[mukto-mona] Silence speaks volumes: Western media about Shahbagh

<< Second, and perhaps most important, Shahbagh is in many ways a post-Tahrir Square phenomena in that it is about not installing an Islamic Brotherhood or some equivalent, but precisely about removing religious ideology from politics altogether. One would expect that, rather than being neglected by the news media, this story would be promoted as an example of a popular uprising against repressive ideas. Shahbagh is about secularism rising up against the forces of orthodoxy and fundamentalism. Yet many of the same analysts who eagerly supported Tahrir Square seem complicit in shoving Shahbagh under the rug. >>>
