Mr. Anis, I am afraid I have to call you callous again. Your poor posting shows your shallow knowledge to understand facts. I am sure you have heard fine Bangla phrase ALPO BIDDA BHOYONKORI. Mr. Anis's posting sounds like Constitution Party was founded with taxpayers money when the fact is the name of the party it self was Tax Payers Party (name of the party) when founded in 1992 and later in 1999 the party name was changed from Tax Payers Party to Constitutional Party. Mr. Anis is wrong again (ALPO BIDDA BHOYONKORI), when he claims Constitution Party is a religious party. The fact is Constitution Party is not a religious party at all. Therefore, Constitution Party is not comparable to Jamaat-E-Islami of Bangladesh. Rather one can say they believe in one God and therefore religion. However, unlike Jamaat-E-Islami Constitutional Party does not operate to establish God's (Christianity) kingdom, rather Constitutional Party support the Article 1 of Bill of Rights that reads Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. I will ask readers to research themselves going to Constitutional Party official web portal to get clear understanding that this is NOT A RELIGIOUS PARTY but with lot of other beliefs such as right to own gun, their stand on anti immigration, their opposition against federal government excessive power , opposition against excessive police power, they also believe in religion. Link to constitution party http://www.constitutionparty.com These are the main principle of Constitution Party, which has nothing to do with religion. They are similar to Awami League or BNP of Bangladesh, which are not religious party, but has expressed their stand on religion and religious freedom comparing to Communist Party of Bangladesh Focus of the U.S. Constitution Party The Constitution party believes that it should focus on the following: - advocating the lawful and proper divisions of government at the federal, state and local levels
- championing the provisions and limitations of the Constitution and enforcing them accordingly
- training and preparing future candidates at all levels of government, from state to federal.
The U.S. Constitution Party is proud of the fact that it is: - anti-deindustrialization
- anti-free trade
- anti-unchecked immigration
- in favor of a strong national defense
- in opposition to special rights for homosexuals
- in opposition to expansion of unlawful police laws
- in opposition to foreign aid
- pro-American sovereignty
- pro-gun
- pro-life.
Bangladesh must enact its original constitution of 1972, which is almost same as the US constitution on the matter of religion. Bangladesh constitution of 1972 also affirms the separation of religion and government. Mr. Anis being US citizen must uphold the US constitutional clause of separation of state and church therefore religion and government. There is NO problem if a political party says they believe in religion but the problem arises when fundamentalist party such as Jamaat-E-Islami says they will impose their religion (Islam) among all citizen of the country if they can go to power, which is somewhat Taliban of Afghanistan did. We will not let Jamaat and other religious bigots allow to convert our land into Taliban Afghanistan. Jamaat-E-Islami must be banned not just for violating the very principle of constitution but more because of their treacherous role and their perfidious affiliation with killing millions of Bengalis during our liberation war. Further, Jamaat-E-Islami is not even a mainstream Islamic party but perches a harsh version of Islam, which is unknown to the overwhelming majority who follows Hanafi-Sunni mazhab.

Only KGB and RAW supporters or supported agents at home or abroad can shout to kill democracy like Shiekh Mujibur Rahman to make Bangladesh a perpetual colony of Anti-Islam country. Most importantly, The Constitution Party, a political party of the USA is based on religious ideologies. The Constitution Party was founded as as U.S. Taxpayers' Party in 1992 and as Constitution Party in 1999. For more information about this party please visit: http://www.constitutionparty.com/party_platform.php#Preamble Israel is based on religion. Even, BJP, an Indian political party is formed on religious ideologies and has masterminded and committed several genocides agiant Muslims which Supreme Court of India has ruled very recently. I'm not a Jamat-e-Islam supporter but as a Bangladeshi American I stand on the principles of the USA , and as a Bangladeshi expatriate I am against banning religious based political party in Bangladesh for the sake of democracy. Let freeom prevail at all level. Anis Ahmed
