A devil's design

Fanatics used fake facebook page to run rampage in Ramu

"Manufacturing Mayhem"
It was all faked.
The facebook page with an anti-Islam picture that provoked the September 29 rampage against the Buddhist community in Ramu was photoshopped.
Somebody or a group had taken a screenshot of Uttam Kumar Barua's facebook profile page, cut out the address of anti-Islam website "Insult allah" and pasted it on the address bar visible in the image.
Once the fabrication was done, it looked like "Insult allah" has shared the anti-Islam image with Uttam and 26 others.
The Daily Star showed the screenshot to IT and graphics experts.
The paper has become sure that it was a manipulation done to frame Uttam, who is a local Buddhist, and wreak mayhem that left 12 Buddhist temples burned to ashes and dozens of houses damaged.
A very innocent story was also cooked up about how Uttam's so-called facebook page came to public knowledge.
Omar Faruk, a youth of Ramu, claimed his friend Abdul Moktadir alias Alif, student of a private polytechnic institute in Chittagong, came to his mobile repairing shop in the evening of September 29.
According to Faruk, his friend signed in to his facebook account and made a scene finding Uttam's profile page bearing the anti-Islam photo.
Moktadir and Faruk claimed they had taken screenshots of the "profile page belonging to Uttam".
The fabrication of screenshot could be the first part of the plan behind the mayhem and bringing rioters from outside Ramu the second part.
Why the plotters chose Uttam's profile is not clear yet. Uttam, an underprivileged assistant deed writer, has been on the run along with his wife and child since the night of the incident.
One thing is evident in the screenshot that someone called "Abdul Muktadir" had entered Uttam's profile though he was not a facebook friend. Uttam's profile was not restricted.
The facebook account of "Abdul Muktadir" is not accessible anymore.
But Faruk's friend who came to the shop in September 29 evening is registered at Chittagong Polytechnic Institute as Abdul Moktadir.
He was detained by police on October 9.
"My son is a very bright student. He got stipend when he was in school. He has hearing problem but his memory is very sharp," said his mother Sajeda Begum at his house at Fakirabazar on October 6.
She refused to help The Daily Star meet her son Moktadir and repeatedly requested this correspondent to drop the idea of writing about the matter.
"He can fix mobile phone problems and he has very good computer knowledge as he studies computer engineering in Chittagong," she said.
Talking to this correspondent on October 3, Faruk expressed annoyance as his help was sought to reach Moktadir.
He dropped out after class-IV, but he is skilled at repairing computers and mobile phones, he said.
Interestingly, his facebook account claims he studied at Ramu High School and Cox's Bazar Govt Collage.
He set up a shop three to four years ago at Fakirabazar in Ramu. Locally known as "Faruk's computer shop", it is close to Moktadir's house.
Faruk denied link with any organisation or political party. Sajeda claimed the same about his son Moktadir.
Moktadir admitted that he was involved with Islami Chhatra Shibir when he was a student of class IX and X in 2008-09 at Ramu Khizari Adarsha High School, according to a police official.
Moktadir's mother also claimed nobody among their close relatives has any involvement in politics.
However, one of her brothers-in-law is Naikhangchhari upazila chairman of in Bandarban. His name is Tofail Ahmed, who doesn't hold any official post but locally everyone knows him as a Jamaat leader.
Tofail denied his involvement with Jamaat and said he was in Islami Chhatra Shibir, student wing of the party, when he was student of Chittagong University.
Surprisingly, Sajeda Begum, while giving names and brief profile of her close relatives to this reporter, mentioned the brother-in-law as Ali Ahmed.
But when her brother said it is Tofail Ahmed, she looked embarrassed but explained nothing.
Images in Faruk's computer

Some anti-Islam images were already stored in Faruk's computer at the shop.
Faruk claimed to this correspondent he and his friend Abdul Moktadir quickly created some image files with screenshots of Uttam's facebook account.
They did this as two strangers in his shop were unhappy seeing the pictures on their facebook, he said.
They saved the pictures after the strangers left, said Faruk, adding that they had to download some software to do it.
Faruk said they created the files to prove to the locals that the picture insulting the Quran did not belong to them and was from Uttam's profile.
He also added that Uttam's account suddenly disappeared within a short time after they saved the images. Faruk's claim was very confusing as no one else, except the account holder, can deactivate a facebook account.
And, moments after the departure of the two strangers, there was a continuous flow of people curious to see the pictures. All of them were shown images stored in Faruk's computer.
The people with no knowledge about social networking site facebook believed that was Uttam's facebook page with the anti-Islam image.
Faruk and Moktadir not only exhibited fabricated screenshots of Uttam's facebook profile, but also stored many pictures downloaded from "Insult allah" and the Quran-insulting photo, which was later circulated from mobile phones to mobile phones via Bluetooth.
In fact, there were significant anomalies between the claims of Faruk, Moktadir's mother and other local witnesses who saw the pictures at Faruk's shop.
Many locals got the images from Faruk and Moktadir on September 29 evening. They were local journalists, Faruk said, adding he does not know their names but would be able to recognise everyone.
Faruk on October 3 claimed that he could not give The Daily Star the images since the Ramu police have been keeping his computer since the night of September 29.
The Daily Star got those pictures, but from Nazir Hossain, owner of a local computer-training shop. He said the pictures were spread from Faruk's shop and after September 29, he collected those from locals.
Locals and a police official said these are the images they had seen on Faruk's computer.
Faruk claimed the picture in question appeared on his facebook page. Moktadir first saw it and then him.
But the collected pictures does not support Faruk's claim. The account of "Abdul Muktadir" was used while seeing Uttam's profile page and taking the screenshots.
If someone does not restrict his/her profile, every facebook account holder can view some information of that person. Otherwise, a brief restricted version of the profile is seen.
This correspondent failed to reach Uttam for a comment.
URL FAKED
"www.facebook.com/Insultallahswt" appeared in the browser address bar of the profile page of Uttam, according to the screenshot taken by "Abdul Muktadir".
But the image had clear signs of manipulation suggesting that "/Insultallahswt" was pasted there either to hide the real address or to convince people how bad Uttam was.
Even the information above the tagged picture on Uttam's profile --"Insult allah with Uttam Kumar Barua and 26 others" with a date of September 18 -- was similarly forged.
It was not possible to know whether this manipulation was done on Faruk's computer or it was put in his computer after making the images somewhere else.
Answers to these questions are locked in Faruk's computer seized by the police, said an expert.
WHO WERE THE STARNGERS?
According to Faruk, two men aged 23-24 saw "Uttam's facebook page" on his computer along with him and Moktadir.
Faruk had never seen the two before. Faruk was born and brought up in South Sreekul of Ramu.
Moktadir's mother Sajeda claimed that she heard that four customers in the shop made the hue and cry seeing the picture on Faruk's computer.
A person, who had seen the picture that night at the shop, requesting anonymity said being informed, he along with a few others went there around 8:30pm.
He did not find Faruk there; a boy unknown to him was showing the pictures. The "unknown nice looking" boy was also explaining to the locals the meaning of the picture.
"When the boy was giving me explanations of a picture, I told him not to explain and just to show the pictures."
The Daily Star investigation found this unknown boy was Moktadir.
WHY MOKTADIR IN RAMU?
After passing the SSC from Ramu, Moktadir moved to Chittagong for a diploma on computer engineering at Shyamoli Ideal Polytechnic Institute.
Since then, he has been living in Chittagong and visited his mother occasionally.
Although the final exams of his sixth semester were going on, Moktadir showed up in Ramu.
His mother Sajeda said Moktadir visited her on September 25 and the following day he had gone to his uncle Tofail Ahmed's place in Naikhangchhari and returned to Ramu on September 28.
He left Ramu again for Chittagong on October 1, she said.
Referring to records, Moktadir's dormitory superintendent Imam Hossain said Moktadir was not in the dorm between September 22 and 26.
He was present on September 26 and on 27 but absent on September 29 and 30. He returned to the dorm on October 1 and left again on October 5.
Police detained Moktadir on his return to the dorm in the night of October 9.
His mother Sajeda said, "Moktadir came between the gaps of his exams to take money to pay the fees for the seventh semester admission. As he had time, he went to visit Naikhangchhari for a few days."
Sajeda gave Moktadir Tk 17,000 for admission fees, she claimed.
However, the principal of the institute said they did not ask students for admission fees for the seventh semester since the sixth semester finals were still going on. They could ask for the fees in November.
Faruk claimed he and Moktadir went to his shop together on September 29 evening after having snacks at a local restaurant. Both saw the pictures on facebook, showed and distributed those among locals and later went to the police station.
Sajeda, however, claimed Moktadir went to Faruk's shop to repair his aunt's mobile phone around 7:30pm on September 29. At that time, he saw the pictures and after repairing the phone he retuned home within an hour.
Later, police went to their home and asked Moktadir to go to the police station to confirm that he saw the pictures at Faruk's shop.
There were several other inconsistencies between the statements of Faruk and Sajeda on the same issue.
Sajeda tried to hide many things while talking to The Daily Star on October 6 and even the information she divulged was later found to be untrue during The Daily Star investigation.
THEY LIVE CLOSE
The first campaign to incite people started from Faruk's shop at Fakirabazar of Ramu, which was close to Moktadir's home.
A small procession was brought first from near the shop. Hafez Ahmed, who lives next door to Moktadir's home, played a leading role in bringing out the procession attended by some other locals.
When this correspondent went to talk to Sajeda on October 6, Hafez Ahmed's sister-in-law was there too.
She defended Moktadir and vigorously discouraged the correspondent to write about him.
Hafez Ahmed has been on the run since pictures of him in the procession were published in newspapers on October 2.
WHO IS ALIF?
Moktadir is known as Alif in Ramu Bazar area. His mother said Alif was his nickname.
The nick was not used in the facebook account of "Abdul Muktadir".
However, The Daily Star found a facebook account of "Abdul Muktadir Alif".
Very little information was found the profile as it is restricted to non-facebook friends of "Abdul Muktadir Alif". It said "Abdul Muktadir Alif" studied at Ramu High School. The profile picture was of a boy but sex was mentioned as female.
Interestingly, Faruk also uses the nick Alif for his facebook account even though it is not his name.
Asked on October 3, Faruk said he just used it for his facebook account as he liked this nickname of his friend.
MOKTADIR WAS SHIBIR MAN
Md Iltut Mish, additional superintendent of police in Chittagong, who was working in Cox's Bazar on deputation, told The Daily Star on Friday, "According to Moktadir's statement and the information in his personal diary, he was the sports secretary of Ramu thana Islami Chhatra Shibir in 2009."
Moktadir had told police that since he was good in sports, Shibir men gave him the post, he said.
Contacted over the phone, Moktadir's uncle Tofail Ahmed said he was not involved in Jamaat. "It would not be possible for anyone to show my name in any document of Jamaat."
Locals in Ramu said Tofail's car went to Ramu twice within a few days since the attack on Buddhist homes and pagodas.
Tofail claimed his wife went to the doctor's and some other places in Cox's Bazar and she could have visited her mother and sister in Ramu.
Moktadir's two maternal uncles Rakib and Rajib also live with Tofail in Naikhangchhari.
Locals said one of them was seen in Ramu before the attack and during the night of the attack.
Tofail ruled out the possibility of them being anywhere near Ramu on September 29 night. He said, "They [Rajib and Rakib] live with me here [in Naikhangchhari] and they were at home that night."
Rajib told this correspondent over the phone that he had gone to Ramu on September 27 on family business and returned to Naikhangchhari the same day.

Re: [mukto-mona] : Shah Abdul Hannan--রামু, সাম্প্রদায়িকতা ও অসাম্প্রদায়িকতা ---Ramu, Communalism and Noncommunalism

Still waiting on specifics!! Just slander or libel should not be the way of communicating in any civilized discussion.

I am happy to entertain any civilized approach.

>>>>>>>>> Any more FICTIONS? Please educate yourself first before you discuss any topic. Otherwise it looks like ignorant hate speech to me.

If you want to be taken seriously, come up with SPECIFICS about Islamic history. We have enough problems in our hands, we can do better without more falsehood against ANY faiths.

There are good and bad people in EVERY faith and no-faith groups. Taking some criminals as if they represent any religion is pure ignorance.

Shalom!

তাই মুসলমানেরা যেখানে সংখ্যাগরিষ্ঠ, সেখানে তাদের ইসলামি সমাজ বা রাষ্ট্র গঠন করার সব ধরনের চেষ্টা করা তাদের অধিকার। এটাকে সাম্প্রদায়িক চেতনা বলে নিন্দা করা যায় না।

Make Bangladesh an Islamic Sariah country and cut throat the Hindus and other minorities in broad day light.  Or either foercefully convert their women and marry them.  If they are not agreed to marry your people then rape them.  This PRACTICE is not new in Islam.  It was a common practice in Nabiji's time. Nabiji himself had raped many Jews and nonbelievers women (on this context Mollahs are very defensive to shield Nabiji and admire Nabiji). Then mentally and also physically torture  them in any place, e.g. market, town, or when they walk  by your mosque side.  Drive them to India and grasp their properties.   
  
Where there are Muslim majority, Hindus and other minorities are at razor danger.  Examples are  Deganga of North 24 Parganas (90 % Muslims) , Kashmir (99% Muslims), Mollah Puram (60 % Muslims) of Kerala,  India.  So it can be easily understandable what will be the condition of Hindus and  Buddhists  in a Muslim majority geographical country.  Hundreds of thousands are like  you in Bangladesh.  So in coming future there will be mass murder of Hindus and Buddhists in Bangladesh or they have to convert to desert Bedouin religion / dictatorship. 
 
But Muslims in Hindu Majority areas are well protected by Indian Laws and society people and they are happy.
 
What the Talebans are doing in Pakistan and Afghanistan is also nayez as per Quran specially the part written during Nabiji's  stay in Medina.

         Example from Mr. Hannan' writing where there are, on average, 3-5 grand lies per sentence:মুসলমানেরা যেখানে সংখ্যাগরিষ্ঠ, সেখানে তাদের ইসলামি সমাজ বা রাষ্ট্র গঠন করার সব ধরনের চেষ্টা করা তাদের অধিকার। এটাকে সাম্প্রদায়িক চেতনা বলে নিন্দা করা যায় না। অসাম্প্রদায়িক অর্থ যার কোনো সম্প্রদায় নেই। তার মানে তার কোনো আদর্শ নীতিবোধ নেই। ধরনের নীতিহীনতা নীতিহীন লোক দিয়ে কোনো কল্যাণ হতে পারে না।

             The majority/minority of population count depends on what principle of classification
We REJECT the British-introduced system of pre-selected classification of people  by their religion.  The principle of categorizing of people by their religion is not followed by any official administrative procedure in Bangladesh.  Why should it be the basis of declaring the State to have a religious identity? You want another massacre of 1947?  The rest of Hannan's statements are too evil and too ridiculous to even find words to rebut!                    Shame on such lie-mongering munafiqui! This is truly veering closely on committing 'kufr' on a grand scale.

I wonder, how,having few words exchanged, you gave me titles like "dark mind" "jahil" etc. I even didn't present any view, I just put the references and said its up-to the audience to decide. Who is to blame to be judgmental? Me who would love to call himself an Islamist or a self proclaimed 'secular muslim' like you? who is more open minded or liberal for instance?

I should say (if I not, I should be guilty of hiding the truth) that Sayyid Abul A'la Mawdudi never ever cooperated with the British and neither did he approved of it and everything that is said about his ideas to implement "fascism" is all lies. Again a claim should be verified with references, which seems a not-so-comfortable thing with you. And i gave part of your line because I was really shocked to see the word perpetrators of communalism before S A Hannan. That was my point of interest. I was not trying to manipulate or anything.
And again you don't wanna give references to "Jahils" like me, nothing to do in my part.

I am not the type of person who gives random fatwa about random people, I leave the matter of you with Allah subhanahu ta'la, the omnipotent the merciful.

And I pray to Him that may Allah(SWT) shower your life with joy, love and may his hands of mercy encompass you.

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah

        Dear Mr. Nirjhor.                                It is strange to read your response! Why have you quoted only HALF my sentence and left out the part that I emphasized with bold letters? Here is my sentence again:Communalism is an artificially generated ethnic and religious hatred and though its perpetrators, like S. A. Hannan, would like it to be about 'religion' it is really about Politics of power.
      It is what has been termed as "identity politics" that was started by the British colonial Admin.  They are the ones who began counting people (in 1872 Census of Bengal) by their religious identities. It was the mainstay of their "divide and rule" policy.  Never before did any Muslim ruler of any part of India made any calculation of majority/minority of population division by religion. The history of Bengal (and the rest of Indian subcontinent) is marked by interactive, multi-religious characteristics. "Our religion is not our only identity, nor necessarily the identity to which we attach the greatest importance" (Amartya Sen in a lecture before Oxford University, 1999).      I have studied the British colonial writings and their policies to rule India.  So had Abul ala Moududi who had the added advantage of having lived under imperialism.  I hate almost every aspect of colonialism.  Moududi secretly admired British imperialism and wanted to replace the Western Empire with his own Islamic Empire. The Partition of India in 1947 was according to the British prescription of "identity" politics.  The War of Liberation in 1971 rejected this colonial legacy of "identity" politics.           Therein lies the difference between the Jamaat and the Mukti dreamers who fought for Bangladesh, FREE from colonial policy-induced religious identity.
                 We do not reject religion or even its cultural importance. We, secular Muslims, do not shun or quarrel with Islam. Some of us may even be namazee mussulmans. What we reject is this "identity politics". Is that CLEAR? We do not love EMPIRES. Therefore NO ISLAMIC EMPIRE FOR US.  Thank you.            Sorry, I am unable to "enlighten" your dark mind with "a single piece of writing of S A Hannan"  because neither you nor Hannan have let Allah's Noor enter your Jahil heart.

Dear Farida,
You wrote,
\\Communalism is an artificially generated ethnic and religious hatred and though its perpetrators, like S. A. Hannan//

Could you please enlighten us with just a single piece of writting of S A Hannan where he even slightly instigated or approved it? If you can't do so then we are sorry to buy this idea.

Shahriar Kabir has a very definite vested interest and is himself from a particular tent which is well known for its political witch haunting Jamaat-phobic attitude. His reference can't be acceptable. Why can't we rather try more academic one like
1. Vanguard of Islamic Revolution The JamaAt-I Islami of Pakistan 

by Seyyed Vali Reza Nasr Univ. of Cal. Press ( A phD dissertation and a prosecution document of Intl Crimes Tribunal Dhaka)
[http://www.amazon.com/Vanguard-Islamic-Revolution-Islami-Pakistan/dp/0756754577]

2.
Pakistan-Failure in National Integration [Hardcover]

Rounaq Jahan
Studies of the East Asian Institute, Columbia University. University Press Ltd ,Bangladesh
[http://www.amazon.com/Pakistan-Failure-National-Integration-R-Jahan/dp/9840512676]

I hope A prosecution document of ICT and a book by
Rounaq Jahan from UPL will be 'non-partisan' to all of us. Serious and sincere discussion will help us understand that What Jamaat e Islami and other global moderate Islamist trends think about communalism and minority rights.

সাম্প্রদায়িকতা বলতে বাম সেকুলাররা ইসলাম, ইসলামি দল, ইসলামপ্রীতি ইসলামি রাষ্ট্র দাবির প্রতি ইঙ্গিত করে থাকেন। এরা ইসলামি দল নিষিদ্ধ করা চান, শিক্ষায় ইসলামের কোনো স্থান চান না।
    
The above is a horrible tangle of BIG lies and half-truths all knotted and twisted cleverly in a jilebi.
First, no one, not even a  moron, ever called Islam, the religion itself, সাম্প্রদায়িকতা.
Communalism is an artificially generated ethnic and religious hatred and though its perpetrators, like S. A. Hannan, would like it to be about 'religion' it is really about Politics of power.
       
           From the inception of Jamaati Islami politics the party, in the mid-1940s, has been stamped with unmistakable signs of European fascism. Moulana Abul Kalam Azad took one look at the draft-manifesto presented by Abul ala Moududi and sternly told him to abandon the fascist idea.

 [People are requested hereby to view the documentary movie made by Shariar Kabir called Jihad Without Border where there is an extensive interview of Moududi's son, Haider Faruq Moududi talking about the folly of his father]

রামু, সাম্প্রদায়িকতা অসাম্প্রদায়িকতা

শাহ আবদুল হান্নান

কক্সবাজারের রামুতে দু'টি অত্যন্ত দুঃখজনক ঘটনা ঘটেছে। একটি হচ্ছে ফেসবুকে উত্তম কুমার বড়য়ার অ্যাকাউন্টে কুরআনের এক চিত্র, যার ওপর একজন নারী পা দিয়ে রেখেছে। দ্বিতীয়ত, এর প্রতিক্রিয়ায় রামুর বৌদ্ধ গ্রামে হামলা এবং কয়েকটি বৌদ্ধ উপাসনালয় পুড়িয়ে দেয়া। দু'টি ঘটনাই ক্ষমার অযোগ্য। কুরআনের অসম্মান মুসলিম জাতির কাছে অসহ্য একটি বিষয়। অন্য দিকে একদল মুসলিমের প্রতিক্রিয়ায় বৌদ্ধপল্লীতে হামলা কোনো বিচারেই মেনে নেয়া যায় না। ইসলামেও এর কোনো স্থান নেই। জন্য বাংলাদেশের সব ইসলামি দল এর বিরুদ্ধে বিবৃতি দিয়েছে। অক্টোবর ডেইলি স্টারের রিপোর্টে দেখা যায়, একটি ফোন রিপেয়ারের দোকান থেকে এর সূত্রপাত। দোকানের মালিক উমর ফারুক উত্তম কুমার বড়য়ার ফেসবুকের অ্যাকাউন্টে কুরআনের অপমানজনক ছবিটি দেখেন। খবর অন্যরা জানলে তারা তার কাছে কপি চান। ফারুক ছবিটির কপি তাদের দেন। পরে আরো লোক এসে ছবি চান। ফারুক দিতে না চাইলেও শেষ পর্যন্ত দিতে বাধ্য হন। এভাবেই ছবিটি ছড়িয়ে পড়ে। পরবর্তীকালে লোকজন একত্র হয়ে মিছিল করে এবং একসময় বৌদ্ধপল্লীতে হামলা চালায়।

আমি রিপোর্ট থেকে বুঝতে পেরেছি উত্তম কুমার বড়য়ার ফেসবুক থেকে ছবিটি ছড়িয়ে পড়ায় হঠা উত্তেজনায় দুর্ঘটনা ঘটে, যা নিঃসন্দেহে নিন্দনীয়। এতে কোনো রাজনৈতিক দল বা ইসলামিক দল বা রোহিঙ্গারা জড়িত নয়; যদিও সরকারের ভেতরের এবং বাইরের কিছু লোক ঘটনার জন্য রোহিঙ্গা এবং বিভিন্ন রাজনৈতিক ইসলামি দলকে দায়ী করছেন। বিশেষ করে সরকারের এটা করা উচিত নয়।

ঘটনাকে কেন্দ্র করে সেকুলার বামের কিছু লোক নতুন করে সাম্প্রদায়িকতার অভিযোগ তুলছেন যে, এটা সম্প্রদায়িক চেতনার জন্য হচ্ছে। এটা সেকুলার বামের পুরনো রোগ। আর যারা বাংলাদেশের রাজনীতির সাথে পরিচিত তারা জানেন যে, সাম্প্রদায়িকতা বলতে বাম সেকুলাররা ইসলাম, ইসলামি দল, ইসলামপ্রীতি ইসলামি রাষ্ট্র দাবির প্রতি ইঙ্গিত করে থাকেন। এরা ইসলামি দল নিষিদ্ধ করা চান, শিক্ষায় ইসলামের কোনো স্থান চান না।

পরিপ্রেক্ষিতে সাম্প্রদায়িকতা অসাম্প্রদায়িকতা সম্পর্কে কিছু আলোচনা করব। সমাজতত্ত্বে বা সোসিওলজিতে সম্প্রদায় (কমিউনিটি, সোসাইটি) একটি পজিটিভ
