[mukto-mona] Anti-Islam Crusade Against Self-Promoted & Propagated Islamic Terror!!!

                                                    The Norwegian Anti-Islam "Crusader"
"A Madman, Not Islamic-terror"
By Farrukh I. Younus
Freelance Writer - United Kingdom Sunday, 24 July 2011
 
My condolences to the people of Norway who have now also become victims to the whims of terrorism which is fast becoming a less exclusive club of cities subject to such mindless murder.
 
What added to the burden was not that feeling in the pit of my stomach in disgust at what had occurred, nor was it the expected reaction that somehow this was an attack by some obscure disenfranchised group of Muslims. Rather it was my own response, assuming that such a tragedy, on such a scale, in such a location, would be the handiwork of an obscure disenfranchised group of Muslims. How wrong I was!
 
As news spread of a blond haired, blue eyed Norwegian man, Anders Behring Breivik, many of the news channels and publications back tracked with some even removing previous commentary blaming Muslims. In the case of one publication, as one commentator observed, the comments in The Telegraph stopped short of suggesting the annihilation of the European Muslim community in response. It is as if hate is being met with more hate, and efforts for understanding and interaction are being thrown by the side.
 
It doesn't matter that earlier this year research circulated the internet where one article headlines "All Terrorists are Muslims... Except the 94% that Aren't". The author pointed out that only 6% of terrorists' attacks on the US soil from 1980 to 2005 were carried out by 'Muslims' - the rest? 42% from Latinos, 24% from extreme left wing groups, 7% from Jews, 5% from communists and 16% from others.
 
If that isn't sufficient, Europol released their annual study of terrorism which observes that 99.6% of terrorist attacks in Europe were by non-Muslim groups.
 
All these numbers aside, murder is murder, and as the holy Qur'an clearly states: (The one who takes the life of an innocent person; it is as if they have murdered all of humanity.)
 
No Muslim who has read the Qur'an, can understand its meanings, and tries to apply its teaching in their daily life, can possibly justify mindless murder. It simply isn't possible. With this in mind I refer to the title of this article. The quote comes from a Norwegian police official who actually said:
 
"He came out of nowhere... It seems it's not Islamic-terror related... This seems like a madman's work."
 
This quote is cited across every news service reporting the incident but it upsets me. To me as a Muslim, the phrase 'Islamic-terror' is an oxymoron. Terrorism is terrorism, and the only ones able to justify such injustice are in fact madmen.
It doesn't matter which faith a person ascribes to, for any person seeking to commit an injustice can only rationalize that injustice by obscuring the words of that faith. That is to say, it takes a mad person to commit an act of terrorism.
 
Given the statistics, and the realities of terrorism, perhaps it is time we look beyond stereotypes, otherwise authorities will no longer need to look for young Muslim men of Arabic/Indian/Pakistan/North African origin who have 'been to a mosque' as a means of identifying potential threats. They will have to add all blond haired blue eyed men who watch Dexter.
 
Why does the latter sound absurd while the former is perceived as 'acceptable measure for prevention'? A murderer is a murderer and will find any excuse to rationalize their crime.
 
Once again: my condolences to the people of Norway.
May you find ease and comfort in this difficult time. Amen.

Excerpts From Oslo Attacker Manifesto
 
OnIslam & News Agencies
Monday, 25 July 2011
 
OSLO – The killer of at least 93 people in twin attacks in Norway has set out his reasons for his assault.
 
In his 1,500-page manifesto, Anders Behring Breivik describes the attacks as a crusade to save Europe from the tide of Islam.
 
Here are some excerpts cited by Reuters from the document entitled "2083 - A European Declaration of Independence":
Description: Description: Picture of Anders Behring Breivik taken from the 1,500 page book which he claims is the manifesto. Credit: REUTERS
Anders Behring Breivik in Action
Ideology:
 
* "As we all know, the root of Europe's problems is the lack of cultural self-confidence (nationalism). Most people are still terrified of nationalistic political doctrines thinking that if we ever embrace these principles again, new "Hitler's" will suddenly pop up and initiate global Armageddon ... This irrational fear of nationalistic doctrines is preventing us from stopping our own national/cultural suicide as the Islamic colonization is increasing annually ... You cannot defeat Islamization or halt/reverse the Islamic colonization of Western Europe without first removing the political doctrines manifested through multiculturalism/cultural Marxism."
 
* "I don't hate Muslims at all. I acknowledge that there are magnificent Muslim individuals in Europe. In fact, I have had several Muslim friends over the years, some of which I still respect. This does not mean however that I will accept an Islamic presence in Europe. Muslim individuals who do not assimilate 100% within 2020 will be deported as soon as we manage to seize power."
* "Although I do admit that I am disgusted by the current development, I would rather say I'm driven by my love for Europe, European culture and all Europeans. This does not mean that I oppose diversity. But appreciating diversity does not mean that you support genocide of your own culture and people."
Evolution:
* "For me, personally, it was my government's involvement in the attacks on Serbia."
* "It was completely unacceptable how the US and Western European regimes bombed our Serbian brothers. All they (the Serbs) wanted was to drive out Islam by deporting the Albanian Muslims back to Albania."
* "I've spent a total of 9 years of my life working on this project."
* Around year 2000 I realized that the democratic struggle against the Islamisation of Europe, European multiculturalism was lost. It had gone too far ... 40 years of dialogue with the cultural Marxists/multiculturalists had ended up as a disaster. It would now only take 50-70 years before we, the Europeans are in a minority. As soon as I realized this I decided to explore alternative forms of opposition. Protesting is saying that you disagree. Resistance is saying you will put a stop to this. I decided I wanted to join the resistance movement.
* I came in contact with Serbian cultural conservatives through the internet. This initial contact would eventually result in my contact with several key individuals all over Europe and the forming of the group who would later establish the military order and tribunal ... Knights Templar."
* There have been several issues that have reaffirmed my beliefs since then. Among them; my governments cowardly handling of the Muhammad Cartoon issue and their decision to award the Nobel peace prize to an Islamic terrorist (Arafat) and appeasers of Islam. There have been tens of other issues."
Execution:
* "If you are unwilling or incapable of killing women due to the principles of chivalry you should probably steer away completely from the armed resistance movements and should probably consider creating yet another right wing blog instead."
* "Once you decide to strike, it is better to kill too many than not enough, or you risk reducing the desired ideological impact of the strike. Explain what you have done (in an announcement distributed prior to operation) and make certain that everyone understands that we, the free peoples of Europe, are going to strike again and again."
* "Do not apologies, make excuses or express regret for you are acting in self-defense or in a preemptive manner ... Some innocent will die in our operations as they are simply at the wrong place at the wrong time. Get used (to) the idea. The needs of the many will always surpass the needs of the few.
* "If you for some reason survive the operation you will be apprehended and arrested. This is the point where most heroic Knights would call it a day. However, this is not the case for a Justiciar Knight. Your arrest will mark the initiation of the propaganda phase."

[ALOCHONA] Bengali dismissed in Pakistan

KARACHI, July 24:

Dr Kaiser Bengali, whose has recently been removed as adviser to the Sindh chief minister on Planning and Development, when the provincial chief executive had to accommodate a nominee of a new coalition partner, is being kept away from the government as the (Punjabi) bureaucracy feels uneasy under his command, sources say.

Dr Bengali has now been made deputy chairman of the newly-constituted Planning and Development Board with the functions and powers similar to those of an adviser.


The sources said that Dr Bengali, known economist and who headed institutions like Social Policy and Development Centre, Karachi, and Sustainable Development Policy Institute, Islamabad, seemed no more willing to take up his new job. "The main reason is that he is disturbed by the attitude of the bureaucracy, which is behind an inordinate delay in the issuance of the notification of his appointment as the new PDB chief despite approval of the relevant summary by the chief minister," the sources observed.


It is also learnt that Dr Bengali had earlier submitted his resignation to the chief minister, probably in April, reportedly in disgust over the bureaucracy's attempts to sabotage his efforts towards improving the provincial economy and other rehabilitation work. The chief minister, however, did not accept the resignation.

If he quit the government, he will be the third professional economist, after the State Bank governor and the chief economist in the Planning Commission, to part ways with the government (in clash with Punjabi Establishment of Islamabad).


The need to change in the designations of Dr Bengali and Zubair Motiwala from the office adviser was felt, when the chief minister had to induct some PML-Q and PML-F party nominees as advisers and ministers in the Sindh government.

Since the constitution does not allow a chief minister to keep more than five advisers at a time, he offered new jobs to Dr Kaiser Bengali and Zubair Motiwala without curtailing their powers or changing their functions.

Accordingly, both the advisers were de-notified but the notification regarding their re-designation which were supposed to be notified simultaneously had not been issued for several days.


Later, the notification appointing Mr Motiwala as chairman of the Board of Investment was issued. However, a similar notification for Dr Bengali's appointment as the deputy chairman of the Planning & Development Board is yet to be issued.

It is learnt that certain elements in the bureaucracy do not want Dr Bengali to remain a provincial authority as the people at the helm of affairs are not happy with his strategy to stamp out corruption from the department by dropping nearly 400 schemes from the ADP 2011-12.


Besides, Dr Bengali was recently quoted as saying that Sindh's Annual Development Plan was determined by a 'contractor lobby' and the remarks were not welcomed by certain elements in the bureaucracy, according to sources.

He had also highlighted the fact that Sindh was under yoke of economic colonialism (of Punjabis), pointing out that people of other provinces working to earn money in Sindh would transfer a major portion of their income to their home provinces.

BACK GRAUND HISTORY:

Mr. Shahanur Islam has been victimized in different occasions previously due to his activities to protect and promote human rights in Bangladesh.

On the 9th of January, 2011 a fact-finding team composing of Mr. Shahanur Islam, Executive Director of Bangladesh Institute of Human Rights (BIHR) and two fact-finding officers, BIHR went to Jharbhanga village under Gorea union in Thakurgaon district fraudulently calling them to investigate the incident of the ill-treatment of a minority woman.

After reaching the spot, the fact-finding team begun to interview the applicant and the local people, 10 to 12 unidentified people came to the spot and questioned the fact-finding team about their reason of present there. One of the perpetrators identified himself as the chairman of the local union Parishad, another one as a member of Parishad. Then the perpetrators trying to accused the fact-finding tem to involve with a recent murder of a young boy and also trading with a stolen motorbike as well as taking part in fraudulent dollar transactions after getting identity and reason of present of fact finding team at there. Suddenly, one of the perpetrators physically attacked Mr. Islam and took away his mobile phone, while he was trying to call the local police station for help.

Meanwhile, the perpetrators also attacked the other two fact-finding officers and took away their mobiles as well.

The perpetrators – threatening the members of the fact-finding team with a pistol - looted the video camera, laptop, secret pen video camera, still camera, documents, money bag and all other valuable belongings of the fact finding team, amounting approximately to  BDT 3,50,000.

When Mr. Islam tried to shout for help, he was again physically attacked. Then the attackers forced the victims - by threatening them with pistol - to pose with dollars while the perpetrators took pictures of them. After taking the pictures, the perpetrators warned the fact-finding team not to inform the police about this incident, otherwise they will get these photos published in the newspapers and kill the victims. Finally the perpetrators fled away on some unregistered motorbikes.

Then Mr. Islam went to the Thakurgaon Police Station and tried to file the case in this connection on the same day. But the officer in charge refused to file it. Rather he sent one Sub inspector Mr. Biswanath with the victim to verify the incident instead of registering the case. But during the verification, the sub inspector forces the victim to back the police station without identifying the spot. On the next day morning Mr. Islam submitted a written First Information Report-FIR (Ezahar) mentioning the incident, but the OC again refused to register it instantly. Rather he asked Mr. Islam to submit a written FIR (EJAHAR) to the duty officer and also told Mr. Islam to back the Dhaka. In accordance with the instruction of OC, Mr. Islam submitted the EJAHAR to duty officer around at 12.30 pm and back to the Dhaka, but the officer in charge registered the case around at 6.15 pm on 10th January, 2011 being number 06/06. Though the case was registered but he did not register it in proper section. He registered the case under 406/420/323/506 (2) of Penal Code instead of 406/420/323/395/506 (2) and arms act with out consulting with Mr. Islam.

To know more about the incident please visit the following links:

On February 04, 2011, one co-accused Hamidul Islam was arrested by the investigation officer and being present him before the Magistrate Court of Thakurgaon demanding five days remand. but the learned court pleased to issue two day remand. During the remand the arrested accused Hamidul Islam agreed to give confession involving with the incident. But finally, he did not give the confession before the court and the court sent him to the jail custody.

Please see the link to see news published on difference media: 

On 3rd March 2011, around at 3.30 pm, Mr. Islam participated the TI Parade in to the Thakurgaon jail and identified the accused Mr. Hamidul Islam amonst others 20 prisoners in presented of senior judicial Magistrate of Thakurgaon district.

Mr. Komal Mohant Chaki, sub inspector of Thakurgaon police station and also the investigation officer of the case told Mr. Islam informally that they know who were involved with the incident but due to some technical reasons they cannot arrest them. He also told Mr. Islam that previously, Mr. Jamal Uddin, Secretary of Jubo League, Youth wings of ruling party of Gorea union unit assured him to recover all the goods, but later due to unknown reason he did not back the looted goods.

On 3rd March, 2011, Mr. Islam asked to Mr. Chaki about the reason of failure to recover the goods as well as arrest the others accused, but he failed to give appropriate answer, only said that he is trying. Further, Mr. Islam asked to arrest Mr. Jamal Uddin but he refused to arrest him showing reasons that he was not present during the incident. Mr. Islam asked him to arrange a TI parade after arresting Mr. Jamal, but he did not take action yet. It is clear to BIHR that due to political influence, the police authority is silent to arrest the perpetrators as well as recover the goods.

BIHR FINDINGS:

It is a very common phenomenon for the professionals like human rights defenders of Bangladesh facing attacked, harassment, ill treatment, death threats from the terrorist, law-enforcing agencies and security forces. It is well known that Bangladesh has cultivated one of the best cultures of impunity to alleged perpetrators of human rights abuses despite the nation's presence in the UN Human Rights Council since May 2006. Instead of improving the country's human rights records the government of Bangladesh has paved the ways to degrade the rights of the citizens through various means of violations.

i) Take all necessary measures to guarantee, in all circumstances, the physical and psychological integrity of Mr. Shahanur Islam and others two victims;

ii) Order a prompt, effective, thorough, independent and impartial investigation into the above-mentioned incident threats, the result of which must be made public, in order to identify all those responsible, bring them before a competent, independent and impartial tribunal and apply to them the penal sanctions provided by the law;

iii) Put an end to all acts of harassment against Mr. Islam as well as   against all human rights defenders in Bangladesh;

iv) Accomply with the provisions of the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 9, 1998, in particular Article 1, which states that "everyone has the right, individually or collectively, to promote the protection and fulfilment of human rights and fundamental freedoms at the national and international levels", as well as Article 12.2, which provides that "the State shall take all necessary measures to ensure the protection by the competent authorities of everyone, individually or in association with others, against any violence, threats, retaliation, de facto or de jure adverse discrimination, pressure or any other arbitrary action as a consequence of his or her legitimate exercise of the rights referred to in the present Declaration";

v) Guarantee the respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms in accordance with the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and other international human rights instruments ratified by Bangladesh.

Thousands Hindu youths are getting training day and night under RAW, all hard criminals are ready for signals in Bangladeshi Jails to join in turmoil with pro-Indians if the situation goes out of control. Are Political leaders` chanting slogans for mere political business? Is Bangladesh finally going to surrender to India? Yes or No?
The political appointee Ambassador in Nepal, Nim C Bhaumik already has started hoisting Indian flag instead of Bangladeshi flag.Mr.Bhaumik is a front liner Hindu militant with (rtd) Major General C R Dutta under HBCUC. Bangladesh government has no control on them.
Mr. Bhaskar Roy, a Campaigner- analyst based on New Delhi wrote on asking to find a way of finding Bangladesh`s heart in this serious turmoil political situation. Title of the write up, “Can India finds a Way to Bangladesh’s Heart?” The writer though mainly keep analysis the China affairs on Indian interests as he is identified but his knife pushed in deep on the nerve of Bangladesh, he is an interesting and active character, engaged in making fabricated story. The person that used to fear Chinese dragon, here has been assessing Bangladesh from that fear of mind and so his motive can easily be understood that he might run long way but that is in wrong direction. Please click; http://www.c3sindia.org/india/2476 to find his original article.
Let me share some of his discussions on Bangladesh to follow the intention of his campaign and also advice that he served. I found Indian enmity tricks reflect in this write up. This enmity can be compared with the `mixing of poison with foods and feeding` Bangladeshis in friendlier entertainment. “Food-feed-kill not shoots” to waken enemies and let engage the enemies to fight each other in Bangladesh. Smart policy. It is Indian special military strategy for Bangladesh as of my reading.
Bangladesh is never China, everybody know it. But Indian strategists and analysts treat Bangladesh as their enemy as the China that is a permanent enemy to India. So, any friendlier relation that Bangladeshis still expect from Indian policy makers that is a real blunder in sincere mind.
He wrote,“In fact, Indian states bordering Bangladesh have closer similarities with Bangladesh in language, culture, history and food habits than they have with many other Indian states”. It`s right, Bangladeshis are similar with them in most cases that he has mentioned but the gross difference is that these states are slaves and cowards. On the other hands, Bangladesh is Independent and home of heroes and one of the most prestigious nations of the world that Indian states bordering Bangladesh are far behind to them.
He wrote, “Should religion divide Bangladesh and India?” No, never. Religion is never a factor at all to keep distance between India and Bangladesh. Bangladesh is an Independent state for it`s all citizens that it maintains and these citizens are cordial with all neighbors of outside border whatever their religious believes. Yes! Of course Bangladesh and India must keep separate identity from each other with their border.
He wrote, “One cannot forget the Muslim Marfatis and the Hindu Bauls who sang to one god who has no name and rued that temples, mosques and churches artificially divided humans. It would be wise for today’s politicians like Begum Khaleda Zia to heed the advice of these roving philosophers of yester years if they really want peace and development”. but Marafatis and Boul songs are treated as traditional social song in Bangladesh. Today`s politicians should know themselves and know their real friends in inside and outside too.
He continued, “The visceral hate-India mindset of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JEI) and its allied religious groups is understandable.  After all, they were committed to Pakistan and remain so…In the early part of this decade the JEI leaders appeared to have been confident to form the government in Dhaka on their own by 2012.  They also spoke of making Bangladesh a confederate of Pakistan”.
But Indians should know JEI and their secret as you both are business partners and partners in some strategic affairs. JEI never spoke for making Bangladesh confederate of Pakistan, it`s a lie. It is another “oil-mixed lie” that JEI appeared to have been confident to form the government in Dhaka of their own by 2012.
He wrote, “But what is Begum Khaleda Zia’s enduring problem with India?  Her late husband President Zia-ur-Rehman was a liberation war hero and fought along with Indian soldiers. But why did he turn against India so viciously? He even banned “Rabindra Sangeet, songs written by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore. Today, Tagore is more alive in Bangladesh than even in India, clearly underlining how strong culture can be as a cohesive bond surmounting religious barriers”.
Khaleda has no problem with India personally as per she is known. Her husband Ziaur Rahman a war hero experienced on Indians first time beating in 1965 war and was awarded the highest prestigious military medals. Second time, highest medal of war hero BU for Bangladesh liberation war in 1971.President Ziaur Rahman was never against India so viciously, but India felt the same as Zia adapted state politics that emphasize the security of Bangladesh and also that encountered Indian Military strategy in Bangladesh. President Ziaur requested to join in SARC initiative through foreign minister Professor Shamsul Haq and hugged India in SARC. Rather Indians are found vicious against Zia in all sides even till today.
Zia never banned Robindra Sangeet but loved any songs that carry the patriotic spirit. Now some initiatives are appeared to eliminate Bangladeshi world banker for poor, noble laureate Mohammed Yunus from the world scene and use poet Rabindranath Tagore as baby fun intentionally to divert public attention against Bangladeshi noble laureate that saddened us. Bangladeshis honor the poet Tagore than India as Bangladesh is the Headquarter of Bangla language in the world and Bangla language is almost took place in stomach`s deep bottom of Hindi language in India.
He added “Very recently (July 13) Khaleda Zia told a party rally “we got independence of the country by sacrifice of blood.  We will never let you (the Awami League led government) give a corridor to India through our land.  Then she went on to say she and her party will oppose a proposed Indian power plant in Bangladesh and a special Export Processing Zone (EPZ). Of course, the BNP and JEI and their media mouthpieces have been opposing anything Indian, and see any cooperation with India as a security and sovereignty threat to Bangladesh”.
Bangladesh needs peace in inside and outside of its border and it is mostly surrounded by disguised enemy in all sides. The corridor or transit demand is undoubtedly to use against Bangladesh and seven sisters for military purposes. Bangladeshi Ambassador and RAW agent Nim Chandra Bhaumik in Nepal already hoists Indian flag instead of Bangladeshi flag in his official car. Can anybody believe Ambassador dares to stand for India without Sheikh Hasina or Indian signal? It has created debates. Nepalese government complained to Bangladesh though did not find feedback yet. So, Bangladeshis deserve this patriotic stand from the wife of President Ziaur Rahman BU in present crisis.
As India not only surrounds Bangladesh, it already taken position within our government and inside public in disguised face. These should be uncovered and strongly beaten to drive out the unwanted dogs from home through the public up-rise.
 
He continued, “Under Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, Indian insurgents like the ULFA, NSCN (I/M) and others were openly given a free run by Bangladesh to import arms for militancy in Assam, Nagaland and other parts of north-east India.  ULFA commander-in-chief Paresh Barua lived openly in Dhaka with his family”.
 
It`s a 100% false accusation by Indian operatives. Bangladesh has been always busy with her struggle to address the own crisis for advancement and moreover the challenge of the global desires. The Indian discrimination in Assam, Nagaland, Manipur, West Bengal, Tripura, Bihar, Arunachal, Mizoram and Maoist revolution or liberation battle of ULFA, NSCN   etc. are Indian`s home issue. Bangladesh, though affected by these troubles but it can`t pay attention on it.
Maoist revolutionary arms struggles were initiated in India before so many years of the birth of Bangladesh. Indian continuous lies against the Bangladeshi patriots and Independence are nothing new. India never allows Bangladesh to list the Indians that live in Bangladesh. It`s no body`s importance to unclothe Indians to detect who is what even people had no attention on Paresh Barua as there are thousands of Barua of almost same face.
On the other hand, Bangladeshi Intelligence orgs are always weak as politicians don`t want it strong. Bangladesh lost two presidents and even it could not expose the Philkhana conspiracy in time. Indians raise this funny joke once again to create excuse to punch Bangladesh. So, Prime Minister Khaleda Zia`s failure to know about Paresh`s hide in Bangladesh not at all a matter of surprise.
Sonia Gandhi zee landed in Bangladesh to convince and confirm Hasina to sign in all Indian RAW`s drafts because she does not like to live any space stays out for western`s friend Dr. Mon Mohan Singh, a Sikh, the highest popular prime minister in Indian history. Her attempt covers the Indian final game on Bangladesh. Whereas politicians in Bangladesh wish on good faith, she will keep respect in supporting its security and democratic values.

Re: [ALOCHONA] Re: Use of 'bismillah' in the Constitution is Blasphemous!




Alochok Shafiq,

I do not mind any civilized discussion or "Alochona". We used to have lot more "Alochona" than forwarding articles in this forum. I look at things a little differently. If I live in the US and one of my fellow Bangladeshis is in trouble, I will not ask if he/she supports BNP or BAL party. First, if I am able, I'll help him/her. We are Bangladeshis first. Both of you are members of this forum and have God given right to disagree on issues.

I agree with you that, "Islam" is not a monopoly of any party. Neither is "Muktijuddho of 71". When the Pakistani army attacked us many of our forefathers were killed without committing any crime against the country. We were "Bengalis" and that was our ONLY identity.

In a "FREE" country people disagree and in a democracy people have the right to support any party they like. As long we are peaceful and avoiding violence, I do not see any harm in it. Sadly you will NOT find any political party that does not have a large army of "Thugs" who are often violent. Therefore, we as people are not honest with ourselves. Even educated people are too eager to throw support to political parties with immoral practices and policies.

Even eager Jamaat-e-Islamic party supports agree that, they were in the wrong side of history during 71. Some were opportunists and some people had genuine emotional ties to the concept of Pakistan { A safe country of Muslims of sub-continent}. Similar to the concept of Israel. Which was re-created to offer a safe place for Jewish people.

Things did not work out well among fellow Pakistanis and we were blessed to have Bangladesh. If you ask around you will see majority people [ Practicing and non-practicing Muslims] do take the name of Allah(SWT) before doing regular and important work. We offer Salaams { Wishing "Peace" to each other} among us regardless of religious backgrounds. Therefore, having "Bismillah" in front of the "Charter of our nation" is only natural.

I am not confused about secular, atheist or agnostic. Have pretty good idea about what these concepts stands for. I disagree with you and I would repeat what I said before. IN BANGLADESH ( A non Arabic speaking country) words like "Bismillah" or "Salaam" are symbolic in most cases.

Going back to your point about American concept of secular country. It is a secular country with symbolic reference to its Judeo-Christian background. Therefore, the dollar bills say, "In God we trust" NOT "In gods we trust". The calender we use starts with the alleged death of "Jesus" [ Perceived as God in Christendom]. It would be like if we started using "Hijri" years in national matters. Last time I checked we DON"T do that!!

Therefore, so called supporters of "Secular" Bangladesh are not aware of history, reality of Bangladesh and [ Often] intellectually shallow to understand the very concept they support.

Bangladesh is NOT an "Islamic republic" rather a "People's republic", so we do not follow Islamic laws in this country rather we follow "Secular laws" which comes from English common laws [ England, America and sub-continent share this history as well].

I do not think Mr. Ramjan said he is a supporter of Jamat but you "Assumed" that he was. I think we should be less judgmental about such things. Sad fact is Jamaat is the only major party in Bangladesh that practice democracy inside their party. NO other party follows democracy inside their respective institutions. They simply "Install" sons and daughters of party leaders without adequately testing their leadership skills.

I did not spell out anything new here, all of us know these things.

It would be nice to see we start showing genuine respect to each others and respect opinions of others even if it is different from ours. I think we are out worst enemies and say awful things about fellow Bengalis more than any of our perceived or real enemies.  

As far as showing respect to freedom fighter is concern, it is a token of my gratitude to those brave souls who gave us a free country. I am not powerful enough to do more for them ( They are often used as political tool in our country) but I try to be respectful for their contribution over those nine months. If you do not agree with me, I'll take it as "Your opinion" on it. No big deal. Respect has to be earned and we should not force respect on anyone!! :-)

I enjoyed reading your mail. Take care.

Mr. QAR (I think I am right, most probably you are not Mrs or Ms) 
Though my addressing to Mr. Ramjan as Mr. Mo'meen was intentional, my apologies if it has offended you (and to Mr. Ramazan for that matter). But Mr. QAR (sorry again if you are a Mrs. or Ms), go back and re-read the posting of Mr. Ramazan and if you are not a biased person you will realize that it is not a sensible writing. Should I tell Islam is the religion of masses in Bangladesh (including me Alhumdullah) and no way monopoly of a certain group or party. Worst when political parties are using Islam for their political means. 
Having said so, I am still waiting for my queries to Mr. Ramazan, if he or even you can answer it: 
  • ·         Tell me honestly how many times in a day you start your work with the name of ALLAH?
  • ·         Why limiting "Bissmillah     "to constitution only? Why not on each and every document? 
Should I tell you Words Bissmillah  ___________  is not symbolic. These are word of Quran and I totally agree with Mr. Ramazan that every work a Muslim starts must start with it? I will like to ask Mr. Ramazan and alike, are we gone that weak as Muslim, not to remember it every time. We need it in writing. And if we have gone that weak then even writing of it will not work. 
And all this has nothing to do if Mr. Ramazan is a freedom fighter or not. All his previous writings suggest he is influenced by the philosophy of Jamaat. Jamaat openly admits that they were for united Pakistan during 71 war. How Mr. Ramazan went against the philosophy of the party he supports? In all cases I don't have any problem, if he expresses his views provided it commensurate to the forum he is addressing. Does not matter he is a freedom fighter or not. 
I think you are confused between a secular and an atheist. USA may be secular but not atheist. And every religion on this earth gives the teaching that "In God we trust." 
In the end I agree that we should utilize more of our time in addressing the national issues which require more attention.

Albeit I do not think it will have any major impact in our daily lives. Since we downgraded remembrance of Allah into a social custom.

As a citizen of Bangladesh and a special son of this country (Muktijodda) he should have every right to freely express his opinions. We should not assume everything everyone do for political reasons. Those so called "Islamic parties" already abused Islam and made it unpopular to many Bangladeshis. But average people of this country do respect Islam and have no major issues with remembering Allah in daily lives.

At the same time they try to protect rights of minorities when it needs protection. What is the big deal about a (Mostly symbolic name) in front of our constitution? We are NOT an "Islamic republic" rather "People's republic". Since close to 88% of "The people" claims to follow Islam, what is so awful about mentioning that in front of "Our" constitution? I think our current PM did the right thing by leaving it alone. To be effective leaders, we have to stay close to reality and actions have to reflect wishes of the people.

The Constitution of Bangladesh is meant to guarantee fundamental rights to EVERY citizen. It is not a place for the State to advertise the preference of one religion over all the other religions or ethnicity of non-Muslim inhabitants of the state. It is ironic that this was done under the supposed aegis of Islam, a religion known for its keen sense of equal justice for all. Besides Qur'anic guidance, we have the Sunnah to give us models to follow.

This is a familiar trick reminiscent of Hitler's campaign rhetoric stoking popular racial and ethnic sentiments in 1930s Germany. Later the Catholic Church of Austria used religious sentiments to persecute the Jews and oust them from Vienna. The lesson to be learned is that the word of God, when politically manipulated, can bring massive human destruction. The Genocide of 1971 is scorched in our memory.

There is no such thing called `Martial Law' in the Constitution of the People's Republic of Bangladesh. `Bismillah' should not be put above the Preamble of the nation's Constitution by an unlawful usurper of civilian power who called himself Chief Martial Law Administrator. The use of `bismillah' for such crass political purpose behind the clout of illegal Martial Law by a Proclamation Order in 1977, thereby betraying the trust of 150 million people should surely count as the most shocking and egregious blasphemy!

By upholding the welcome repeal of the Fifth Amendment, Act 1979, the Supreme Court has fulfilled the duty of the judiciary in the service of preserving and defending the Constitution of Bangladesh. Now it seems that a Parliamentary process should be put in place to remove this heinous blasphemy and restore the sanctity of the Constitution of the People's Republic of Bangladesh.

Pakistan was a disasterous experiment in a bad idea! The birth of Bangladesh in 1971 proved conclusively that Muslim Bengalis do not need a separate state as Muslims only and no one else. They can live with people of other religions and ethnicity as they have happily and prosperously done so for centuries.
