because people from Swat don't contact him - Bangladeshis from all over the world call him up. Or are they all terrorists?
I've heard him at Banani mosque on Fridays and seen what people think of him. Unless Banani is full of terrorists. He needs to be used - not abused. Our problems need clever engagement.
Alas. Lets lock him up.
And ensure that the Moulanas who vote for Awami League continue to be busy bringing cases against others for defaming Bongobondhu.
Islam. Its not a bloody cat that you can chose to keep indoors or outdoors. It needs sophisticated, inclusive, modern and emapthetic engagement.
Call the fighters in Swat whatever you want. Of course they are rotten fools. But they sure ain't looking at Dhaka for anything meaningful..
Best regards

> Well, please go to the court and let him face the justice if he is what you accuse him of. However, if you have rudimentary sense of decency and minimum respect to justice, constitutionality and human rights, you should remind yourself that a person should be presumed to be innocent unless and until proven and convicted guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction following due course of law. Who are you the hell to monger hatred and lies against him who is not even charged yet in any court of law???? That is the real character of an ultra-reactionist, ultra-secularist, neo-BAKSAlite extremist who are good for nothing for the nation but exclusively for their extremism in barbaric behavior. Again, you are kindly requested to go to a court with all your evidence rather than barking here. Best regards. W

> If Bacchu Rajakar, one of the most vile individual that I had ever met is a "Islamic Scholar", then I should win a Nobel prize in every subject. You should really think about what is "Islamic" and who is a "scholar". "Curse on him"? What are you? the village priest or the holy pope? Why not demand an investigation to unearth the truth?

If that's the case, be fearful of a day when you will be directly accountable before Allah to prove what you say. We know for sure why you hate Islamic scholars. Regards. Wohid

Furthermore, committing rapes and murders might have been prerequisites to enroll into moulana program in the Jamaati madrassah that he attended (I am really not sure whether he attended any).
