"If evidences are credible against Jamat.... they should be punished". This "if" statement is really surprising. Does this mean that Mr. Rahman is not aware of the role of Jamat in 1971? Does he have any doubt that the Jamat leaders under trial may be innocent? Does he not know about the agenda of Jamat to discriminate against other religions and against other sects within Islam? Is he not aware of the fact that the original 1972 constitution does not allow registration if religion based political party? I read an article many decades ago (nearly 40 years) probably written by Amal Sen. The article said that Jamat is not like Muslim League. Jamat is an ideology. It has agenda that has goes beyond a limited time and space. It wears different masks at different times. Democracy is one such mask. But their ultimate goal is to establish a theological state. Bangladesh should restore the original 1972 constitution and cancel registration of Jamat.
The articles by Muntasir Mamun and also different pieces by Farida Majid should be our eye opener.

His poor grasp of English (or any language) prevented him from getting the message that we do not want any lecture on "democracy" from the likes of him or S A Hannan (a gun-runner for Islamic terrorists in BD and an ardent supporter of Genocide 1971).
>>>>>>>>> You are read many hundreds of post I have written in discussion groups. I do NOT think I ever endorsed any political parties. ALL I have said that, EVERYONE should be dealt fairly and with the SAME rule.
If evidences are credible against Jammat or any other parties, they should be punished (Common sense!). Same rule should be applied to others as well.
I am not sure what prevents some of us to grasp this very simple logic?
The beauty of democracy is people have reasonably fair chances to judge politicians based on their performances and judge them accordingly. This "Safe guard" will guard the safety of any community. >> We do not want to tolerate such bs anymore.
>>>>>>>>>> Not sure if you are against democracy or not. There are plenty of Christian and Jewish political parties and the world is not falling apart because of them. As long they are NOT violent, what is wrong with them?
We have to separate violence/torture from politics. Divorcing religion from politics will only make them more popular to the mass (As seen in Turkey and Egypt).
I think you are misunderstanding the message of my previous posts.
Shalom!

Here we go again! Q. Rahman flattering himself! How can I, or anybody, have any 'prejudice' against him? He is not my neighbor, relative or kutumb, or a poet, artist, musician, teacher, social worker, political activist or writer -- people I closely or loosely associate with in my real life. I only know him on the internet. Day after day, month after month, year after year, we are exposed his dishonesty, lack of any original thinking, and plain 'munafequi' when it comes to topics on religion.

Earlier Q Rahman spoke in ridiculous, and utterly meaningless tautology that left unexplained what he meant by 'religion'. << The beauty of democracy is people have reasonably fair chances to judge politicians based on their performances and judge them accordingly. This "Safe guard" will guard the safety of any community. >> We do not want to tolerate such bs anymore.
Let us stop the EVIL of Jamaat and all other religious parties destroying our nation by spreading murder, arson, anarchy and mayhem.
STOP European style fascism in the guise of Jamaat-i-Islam!

Q. Rahman. the proseletyzer wants to lecture us about democracy
>>>>>>>>> When you start this way, I must be doing pretty bad job here. You are still with your prejudices intact. :-)
O K. Tell me, in your lecturing tone, how does a political party based on a religion function in a democracy?
>>>>>>>>>> Pretty simple if we are sincere. They "Play" by the SAME rule like every other parties and even communists. All parties and ideas should be welcomed as long NONE of them are violent in their ways. Once a party resort to violence, they should be dealt with by local laws.
Right now, pretty much all political parties are involved in corruption and violence.
As much as I disagree with BJP, they should be allowed to share their ideas and last polls suggested that, most Indians are not supporting their ideas.
We have to have a "Level playing field" for ALL parties. Problem starts when our politicians use one law for their party members and use other laws for opponents. That is NOT democracy. We have vibrant media and they are one of the most effective safeguards to uphold democracy.
Shalom!

O K. Tell me, in your lecturing tone, how does a political party based on a religion function in a democracy? Where would the 'beauty' reside? In India there is BJP flaunting the inability of Babasaheb Ambedker to stop the formation of religion-based political party from Indian Constitution due to the badmaishi of Hindu Mahasabha in 1947. Where do you see the 'beauty' in BJP politics in the functioning of current Indian democracy? How would you show us the 'beauty' in the politics of the crooks, criminals and mass-murderers among Jamaat members in Bangladesh?

Jamat was banned before, and the preachers of scientific socialism, JSD, gave them shelter. That is the reality of politics in Bangladesh. To render a snake harmless, one should remove it's poison tooth instead of killing it.
