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.

[I apologize fir the typos in my initial e-mail, corrected now]
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.

Subject: Hindus under attack
When would it stop? The law enforcement agencies need to be more vigilant. Resistance must be created by people from all walks of life. All peace loving, secular, and patriotic forces must come forward unitedly to thwart the evil scheme of Jamat-Shibir.

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.Almost at the same time, another group of Jamaat-Shibir men clashed and traded gunfire with police at Datterhat area leaving Khokon bullet-hit. He was declared dead when taken to Sadar hospital.CHITTAGONG Jamaat-Shibir men attacked two Hindu dominated localities at Jaldi union of Banshkhali upazila and set ablaze a Buddhist temple at Satkania upazila of the district yesterday.They set fire to houses at Dhopapara and Mohajonpara of the union and attacked people with sticks, iron rods and sharp weapons, said Inspector Md Shahjahan of Banshkhali Police Station.Two people had been critically wounded in the attack, said the inspector, adding that the injured had been undergoing treatment at upazila health complex.Jamaat-Shibir men also set ablaze three shops belonging to Hindu people at Kaliaish union of Satkania upazila, Additional Superintendent (South) Md Iltutmish of Chittagong Metropolitan Police.GAIBANDHA Rioters of Jamaat-e-Islami and student body Islamic Chhatra Shibir attacked a temple and business establishments belonging to Hindus at Bhelkobazar in Sundarganj upazila of the district yesterday afternoon.Later in the evening, they swooped on and vandalised some houses in Shovaganj union.Meanwhile, Hindu community leaders last night told The Daily Star that vandalism, arson and looting took place in temples, houses and business establishments of Hindu people in Sylhet, Rangpur, Thakurgaon, Laxmipur and Chapainawabganj.According to them, attackers had vandalised the central Kali temple at Mithapukur upazila in Rangpur and another at Kansat in Chapainawabganj."We are observing the situation. So far we have heard they had attacked and vandalised temples, houses and business establishments belonged to Hindu people at least in 10 districts," said Nirmal Chatterjee, secretary general of Dhaka Mahanagar Puja Committee."We have informed law enforcers of the situation and sought security to the Hindu community," he added.[The entire original message is not included.]
