[mukto-mona] [মুক্তমনা বাংলা ব্লগ] 'বাংলাদেশ- উদার না মৌলবাদি সমাজের পথে?'

মুক্তমনা বাংলা ব্লগ has posted a new item,
'বাংলাদেশ- উদার না মৌলবাদি
সমাজের পথে?'


সমাজ, তার চাহিদা বদলায় দ্রুত।
বিবর্তন হয় সেই দিকে-যেদিকের
উৎপাদন শক্তি বেশী। সবাই ভাল
থাকতে চায়। এই চাওয়াটাই
বস্তবাদি উদার সমাজের ভিত্তি।
বাংলাদেশ সেই দিকেই এগোচ্ছে।
আস্তে না-দ্রুত। মৌলবাদ
ধ্বংসের ক্ষেত্রে হয়ত ভারতকেও
দ্রুত ছাড়িয়ে যাবে বাংলাদেশ।

[mukto-mona] CIA Agents Fighting Within ISIL Ranks in Syria and Iraq



300 Americans, CIA Agents Fighting Within ISIL Ranks in Syria and Iraq: US Political Commentator


http://www.globalresearch.ca/300-americans-cia-agents-fighting-within-isil-ranks-in-syria-and-iraq-us-political-commentator/5398239

DeBar stated that there are perhaps 300 Americans fighting with ISIL


"and then hundreds more US regulars, with CIA or whatever military formation they have, under the direction of US intelligence, that are a part of this. It doesn't require that they are American nationals, of course, just that their paycheck is signed in Washington or Langley."


"If you look at the outcomes of every action that this group has taken, they facilitate actions that the United States has wanted to take, has declared that it wanted to take a number of times, or has taken when it could, but it can't get the authority from the [UN] Security Council to approve because they violate the integrity and sovereignty of either Iraq and/or Syria, and also would enable actions that violate a resolution that just passed the House of Representatives massively, last week or the week before, that attempt to constrains, at least on paper, the president from making anymore wars without specific authority from Congress,"

[mukto-mona] Victor Stenger, Physicist and Prolific Atheist Author, is Dead at 79



Dr. Victor J. Stenger, the physicist and prolific author died late Wednesday night in Hawaii at the age of 79.

Stenger was a prominent figure in  "New Atheist" movement, and  his books offered up how the universe works and how it came to be, without resorting to supernatural explanations. God: The Failed Hypothesis was the first NYT bestseller in (secular publisher) Prometheus Books' history. He is famous for his memorable phrase, "Science flies you to the moon. Religion you into buildings."
 
I had some personal connection with Prof. Stenger. I pretty much collected and read his every books. His books and writings influenced me tremendously.   I wrote a piece in Bangla on Dr. Stenger, which you may read from here:

চলে গেলেন প্রখ্যাত বিজ্ঞানী এবং মুক্তমনা দার্শনিক ভিক্টর স্টেঙ্গর

[mukto-mona] Pakistan, Its Own Worst Enemy



Editorial

Pakistan, Its Own Worst Enemy

By THE EDITORIAL BOARD
August 29, 2014
Pakistan faces very big problems: a failing economy; a Taliban insurgency; and persistent tension with India, which has resulted again in exchanges of cross-border fire. The country's leaders and citizens obviously need to join in common cause to put the country on a steadier course.
Alas, this is Pakistan. For the past two weeks, thousands of protesters in Islamabad have been demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. His critics have every right to express their views peacefully. But forcing his resignation is the last thing Pakistan needs.
It would further polarize society, weaken the fragile democratic institutions and strengthen a powerful military, which says it wants to be out of politics but has regularly staged coups and otherwise sought to control civilian governments for three decades.
Mr. Sharif came to office in a parliamentary election 15 months ago, the first peaceful, democratic transition of power between civilian leaders in the country's history. It was a hopeful moment; some 60 percent of voters turned out, and most people seemed willing to accept his victory.
The current anti-Sharif anger is being stoked by two men. Imran Khan, a prominent cricketer turned politician, wants new elections. Muhammad Tahir-ul Qadri, a cleric of the Sufi Islam sect, is pushing for the creation of a unity government. The protesters have demanded electoral reforms and Mr. Sharif's removal because of alleged corruption in the 2013 election. Some believe that the army, which has an uneasy history with Mr. Sharif, has had a hand in the crisis. Reports that Mr. Khan and Mr. Qadri are negotiating with the army chief of staff are unsettling.
Mr. Sharif's brief tenure has been marked by sectarian tensions, power outages, insurgent-related violence and a failure to deliver on campaign promises of economic revival. He has also named cronies to high posts. But forcing him out now and in this way is not the answer. A smarter approach is to make democratic processes work through reforms to prevent electoral fraud and rampant cronyism. It will also require negotiation and compromise.
The United States, preoccupied with crises elsewhere, has shown little urgency in trying to calm the situation, even though Pakistan's stability is crucial to regional order — especially as American troops withdraw from Afghanistan. It should be pressing Pakistan's army, in particular, to reject any idea of staging a coup. Mr. Sharif should resolve to govern better while the military focuses on its primary concern, defeating the Taliban threat.

'দুই পৃথিবী'


হিন্দুত্ববাদি কে? ইসলামিস্টই

আমার সংজ্ঞা সহজ, সরল,
সরলবোধ্য।


ধর্মানুভূতি আসলেই একধরনের

ইসলামের সমালোচনা শুনলেই

তারা হচ্ছে হিন্দুত্ববাদি বা
ইসলামিস্ট। আর এক্ষেত্রে
সাম্প্রদায়িক নেতাদের ভূমিকা
হচ্ছে যাদের মধ্যে এই সুরসুড়ি
আছে, বীর্য্য পতন না হওয়া
পর্যন্ত তাদের হ্যান্ড জব
দেওয়া।

প্রতিদিনের মতই ভিড় ঠেলে
এগিয়ে যেতেই মেয়েটাকে বাসে
উঠতে দেওয়া হলো না।
কন্ডাক্টরের হাঁক,


'মহিলা তুলিস না। বাসে মহিলা
সিট নাই।'








এটা ঢাকা শহরে থাকা কর্মজীবী
নারী কিংবা শিক্ষার্থীদের
জীবনে প্রতিদিনের ঘটনা, যাঁরা
নিয়মিত বাসে যাতায়াত করেন।
সারা দিন ক্লাস-অফিস শেষে
ক্লান্ত শরীরে দাঁড়িয়ে
থাকতে হয় অসহায়ের মতো। একটা
বাসের জন্য অধীর আগ্রহে
অপেক্ষা তাদের; যদিও বেশীর [...]
