We will be in contact with US Congress, US Senate and US State Department to press our demands-

 

We, Human Rights Center for Bangladesh (HRCB), Demand Justice and urge to stop Brutality

 

We urge the US Congress, US Senate and State Department:

* Designate Jamat-E-Islam Bangladesh as a Terrorist Organization.

* Ask Bangladesh Government and Main Opposition to Protect Hindus, Buddhist, and Christian Minorities.

 

We Urge Bangladesh Government:

* Charge the perpetrators with “crimes against humanity” and give them exemplary punishments for their atrocities.

* Provide security for the Life and Livelihood of Minorities.

* Rehabilitate the victims of brutality and rebuild their temples and houses. 

 

In parallel, we would like to extend humanitarian supports to the victims of brutality. We need your help to reach those support directly to the victims with whatever we can do.

1. By saying that "primarily by ISI and initially backed by America. We know how that worked out", you have avoided answering my questions.
2. You have love for what is happening in Malaysia, Turkey, and Egypt. What is your opinion about the US (probably your adopted country) and Bangladesh (your motherland) (1972) constitutions? Don't you think that they are better than or at least as good as those of Malayasia, Turkey, and Egypt? Why can't you accept the principle of "separation of church and state"? I don't understand how you prefer, for example, the Muslim Brotherhood (primarily for the Sunni) to the secular rules which theoretically provide equal rights to all citizens. Admittedly even a secular constitution is not perfect. Why can't we build on what we have in such constitutions? Medina Charter happened 1500 hundred years ago. Since then we have advanced and more progressive thoughts. Abolition of slavery and expanded women's rights are two of them. Whatever is good in Medina Charter, I am sure, has been captured in the great constitutions of the world. Why do we have to stick to only the Medina Charter exclusively?
3. This is a time to strongly specifically condemn Jamat-Shibir's heinous activities which you seem to be unwiling to do. This is also the time to criticize BNP for its present role with respect to trial of the war criminals and its position on Jamat-Shibir's heinous activities. One will not do it only if he or she is allied with Jamat-BNP politics. You need to understand that this is a serious moment and it has great implications for our great spirits of the liberation war.
4. I feel good when you say, "However if you want to speak about Jamaat, I do understand where you are coming from." Yes, I come from the big forum which believes in the great spirits (secularism is one of them) of 1971 liberation struggle. Are you coming from a different place? Do you endorse Jamat's anti-Ahmadiya stance?
5. You are confusing between an Islamic rule and a Muslim rule. An Islamic rule is essentially biased against the religious minorities. Mujib was a Muslim ruler but he believed in the four state principles until the notorious 4th Amendment. Pakistan, an Islamic Republic, cannot have a non-Muslim President. Pakistan has declared Ahmadiyas non-Muslims. Muslim Brotherhood cannot have a woman President.
6. If you read holy books critically, you will see that many of the teachings have to be reinterpreted in the light of the present context. 
7.  It is not only Bush who took the nation to war. Brilliant presidents also have done the same thing. This is a different issue and cannot be used as an excuse to undermine the US constitution which is not yet perfect and that's why which is still evolving hopefully for the better. Is not your favorite Turkey messing up with the Kurds? Take the example from Bangladesh also. What has Zia done with the CHT people? 
8. Islamic rule is fundamentally flawed as it is not secular and cannot guarantee equal rights to all the citizens including women and probably non-Sunni sects. Only one with religious ego can feel good with the tag "Islamic" in the constitution, banking, and legal systems.

There are a lot of people who would readily agree with that.

The latter is essentially divisive in a multi-religious country. It cannot but be biased against the religious minorities. Aurangzeb turned to Islam only to weaken the great Mughal empire. >>>>>>>>> I respectfully disagree. History tells us that, Islam was used positively and it gave birth to earliest pluralistic communities in many places. Click here to watch a PBS documentary on this topic. A theocracy is run by representatives of God and they follow the divine authorities >>>>>>>>>>> That is NOT the case of Turkey, Egypt or Malaysia. Even other countries are "Electing" Islamic parties to power. Maybe you are thinking of Catholic church, Japanese Royal family or Iran (Which has part of the leadership by election and part by selection). They follow rules and laws rooted in holy and revealed scriptures. Because of all these, a theocracy is flawless and infallible. >>>>>>>>>> I can only speak of Islamic concept and I am yet to see any "Problem" in Islamic text itself. However if you don't have the right people, they are screw things up pretty easily. Even in a mature democracy like the US, you folks elected a world class idiot like George Bush TWICE, who took the nation to war by "Mistake" and worked as a catalyst of a world wide recession. He also curbed many civil rights for American citizens. So Islamic rule is not much different. When you have dumb asses for rulers, they can ruin a country in a hurry.

And I understand you have preference for "Secular" system and I have no problem respecting you for it. Personally I feel, the "Right theocracy" can positively enhance the secular concept and address needs of people.

Just look at the world wide banking industry scandals. Only Islamic banking offered a credible and workable alternative to current "Interest based" model. You can do your own research on this. Money always talks and BS walks.....

I don't know if the nation will remember this. BNP has a lot of freedom fighters who have been marginalized and made voiceless by the dictatorial power of Khaleda Zia who does not seem to understand and appreciate the significance of the great spirits of our liberation movement. BNP is in wrong hands. Khaleda has turned BNP into Jamat's puppet. 

Islamic rule and Muslim rule are not synonymous. A Muslim ruler can be secular but an Islamic ruler cannot. The latter is essentially divisive in a multi-religious country. It cannot but be biased against the religious minorities. Aurangzeb turned to Islam only to weaken the great Mughal empire. 

If I were you I would not have measured theocracy and other forms government on the same scale. A theocracy is run by representatives of God and they follow the divine authorities. They follow rules and laws rooted in holy and revealed scriptures. Because of all these, a theocracy is flawless and infallible. The other forms of government are run by a whole bunch of humans who bring with them their human limitations. I have said all this because you have high regard for theocracy.

I count myself as a true "Mukto-Mona", so I have no attachments with any political parties. In this forum, I made in abundantly clear, I am against ALL sort of "Violent politics". Unfortunately all major political parties have "Violent people" among them and frequently they are "Used" by their respective parties. I think we have to go beyond name calling and take legal and solid measures to stand up against violence. Unfortunately our highly educated members in this forum (Most of them) are UNABLE to get out of their party affiliation and think FREELY.


Mullah Omar was no a tool used by ISI. Don't think they had "Promotion of Islam" in their hearts!! I have given you some SPECIFIC examples of countries which I called "Work in progress". NO matter what system we prefer, we have to honor democratic system (So power always stays to common people).


Islam have shown the world how to live in a mufti-religious country. So we have hundreds of years of experience to fall back into. One member recently said, even in India, religion was NOT imposed by Muslim rulers.



5. I have mentioned the period of Khulafa-e-Rashedeen as one of the best periods in Islamic history. My point was that even this period, although run under the complete guidance of God, could not guarantee a system free from power struggle.

1. Nobody will say that people enjoyed less religious freedom during the time when one of the state principles was secularism. Introduction of religious flavor in the constitution by Zia and Ershad was obviously for political purpose. People in general don't care. It is the political elements (they may not have any personal political ambition) who try to convince them about the necessity of mingling religion with politics, legal system, and socio-economic system. The so called educated people should stop doing this. They do not realize that knowingly or unknowingly they are simply encouraging Jamat kind of politics only to divide the country. 
 
2. I really wonder why you do not consider Jamat as a fascist force. Look at its history. Particularly reflect on the anti-Ahmadiya riot it incited. Look at its present activities. Look at its attitudes towards our independence.   
 
3. Work-in-progress! Was Afghanistan under Mollah Omar not a finished good? Or was it still a work-in-progress? Can you please mention some countries that can be called works-in-progress? I am curious.
 
4. The modern world is multi-religious. Any particular religion must not get priority. If Manu, for example, has any thing good in it, it will obviously have respectable place in the legal system or constitution. It does not need to be specifically mentioned. The constitution and legal system of any modern secular state are the best that one society can have. It has evolved over time. And it is still evolving. It has captured every thing good in the various religious, social, legal, and political systems from the past. Take a particular religion of your choice and compare it with, for example, 1972 constitution of Bangladesh. Do you really need any thing different from the 1972 constitution except the fact that it can still be improved?

1. The concept of "complete code of life" stretched beyond personal religious life is nothing but a political slogan by those who want to capture the state power.


>>>>>>>>>>>> Partly true. There are millions of people around the world believes in it without having any political ambitions.


but those who use religion to capture power absolutely are. These people are divisive.


>>>>>>>>> I agree. Religion should NOT be "Abused" as a tool to get to power.

However since Islam offers a complete solution, it can be offered as an alternative to whatever other choices people may have. Therefore, we should NOT be banning any system from "Free people", rather allow people to pick the best system of their choice.

This is the situation in Egypt and Turkey today. Both place have Islamic parties came to power via pure democratic process and if they FAIL to deliver, people will retain the power to revert back to a better system for themselves.
Jamat is a prime example. It is not possible for them to offer a peaceful and cooperative pluralistic society. They have other vices too.



>>>>>>>>>> This is a popular perception of Jamaat and unless they work hard to change this, they will have VERY hard time to be accepted to common people.

The era of Khulafa-e-Rashedeen ( or Kingdom of Ashoka to take as another example) may be an exception although that period was also not free from internal conflicts.


>>>>>>>>>>> Having a theocratic state is NOT an utopia but assuming there are some system which will ALWAYS remain "Conflict-free" is an utopia/pipe-dream. Even the best among us always had some opposition or some groups who actively opposed them.


You can think of Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Jesus son of Mary (PBUH), Muhammad Bin Abdullah (PBUH), Hazrat Ali (RA) etc. Even Rabindranath had quite a few serious critics during his time. Therefore, even the best countries of the our world have to have police, army, courts etc to punish bad people and preserve peace for rest of us.



You will probably never aspire to live in an Islamic theocratic state like Talibani Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, or even Iran (don't take this personally as this applies to anybody who believes and loves theocracy.) You will probably prefer your kid being in Harvard to being in a world renowned madrasah.

If I earn my own death, I will see that the Hindu in Bangladesh will dwindle to ~5% of the total population by 2025.  Let us not forget that the Hindu population  was approximately 37% in 1947.  And our great general Ziaur Rahman helped us supercede the  people of the hilly regions by the plain land people. Salahuddin Bhai, I have a better solution. All the Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh can get converted to the religion of the majority of the land and there will be no problem for the Hindu or the minority, as the words Hindu or minority will not exist in the vocabulary of the Jamat-BNP-Awami League.

This attack on Hindus and their places of worship is certainly a great shame for whole of Bangladesh, specially for the majority Muslims. We've seen this pattern in the past - when there is a political, social or religious issue in Bangladesh the minorities were attacked. It was done by Awami Legaue, by BNP, as well as by Jamat. The politicians will cite 101 reasons for this occurance. But we're interested for the justice, we want to see this heinous crime to be stopped once and for all. Hindus have nothing to do with Delwar Hossain Sayeedi, they neither supported nor opposed his trial and the subsequent verdict. But they are now made victims of this issue.This is not a 'dhanga', this is one-sided attack. This has to stop not for the reason of salvaging the good image of Bangladesh. The attack on the minorities has to stop for ensuring humanity, justice and fairness. The yardstick to judge whether a society is civilized or not is whether its weaker population group like women, children and minorities are treated fairly, whether they receive the same treatment the majority enjoy. In this measure we fail, we're undoubtly wrong in our claim to be civilized .
If we have a trace of sense or humanity still surving in us we should rise against this crime, right Now.

Hindus under attack

6 temples, houses burnt outside Dhaka

Lashing a déjà vu of 1971, Jamaat-Shibir fanatics yesterday wrecked havoc on the Hindu community across the country.
They damaged at least six temples, including one of Buddhists, and torched houses and business establishments of Hindu people in Noakhali, Gaibandha, Chittagong, Rangpur, Sylhet, Chapainawabganj and elsewhere in the country.
In Rajganj of Noakhali, Jamaat-Shibir men set ablaze a temple and eight houses of the Hindu community.
They also traded bullets with law enforcers in Datterhat under Sadar Police Station and in Rajganj under Begumganj Police Station, leaving two people killed. The deceased were identified as Khokon, 17, a pickup van assistant, and Liton (28), a fish monger, reports our Noakhali correspondent.
The Jamaat-Shibir men also looted a jewellery shop owned by one Biplob Sarkar at Chandraganj Purbo Bazar in Begumganj.
Witnesses and police said hours after top Jamaat leaders Delawar Hossain Sayedee had been sentenced to death, the marauding activists equipped with firearms, iron rods and kerosene set fire to Harishiva temple in Rajganj market area at 3:30pm.
"They returned an hour later and this time we had no choice but to flee the area. They set eight houses on fire with kerosene," schoolteacher Shankar Chandra, who lost his house in the attack, told The Daily Star over the phone.
Some 50 Hindu people used to live in the houses burnt down, he said, adding that all but a few people had managed to escape to safety. Those left behind had been beaten up and kicked out of their houses by the Jamaat-Shibir attackers.
"We ran for our lives leaving everything behind. I was only seven during the Liberation War in 1971, but it didn't feel this insecure even then," said Shankar Chandra.
During the attack, the Jamaat-Shibir men also threatened newsmen to keep from covering the incident and took away cameras of photojournalists. They also forcefully picked up television crew Mohtasim Billah Sabuj. Locals later rescued Sabuj and took him to safety.
Assistant Police Superintendent (ASP) of Begumganj circle Mahbub Alam told The Daily Star that informed of the arson, police and firefighters had reached Rajganj around 5:00pm. Police had a hard time containing the violence in the area, as Jamaat-Shibir men had outnumbered the law enforcers.
When police tried to bring the situation under control, an exchange of gunshots between the attackers and law enforcers took place. Fish monger Liton died in the incident, said the ASP.

[mukto-mona] খালেদা জিয়ার প্রতি গণজাগরণ মঞ্চের আহ্বান : যুদ্ধাপরাধীদের পক্ষ ত্যাগ করুন !



যুদ্ধাপরাধীদের পক্ষ ত্যাগ করুন
খালেদা জিয়ার প্রতি গণজাগরণ মঞ্চের আহ্বান
আসিফুর রহমান সাগর
উত্তরার গণজাগরণ মঞ্চের মহাসমাবেশ থেকে বেগম খালেদা জিয়ার প্রতি যুদ্ধাপরাধীদের পক্ষ ত্যাগ করার আহ্বান জানানো হয়েছে। গতকাল রবিবার বিকালে গণজাগরণ মঞ্চের মুখপাত্র ইমরান এইচ সরকার বিএনপি চেয়ারপারসন বেগম খালেদা জিয়ার প্রতি আহ্বান জানিয়ে বলেন, আপনি মুক্তিযোদ্ধা মেজর জিয়াউর রহমানের স্ত্রী। আপনার কাছে যুদ্ধাপরাধীদের দায়ে অভিযুক্ত রাজনৈতিক দল জামায়াত-শিবিরের পক্ষ ত্যাগ করার আহ্বান জানাই।

তিনি আরো বলেন, বর্তমান প্রজন্ম একটি অহিংস আন্দোলন করে চলেছে। কিন্তু যুদ্ধাপরাধীদের রাজনৈতিক সংগঠন জামায়াত-শিবির সারাদেশে সহিংসতার মধ্য দিয়ে আমাদের আন্দোলনকে দমাতে চাইছে। আমরা রগকাটা, সন্ত্রাসী, যুদ্ধাপরাধীদের বিরুদ্ধে আন্দোলন করছি আর জামায়াত-শিবির হিন্দু ধর্মাবলম্বীদের ওপর আক্রমণসহ সারাদেশে ধর্মকে ব্যবহার করে রাজনৈতিক অস্থিরতা সৃষ্টি করতে চাইছে।

ইমরান বলেন, আমরা ধর্মের নামে রাজনৈতিক ফায়দা হাসিল করার অপচেষ্টায় লিপ্ত রাজনৈতিক দল জামায়াত-শিবিরের বিরুদ্ধে। কিন্তু কোন ধর্মের বিরুদ্ধে নই। আমাদের শ্লোগান 'ধর্ম যার যার, রাষ্ট্র সবার।' সরকারের প্রতি হুঁশিয়ারি দিয়ে তিনি বলেন, আর কালক্ষেপণ নয়। জামায়াতকে নিষিদ্ধ করুন। জামায়াতকে নিষিদ্ধ করার বিকল্প নেই। কেননা, তারা মুক্তিযুদ্ধের পক্ষের অরাজনৈতিক ব্যক্তিত্বদেরও আক্রমণ শুরু করেছে। কয়েকদিনে বেশ কয়েকজনের হত্যার ঘটনা তারই প্রমাণ। ইমরান এইচ সরকার আরো বলেন, আমরা দেখতে পাচ্ছি, যুদ্ধাপরাধীদের বিরুদ্ধে যারাই কথা বলছেন, তারাই হত্যাকাণ্ডের স্বীকার হচ্ছেন। তাদের ওপরে হামলা হচ্ছে। আমরা সরকারের কাছে আগেও দাবি করেছি, এখনো বলছি। আন্দোলনকারী প্রত্যেকের নিরাপত্তা রাষ্ট্রকে নিশ্চিত করতে হবে। ইমরান বলেন, হরতাল, খুন কিংবা গুম দিয়ে আমাদের আন্দোলনকে দমানো যাবে না। আমরা ওই দিন যেকোন মূল্যে সমাবেশ করব। এছাড়া ১৩ মার্চ চট্টগ্রামে গণজাগরণ মঞ্চকে প্রতিহত করার জন্য যুদ্ধাপরাধীদের দোসররা যে হরতাল আহ্বান করেছে তাকেও প্রতিহত করার ঘোষণা দেয়া হয় গণজাগরণ মঞ্চ থেকে।

গতকাল উত্তরার ১১ নম্বর সেক্টরের প্রধান সড়কে দুপুর থেকেই গণজাগরণ মঞ্চে লোক সমাগম হতে থাকে। বিকাল চারটার পর পুরো এলাকা জনারণ্যে পরিণত হয়। উত্তরা, গাজীপুর, টঙ্গী, আশুলিয়া থেকে বিভিন্ন সংগঠন, শিক্ষা প্রতিষ্ঠানসহ বিভিন্ন অফিস ও প্রতিষ্ঠানের ব্যক্তিরা শ্লোগান দিয়ে গণজাগরণ মঞ্চের সঙ্গে একাত্মতা প্রকাশ করেন। শ্লোগানে শ্লোগানে মুখর হয়ে ওঠে উত্তরা।

জাতীয় সঙ্গীতের মধ্য দিয়ে শুরু হয় অনুষ্ঠান। এরপর বিভিন্ন ছাত্র সংগঠনের নেতৃবৃন্দ বক্তব্য প্রদান করেন। অনুষ্ঠানে বক্তৃতা দেন ছাত্রমৈত্রীর সভাপতি বাপ্পাদিত্য বসু, ছাত্র ইউনিয়নের সভাপতি এস এম শুভ, বিপ্লবী ছাত্রমৈত্রীর সভাপতি আব্দুর রউফ, ছাত্রলীগের সাধারণ সম্পাদক সিদ্দিকী নাজমুল আলম, জাসদ ছাত্রলীগের সাধারণ সম্পাদক মোঃ শামসুল ইসলাম সুমন, সমাজতান্ত্রিক ছাত্রফন্টের সাধারণ সম্পাদক মেহেদী হাসান তমাল, ছাত্রনেতা মীর রেজাউল আলম, জাহিদুর রহমান খান প্রমুখ। সবশেষে শপথ পাঠের মধ্য দিয়ে শেষ হয় মহাসমাবেশ।
