..........Despite of not being either a politician or regular contributor to this group.......... I think I should opt-out as because this group is seemingly promoting political advertisement.
I think the admin should make the group's notion loud and clear to everyone........ if its truly such a forum to exhibit heinous political sycophancy through write-ups..... Suddenly I noticed 'Dhire Bondhu Dhire'..... Engr. Shafiq Bhuiyan........ Shaming!!.....

"Engr. Shafiq Bhuiyan"
Now a days, I have started writing in Bengali (jn vindra font), though
quality may be poor for publishing in your newspaper.
Pdf file is also attached!
ধীরে বন্ধু, ধীরে -- এ তুফান ভারী, দিতে হবে পাড়ি, নিতে হবে তরী পার!
আমদের অনেকে সুশীল, টক শো জীবী, নিরেপক্ষরা বলেছিল - সাভারের ধ্বসে পড়া ভবনের
মালিক সোহেল রানাকে আওয়ামী লীগ এর নেতারা লুকিয়ে রেখেছেন, গ্রেফতার হবে না
আবার কেউ কেউ বলেছিল সোহেল রানাকে সরকার ও আওয়ামী লীগ এর স্থানীয় এমপি নিরাপদ
আশ্রয়ে রেখেছেন।
চরম দুর্নীতিবাজ বিএনপির খন্দকার মোশাররফ আরো একধাপ এগিয়ে বলেছিলেন,
প্রধানমন্ত্রী রানাকে পালাতে সাহায্য করেছে, সুযোগ করে দিয়েছে !
আরেক চরম দুর্নীতিবাজ সাবেক আমলা বিএনপির এমকে আনোয়ার বলেন, সোহেল রানা কখনোই
গ্রেফতার হবে না!
নব্য রাজাকার কাদের সিদ্দিকীও প্রধানমন্ত্রীকে উদ্দেশ্য করে বলেছিলেন - রানাকে
বিদেশে পাঠিয়ে দিয়ে তিনি গ্রেফতারের নির্দেশ দিয়েছেন!!!
কিন্তু, রানা প্লাজার মালিক সোহেল রানাকে- গতকাল বাংলাদেশেই আটক ও গ্রেফতার করা
হল।
জনাব খন্দকার মোশাররফ, জনাব এমকে আনোয়ার, জনাব কাদের সিদ্দিকী, সুশীল, টক শো
জীবী, নিরেপক্ষরা - এখন কি বলবেন?
ইতিহাস বলে আওয়ামী লীগ কখনো তার দলের অপরাধীদেরও ছাড় দেয় নাই !
অতীতেও কেন্দ্রীয় ছাত্রলীগের জনপ্রিয়তম সাধারণ সম্পাদক শফিউল আলম প্রধানকেও
ছাত্র হত্যায় জড়িত থাকায় -তাকে গ্রেফতার করে বিচার করেছে, ছাত্রলীগ থেকে
বহিস্কার করেছে! আওয়ামী লীগ সরকার এর আমলে বিচারে তার যাবজ্জীবন জেল হয়ছিল, পরে
জিয়া তাকে মাফ করে দিয়ে - রাজনীতিতে পুনর্বাসন করেছে। এখন সে ১৮ দলের এক দল!
২০০১-২০০৬ এ জামাত-BNP এর চরম বিরোধিতা করে মহাজোটে যোগ দেওয়ার - তার আকুল
আবেদন-নিবেদন-অনুরোধ - আওয়ামী লীগ ঘৃনা ভরে প্রত্যাখান করেছে !
গত বছরেও বিশ্বজিত হত্যাকান্ডে আওয়ামী লীগ সরকার কিন্তু কথিত সরকার সমর্থক
কাউকে ছাড় দেয় নাই। ২১ কথিত ছাত্রলীগ নেতাকে অভিযুক্ত করে চার্জশীট প্রদান
করেছে।
বর্তমানে ও অতীতে সব সরকারের আমলে ক্ষমতার সুবিধাভোগী সোহেল রানা, যুবলীগের
স্বঘোষিত ও কথিত নেতা সোহেল রানা - গ্রেফতারের মধ্য দিয়ে আবার প্রমাণ হয়েছে যে-
আওয়ামী লীগ কখনো অপরাধীদের ছাড় দেয় না - তার দলের বা তার দলের স্বঘোষিত
লোক হলেও !
আওয়ামী লীগ মুখে যা বলে তা করে দেখায়!
পক্ষান্তরে--
জিয়া-BNP খুনী-ধর্ষক-গনহত্যাকারী ও এদের সহযোগী রাজাকার -আলবদর-আল শামস দেরকে
শাস্তি -বিচার তো করেই নাই - বরন্চ তাদের জেল থেকে মুক্তি দিয়ে, তাদের বিচার
বন্ধ করে - তাদেরকে রাষ্ট্রীয়-সামাজিক-রাজনৈতিক-অর্থনৈতিক ভাবে প্রতিষ্ঠিত
করে গেছেন
বঙ্গবন্ধুর আত্মস্বীকৃত খুনীদের গ্রেফতার না করে, বিচারএর পথ বন্ধ করে, বিদেশে
বিভিন্ন দূতাবাসে উচু সরকারী চাকুরীতে নিযোগ দিয়েছেন
ঢাকার কালিগঞ্জ জাসদের নেতা (মানুষ খুন করে মাথা দিয়ে ফুটবল খেলা) খুনী ,
অন্যের স্ত্রীকে জোরকরে অপহরণ করে ভোগ কারী কুখ্যাত ইমদুকে (পরে ১৯৮২ তে এরশাদ
ক্ষমতায় এসে ফাসি দিয়েছেন) বিদেশ সফর সঙ্গী করেছেন
সাজাপ্রাপ্ত খুনিদেরকে মাফ করে রাজনীতিতে প্রতিষ্ঠা করেছেন
সেই জিয়ার স্ত্রী, তৎকালীণ প্রধানমন্ত্রী BNP এর খালেদা জিয়া --
২০০২ সালের ৮ জুন ছাত্রদলের বুয়েট ও ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের এসএম হল শাখার
সন্ত্রাসীদের মধ্যে গুলিবিনিময়কালে বুয়েটের কেমিকৌশল বিভাগের মেধাবী ছাত্রী
সাবেকুন নাহার সানী হত্যাকারী ছাত্রদলের ক্যাডারকে আশ্রয়-প্রশ্রয় দিয়ে
ন্যক্কারজনক এক দুষিত রাজনীতির অধ্যায়ের সৃষ্টি করেছিলেন
তৎকালীণ প্রধানমন্ত্রী BNP এর খালেদা পুলিশ হত্যাকারী ছাত্রদলের সন্ত্রাসী
ছগীরকে সমবেদনা দিয়েছেন
খালেদা বঙ্গবন্ধুর আত্মস্বীকৃত খুনী দের MP বানাতে সাহায্য করেছেন
২০০৪ এর একুশে আগস্টের গ্রেনেড হামলার অন্যতম ও মূল মাঠ কর্মী, লিয়াজোকারী -
তৎকালীণ জামাত-BNP সরকারের প্রতিমন্ত্রী দুলুর ভাই মাওলানা তাজুদ্দিনকে - সেই
সময়কার জামাত-বিএনপি সরকার - নিজ আয়োজনে ও বেবস্থাপনায় খুনীদের স্বর্গ রাজ্য
পাকিস্তানে পাঠিয়ে দেয়।
দুঃখজনক হলেও এদেশে, এমন বহু নজির আছে, যেখানে ক্ষমতাসীন দলের হলেই - যত
ন্যক্কারজনক অপরাধই হোক - পার পেয়ে যেতো অপরাধীরা।
কিন্তু এবার সোহেল রানাকে গ্রেফতার, আর গত বছরে বিশ্বজিত হত্যাকারী কথিত
ছাত্রলীগ নেতাদের গ্রেফতারের মাধ্যমে - প্রধানমন্ত্রী বঙ্গবন্ধু কন্যা শেখ
হাসিনা আবার সূচনা করলেন শুদ্ধ রাজনীতির!
বহুদিন ধরে চলে আসা - দুষিত রাজনীতির বিরুদ্ধে শুদ্ধ রাজনীতির পুনঃচালুর - নতুন
ইতিহাস, নতুন ধারা!
অক্ষুন্ন রাখলেন বঙ্গবন্ধুর রাজনীতির ধারাবাহিকতা ।
তাই অধৈর্য্য হয়ে বা শত্রুদের প্রচারনায় - আমরা যদি আমাদের প্রিয় দল, আওয়ামী
লীগকে - - অযৌক্তিক ও অপ্রমাণিত দোষ এর জন্য প্রকাস্যে সমালোচনা করি , তা
যেমন আমাদেরকে - আমাদের প্রিয় দল, আওয়ামী লীগ এর প্রকৃত কর্মী, বন্ধু ও
শুভাকাঙ্খীর পরিচয় বহন করে না - তেমনি আমাদের প্রিয় দলের নেতাদের জন্যও তা
সুখকর নয়।
একজন সাহসী শেখ হাসিনা আছেন বলেই দীর্ঘ ৩৮ বছর পরও দেশে ১৯৭১ এর যুদ্ধাপরাধী
রাজাকার, আল বদরের বিচার হচ্ছে!
এটাই হচ্ছে হেফাজতে - BNP - জামাতের এবং তথাখথিত কিছু নিরেপেক্ষ ও সুযোগ-সুবিধা
প্রত্তাসী, সুশীল (ও বিভ্রান্ত চৈনিক ও অন্যান্য বাম, সুযোগ-সুবিধা বঞ্চিত টক
শো জীবী) দের আসল ভয় এবং সমস্যা,
তারপরেও, আমদের so called সুশীল ও নিরেপক্ষ সাংবাদিকরা, GJM & other Face Book
friends রা --
যারা মনে করেন এবং দেশের উন্নতি ও যুদ্ধ অপরাধীদের বিচার প্রশ্নে যারা বলেন:
• "আওয়ামী লীগ আর বিএনপি একই মুদ্রার এপিঠ ওপিঠ"
• "শেখ হাসিনার অন্তিরিকতা, সততা ও যুদ্ধ অপরাধীদের বিচার কার্যক্রম
সম্বন্ধে বিন্দুমাত্র সন্দেহ করেন"
• "যাবজ্জীবন কারাদন্ড দিয়ে শেখ হাসিনা ও তার সরকার জামাত-রাজাকার এর
সাথে আপোষ করতে যাচ্ছে"
• "প্রধান দুই দলের দলনেত্রী হচ্ছেন জামায়াত-রাজাকারের প্রধান মদদকারী"
• "Awami লীগ সরকারের আমলে দেশের উন্নতি তেমন হই নাই, BNP-জামাত আমলেও
তেমন হয়েছিল"
• "Awami লীগ সরকারের আমলেও দুর্নীতি হয়েছে, BNP-জামাত আমলেও তেমন
দুর্নীতি হয়েছিল"
• "যারা Awami লীগ সরকারের আমলে দেশের উন্নতির "তাল" কে দেখে না,
কিন্তু খারাপের "তিল" কে ভালোভাবেই দেখে!"
তাদের বিশ্বাসে, নৈতিকতাতে, চরিত্রে, কাজকর্মে, এবং বেড়ে উঠাতেও ভেজাল আছে!
তাই বঙ্গবন্ধুর কন্যা ও তার গণমানুষের কল্যাণ মুখী সফল সরকার - এর বিরুদ্ধে
তাদের (so called সুশীল ও নিরেপক্ষ সাংবাদিকরা, GJM & other Face Book friends
রা) অহেতুক সন্দেহ, প্রচন্ড ক্ষোভ ও আক্রোশ!
ধীরে বন্ধু, ধীরে।
এ তুফান ভারী, দিতে হবে পাড়ি, নিতে হবে তরী পার!
মুক্তিযুদ্ধের চেতনায় দেশ গড়তে আরো অনেক বন্ধুর পথ পাড়ি দিতে হবে
পর্বতের উঁচু-নিচু পথ ও সমুদ্রের উত্তাল ঢেউকে উপেক্ষা করে
আরো দীর্ঘ বিপজ্জনক পথ পাড়ি দিতে হবে।
আস্থা রাখুন আমাদের নৌকার পরীক্ষীত মাঝি শেখ হাসিনার উপর
আস্থা রাখুন তার উপর, - যার রক্তে বেইমানি নেই।
বাঙ্গালীরা নিঃশ্চিন্তে আস্থা রাখুন বিশ্বস্ত শেখ হাসিনার উপর –
যিনি আমাদের জীবন এর নিরাপত্তা নিশ্চিত করতে -
নিজের জীবন কে অনিরাপদ করেছেন।
আওয়ামী লীগ - বাঙালীর দল, জন-মানুষের দল, আপনাদের দল, আমাদের দল।
বাঙালীর পাশে, আওয়ামী লীগ - অতীতে যেমন ছিল, বর্তমানে যেমন আছে এবং ভবিস্যতেও
তেমন থাকবে ইনসাল্লাহ
তাই সাধু সাবধান
এবারও জয় আমাদের হবেই ইনসাল্লাহ
কারন আমরা সত্য ও ন্নায়ের সাথে ও পথে আছি

আমদের অনেকে সুশীল, টক শো জীবী, নিরেপক্ষরা বলেছিল - সাভারের ধ্বসে পড়া ভবনের
মালিক সোহেল রানাকে আওয়ামী লীগ এর নেতারা লুকিয়ে রেখেছেন, গ্রেফতার হবে না
আবার কেউ কেউ বলেছিল সোহেল রানাকে সরকার ও আওয়ামী লীগ এর স্থানীয় এমপি নিরাপদ
আশ্রয়ে রেখেছেন।
চরম দুর্নীতিবাজ বিএনপির খন্দকার মোশাররফ আরো একধাপ এগিয়ে বলেছিলেন,
প্রধানমন্ত্রী রানাকে পালাতে সাহায্য করেছে, সুযোগ করে দিয়েছে !
আরেক চরম দুর্নীতিবাজ সাবেক আমলা বিএনপির এমকে আনোয়ার বলেন, সোহেল রানা কখনোই
গ্রেফতার হবে না!
নব্য রাজাকার কাদের সিদ্দিকীও প্রধানমন্ত্রীকে উদ্দেশ্য করে বলেছিলেন - রানাকে
বিদেশে পাঠিয়ে দিয়ে তিনি গ্রেফতারের নির্দেশ দিয়েছেন!!!
কিন্তু, রানা প্লাজার মালিক সোহেল রানাকে- গতকাল বাংলাদেশেই আটক ও গ্রেফতার করা
হল।
জনাব খন্দকার মোশাররফ, জনাব এমকে আনোয়ার, জনাব কাদের সিদ্দিকী, সুশীল, টক শো
জীবী, নিরেপক্ষরা - এখন কি বলবেন?
ইতিহাস বলে আওয়ামী লীগ কখনো তার দলের অপরাধীদেরও ছাড় দেয় নাই !
অতীতেও কেন্দ্রীয় ছাত্রলীগের জনপ্রিয়তম সাধারণ সম্পাদক শফিউল আলম প্রধানকেও
ছাত্র হত্যায় জড়িত থাকায় -তাকে গ্রেফতার করে বিচার করেছে, ছাত্রলীগ থেকে
বহিস্কার করেছে! আওয়ামী লীগ সরকার এর আমলে বিচারে তার যাবজ্জীবন জেল হয়ছিল, পরে
জিয়া তাকে মাফ করে দিয়ে - রাজনীতিতে পুনর্বাসন করেছে। এখন সে ১৮ দলের এক দল!
২০০১-২০০৬ এ জামাত-BNP এর চরম বিরোধিতা করে মহাজোটে যোগ দেওয়ার - তার আকুল
আবেদন-নিবেদন-অনুরোধ - আওয়ামী লীগ ঘৃনা ভরে প্রত্যাখান করেছে !
গত বছরেও বিশ্বজিত হত্যাকান্ডে আওয়ামী লীগ সরকার কিন্তু কথিত সরকার সমর্থক
কাউকে ছাড় দেয় নাই। ২১ কথিত ছাত্রলীগ নেতাকে অভিযুক্ত করে চার্জশীট প্রদান
করেছে।
বর্তমানে ও অতীতে সব সরকারের আমলে ক্ষমতার সুবিধাভোগী সোহেল রানা, যুবলীগের
স্বঘোষিত ও কথিত নেতা সোহেল রানা - গ্রেফতারের মধ্য দিয়ে আবার প্রমাণ হয়েছে যে-
আওয়ামী লীগ কখনো অপরাধীদের ছাড় দেয় না - তার দলের বা তার দলের স্বঘোষিত
লোক হলেও !
আওয়ামী লীগ মুখে যা বলে তা করে দেখায়!
পক্ষান্তরে--
জিয়া-BNP খুনী-ধর্ষক-গনহত্যাকারী ও এদের সহযোগী রাজাকার -আলবদর-আল শামস দেরকে
শাস্তি -বিচার তো করেই নাই - বরন্চ তাদের জেল থেকে মুক্তি দিয়ে, তাদের বিচার
বন্ধ করে - তাদেরকে রাষ্ট্রীয়-সামাজিক-রাজনৈতিক-অর্থনৈতিক ভাবে প্রতিষ্ঠিত
করে গেছেন
বঙ্গবন্ধুর আত্মস্বীকৃত খুনীদের গ্রেফতার না করে, বিচারএর পথ বন্ধ করে, বিদেশে
বিভিন্ন দূতাবাসে উচু সরকারী চাকুরীতে নিযোগ দিয়েছেন
ঢাকার কালিগঞ্জ জাসদের নেতা (মানুষ খুন করে মাথা দিয়ে ফুটবল খেলা) খুনী ,
অন্যের স্ত্রীকে জোরকরে অপহরণ করে ভোগ কারী কুখ্যাত ইমদুকে (পরে ১৯৮২ তে এরশাদ
ক্ষমতায় এসে ফাসি দিয়েছেন) বিদেশ সফর সঙ্গী করেছেন
সাজাপ্রাপ্ত খুনিদেরকে মাফ করে রাজনীতিতে প্রতিষ্ঠা করেছেন
সেই জিয়ার স্ত্রী, তৎকালীণ প্রধানমন্ত্রী BNP এর খালেদা জিয়া --
২০০২ সালের ৮ জুন ছাত্রদলের বুয়েট ও ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের এসএম হল শাখার
সন্ত্রাসীদের মধ্যে গুলিবিনিময়কালে বুয়েটের কেমিকৌশল বিভাগের মেধাবী ছাত্রী
সাবেকুন নাহার সানী হত্যাকারী ছাত্রদলের ক্যাডারকে আশ্রয়-প্রশ্রয় দিয়ে
ন্যক্কারজনক এক দুষিত রাজনীতির অধ্যায়ের সৃষ্টি করেছিলেন
তৎকালীণ প্রধানমন্ত্রী BNP এর খালেদা পুলিশ হত্যাকারী ছাত্রদলের সন্ত্রাসী
ছগীরকে সমবেদনা দিয়েছেন
খালেদা বঙ্গবন্ধুর আত্মস্বীকৃত খুনী দের MP বানাতে সাহায্য করেছেন
২০০৪ এর একুশে আগস্টের গ্রেনেড হামলার অন্যতম ও মূল মাঠ কর্মী, লিয়াজোকারী -
তৎকালীণ জামাত-BNP সরকারের প্রতিমন্ত্রী দুলুর ভাই মাওলানা তাজুদ্দিনকে - সেই
সময়কার জামাত-বিএনপি সরকার - নিজ আয়োজনে ও বেবস্থাপনায় খুনীদের স্বর্গ রাজ্য
পাকিস্তানে পাঠিয়ে দেয়।
দুঃখজনক হলেও এদেশে, এমন বহু নজির আছে, যেখানে ক্ষমতাসীন দলের হলেই - যত
ন্যক্কারজনক অপরাধই হোক - পার পেয়ে যেতো অপরাধীরা।
কিন্তু এবার সোহেল রানাকে গ্রেফতার, আর গত বছরে বিশ্বজিত হত্যাকারী কথিত
ছাত্রলীগ নেতাদের গ্রেফতারের মাধ্যমে - প্রধানমন্ত্রী বঙ্গবন্ধু কন্যা শেখ
হাসিনা আবার সূচনা করলেন শুদ্ধ রাজনীতির!
বহুদিন ধরে চলে আসা - দুষিত রাজনীতির বিরুদ্ধে শুদ্ধ রাজনীতির পুনঃচালুর - নতুন
ইতিহাস, নতুন ধারা!
অক্ষুন্ন রাখলেন বঙ্গবন্ধুর রাজনীতির ধারাবাহিকতা ।
তাই অধৈর্য্য হয়ে বা শত্রুদের প্রচারনায় - আমরা যদি আমাদের প্রিয় দল, আওয়ামী
লীগকে - - অযৌক্তিক ও অপ্রমাণিত দোষ এর জন্য প্রকাস্যে সমালোচনা করি , তা
যেমন আমাদেরকে - আমাদের প্রিয় দল, আওয়ামী লীগ এর প্রকৃত কর্মী, বন্ধু ও
শুভাকাঙ্খীর পরিচয় বহন করে না - তেমনি আমাদের প্রিয় দলের নেতাদের জন্যও তা
সুখকর নয়।
একজন সাহসী শেখ হাসিনা আছেন বলেই দীর্ঘ ৩৮ বছর পরও দেশে ১৯৭১ এর যুদ্ধাপরাধী
রাজাকার, আল বদরের বিচার হচ্ছে!
এটাই হচ্ছে হেফাজতে - BNP - জামাতের এবং তথাখথিত কিছু নিরেপেক্ষ ও সুযোগ-সুবিধা
প্রত্তাসী, সুশীল (ও বিভ্রান্ত চৈনিক ও অন্যান্য বাম, সুযোগ-সুবিধা বঞ্চিত টক

যারা মনে করেন এবং দেশের উন্নতি ও যুদ্ধ অপরাধীদের বিচার প্রশ্নে যারা বলেন:

মুক্তিযুদ্ধের চেতনায় দেশ গড়তে আরো অনেক বন্ধুর পথ পাড়ি দিতে হবে
পর্বতের উঁচু-নিচু পথ ও সমুদ্রের উত্তাল ঢেউকে উপেক্ষা করে
আরো দীর্ঘ বিপজ্জনক পথ পাড়ি দিতে হবে।
আস্থা রাখুন আমাদের নৌকার পরীক্ষীত মাঝি শেখ হাসিনার উপর
আস্থা রাখুন তার উপর, - যার রক্তে বেইমানি নেই।
বাঙ্গালীরা নিঃশ্চিন্তে আস্থা রাখুন বিশ্বস্ত শেখ হাসিনার উপর –
যিনি আমাদের জীবন এর নিরাপত্তা নিশ্চিত করতে -
নিজের জীবন কে অনিরাপদ করেছেন।
আওয়ামী লীগ - বাঙালীর দল, জন-মানুষের দল, আপনাদের দল, আমাদের দল।
বাঙালীর পাশে, আওয়ামী লীগ - অতীতে যেমন ছিল, বর্তমানে যেমন আছে এবং ভবিস্যতেও
তেমন থাকবে ইনসাল্লাহ
তাই সাধু সাবধান
এবারও জয় আমাদের হবেই ইনসাল্লাহ

I hope Mr. Srinivasan will have some scientific outlook. A trust in history of science and an understanding of the difference between science and parascience are also essential. By trying to glorify the Hindu past, one should not make it laughable. I am Ok with Mr. Rahman buying this "cr---" as I know he is OK with genesis and other biblical myths. It is sad that Dr. Jiten Roy with a Ph.D in Physics and living in the USA feels encouraged by such postings.

Very impressive piece of News by forwarded by Sudhir-Architect. I want to thank him for that.
My belief finally is coming to fruition. I have been hypothesizing that Hindu Gods and Goddesses are nothing but odd-looking alien creatures from other planets. They were much too sophisticated. They used to visit that part of the world (India) using some sort of star-war (beaming off-and-on) traveling technologies; they used to communicate with human on earth through telepathic means. We have instances in the scriptures showing the existence of such communications with human on earth. People, at that period, used to call them Gods and Goddesses, for lack of better words, from heaven (outer space). I think, later on, Bahmins introduced worshipping of those Gods and Goddesses for business sake.
You might ask – why they are not visiting the earth anymore. The answer is – human-race has become much too sophisticated and dangerous since then. Earth is not safe for them anymore to pay a visit. As you know - human, at that time, did not even know how to fly or travel from one place to another.
The question – what Indian Air Force is doing, and why are they not the leader in the art of flying and communication? I think they have been ignoring the wealth of information in their backyard forever, but foreigners, like US Air Force and NASA, did not; they have been studying these scriptures for ideas and clues. They have been learning Sanskrit Language to interpret Indian scriptural writings, and Indian Air Force are learning English to find out what US Air Force and NASA are doing. What a fallacy! Isn't it?

High moral values and social justice are highly wanted although the phrase moral value can have different meanings to different people. As I have said many a time before, any teachings on good moral or ethical values from any religious or non-religious including atheistic discourses should be welcome. No religion should be a part of a modern constitution. It is particularly true in a multireligious society. Let us go back to 1972 constitution.

Mr. Jubair (!)
You are right Bangladesh has 90%+ Muslims ...... that is the reason the
pseudo-Islamist religion-traders are using our religion as their masks
.....and creating religious elitism (neo-Brahminism) under Islamic cover.
Islam is the religion of the masses there is no hierarchy& no one should
have monopoly on our religion.
Narrow parochial use of religion is totally forbidden in Islam.
Live and let live - (Qur'an 109:06) is a basic tenet of Islam. This verse promotes tolerance toward other religions and other
groups. All human beings are creations of Allah the Almighty ...and belong
to the family of mankind ...
Let us subscribe to the True Spirit of Islam and establish high moral values
& social justice, and not use our great religion Islam for showing off and
narrow personal gains & short-tern profits.
You are right "Muslim population is crossing to 92%+ , compare with 67% during 1948." and that is mainly due to cleansing & uprooting the minoroties and not by peaceful conversion into Islam !
In Bangladesh, inspite of growth in the percentage Muslim population,
the corruption & crime has increased thousand-fold, compared to that in
1948.
The rich has become richer in today's Bangladesh.. .. One basic element
in the value system of Islam is the principle of equality .... The difference
[both social & economic] between rich and poor in Bangladesh has
increased many times ....
In 1948 the "illegal drug" use as a social problem was practically unheard
of. And now, the it has become a wide spread social problem. According
to the Department of Narcotics Control (DNC), about 100,000 people,
including 30,000 women and children are involved in the illegal drug
trade in Bangladesh according to a recent report. Nearly 46 lakh people
in the country use illegal drugs and Bangladesh is most vulnerable for
illegal drug use ! [Ref:
http://www.thebangl adeshchronicle. com/2012/ 03/4-6-million- people-in- bangladesh- use-of-illegal- drugs/
bangladesh-use- of-illegal- drugs/ ].
Drinking wine (alcoholic beverage) is totally forbidden in Islam.... however,
in Bangladesh, being a country of 92% Muslims, the wine drinking has
become a norm ... Even, the leader of the oppsition (great Madam) had
a wine cellor in her home !!! During last CTG great pro-Islamic BNP leader was charged with possession of alcohol - bottles of wine and cans of beer had been found .......... [ Just tell us how many licensed liqur stores were
there in 1972 and how many are there now !]
Are these " remarkable signs of Islamic value in our country" , Mr. Jubair ?
There are many, many un-Islamic corrupt practices to deceive the
innocent and unsuspecting common Muslim faithfuls that are promoted
by the religion-traders in the name of Islam.
The hereditary Pir system that we see in today's Bangladesh,
in essence, is deeply in conflict with the teachings of Quaran and
Sunnah... I have not seen any Islam-passand organization to speak
against these corrupt practices that are so open in Bangladesh.
[PS: A detail discussion of social evils and immoral & un-Islamic
activities under the guise of Islam is beyond the scope of current post]
The charity begins at home: To fight for the eradiction of social evils that
goes on in the country under Islamic cover, should be the first and
foremost duty of a true Muslim leader, not engaging in religion-trading
using Islam and Islamic rethoric. Do you agree Mr. Jubair ?

>হেফাজত হঠাৎ করে ১৩ দফা দাবি তুলেছে। এ দাবিগুলোর কিছু বিভিন্ন সময় জামায়াতী নেতারা তুলেছেন। দেশে এখন এই ১৩ দফা নিয়ে তুমুল আলোচনা চলছে।
>দাবিগুলো হচ্ছেÑ
>১. সংবিধানে 'আল্লাহর ওপর পূর্ণ আস্থা ও বিশ্বাস' পুনঃস্থাপন এবং কোরআন-সুন্নাহবিরোধী সব আইন বাতিল।
>২. আল্লাহ, রাসূল (সা.) ও ইসলাম ধর্মের অবমাননা এবং মুসলমানদের বিরুদ্ধে কুৎসা রোধে সর্বোচ্চ শাস্তি মৃত্যুদ-ের বিধান রেখে জাতীয় সংসদে আইন পাস।
>৩. শাহবাগ আন্দোলনে নেতৃত্বদানকারী স্বঘোষিত নাস্তিক-মুরতাদ এবং প্রিয় নবী (সা.)-এর নামে কুৎসা রটনাকারী ব্লগার ও ইসলামবিদ্বেষীদের সব অপপ্রচার বন্ধসহ কঠোর শাস্তিদানের ব্যবস্থা করা।
>৪. ব্যক্তি ও বাকস্বাধীনতার নামে সব বেহায়াপনা, অনাচার, ব্যভিচার, প্রকাশ্যে নারী-পুরুষের অবাধ বিচরণ, মোমবাতি প্রজ্বলনসহ সব বিজাতীয় সংস্কৃতির অনুপ্রবেশ বন্ধ করা।
>৫. ইসলামবিরোধী নারীনীতি, ধর্মহীন শিক্ষানীতি বাতিল করে শিক্ষার প্রাথমিক স্তর থেকে উচ্চমাধ্যমিক স্তর পর্যন্ত ইসলাম ধর্মীয় শিক্ষাকে বাধ্যতামূলক করা।
>৬. সরকারিভাবে কাদিয়ানিদের অমুসলিম ঘোষণা এবং তাদের প্রচারণা ও ষড়যন্ত্রমূলক সব অপতৎপরতা বন্ধ করা।
>৭. মসজিদের নগর ঢাকাকে মূর্তির নগরে রূপান্তর এবং দেশব্যাপী রাস্তার মোড়ে ও কলেজ-ভার্সিটিতে ভাস্কর্যের নামে মূর্তি স্থাপন বন্ধ করা।
>৮. জাতীয় মসজিদ বায়তুল মোকাররমসহ দেশের সব মসজিদে মুসল্লিদের নির্বিঘেœ নামাজ আদায়ে বাধাবিপত্তি ও প্রতিবন্ধকতা অপসারণ এবং ওয়াজ-নসিহত ও ধর্মীয় কার্যকলাপে বাধাদান বন্ধ করা।
>৯. রেডিও. টেলিভিশনসহ বিভিন্ন গণমাধ্যমে দাড়ি-টুপি ও ইসলামী কৃষ্টি-কালচার নিয়ে হাসিঠাট্টা এবং নাটক সিনেমার নেতিবাচক চরিত্রে ধর্মীয় লেবাস-পোশাক পরিচয়ে অভিনয়ের মাধ্যমে তরুণ প্রজন্মের মনে ইসলামের প্রতি বিদ্বেষমূলক মনোভাব সৃষ্টির অপপ্রয়াস বন্ধ করা।
>১০. পার্বত্য চট্টগ্রামসহ দেশব্যাপী ইসলামবিরোধী কর্মকা-ে জড়িত এনজিও এবং খ্রিস্টান মিশনারিগুলোর ধর্মান্তরকরণসহ সব অপতৎপরতা বন্ধ করা।
>১১. রাসুলপ্রেমিক প্রতিবাদী আলেম-ওলামা, মাদ্রাসার ছাত্র ও তৌহিদি জনতার ওপর হামলা, দমন-পীড়ন, নির্বিচার গুলিবর্ষণ এবং গণহত্যা বন্ধ করা।
>১২. সারাদেশের কওমী মাদ্রাসার ছাত্র শিক্ষক, ওলামা-মাশায়েখ ও মসজিদের ইমাম-খতিবকে হুমকি-ধমকি, ভয়ভীতি দানসহ তাঁদের বিরুদ্ধে সব ষড়যন্ত্র বন্ধ করা।
>১৩. অবিলম্বে গ্রেফতারকৃত সব আলেম-ওলামা, মাদ্রাসাছাত্র ও তৌহিদি জনতাকে মুক্তিদান, দায়ের করা সব মিথ্যা মামলা প্রত্যাহার এবং আহত ও নিহত ব্যক্তিদের ক্ষতিপূরণসহ দুষ্কৃতকারীদের বিচারের আওতায় এনে কঠোর শাস্তি দিতে হবে। [কালের কণ্ঠ.৭-৪-১৩]
>দাবিগুলো বিশ্লেষণ করলে দেখা যাবে এগুলোতে সারবস্তু তেমন নেই। যারা এ দাবি তৈরি করেছেন তারা যে এদেশে ও তার মানুষজন সম্বন্ধে খুব কম জানেন এটি তারই উদাহরণ। এখানে লক্ষণীয়, তাদের ভাষায় শাহবাগের যে 'নাস্তিক'দের বিরুদ্ধে আন্দোলন সেটি নেমে এসেছে তিন নম্বরে। ১ নং দাবির বিরুদ্ধে সংবিধানে কিছু নেই। ২ নং দাবি সম্পর্কে বলা যায় ধর্ম অবমাননাকারীর জন্য শাস্তির বিধান রেখে আইন
আছে। ৩ নং দাবি মানা হয়েছে। অর্থাৎ সরকার যাদের মনে করে 'কুৎসা রটনাকারী তাদের ধরা হয়েছে। ৫ নং দাবির আংশিক ইতোমধ্যে মানা হয়েছে। আপনারা জানেন কিনাÑ কওমীদের সন্তুষ্ট রাখার জন্য যে কারিকুলাম করা হয়েছে তাতে ধর্ম ও নৈতিক শিক্ষা সব পর্যায়ে বাধ্যতামূলক। অথচ, কারিকুলামের প্রস্তাবনায় আছে মুক্তিযুদ্ধের চেতনা বাস্তবায়িত করতে হবে। এই কারিকুলাম থেকে ইচ্ছা করে মুক্তিযুদ্ধের
ইতিহাস বাদ দেয়া হয়েছে। আমরা সবসময় দাবি করে এসেছিলাম বাংলাদেশের (১৯৪৭-১৯৭০) ইতিহাস যেন সব পর্যায়ে সব শাখায় বাধ্যতামূলক করা হয়। আমি খুব আশ্চর্য হয়েছি, এই কারিকুলাম কমিটিতে আমাদের প্রিয় তিনজন সেক্যুলার ব্যক্তিত্ব আছেনÑ ড. খলীকুজ্জমান, ড. জাফর ইকবাল ও সচিব ড. কামাল চৌধুরী। যেদিন এটি অনুমোদিত হয় সেদিন তারা ছিলেন কিনা জানি না। না থাকলেও পরে তারা এর প্রতিবাদ করেননি। আপনারা
কার বিরুদ্ধে আন্দোলন করবেন? নিজের বিরুদ্ধে আন্দোলন করা ছাড়া তো উপায় দেখছি না। ধর্ম শিক্ষা দেয়া হোক তাতে আপত্তি নেই, কিন্তু জাতীয় ইতিহাস কেন পড়ানো হবে না? সরকারের শিক্ষামন্ত্রীর হয়তো ইচ্ছা দেশে হেফাজতির সংখ্যা আরো বৃদ্ধি পাক।
>৬নং দাবিটি প্রতিবছর জামায়াতীরা একবার করে। ৭নং দাবির ক্ষেত্রেও এ কথা প্রযোজ্য। হেফাজতের একজন নেতা সিলেটের উল্লিখিত সেই জঙ্গী মওলানা হাবিবুর রহমান এ আন্দোলন করেছেন এবং করবেনও। ৮নং দাবির বিরুদ্ধে সরকার কিছু করেনি। বরং জামায়াত মসজিদে আগুন দিচ্ছে, মসজিদকে রাজনৈতিক কাজে ব্যবহার করছে। হেফাজত আগামী শুক্রবার যে কর্মসূচী দিয়েছে তাও জামায়াতের অনুরূপ।
>৯ নং ও ১০ নং দাবি প্রায়ই উত্থাপন করা হয়। ৯ থেকে ১৩ নং দাবির কোন সারবত্তা নেই। সরকার এখন অনায়াসে বলতে পারে হেফাজতের দাবি মেনে নেয়া হচ্ছে, বাকিগুলোও বিবেচনা করা হবে।
>হেফাজতের যে দাবি নিয়ে বিতর্ক চলছে তা হলো নারী সংক্রান্ত ও ব্লাসফেমি আইনের প্রবর্তন। প্রথমে বলে নেয়া ভাল এদের ২, ৪, ৫, ৬, ৭ দাবি মানতে গেলে সংবিধান সংশোধন করতে হবে। বর্তমান সরকারের পক্ষে তা সম্ভব হবে না। বিএনপি-জামায়াত জাতীয়পার্টি যদি দুই-তৃতীয়াংশ সংখ্যা গরিষ্ঠ নিয়ে ক্ষমতায় আসে তা হলে হয়ত সংবিধান সংশোধন করে এ দাবিগুলো মেনে নেয়া হতে পারে।
>হেফাজতের নারীনীতি আফগান তালেবানী সরকারের নীতির অনুরূপ। এ নীতি গ্রহণ করলে গ্রামীণ ব্যাংক, বাংলাদেশের সমস্ত গার্মেন্টস সেক্টর, তৃণমূল পর্যায়ে স্বাস্থ্য সেক্টর, প্রাথমিক শিক্ষা, বিভিন্ন পেশা বন্ধ করে দিতে হবে। বাংলাদেশের অর্থনীতির সমস্ত প্রবৃদ্ধি বন্ধ হয়ে যাবে। এই দাবির প্রতি সমর্থন জানিয়েছে বিএনপি ও জাতীয় পার্টি। লক্ষণীয়, এই দাবি মানলে বাংলাদেশের দরিদ্র
পরিবারগুলো সবচেয়ে ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত হবে। এতে বিএনপির নেতৃত্বের কিছু আসে যায় না। তারা যথেষ্ট সম্পদ পাচার করেছে, ছেলেমেয়েরা তাদের বিদেশে থাকে। এরশাদ তো নারী ছাড়া থাকতে পারেন না; এটি তার প্রাক্তন স্ত্রী বিদিশাই তার স্মৃতিকথায় লিখেছেন। সেই এরশাদও এখন এই দাবি সমর্থন করেন। কারণ, টাকা দিয়েও এখন আর নারী- বেষ্টিত থাকা যাচ্ছে না। টাকার জন্য আজকাল লোলচর্ম বৃদ্ধ কেউ আর পছন্দ করে
না। জামায়াতের নেতৃবৃন্দের ছেলেমেয়েরাও নাছারাদের দেশে থাকে। তারা চাচ্ছে ধর্মীয় উম্মাদনা জাগিয়ে তুলে সরকার পতন ও ক্ষমতা দখল। দেশে নারীদের, গরিবদের কী হলো তাতে কিছু আসে যায় না। দেশের সম্পদ লুট করার সুযোগ পাবে এবং তা পাচার করে চলে যাবে। দেশ তাদের কাছে বড় ব্যাপার নয়, নিজে এবং নিজের পরিবার বড় ব্যাপার। আরেকটি বিষয় উল্লেখ্য, হেফাজতের দাবি বাংলাদেশ রাষ্ট্রের মৌলিক
চরিত্রের বিরোধী।
>হেফাজত ঘোষণা করেছে তাদের ১৩ দফা না মানলে কেউ ক্ষমতায় আসতে পারবে না। থাকতেও পারবে না। ইতোমধ্যে হেফাজতের মধ্যে ক্ষমতার মদমত্ততা চলে এসেছে। এর একটি উদাহরণ দিই। একটি টেলিভিশন চ্যানেলে আলোচনাসভায় হেফাজতের এক নেতা-বাচ্চা এক মৌলানা সদম্ভে শোলাকিয়ার ইমাম প্রবীণ মুহাদ্দেস আল্লামা ফরিদউদ্দিন মাসউদকে বললেন, মৌলানা মসউদ হচ্ছেন তসলিমা নাসরিনের মতো, বিতর্কিত।
>নারী নেতৃত্ব নিয়ে বিতর্কে প্রশ্ন তোলা হয়েছিলÑ খালেদা জিয়ার স্থান কী হবে? হেফাজতের দাবি মানা হলে খালেদা কি প্রধানমন্ত্রী হতে পারবেন? সেই বাচ্চা মৌলভী টেলিভিশনে বেশ দৃঢ়তার সঙ্গে বলেছেন যে, খালেদার ক্ষেত্রে ব্যতিক্রম করা হবে। তবে, বিএনপি জামায়াত ও আওয়ামীবিরোধী মহিলাদের ক্ষেত্রে কোন ছাড় দেয়া হবে না। ফ্যাশন প্যারেড করে ঘোরাফেরা বন্ধ। সিনেমা-ফ্যাশন তো বন্ধ হবেই।
কিন্তু মূল কথা হলো, ক্ষমতায় যেতে হলে যদি ধর্মের ক্ষেত্রে খানিকটা ছাড় দিতে হয়, তা হলে দেয়া যাবে। জামায়াতও তাই মনে করে। তারা এও মনে করে, প্রয়োজনে মিথ্যা বলা জায়েজ।
>ব্যতিক্রম আরো করা হচ্ছে। স্বঘোষিত নাস্তিক কবি ফরহাদ মাজহার যেহেতু জামায়াত-বিএনপি চিন্তা- আধারের [থিংক ট্যাংক] প্রধান সেহেতু জামায়াত-হেফাজত তার বিরুদ্ধে নিশ্চুপ। শুধু তাই নয় ইসলামের স্বঘোষিত ঠিকাদার মাহমুদুর রহমানের দৈনিক আমার দেশ ও যুদ্ধাপরাধী আলবদর মীর কাশেম আলীর নয়া দিগন্তে নিয়ত তার সচিত্র প্রতিবেদন প্রকাশিত হচ্ছে। হেফাজত ও জামায়াতে ইসলামী কি ফন্দিবাজ
ইসলাম মনে হচ্ছে না? কারণ, জামায়াত বিএনপি প্রতিদিন শাহবাগের তরুণদের নাস্তিক বলে উল্লেখ করছে। হেফাজত তাদের সভায় 'শেখ হাসিনার গালে জুতা মার' সেøাগান দিয়ে তাকে নাস্তিক ঘোষণা করছে, কিন্তু স্বঘোষিত নাস্তিক, লম্পট, চোর-ছ্যাচ্চড়দের বিরুদ্ধে তারা আশ্চর্যজনকভাবে নিশ্চুপ। না, এখানেই শেষ নয়। আল্লামা শফি সমকালের সেই সাক্ষাতকারে যা বলেছেন তা আরও বিভ্রান্তিকর, অনেকাংশে পুরো
সত্য নয়। আমি খানিকটা উদ্ধৃত করছিÑ
>আল্লামা শফি : হেফাজতে ইসলাম প্রতিষ্ঠাকাল থেকে ইসলাম ও মুসলমানদের স্বার্থবিরোধী বিভিন্ন পদক্ষেপের জোরালো প্রতিবাদ জানিয়ে আসছে। সংবিধান থেকে আল্লাহ্র ওপর আস্থা ও বিশ্বাসের নীতি তুলে দেয়া, নতুন প্রবর্তিত ধর্মহীন শিক্ষানীতি, হিজাব পালনে নারীদের বাধ্য করা যাবে না বলে হাইকোর্টের রায়, রাষ্ট্রীয়ভাবে ধর্মনিরপেক্ষ নীতি প্রতিষ্ঠা, ফতোয়াবিরোধী হাইকোর্টের রায়,
রাষ্ট্রধর্ম ইসলাম ও বিসমিল্লাহ বাদ দেয়ার চেষ্টা, ঢালাওভাবে আলেম-ওলামা ও কওমী মাদ্রাসার সঙ্গে জঙ্গীবাদের সংশ্লিষ্টতা নিয়ে অপপ্রচার, হাইকোর্টে কোরান সংশোধনের জন্য মামলা এবং ইসলামী রাজনীতি নিষিদ্ধের চেষ্টার বিরুদ্ধে আগেও আন্দোলন করেছি আমরা। এখন আন্দোলন করছি আল্লাহ ও তার রাসূলের (সা) অবমাননাকারীদের দৃষ্টান্তমূলক শাস্তি নিশ্চিত করতে। খেয়াল করলে দেখবেন, হেফাজতের
কোন আন্দোলনেই নেই রাজনীতির বীজ। হেফাজতে ইসলাম তার এই অরাজনৈতিক ভূমিকা ভবিষ্যতেও অব্যাহত রাখবে। [ঐ]

>এবার বিশ্লেষণ করা যাক-
>
>১. 'সংবিধান থেকে আল্লাহর...'-এটি ঠিক নয়, বিসমিল্লাহির রহমানির রাহিম এখনও আছে।
>২. 'নতুন প্রবর্তিত ধর্মহীন শিক্ষানীতি'-এটি ঠিক নয়। নতুন শিক্ষানীতিতে সবচেয়ে বেশি গুরুত্ব দেয়া হয়েছে ধর্মকে।
>৩. 'হিজাব পালনে'... এই রায় সম্পর্কে জানা নেই। যদি রায় আদালতের হয় তা হলে সরকারের কিছু করার নেই।
>৪. 'রাষ্ট্রীয়ভাবে ধর্মনিরপেক্ষ নীতি'... এটি আংশিক সত্য। তবে, রাষ্ট্রধর্ম ইসলাম বহাল থাকায় এই নীতি কার্যকর নয়।
>৫ 'ফতোয়াবিরোধী হাইকোর্টের...' এখানে সরকারের করার কিছু নেই। তাছাড়া মাদ্রাসায় যারা পড়বে তারাই ফতোয়া দিতে পারবেÑ এমন ইসলামী আইন কোথাও নেই।
>৬. 'রাষ্ট্রধর্ম ইসলাম ও বিসমিল্লাহ বাদ দেয়া'Ñ এটি ঠিক নয়।
>৭. 'ঢালাওভাবে কওমী...' এটি অস্বীকার করা যেতে পারে। কিন্তু বাস্তবে কথাটা অসত্য নয়।
>৮. 'হাইকোর্টে কোরান সংশোধন...' এটি সঠিক নয়।
>৯. 'ইসলামী রাজনীতি নিষিদ্ধ...' এটি ঠিক নয়। জামায়াত নিষিদ্ধ মানেই ইসলামী রাজনীতি নিষিদ্ধÑ এটি ভেবে নিলে অন্য কথা।
>১০. 'আন্দোলন করছি আল্লাহ...' এটি বিভ্রান্তিকর উক্তি। এটি ঠিক হলে ব্যভিচারি, স্বঘোষিত কমিউনিস্ট, চোর হিসাবে খ্যাতদের মঞ্চে নিয়ে উল্লাস প্রকাশ করা হতো না এবং ইসলামী চিন্তা ট্যাংকির প্রধান হিসাবে স্বঘোষিত নাস্তিকদের মেনে নেয়া হতো না। আগে ফরহাদ মজহার বা শফিক রেহমানকে নাস্তিক ঘোষণা করে যদি অন্যদের ঢালাওভাবে নাস্তিক বলা হয়, তা হলে তার না হয় একটা যৌক্তিকতা খোঁজার
চেষ্টা করা যেতে পারে।
>১১. 'হেফাজতের কোন আন্দোলনেই নেই রাজনীতির...' এটি ঠিক নয়। আল্লামা শফির সমস্ত বক্তব্যই রাজনৈতিক এবং জামায়াতধর্মী। লক্ষ্য করুন, মওলানা শফির সাক্ষাতকারে উল্লিখিত ১১টি পয়েন্টের মধ্যে ৮টি ঠিক নয়। বাকি তিনটি আংশিক সত্য। জামায়াত এসব 'দাবি' প্রায়ই তোলে। এই হচ্ছে জামায়াত। এই হচ্ছে হেফাজত। এরপরও যদি কেউ বলে বা বিশ্বাস করে জামায়াতের সঙ্গে হেফাজতের কোন সম্পর্ক নেই তাহলে সেই
পুরনো প্রবচনটিই আবার উদ্ধৃত করতে হবে 'হায়রে কপাল মন্দ, চোখ থাকিতে অন্ধ।' (চলবে)http://www.dailyjan akantha.com/ news_view. php?nc=16& dd=2013-04- 12&ni= 131948

Mr. Jubair (!)
You are right Bangladesh has 90%+ Muslims ...... that is the reason the
pseudo-Islamist religion-traders are using our religion as their masks
.....and creating religious elitism (neo-Brahminism) under Islamic cover.
Islam is the religion of the masses there is no hierarchy& no one should
have monopoly on our religion.
Narrow parochial use of religion is totally forbidden in Islam.
Live and let live - (Qur'an 109:06) is a basic tenet of Islam. This verse promotes tolerance toward other religions and other
groups. All human beings are creations of Allah the Almighty ...and belong
to the family of mankind ...
Let us subscribe to the True Spirit of Islam and establish high moral values
& social justice, and not use our great religion Islam for showing off and
narrow personal gains & short-tern profits.
You are right "Muslim population is crossing to 92%+ , compare with 67% during 1948." and that is mainly due to cleansing & uprooting the minoroties and not by peaceful conversion into Islam !
In Bangladesh, inspite of growth in the percentage Muslim population,
the corruption & crime has increased thousand-fold, compared to that in
1948.
The rich has become richer in today's Bangladesh.. .. One basic element
in the value system of Islam is the principle of equality .... The difference
[both social & economic] between rich and poor in Bangladesh has
increased many times ....
In 1948 the "illegal drug" use as a social problem was practically unheard
of. And now, the it has become a wide spread social problem. According
to the Department of Narcotics Control (DNC), about 100,000 people,
including 30,000 women and children are involved in the illegal drug
trade in Bangladesh according to a recent report. Nearly 46 lakh people
in the country use illegal drugs and Bangladesh is most vulnerable for
illegal drug use ! [Ref:
http://www.thebangl adeshchronicle. com/2012/ 03/4-6-million- people-in- bangladesh- use-of-illegal- drugs/
bangladesh-use- of-illegal- drugs/ ].
Drinking wine (alcoholic beverage) is totally forbidden in Islam.... however,
in Bangladesh, being a country of 92% Muslims, the wine drinking has
become a norm ... Even, the leader of the oppsition (great Madam) had
a wine cellor in her home !!! During last CTG great pro-Islamic BNP leader was charged with possession of alcohol - bottles of wine and cans of beer had been found .......... [ Just tell us how many licensed liqur stores were
there in 1972 and how many are there now !]
Are these " remarkable signs of Islamic value in our country" , Mr. Jubair ?
There are many, many un-Islamic corrupt practices to deceive the
innocent and unsuspecting common Muslim faithfuls that are promoted
by the religion-traders in the name of Islam.
The hereditary Pir system that we see in today's Bangladesh,
in essence, is deeply in conflict with the teachings of Quaran and
Sunnah... I have not seen any Islam-passand organization to speak
against these corrupt practices that are so open in Bangladesh.
[PS: A detail discussion of social evils and immoral & un-Islamic
activities under the guise of Islam is beyond the scope of current post]
The charity begins at home: To fight for the eradiction of social evils that
goes on in the country under Islamic cover, should be the first and
foremost duty of a true Muslim leader, not engaging in religion-trading
using Islam and Islamic rethoric. Do you agree Mr. Jubair ?

>হেফাজত হঠাৎ করে ১৩ দফা দাবি তুলেছে। এ দাবিগুলোর কিছু বিভিন্ন সময় জামায়াতী নেতারা তুলেছেন। দেশে এখন এই ১৩ দফা নিয়ে তুমুল আলোচনা চলছে।
>দাবিগুলো হচ্ছেÑ
>১. সংবিধানে 'আল্লাহর ওপর পূর্ণ আস্থা ও বিশ্বাস' পুনঃস্থাপন এবং কোরআন-সুন্নাহবিরোধী সব আইন বাতিল।
>২. আল্লাহ, রাসূল (সা.) ও ইসলাম ধর্মের অবমাননা এবং মুসলমানদের বিরুদ্ধে কুৎসা রোধে সর্বোচ্চ শাস্তি মৃত্যুদ-ের বিধান রেখে জাতীয় সংসদে আইন পাস।
>৩. শাহবাগ আন্দোলনে নেতৃত্বদানকারী স্বঘোষিত নাস্তিক-মুরতাদ এবং প্রিয় নবী (সা.)-এর নামে কুৎসা রটনাকারী ব্লগার ও ইসলামবিদ্বেষীদের সব অপপ্রচার বন্ধসহ কঠোর শাস্তিদানের ব্যবস্থা করা।
>৪. ব্যক্তি ও বাকস্বাধীনতার নামে সব বেহায়াপনা, অনাচার, ব্যভিচার, প্রকাশ্যে নারী-পুরুষের অবাধ বিচরণ, মোমবাতি প্রজ্বলনসহ সব বিজাতীয় সংস্কৃতির অনুপ্রবেশ বন্ধ করা।
>৫. ইসলামবিরোধী নারীনীতি, ধর্মহীন শিক্ষানীতি বাতিল করে শিক্ষার প্রাথমিক স্তর থেকে উচ্চমাধ্যমিক স্তর পর্যন্ত ইসলাম ধর্মীয় শিক্ষাকে বাধ্যতামূলক করা।
>৬. সরকারিভাবে কাদিয়ানিদের অমুসলিম ঘোষণা এবং তাদের প্রচারণা ও ষড়যন্ত্রমূলক সব অপতৎপরতা বন্ধ করা।
>৭. মসজিদের নগর ঢাকাকে মূর্তির নগরে রূপান্তর এবং দেশব্যাপী রাস্তার মোড়ে ও কলেজ-ভার্সিটিতে ভাস্কর্যের নামে মূর্তি স্থাপন বন্ধ করা।
>৮. জাতীয় মসজিদ বায়তুল মোকাররমসহ দেশের সব মসজিদে মুসল্লিদের নির্বিঘেœ নামাজ আদায়ে বাধাবিপত্তি ও প্রতিবন্ধকতা অপসারণ এবং ওয়াজ-নসিহত ও ধর্মীয় কার্যকলাপে বাধাদান বন্ধ করা।
>৯. রেডিও. টেলিভিশনসহ বিভিন্ন গণমাধ্যমে দাড়ি-টুপি ও ইসলামী কৃষ্টি-কালচার নিয়ে হাসিঠাট্টা এবং নাটক সিনেমার নেতিবাচক চরিত্রে ধর্মীয় লেবাস-পোশাক পরিচয়ে অভিনয়ের মাধ্যমে তরুণ প্রজন্মের মনে ইসলামের প্রতি বিদ্বেষমূলক মনোভাব সৃষ্টির অপপ্রয়াস বন্ধ করা।
>১০. পার্বত্য চট্টগ্রামসহ দেশব্যাপী ইসলামবিরোধী কর্মকা-ে জড়িত এনজিও এবং খ্রিস্টান মিশনারিগুলোর ধর্মান্তরকরণসহ সব অপতৎপরতা বন্ধ করা।
>১১. রাসুলপ্রেমিক প্রতিবাদী আলেম-ওলামা, মাদ্রাসার ছাত্র ও তৌহিদি জনতার ওপর হামলা, দমন-পীড়ন, নির্বিচার গুলিবর্ষণ এবং গণহত্যা বন্ধ করা।
>১২. সারাদেশের কওমী মাদ্রাসার ছাত্র শিক্ষক, ওলামা-মাশায়েখ ও মসজিদের ইমাম-খতিবকে হুমকি-ধমকি, ভয়ভীতি দানসহ তাঁদের বিরুদ্ধে সব ষড়যন্ত্র বন্ধ করা।
>১৩. অবিলম্বে গ্রেফতারকৃত সব আলেম-ওলামা, মাদ্রাসাছাত্র ও তৌহিদি জনতাকে মুক্তিদান, দায়ের করা সব মিথ্যা মামলা প্রত্যাহার এবং আহত ও নিহত ব্যক্তিদের ক্ষতিপূরণসহ দুষ্কৃতকারীদের বিচারের আওতায় এনে কঠোর শাস্তি দিতে হবে। [কালের কণ্ঠ.৭-৪-১৩]
>দাবিগুলো বিশ্লেষণ করলে দেখা যাবে এগুলোতে সারবস্তু তেমন নেই। যারা এ দাবি তৈরি করেছেন তারা যে এদেশে ও তার মানুষজন সম্বন্ধে খুব কম জানেন এটি তারই উদাহরণ। এখানে লক্ষণীয়, তাদের ভাষায় শাহবাগের যে 'নাস্তিক'দের বিরুদ্ধে আন্দোলন সেটি নেমে এসেছে তিন নম্বরে। ১ নং দাবির বিরুদ্ধে সংবিধানে কিছু নেই। ২ নং দাবি সম্পর্কে বলা যায় ধর্ম অবমাননাকারীর জন্য শাস্তির বিধান রেখে আইন
আছে। ৩ নং দাবি মানা হয়েছে। অর্থাৎ সরকার যাদের মনে করে 'কুৎসা রটনাকারী তাদের ধরা হয়েছে। ৫ নং দাবির আংশিক ইতোমধ্যে মানা হয়েছে। আপনারা জানেন কিনাÑ কওমীদের সন্তুষ্ট রাখার জন্য যে কারিকুলাম করা হয়েছে তাতে ধর্ম ও নৈতিক শিক্ষা সব পর্যায়ে বাধ্যতামূলক। অথচ, কারিকুলামের প্রস্তাবনায় আছে মুক্তিযুদ্ধের চেতনা বাস্তবায়িত করতে হবে। এই কারিকুলাম থেকে ইচ্ছা করে মুক্তিযুদ্ধের
ইতিহাস বাদ দেয়া হয়েছে। আমরা সবসময় দাবি করে এসেছিলাম বাংলাদেশের (১৯৪৭-১৯৭০) ইতিহাস যেন সব পর্যায়ে সব শাখায় বাধ্যতামূলক করা হয়। আমি খুব আশ্চর্য হয়েছি, এই কারিকুলাম কমিটিতে আমাদের প্রিয় তিনজন সেক্যুলার ব্যক্তিত্ব আছেনÑ ড. খলীকুজ্জমান, ড. জাফর ইকবাল ও সচিব ড. কামাল চৌধুরী। যেদিন এটি অনুমোদিত হয় সেদিন তারা ছিলেন কিনা জানি না। না থাকলেও পরে তারা এর প্রতিবাদ করেননি। আপনারা
কার বিরুদ্ধে আন্দোলন করবেন? নিজের বিরুদ্ধে আন্দোলন করা ছাড়া তো উপায় দেখছি না। ধর্ম শিক্ষা দেয়া হোক তাতে আপত্তি নেই, কিন্তু জাতীয় ইতিহাস কেন পড়ানো হবে না? সরকারের শিক্ষামন্ত্রীর হয়তো ইচ্ছা দেশে হেফাজতির সংখ্যা আরো বৃদ্ধি পাক।
>৬নং দাবিটি প্রতিবছর জামায়াতীরা একবার করে। ৭নং দাবির ক্ষেত্রেও এ কথা প্রযোজ্য। হেফাজতের একজন নেতা সিলেটের উল্লিখিত সেই জঙ্গী মওলানা হাবিবুর রহমান এ আন্দোলন করেছেন এবং করবেনও। ৮নং দাবির বিরুদ্ধে সরকার কিছু করেনি। বরং জামায়াত মসজিদে আগুন দিচ্ছে, মসজিদকে রাজনৈতিক কাজে ব্যবহার করছে। হেফাজত আগামী শুক্রবার যে কর্মসূচী দিয়েছে তাও জামায়াতের অনুরূপ।
>৯ নং ও ১০ নং দাবি প্রায়ই উত্থাপন করা হয়। ৯ থেকে ১৩ নং দাবির কোন সারবত্তা নেই। সরকার এখন অনায়াসে বলতে পারে হেফাজতের দাবি মেনে নেয়া হচ্ছে, বাকিগুলোও বিবেচনা করা হবে।
>হেফাজতের যে দাবি নিয়ে বিতর্ক চলছে তা হলো নারী সংক্রান্ত ও ব্লাসফেমি আইনের প্রবর্তন। প্রথমে বলে নেয়া ভাল এদের ২, ৪, ৫, ৬, ৭ দাবি মানতে গেলে সংবিধান সংশোধন করতে হবে। বর্তমান সরকারের পক্ষে তা সম্ভব হবে না। বিএনপি-জামায়াত জাতীয়পার্টি যদি দুই-তৃতীয়াংশ সংখ্যা গরিষ্ঠ নিয়ে ক্ষমতায় আসে তা হলে হয়ত সংবিধান সংশোধন করে এ দাবিগুলো মেনে নেয়া হতে পারে।
>হেফাজতের নারীনীতি আফগান তালেবানী সরকারের নীতির অনুরূপ। এ নীতি গ্রহণ করলে গ্রামীণ ব্যাংক, বাংলাদেশের সমস্ত গার্মেন্টস সেক্টর, তৃণমূল পর্যায়ে স্বাস্থ্য সেক্টর, প্রাথমিক শিক্ষা, বিভিন্ন পেশা বন্ধ করে দিতে হবে। বাংলাদেশের অর্থনীতির সমস্ত প্রবৃদ্ধি বন্ধ হয়ে যাবে। এই দাবির প্রতি সমর্থন জানিয়েছে বিএনপি ও জাতীয় পার্টি। লক্ষণীয়, এই দাবি মানলে বাংলাদেশের দরিদ্র
পরিবারগুলো সবচেয়ে ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত হবে। এতে বিএনপির নেতৃত্বের কিছু আসে যায় না। তারা যথেষ্ট সম্পদ পাচার করেছে, ছেলেমেয়েরা তাদের বিদেশে থাকে। এরশাদ তো নারী ছাড়া থাকতে পারেন না; এটি তার প্রাক্তন স্ত্রী বিদিশাই তার স্মৃতিকথায় লিখেছেন। সেই এরশাদও এখন এই দাবি সমর্থন করেন। কারণ, টাকা দিয়েও এখন আর নারী- বেষ্টিত থাকা যাচ্ছে না। টাকার জন্য আজকাল লোলচর্ম বৃদ্ধ কেউ আর পছন্দ করে
না। জামায়াতের নেতৃবৃন্দের ছেলেমেয়েরাও নাছারাদের দেশে থাকে। তারা চাচ্ছে ধর্মীয় উম্মাদনা জাগিয়ে তুলে সরকার পতন ও ক্ষমতা দখল। দেশে নারীদের, গরিবদের কী হলো তাতে কিছু আসে যায় না। দেশের সম্পদ লুট করার সুযোগ পাবে এবং তা পাচার করে চলে যাবে। দেশ তাদের কাছে বড় ব্যাপার নয়, নিজে এবং নিজের পরিবার বড় ব্যাপার। আরেকটি বিষয় উল্লেখ্য, হেফাজতের দাবি বাংলাদেশ রাষ্ট্রের মৌলিক
চরিত্রের বিরোধী।
>হেফাজত ঘোষণা করেছে তাদের ১৩ দফা না মানলে কেউ ক্ষমতায় আসতে পারবে না। থাকতেও পারবে না। ইতোমধ্যে হেফাজতের মধ্যে ক্ষমতার মদমত্ততা চলে এসেছে। এর একটি উদাহরণ দিই। একটি টেলিভিশন চ্যানেলে আলোচনাসভায় হেফাজতের এক নেতা-বাচ্চা এক মৌলানা সদম্ভে শোলাকিয়ার ইমাম প্রবীণ মুহাদ্দেস আল্লামা ফরিদউদ্দিন মাসউদকে বললেন, মৌলানা মসউদ হচ্ছেন তসলিমা নাসরিনের মতো, বিতর্কিত।
>নারী নেতৃত্ব নিয়ে বিতর্কে প্রশ্ন তোলা হয়েছিলÑ খালেদা জিয়ার স্থান কী হবে? হেফাজতের দাবি মানা হলে খালেদা কি প্রধানমন্ত্রী হতে পারবেন? সেই বাচ্চা মৌলভী টেলিভিশনে বেশ দৃঢ়তার সঙ্গে বলেছেন যে, খালেদার ক্ষেত্রে ব্যতিক্রম করা হবে। তবে, বিএনপি জামায়াত ও আওয়ামীবিরোধী মহিলাদের ক্ষেত্রে কোন ছাড় দেয়া হবে না। ফ্যাশন প্যারেড করে ঘোরাফেরা বন্ধ। সিনেমা-ফ্যাশন তো বন্ধ হবেই।
কিন্তু মূল কথা হলো, ক্ষমতায় যেতে হলে যদি ধর্মের ক্ষেত্রে খানিকটা ছাড় দিতে হয়, তা হলে দেয়া যাবে। জামায়াতও তাই মনে করে। তারা এও মনে করে, প্রয়োজনে মিথ্যা বলা জায়েজ।
>ব্যতিক্রম আরো করা হচ্ছে। স্বঘোষিত নাস্তিক কবি ফরহাদ মাজহার যেহেতু জামায়াত-বিএনপি চিন্তা- আধারের [থিংক ট্যাংক] প্রধান সেহেতু জামায়াত-হেফাজত তার বিরুদ্ধে নিশ্চুপ। শুধু তাই নয় ইসলামের স্বঘোষিত ঠিকাদার মাহমুদুর রহমানের দৈনিক আমার দেশ ও যুদ্ধাপরাধী আলবদর মীর কাশেম আলীর নয়া দিগন্তে নিয়ত তার সচিত্র প্রতিবেদন প্রকাশিত হচ্ছে। হেফাজত ও জামায়াতে ইসলামী কি ফন্দিবাজ
ইসলাম মনে হচ্ছে না? কারণ, জামায়াত বিএনপি প্রতিদিন শাহবাগের তরুণদের নাস্তিক বলে উল্লেখ করছে। হেফাজত তাদের সভায় 'শেখ হাসিনার গালে জুতা মার' সেøাগান দিয়ে তাকে নাস্তিক ঘোষণা করছে, কিন্তু স্বঘোষিত নাস্তিক, লম্পট, চোর-ছ্যাচ্চড়দের বিরুদ্ধে তারা আশ্চর্যজনকভাবে নিশ্চুপ। না, এখানেই শেষ নয়। আল্লামা শফি সমকালের সেই সাক্ষাতকারে যা বলেছেন তা আরও বিভ্রান্তিকর, অনেকাংশে পুরো
সত্য নয়। আমি খানিকটা উদ্ধৃত করছিÑ
>আল্লামা শফি : হেফাজতে ইসলাম প্রতিষ্ঠাকাল থেকে ইসলাম ও মুসলমানদের স্বার্থবিরোধী বিভিন্ন পদক্ষেপের জোরালো প্রতিবাদ জানিয়ে আসছে। সংবিধান থেকে আল্লাহ্র ওপর আস্থা ও বিশ্বাসের নীতি তুলে দেয়া, নতুন প্রবর্তিত ধর্মহীন শিক্ষানীতি, হিজাব পালনে নারীদের বাধ্য করা যাবে না বলে হাইকোর্টের রায়, রাষ্ট্রীয়ভাবে ধর্মনিরপেক্ষ নীতি প্রতিষ্ঠা, ফতোয়াবিরোধী হাইকোর্টের রায়,
রাষ্ট্রধর্ম ইসলাম ও বিসমিল্লাহ বাদ দেয়ার চেষ্টা, ঢালাওভাবে আলেম-ওলামা ও কওমী মাদ্রাসার সঙ্গে জঙ্গীবাদের সংশ্লিষ্টতা নিয়ে অপপ্রচার, হাইকোর্টে কোরান সংশোধনের জন্য মামলা এবং ইসলামী রাজনীতি নিষিদ্ধের চেষ্টার বিরুদ্ধে আগেও আন্দোলন করেছি আমরা। এখন আন্দোলন করছি আল্লাহ ও তার রাসূলের (সা) অবমাননাকারীদের দৃষ্টান্তমূলক শাস্তি নিশ্চিত করতে। খেয়াল করলে দেখবেন, হেফাজতের
কোন আন্দোলনেই নেই রাজনীতির বীজ। হেফাজতে ইসলাম তার এই অরাজনৈতিক ভূমিকা ভবিষ্যতেও অব্যাহত রাখবে। [ঐ]

>এবার বিশ্লেষণ করা যাক-
>
>১. 'সংবিধান থেকে আল্লাহর...'-এটি ঠিক নয়, বিসমিল্লাহির রহমানির রাহিম এখনও আছে।
>২. 'নতুন প্রবর্তিত ধর্মহীন শিক্ষানীতি'-এটি ঠিক নয়। নতুন শিক্ষানীতিতে সবচেয়ে বেশি গুরুত্ব দেয়া হয়েছে ধর্মকে।
>৩. 'হিজাব পালনে'... এই রায় সম্পর্কে জানা নেই। যদি রায় আদালতের হয় তা হলে সরকারের কিছু করার নেই।
>৪. 'রাষ্ট্রীয়ভাবে ধর্মনিরপেক্ষ নীতি'... এটি আংশিক সত্য। তবে, রাষ্ট্রধর্ম ইসলাম বহাল থাকায় এই নীতি কার্যকর নয়।
>৫ 'ফতোয়াবিরোধী হাইকোর্টের...' এখানে সরকারের করার কিছু নেই। তাছাড়া মাদ্রাসায় যারা পড়বে তারাই ফতোয়া দিতে পারবেÑ এমন ইসলামী আইন কোথাও নেই।
>৬. 'রাষ্ট্রধর্ম ইসলাম ও বিসমিল্লাহ বাদ দেয়া'Ñ এটি ঠিক নয়।
>৭. 'ঢালাওভাবে কওমী...' এটি অস্বীকার করা যেতে পারে। কিন্তু বাস্তবে কথাটা অসত্য নয়।
>৮. 'হাইকোর্টে কোরান সংশোধন...' এটি সঠিক নয়।
>৯. 'ইসলামী রাজনীতি নিষিদ্ধ...' এটি ঠিক নয়। জামায়াত নিষিদ্ধ মানেই ইসলামী রাজনীতি নিষিদ্ধÑ এটি ভেবে নিলে অন্য কথা।
>১০. 'আন্দোলন করছি আল্লাহ...' এটি বিভ্রান্তিকর উক্তি। এটি ঠিক হলে ব্যভিচারি, স্বঘোষিত কমিউনিস্ট, চোর হিসাবে খ্যাতদের মঞ্চে নিয়ে উল্লাস প্রকাশ করা হতো না এবং ইসলামী চিন্তা ট্যাংকির প্রধান হিসাবে স্বঘোষিত নাস্তিকদের মেনে নেয়া হতো না। আগে ফরহাদ মজহার বা শফিক রেহমানকে নাস্তিক ঘোষণা করে যদি অন্যদের ঢালাওভাবে নাস্তিক বলা হয়, তা হলে তার না হয় একটা যৌক্তিকতা খোঁজার
চেষ্টা করা যেতে পারে।
>১১. 'হেফাজতের কোন আন্দোলনেই নেই রাজনীতির...' এটি ঠিক নয়। আল্লামা শফির সমস্ত বক্তব্যই রাজনৈতিক এবং জামায়াতধর্মী। লক্ষ্য করুন, মওলানা শফির সাক্ষাতকারে উল্লিখিত ১১টি পয়েন্টের মধ্যে ৮টি ঠিক নয়। বাকি তিনটি আংশিক সত্য। জামায়াত এসব 'দাবি' প্রায়ই তোলে। এই হচ্ছে জামায়াত। এই হচ্ছে হেফাজত। এরপরও যদি কেউ বলে বা বিশ্বাস করে জামায়াতের সঙ্গে হেফাজতের কোন সম্পর্ক নেই তাহলে সেই
পুরনো প্রবচনটিই আবার উদ্ধৃত করতে হবে 'হায়রে কপাল মন্দ, চোখ থাকিতে অন্ধ।' (চলবে)http://www.dailyjan akantha.com/ news_view. php?nc=16& dd=2013-04- 12&ni= 131948

Has not the Kalerkantha reporter violated professional ethics by disclosing the name of the interviewee although the latter is concerned about his safety and security?
At the time of grabbing the land, Rana's father was a leader of BNP. It is a common practice that these social miscreants always take shelter in the party in power. Bhorer Kagaj report was different to some extent and showed Rana as having received favor from BNP. I am well aware of study by Dr. Barakat of DU according to which land grabbed by AL- and BNP supporters is almost half-and-half.
We will have hopefully more facts about Rana and his property. My point was you are not as much vocal against Hefajat-Jamat deeds as against AL. Saying that you do not support ciminal acts is not enough. Proposal to curtail the freedom of women or declaring Ahamdeyaas as non-Muslims can have different reactions from different people. You need to be more specific about Hefajat-Jamat as you are so about AL.
Take the demands by Hefajat one at a time and give your comment on the same. This can be a good acid test.

I don't know if Mr. Rahman sees himself as an Islamist or not, but by now it has been well established that he is always desperate to glorify and defend Islam; he does not let any such opportunity to do so to go in vain. Love for Islam should not be translated to defending criminal acts committed by the Jihadists or being silent or indifferent when such crimes are committed. It is true that Mr. Rahman does not defend criminal acts, rather he is against such acts. But this is not enough.
>>> >>> >> Kindly re-read your post again. It looks like you aanswered your own questions.
Let me ask you if I do not support criminals, why it is NOT enough?
I only explain what "Authentic Islam" teaches us. I leave readers alone to accept it or reject it. This is probably the best way to share your religion to remove misunderstanding. Since this forum is full of distortions about Islam.
He is very prompt in picking an unfounded news item to emphasize that the criminals involved in recent Savar building collapse are all from AL (his favorite acronym BAL).

কথাগুলো বলছিলেন রবীন্দ্রনাথ সরকার। তাঁর জায়গা দখল করেই বহুতল 'রানা প্লাজা' গড়ে তোলেন সাভার পৌর যুবলীগের যুগ্ম আহ্বায়ক ও সাভার পৌর ছাত্রলীগের সাবেক সাধারণ সম্পাদক সোহেল রানা। রানা প্লাজার ধ্বংসস্তূপের পাশেই (খসরুবাগান, ৩৯বি মজিদপুর) রবীন্দ্রনাথের ব্যবসাপ্রতিষ্ঠান এস এস সরকার ব্রাদার্স। গতকাল শনিবার দুপুরে সেখানে তাঁর সঙ্গে কথা হয় এ প্রতিবেদকের। কথা বলার সময়
তাঁর চোখেমুখে ছিল আতঙ্কের ছাপ। কোনো কথাই তিনি বলতে চাচ্ছিলেন না। দখল ও সোহেল রানার প্রসঙ্গ তুললেই তিনি এড়িয়ে যাচ্ছিলেন।
এক পর্যায়ে রবীন্দ্রনাথ বলতে থাকেন, 'সাংবাদিক দাদা, আপনিও হিন্দু মানুষ। আমিও হিন্দু মানুষ। আপনি আমার আর কোনো ক্ষতি করবেন না। আপনি তো জানেন, এই দেশে হিন্দুদের কিভাবে বেঁচে থাকতে হয়। রানা প্লাজা ধসে আমার বাড়ি ও ব্যবসাপ্রতিষ্ঠানের ওপর এসে পড়ে। আমার চারজন স্টাফ ও তিনজন কাজের লোক মারা গেছে। দুর্ঘটনার পর আমার বাড়ির মালামাল লুট হয়ে গেছে। নিজের বাড়িতেই এখন আমি ঢুকতে পারছি
না। উদ্ধারকারীরা আমার বাড়ি সিল করে রেখেছে। আমার পরিবারের লোকজন বিভিন্ন জায়গায় আত্মীয়স্বজনের বাড়িতে থাকছে।'
এখনো বাংলাদেশটা মগের মুল্লুক হয়ে যায়নি। সোহেল রানাই তো আজ পলাতক। তাকেই তো পুলিশ খুঁজছে- এ কথার পরিপ্রেক্ষিতে রবীন্দ্রনাথ বলেন, 'ও এখন পলাতক থাকলেও দেখা যাবে, কিছু দিন পরই বেরিয়ে এসেছে। তখন আপনারা থাকবেন না। আপনাদের সমস্যাও হবে না। সমস্যা হবে আমার।'
এভাবে কথা বলতে বলতে এক পর্যায়ে তিনি বলেন, '১৯৮৯ সালে বাসস্টান্ডসংলগ্ন ছোট বলিমেহের মৌজার ১৫, ১৬, ১৭ ও ২৩ নম্বর দাগের ১২৬ শতাংশ জমি কিনি। জমির মালিক ছিলেন গণফোরাম নেতা মোস্তফা মহসীন মন্টু, তাঁর ভাই ও ভাইয়ের স্ত্রী। এসব দাগের কিছু অংশের জমি কিনে সোহেল রানার বাবা আবদুল খালেক। আমার জমি মাপজোক করে সীমানাপ্রাচীর দিয়ে ঘিরে দেই। ২০০১ সালের দিকে আবদুল খালেকের ছেলে সোহেল
রানা আমার সীমানা প্রাচীর ভেঙে ২৭ শতাংশ জমি দখল করে নেয়। ওই ঘটনায় একটা মামলা করি। ওর বাবা তখন বিএনপি করতেন। এর পরই আমাকে সাভারছাড়া হতে হয়। ছয়-সাত মাস বিভিন্ন জায়গায় কাটাতে হয়েছে। সাভারে আসতে পারিনি। ঢাকায় হোটেলে হোটেলে কাটাতে হয়েছে। আত্মীয়স্বজনের বাসায় থাকতে হয়েছে। ওই সময়ে ব্যবসার চরম ক্ষতি হয়েছে। স্থানীয় বিভিন্ন ব্যক্তিকে ধরে সাভারে ফিরি। কিন্তু দখল হওয়া
জায়গাটা ছেড়ে দিতে বাধ্য হই। আমার ঘটনা সাভারে এমন কোনো লোক নেই যে জানে না। যে কাউকে জিজ্ঞাসা করলেই পেয়ে যাবেন। আমার কাছে শুনতে হবে না।'
রবীন্দ্রনাথ সরকার বলেন, 'পরে ওই জায়গায় ভবন নির্মাণ শুরু হয়; দেখলাম ভবনের নির্মাণকাজ খুবই খারাপ। এ ব্যাপারে সাভার পৌরসভা ও রাজধানী উন্নয়ন কর্তৃপক্ষের (রাজউক) কাছে অভিযোগ করেছিলাম। রাজউকের লোক এসে দুদিন কাজ বন্ধ রেখেছিল। পরে দেখি, আবার কাজ শুরু হয়ে গেছে। ওর (রানা) সামনে বড় বড় নেতারাও পাত্তা পায় না। রাজউক তো দূরের কথা।'
রবীন্দ্রনাথ বলেন, 'আমার বাড়ির ওপর রানা প্লাজা ধসে পড়ায় আমার বাড়িও মারাত্মকভাবে ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত হয়। দ্রুত বাড়ি থেকে বেরিয়ে পড়ি। পাশেই আমার ব্যবসাপ্রতিষ্ঠান। সেটাও ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত হয়েছে। গুদামের মালামালও নষ্ট হয়ে গেছে। আমার বসতবাড়িতেও ফাটল ধরেছে। ওটাতে আর বসবাস করা যাবে না। দুর্ঘটনার পর বাড়িতে গিয়ে দেখি, সব মালামাল লুট হয়ে গেছে।'

Rana at RAB headquarters
Rana brought to Dhaka after arrestAlso
Rana, a Senior Joint Convenor of the Awami League's youth front Juba League's Savar municipality unit, has been on the run since the collapse.
I generally stay away from directly commenting on politics. However I took this event as a national disaster and shared some information. Still if you look around there are pretty compelling pictures of Rana and savar BAL MP kissing (Published at Prothom Alo front page) and many more interesting picture.
I have no intention of speaking against any political patry but only commented on a leading news. I felt it is you who probably a "Blind supporter of BAL" and wanted to defend some criminals by attacking me personally in this forum. It seems you are not aware of situation in Bangladesh but eager to comment on it.
Please spend some time on the topic, before you form an opinion. This is the FAIR way of dealing with anything we discuss here.
Also I have explained the BAL issue. It stands of Bangladesh Awami League (There are awami league in Pakistan as well, it is an Urdu word). Same way I describe BNP. Which stands for Bangladesh Nationalist party.
If you smell something wrong in it, I am afraid it is in "Your head".
I sincerelyhope, you will read this in the right spirit and will not resort to personal attacks.
Shalom!

There are reasons for one to become speechless after he watches the 5-year-old kids having arms training for Jihad. I tried to open some of the links given without success. I am sure all of them are not unfounded. But it is also true that the Islamophobic captionIS ISLAM THE RELIGION OF PEACE? is misleading and neither proves nor disproves the assertion that that Islam is not a religion of peace the reason being that the said caption is based on only a tiny fraction of all news items related to aspirations of the Muslims worldwide.
Having said this, I should also say that Mr. Rahman's overreaction is unnecessary. I don't know if Mr. Rahman sees himself as an Islamist or not, but by now it has been well established that he is always desperate to glorify and defend Islam; he does not let any such opportunity to do so to go in vain. Love for Islam should not be translated to defending criminal acts committed by the Jihadists or being silent or indifferent when such crimes are committed. It is true that Mr. Rahman does not defend criminal acts, rather he is against such acts. But this is not enough. He is very prompt in picking an unfounded news item to emphasize that the criminals involved in recent Savar building collapse are all from AL (his favorite acronym BAL). He did not care to verify the news against any other sources. But he seems to be soft on Jamaat or Hefajat-e-Islam I don't know whether he realizes that by not criticizing the demands of Hefajat-e-Islam, he is
rather undermining Islam. The bottom line is that the way he upholds the teachings of Islam is not consistent.

I am speechless by seeing the 'plight of the advancement of the mankind' having minor/future generation trained in such a manner.
Don't you think that they should have toys,games, books etc.in their hands at this stage of lives instead of rifles as you and I had?
You are 100% right that "TRUTH( the pictures here weren't depicted, hence they aren't fiction and picdon't fool anyone) is more powerful than fiction" . I truly feel pity for the kidsand that's why I said in my post -Please see for yourselves.

I am speechless too. I am just sad that, anyone from our country will fall for Pam Geller Production.
Seeking authentic information from that source is like asking a Nazi to praise a Jewish person!!
I tried to visit some of the articles but the links do not work!!
Huge distortion but maybe you can fool a few ignorant people but TRUTH is always be more powerful than fiction.

>Niagara Falls Train Jihad: Moderate Muslims Yesterday, Jihadists Today
>Thetwo jihadists behind the plot to bomb a VIA passenger train over Niagara Falls were Chiheb ESSEGHAIER and Raed JASER. Highly educated, with access to the best engineering and science intel. What is equally disturbing is that there are many Muslims on his team at the research institute in Canada. What did they know and when did they know it?
>Royal Canadian Mounted Police press release
>>Ottawa, April 22, 2013– Today, the RCMP arrested two individuals and charged them with conspiring to carry out a terrorist attack against a VIA passenger train. The accused have been charged under sections 248, 235 (1), 83.2, 83.18, 83.21 of the Criminal Code of Canada. As a result of extensive collaborative efforts, the RCMP was able to disrupt the threat early. While the RCMP believed that these individuals had the capacity and intent to carry out these criminal acts, there was no imminent threat to the general public, rail employees, train passengers or infrastructure. The two accused, Chiheb ESSEGHAIER and Raed JASER, who live in the Montreal and Toronto area were conspiring to carry out a terrorist attack against a VIA passenger train. Charges include conspiring to carry out an attack against, and conspiring to murder persons unknown for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a terrorist group.

>Canadian Muslims Plot to Bomb Passenger Train over the Niagara River and send it flying
>The 2:30 p.m. background briefing, attended by several prominent Muslim community leaders, was to be followed by a news conference near Toronto's Pearson airport. In recent years, police have made a point of briefing community leaders before announcing terror arrests.
>>The arrests come at a time of heightened public concern over terrorism following the bombings in Boston as well as recent revelations over the involvement of radicalized Canadian youths in overseas terrorist groups (more at The Natinal Post here)
>>Muslim leader and law enforcement? What is wrong with this picture? Why isn't law enforcement imposing jihad sensitivity training upon these "Muslim leaders" ? Why aren't these Muslim leaders calling for the removal of jihadic doctrine from Islam? Why aren't these Muslim leaders condemning the Islamic texts and teachings that command jihad? What were these Muslims doing there -- enforcing sharia language of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police? These jihadists had intended to blow up the train over Niagara Falls and send it crashing down into the Falls. The evil and savagery of jihadists is unimaginable. The objective was to drop the train into the Niagara River as it crossed from Canada to USA over the bridge.

>Syria: Metropolitans Boulos Yazigi and Mor Youhanna Ibrahim Kidnapped Outside Aleppo, Driver Murdered
>I have warned since the jihadists began agitating in Syria that there will be a genocide of Christians and Alawites of unimaginable proportions should Assad lose control. Two Metropolitans were kidnapped, their driver murdered in Syria. A Metroplitan is the head of an ecclesiastical province, ranking between archbishop and patriarch. Obama is backing and arming the jihadists in Syria. Once again, Obama backs the Islamic supremacist horse -- every time. He is consistent in this.
>Metropolitans Boulos Yazigi and Mor Youhanna Ibrahim Kidnapped Outside Aleppo by OCP on April 23, 2013 (thanks to Maksim)
>>Metropolita n Paul (Yazigi) of Aleppo
>>Metropolita n Mor Yohanna Ibrahim
>>Armed men have kidnapped the Greek Orthodox Metropolitan of Aleppo and Iskanderun, Metropolitan Boulos Yazigi and the Syriac Orthodox Metropolitan of Aleppo, Metropolitan Youhanna Ibrahm near the city of Aleppo. An-Nahar has learned that the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate, which recieved news of the kidnapping of the two metropolitans this evening, will not issue any statement before tomorrow, pending their receiving complete and precise information about the kidnapping. According to details relayed to an-Nahar by specific sources, Metropolitan Yazigi was on the Turkish side of his archdiocese, which extends from Aleppo to Antakya and Metropolitan Ibrahim and gone to accompany him. Along the road on their return to Aleppo, an armed group stopped them before they could arrive to the city, killing Ibrahim's driver and kidnapping the two metropolitans. The Orthodox metropolitan's office relates that the two metropolitans were not injured. Metropolitan
Boulos Yaziji is the brother of the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch and All the East John X Yazigi.

>A Via Rail train waits to leave the station at Union Station in Toronto. (Reuters / Mark Blinch)
>Authorities have reportedly prevented an al-Qaeda-supported terrorist attack that aimed to disrupt a major North American transportation route.
>Canadian law enforcement confirmed Monday afternoon that authorities thwarted an alleged terror plot in Canada that targeted Via Rail passenger train that runs between Toronto, Ontario and New York City in the United States.
>>According to CTV, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) apprehended and charged two men earlier that day thought to be responsible for hatching what is being called a homegrown terror plot.
>>The suspects now in custody have been named as Chiheb Esseghaier and Raed Jaser, residents of Montreal, Quebec and Toronto, Ontario, respectively.
>>The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation adds that the suspects were under investigation for over a year before brought into custody, and assistance was provided by entities on both sides of the border including the United States' FBI and Department of Homeland Security Department.
>>The suspects, say investigators, were spotted routinely monitoring train activity in the Toronto area.
>>Robert Fife, chief of CTV's Ottawa news bureau, reports that both suspects were arrested early Monday and "will face criminal charges."
>>"I am told that the two people who have been arrested, they are linked somehow to al-Qaeda," Fife says.

>Setting Off A Nail Bomb Isn't Basim Usmani's Favorite Boston Marathon Activity
>I get a lot of abuse and vilification in this work, but this is a particularly vile example. This is an interview I did with a Muslim musician and writer named Basim Usmani, who wanted to talk to me about pop music from the 80s. The interview part is all right, but his prefatory paragraphs are among the most vicious I've ever seen. And if you think my headline above is outrageous, it's patterned exactly after Usmani's headline: "'Killing an Arab' Isn't Pamela Geller's Favorite Song by the Cure," by Basim Usmani, Vice.com, April 21, 2013
>An interview with Pamela Geller would seem like it would be pretty straightforward. Not too many people know who she is, but amongst those who do, she is either dismissed for being dim, or found generally repulsive for her vociferous opposition to what she claims is the rapid Islamization of America. For "lone wolf" white gunmen, like Andrew Brevik, the Norwegian citizen who opened fire on a multi-cultural summer camp, she's viewed as the kind of American white vigilante that D.W. Griffith might have imagined.
>>Notice how Usmani frames the struggle for freedom against Sharia oppression solely in racial terms. In Egypt, protesters have been taking to the streets to fight against the Islamization of that country. Huge numbers of people there don't want to see Sharia in Egypt. Does Basim Usmani think they're all "dim" or "repulsive&quo t; racist "Islamophobes& quot;? And while getting Anders Breivik' s name wrong, he makes the far more serious (and ideologically motivated) error of thinking I was some kind of heroine to him. This shows the power of enemedia propaganda. Usmani has heard me associated with Breivik so often, he probably doesn't realize that Breivik actually mentioned me only once, and that in connection with a news story I had posted here at Atlas. He also referenced CNN, the NY Times, and other news outlets, not to mention Barack Obama, John F. Kennedy, Charles Darwin, Thomas Jefferson, and a host of other people. Usmani wouldn't dream of holding them
responsible for this madman's murders.
>Her blog, Atlas Shrugs, is predictable. The bulk of my correspondence with Pamela happened before the Boston Marathon Bombings, but even after a national tragedy, her opinions remained stagnant. She stops shy of calling President Obama an Al Qaeda member. In a recent polemic, Geller described Obama's handling of the Boston Marathon bombing, writing that the United States government is an "Islamic supremacist regime that promotes jihad around the world."There's another thing Usmani says I don't do: call Obama an Al Qaeda bomber. First "Killing Arabs" wasn't my favorite song, and now this. I never mentioned that Cure song, he did. It seems as if Usmani had an idea of what I was like in his mind, and when I didn't turn out to be that way, he did his best to make me fit his narrative anyway. And I actually wrote that the Saudi regime, not the U.S. government, was an "Islamic supremacist regime that promotes jihad around the world." Did Vice.com
lay off all its fact-checkers?
>She has currently crowd-sourced $20,000 of her $50,000 goal for her next anti-Sharia poster campaign on indiegogo. It's the follow-up to her controversial anti-Sharia campaign that placed large posters and advertisements on the sides of city busses and inside subways in New York, San Francisco, and Chicago.
>>She's perpetually on the road, giving talks, and promoting her book, Freedom or Submission: On the dangers of Islamic Extremism & American Complacency. She sells a product wrapped in our fears; her business is instilling a victim-complex into White America by drumming up paranoia about "Islamic Supremacy" and "creeping Sharia." She remains an abundant source of real fear for brown folk living in New York, who still haven't gotten over the prospect of being hurtled into oncoming-trains.
>>Usmani is referring to a madwoman who pushed a Hindu onto the path of a train because, she said, she was angry at Muslims over 9/11. Leftists and Islamic supremacists tried to blame me for this, although there was absolutely no evidence that this woman ever heard of me or my work. Nor do Usmani or those who blamed me earlier ever mentionthe Muslim who pushed an Infidel onto the tracks the week before the madwoman committed her crime. It is much more likely that she was influenced by him than by me.
>Most recently the hashtag #indienono has been tweeted to protest her"Anti-Sharia" campaign. Her posters are being likened to hate-speech. Her advertisements on buses came under fire by both the Mayor of San Francisco and the same SF Transit company that agreed to run them in the first place.
>>I've long suspected there would be some grand-reveal -- that she's really some kind of Jerry Lawler-style Performance artist, just cashing in on being incendiary. What I found was very surprising.
>>After doing time at the New York Daily News and New York Observer, Gellar [sic] spent a portion of the 90s living as a wealthy housewife in Long Island. Which may be three most incredulous [he means "incredible&qu ot;; get a dictionary, Usmani -- Atlas] things about her. She found her calling nearly nine years after 9/11, when her campaign against the Park 51 Islamic Community Center rebranded it permanently as the Ground Zero Mosque. She has been hoisted up to the top of the post-9/11 alarmist human pyramid of talking heads, "Christian Rights Activists,"and disenfranchised whites living around Europe and the United States.
>>It was at Ground Zero, slated to take the place of a building that was extensively damaged in the 9/11 attacks, and so was part of Ground Zero. It was a mosque, as that is still all that is happening in the Burlington Coat Factory building: Muslim prayers. And we defeated it. And it's bitterly ironic for him to be talking after the Boston jihad bombings about my stirring up "fear" and "alarmism. " And here again is more proof of Usmani's non-existent research skills. I did not find my calling nine years after 9/11. That may be when Usmani became aware of me, but I have been blogging/writing and activating, every day, day in and day out, since February 2005, after spending three years studying the jihadic doctrine.
>She wrote about my band, the Kominas, in 2009 with the headline "Sharia Law in the USA - Everybody dance now, no wait."
>>Her editorial remarks were scant. They amounted to single-line captions between pictures. I remember one reading, "lock up your kids."
>>I figured I'd try to get in contact with her between her speaking gigs to talk about music because she's commented on it in the past and about the "rapid Islamification" these United States, because fighting that seems to be her calling in life. The following exchange took place email during the past 10 days.
>>VICE: You've blogged about loving the Cure, what's your favorite album and why? They're one of my favorite bands. How'd you get into them?
>>Pamela Geller: My Cure fave is "Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me." I was very into punk rock. I loved the return of bare bones rock 'n' roll --crazy for the Ramones, Broooce, Patti Smith, et al so it was natural that would lead me to the second British invasion of the Smiths, the Cure, the Clash.
>>The Smiths was always on - the soundtrack of my angst. And I loved Elvis Costello. All of it - his attempts at country and classical. Just brilliant.
>>Is your favorite Cure song "Killing an Arab"?
>>I think my favorite is "Friday I'm in love".
>>Do you think the public is too mean to Robert Smith for gaining so much weight?
>>I think the public is vicious (and shallow). I mean, really. It's not like we loved him for his beauty and his bod. We loved his pain. His weight is a manifestation of the pain. But he enjoys himself despite of himself.
>>The Cure or Depeche Mode? I always thought Depeche Mode were wusses.
>>You can't even use Depeche and the Cure in the same sentence. Depeche was like cheap candy -- new wave light.
>>For me, the best album the Cure ever put out was the "live" album, mostly due to that moment in the beginning of "Edge of the deep green sea", where you're capsized into an ocean of guitar feedback. Have you ever seen them live?
>>I never saw them live :(
>>What Smiths song do you think sums up your personality?
>>Some girls are bigger than others
>>Bauhaus or Joy Division. From your music taste it seems like they'd fit right in.
>>I don't shut them off but they are not on my play list
>>What&# 39;s your favorite Elvis Costello song, I know its hard to say, but what's a song that has never stopped speaking to you?
>>Hmmmm, "The Other End of the Telescope." Honorable mentions: "High Infidelity," and "Shipbuilding."
>>Say I'm new to Elvis Costello, what album should I start with? I know he's done country-classical music.
>>Start with his first album My Aim is True It's bloody fantastic.
>>Any newer rappers that you like?
>>No
>>You recently posted about how indiegogo stood behind your right to fund-raise when you were accused of promoting racial-hatred. Can you explain Indiegogo's position, regarding their support for you?
>>I published their email. It said they allow anyone to fundraise. I appreciate their non-political stance in this age when everything is politicized.
>>Critics of yours allege that the spike in attacks on Muslim and Sikh Americans in 2012 was related to public figures such as yourself equating Muslims to savages. What would you say to them?
>>I would say that they were perpetrating an outrageous libel designed to discredit my work for freedom. I have never advocated any kind of violence. Sikhs stood with us at our rally at Ground Zero on 9/11/2011. The ad did not equate Muslims with savages, as you probably know. It equated the jihadis who kill innocent civilians in Israel, and those who celebrate those killings, with savages. Muslims who reject that savagery should be standing with me.
>>Do you think the large Muslim communities in cities like New York, Chicago, SF, Houston or Boston can be a force behind savagery, ie the Islamization of the USA?
>>Some people there are, some aren't. Certainly there are mosque leaders in those cities with ties to Muslim Brotherhood- linked groups.
>>Your most recent book is about the Islamization of the USA, what are some examples of the Islamization of America that pop out at you?
>>The Justice Department forcing the Berkeley School District to pay $75,000 to Safoorah Khan because she demanded three weeks vacation during her first year of teaching to go on the hajj [pilgrimage to Mecca]. The $25,000 that the DOJ forced Essex County, NJ to pay to Yvette Beshier for denying her request to wear a hijab on the job, which they did for safety reasons. The general fear in the mainstream media to say or do anything remotely critical of jihad or Islamic supremacism.
>>Can a secular state or country be home to a Muslim community without the threat of Islamization looming?
>>That has never before happened in history.
>>Do you think critics of the NYPD's surveillance of Muslim communities are ungrateful?
>>Ungrateful for what? Bloomberg, who is a great friend of the Muslim community, strongly defended the legality of this program. An investigation found it had broken no laws. So what was overly invasive about it?
>>Besides 9/11, is there a personal anecdote to share that led to you embarking on advocating against Sharia in the USA?
>>I always took my freedom for granted. It never occurred to me that it could be taken away. When I realized that, I knew I had to fight for it, because no one else was going to do it for me.
>>Don't you think the Muslim world's hatred of Obama should quell fears that he may be a secret-Muslim?
>>No. He has aided the advance of Islamic supremacism and Sharia all across North Africa. I don't know or care what his religion is. The problem him is his pro-Sharia foreign policy.
>>Do you support Obama's use of drones and is he doing enough to protect America?
>>I am in favor of any lawful resistance to the jihad. Obama has done nothing to protect America against Islamization. He had Osama and Awlaki killed but aids those who advance their goal (Sharia over the West) by different, non-violent means.
>>Could you maybe review, if only in a few words per track, some of my band's songs?
>>
>>Love the rockabilly groove on "No one is gonna honor kill my baby" but as for the lyirics, really?
>>Yes it's clearly satirical.
>>Satirical? About gender apartheid, creed apartheid, honor killings, persecution of religious minorities, mass murder? I wouldn't be so sure that many didn't take you literally—especially in Pakistan. There is a jihad punk movement (MEMRI etc) that spreads violent jihad.
>>Perhaps I was a bit too tongue-in-cheek in that 4-year-old post but I think you are doing your music and your talent a disservice. It's like joking about the ovens. Something's just ain't funny.
>>What about the other tracks I sent you, like "Doomsday," or "Tahrir Square Dance"?
>>It&# 39;s catchy. Amateurish but that gives it an edge. "Tahrir Square Dance" was danceable. I liked it, second to "Honor Baby."
>>What are the chances we could do a sit-down interview in New York somewhere? One good thing about having a sizable Muslim community in NY is the availability of delicious lamb, goat, and beef dishes.
>>As for sit-downs, my time is too crunchy. I conduct all interviews this way (I gave you more time than most everyone). Between the blog, my columns, the activism, social media, ads, creative, talks, travel, my life and family, I have no time. I barely sleep. Maybe when things cool off a bit.
>>Until then.
>>It bears noting that Basim repeatedly sent me his "music" to review. It's terrible, wannabe trash. At first I did not respond, so as not to have to lie, but he just kept on -- wanting my opinion so badly. It stunk. I was more than polite in my reponse. The fact that he plays this garbage in Pakistan -- songs about honor killings -- is particularly rich.

>Tamerlan? What's in a name?
>According to Andy Bostom, plenty:
>"Tamerlan(e)" Tsarnaev and Killing From Koranic Piety
>>However, in the end, there was even a more basic, profound warning sign of the Tsarnaev family's dangerous Weltanschauung—the very name Anzor and Zubeidat Tsarnaev chose for their eldest son: Tamerlan(e).
>>The cover art for my recent book "Sharia Versus Freedom—The Legacy of Islamic Totalitarianism,"reproduces a miniature painting from a sixteenth century manuscript of the Zafarnama by Sharaf al-Din Ali-Yazdi. The image was housed in the British Library and originally published/produced in Shiraz, Iran, 1552. It depicts soldiers filing before the Islamized Mongol conqueror Amir Timur-i-lang, or "Tamerlane," holding heads of their decapitated enemies which they used to build a tower shaped like the minaret of a mosque, in Baghdad (1401).
>>The upper inscription embedded within the painting reads,
>>How fate and destiny have cast awe in the minds of the "Tavaajis"! [king's messengers, and herein, more generally, "traitors"]
>>In an orderly and numerical fashion,
>>They made minarets with the heads of the wretched "Tavaajis"
>>As a lesson to the inhabitants of the world.
>>While the lower embedded inscription states,
>>So that no subordinate would dare to challenge superiors and no fox acts like a lion, and threatens the kings; Under the temptation of the demon pride
>>Yazdi's Zafarnamaremains the best-known example of early Persian historiography of Tamerlane. John Woods 1988 review of this genre of "Timurid"biographical writings emphasizes the rapid, widespread praise Yazdi's manuscript achieved, its source as an inspiration for artistic renditions of the themes described, and its subsequent translation into both French and English, which disseminated the contents well beyond Persian-speaking Muslim lands:
>>Immediately after its composition, the work was widely acclaimed as a model of elegance and style for historical writing in Iran, Central Asia, and India, and its themes frequently provided inspiration for the art of manuscript illumination in those regions. Its translation into French and English in the early eighteenth/ twelfth century, moreover, guaranteed its reputation as the most important source of information about Timur outside the persophone Islamic world.
>>A French translation of Yazdi's Zafarnama by de la Croix was published in Paris in 1722, and this version was translated into English by J. Darby the next year. Darby's 1723 translationcharacte rizes the events surrounding Tamerlane's summer 1401 capture of Baghdad—seized from the officers of sultan Ahmed Jelair, the latter having fled (once again), seeking refuge under the Mamelukes —as follows:
>>As there had been several Tartar soldiers slain in the general assault, each soldier was ordered to bring one head of the men of Baghdad; which they accordingly did, and spared neither old men of fourscore, nor children of eight years of age. No quarter was given either to rich or poor; no one could count them up…Towers were made of these heads, to serve as an example to posterity. Some learned men found means to cast themselves at the feet of the emperor, who granted them pardon and quarter, and even gave them vests and horses, with convoy to conduct them to what place of security they desired: all the rest of the inhabitants were exterminated. Afterwards Timur gave orders that there should not remain one single house in the city unrazed; but that the mosques, colleges, and hospitals should be spared. Accordingly they ruined the markets, caravanserais, hermitages, cells, monasteries, palaces, and other edifices. Thus says the Alcoran [Qur'an],
"The houses of the impious are overthrown by the order of God." [perhaps referring to Qur'an 59:2]. After the Tigris was grown red with the blood of the inhabitants of Baghdad, and the air began to be infected by the dead bodies, Timur decamped from that city…
>>Darby's translation also includesthe following note which refers to the Arabic writer Ahmad ibn Arabshah's harshly critical contemporary biography of Timur, "Marvels of Destiny in the History of Timur" (Ajaibul-Maqdur fi akhbari Timur):
>>Arabshah says two [i.e., decapitated heads per soldier were to be presented to Timur, or his officers]; and that there were 90,000 inhabitants of Baghdad slain in cold blood. They flung away the bodies, and made trophies of the heads piled together. There were one hundred and twenty towers made of the heads for trophies.
>>Three modern summary historical accounts of Tamerlane's 1401 ravages in Baghdad by E.G. Browne, Rene Grousset, and Jean Aubin, are quite uniform with regard to the salient details. Browne's summary, first published in 1920, maintains
>>Timur next turned his attention to Baghdad, the capital of the recalcitrant Sultan Ahmad Jalair [Ahmed Jelair], and, having taken it, made on June 20, 1401, a great massacre, in revenge for the many notable officers of his army who had perished in the siege. Each soldier was ordered to bring a head [Browne includes a note here, that states"According to Ibn Arabshah the number of Timur's soldiers on this occasion was 20,000, and each was ordered to bring two heads."], and in the words of Sharafuddin Ali Yazdi, "the market of retribution became so brisk that the broker of death sold at one price the old man of eighty and the child of eight, while the oven of wrath was so enkindled that it consumed in like manner the corporeal vestiture of the wealthy plutocrat and the wretched pauper." Having left Baghdad a smoking charnel house, Timur again turned his attention to the unfortunate Georgians…
>>Grousset's assessment, originally published in 1939, described the ravages of Timur's army once Baghdad had fallen, thusly:
>>The defenders had fought with the energy of despair, and Tamerlane's vengeance was merciless. Whereas seven years before he had treated Baghdad with some moderation, he now ordered a general massacre. Each soldier had to bring the head of an inhabitant, says Sharif ad-Din [Ali Yazdi]; two heads says Ibn Arabshah. Amid all the carnage, the literary-minded Tamerlane spared certain men of letters and even offered them coats of honor. Apart from these men, the entire population was slaughtered, and all buildings except mosques demolished. Ibn Arabshah estimates the number of victims at 90,000. July heat under the sky of Iraq soon bred epidemics from the heaped corpses and forced the victor to withdraw.
>>Jean Aubin's 1962 analysis notesthat the Baghdad siege lasted nearly forty days, adding that the Zafarnama insists, "…in hopes of seeing the city surrender and conserve it intact, Tamerlane delayed several times the attack requested by his officers." Ravaged by starvation, groups of soldiers and residents fled the city, "…by jumping from the summit of the ramparts." When Tamerlane's forces launched their final assault, escape from Baghdad was prevented by archers who were arranged on both riverbanks of the Tigris. Consistent with the earlier accounts of Browne and Grousset, Aubin summarizes the fate of Baghdad's hapless population, as follows:
>>The entire population remaining in Baghdad, including children, was methodically massacred. Every soldier had to present one head to the officer where the officers kept an accounting. Piles of severed heads were built up in different places in the city. The number of victims varies according to the source; it was on the order of several tens of thousands. The rare survivors—approximately one person out of a hundred, according to the Zafar-nama—were sold into slavery. The only ones spared were theologians, sheiks, and dervishes who managed to reach Tamerlane's pavilion. They were given food and clothes, and sent to a safe place.
>>Tamerlanewa s born at Kash (Shahr-i-Sebz, the "Green City") in Transoxiana (some 50 miles south of Samarkand, in modern Uzbekistan), on April 8 (or 11), 1336 A.D.. Amir Turghay, his father, was chief of the Gurgan or Chagtai branch of the Barlas Turks. By age 34 (1369/70), Timur had killed his major rival (Mir Husain), becoming the pre-eminent ruler of Transoxiana. He spent the next six to seven years consolidating his power in Transoxiana before launching the aggressive conquests of Persia, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and then attacking Hindustan (India) under the tottering Delhi Sultanate.
>>Groussetcon trasts Jenghiz Khan's "straightforward planning" and "clean sweeps"with the "higgledy-piggledy" order of Timur's expeditions, and the often incomplete nature of the latter's conquests:
>>Tamerlane's [Timur's] conquering activities were carried on from the Volga to Damascus, from Smyrna to the Ganges and the Yulduz, and his expeditions into these regions followed no geographical order. He sped from Tashkent to Shiraz, from Tabriz to Khodzhent, as enemy aggression dictated; a campaign in Russia occurred between two in Persia, an expedition into Central Asia between two raids into the Caucasus…[Timur] at the end of every successful campaign left the country without making any dispositions for its control except Khwarizm and Persia, and even there not until the very end. It is true that he slaughtered all his enemies as thoroughly and conscientiously as the great Mongol, and the pyramids of human heads left behind him as a warning example tell their own tale. Yet the survivors forgot the lesson given them and soon resumed secret or overt attempts at rebellion, so that it was all to do again. It appears too, that these blood soaked
pyramids diverted [Timur] from the essential objective. Baghdad, Brussa (Bursa), Sarai, Kara Shahr, and Delhi were all sacked by him, but he did not overcome the Ottoman Empire, the Golden Horde, the khanate of Mogholistan, or the Indian Sultanate; and even the Jelairs of Iraq Arabi rose up again as soon as he had passed. Thus he had to conquer Khwarizm three times, the Ili six or seven times (without ever managing to hold it for longer than the duration of the campaign), eastern Persia twice, western Persia at least three times, in addition to waging two campaigns in Russia…[Timur's] campaigns "always had to be fought again," and fight them again he did.
>>Timur's campaigns are infamous for their extensive massacres and emblematic "pyramids of heads." Brown cites "only a few" prominent examples, in addition to the graphic cover art illustration, resulting from the 1401 Baghdad carnage:
>>As specimens of those acts mention may be made of his massacre of the people of Sistan 1383-4, when he caused some two thousand prisoners to be built up into a wall; his cold-blooded slaughter of a hundred thousand captive Indians near Dihli [Delhi] (December, 1398); his burying alive of four thousand Armenians in 1400-1, and the twenty towers of skulls erected by him at Aleppo and Damascus in the same year; and his massacre of 70,000 of the inhabitants of Isfahan in (November, 1387)…
>>Timur defeatedhis major Muslim rivals, the Ottomans, under Bayezid, July 20, 1402, destroying the Ottoman army (at Cubuk), and holding the sultan captive. Bayezid died a few months later (March 9, 1403, at Aksehir), "..broken by disaster and humiliation." With the Ottoman army's decimation, the conquestof Western Anatolia (and beyond), as Grousset has noted, "was no more than a route march for Tamerlane. "Bursa, the Ottoman capital, was plundered, and Tamerlane's surrogates continued their devastating advance further to Nicaea (Iznik).
>>Ibn Arabshah and Sharif ad-Din describe the conquerors behaving like a horde of savages, and that lovely city was set on fire. Tamerlane's grandson Abu Bakr galloped as far as Nicaea (Iznik),"slaying and looting everywhere," as Sharif ad-Din tells with relish.
>>Christian Smyrna (later Izmir)—which had defied repeated Ottoman attempts at conquest—was besiegedby Tamerlane himself, after its governor, Brother Guillaume de Munte of the Knights of Rhodes refused to convert to Islam. Following a two-week siege, which began in early December, 1402, the city was overwhelmed, and a general massacre ensued. According to Ibn Arabshah,
>>…[H]e slew the grown men and cast in bonds the women and children and from the corpses of the slain built mosques and from the skulls raised towers; then he despoiled that fort of its wealth and robbed it of its treasure and emptied it and desolated and plundered it and utterly drained its silver and gold and made the wings of glad news fly with these exploits, which news according to his presumption he sent through the world with propitious augury and swift flight.
>>A rather gruesome variant on the primary use of decapitated heads for skull towers occurred during the capture and destruction of Smyrna, as recorded by the Zafarnama.
>>A few escaped slaughter by casting themselves into the sea, and swimming to the vessels; while others were drowned. After our soldiers had put the inhabitants of Smyrna to the sword, they razed the houses, as well of the city as of the cattle, casting their arms and movable goods into the sea. There were from certain parts of Europe great ships named Caraca, with two masts, and some with more, which brought over soldiers and arms to succor the inhabitants. When they came near the palace and beheld the town and castle in ruins, they were struck with fear and anchored. Timur ordered that some of the Christians heads should be thrown into these ships, which the slingers of wild-fire accordingly did. The mariners seeing their companions heads, returned in fear and frustrated of their hopes.
>>Grousset maintainedTimur was indeed a pious Muslim (who may well have belonged to the Naqshbandi Sufi order, according to Manz), while emphasizing the important Islamic motivation for Timur's jihad campaigns:
>>It is the Qur'an to which he continually appeals, the imams and [Sufi] dervishes who prophesy his success. [emphasis added] His wars were to influence the character of the jihad, the Holy War, even when—as was almost always the case— he was fighting Muslims. He had only to accuse these Muslims of lukewarmness, whether the Jagataites of the Ili and Uiguria, whose conversion was so recent, or the Sultans of Delhi who…refrained from massacring their millions of Hindu subjects.
>>Beatrice Manz concurswith Grousset's assessment about the centrality of Islamic jihadism in motiviating Tamerlane's conquests, although she also stresses his dual role as "restorer" of the Turco-Mongolian world order. Tamerlane patronized Muslim scholars, constructed Islamic religious buildings, and waged jihad campaigns for dissemination of the Muslim creed to establish his bona fides as a promoter of Islam. The Zafarnama, Manz observes, invokes promulgation of the Sharia, specifically, as a primary animating factor for many of Tamerlane's campaigns:
>>Timur undertook many of his campaigns in the interest of religious order, and we fund that almost all mentions of Sharia in [Nizan al-Dim] Shami's Zafarnameh occur as justification for Timur's conquests. His campaigns against the kings of Georgia, the Shi'ite sayyids of Amul in Mazandaran [a province in northern Iran], and the non-Muslim populations on his route to India were all ostensibly taken for the preservation of Sharia; and Shami even invoked the sanctions of religion in explaining Timur's campaigns against the Ottomans. Before beginning his campaigns in the Middle East. Timur took care to get the blessing of Muslim men of religion.
>>The Turki chronicle Malfuzat-i-Timuri, another putative autobiographical memoir of Timur, translated into Persian by Abu Talib Husaini, illustrates these driving Islamic sentiments, complete with a Koranic quotation:
>>About this time there arose in my heart the desire to lead an expedition against the infidels, and to become a ghazi; for it had reached my ears that the slayer of infidels is a ghazi, and if he is slain he becomes a martyr. It was on this account that I formed this resolution, but I was undetermined in my mind whether I should direct my expedition against the infidels of China or against the infidels and polytheists of India. In this matter I sought an omen from the Qur'an, and the verse I opened upon [Q66:9] was this, "O Prophet, make war upon infidels and unbelievers, and treat them with severity." My great officers told me that the inhabitants of Hindustan were infidels and unbelievers. In obedience to the order of Almighty Allah I ordered an expedition against them.
>>Timur's jihad campaigns against non-Muslims — whether Christians in Asia Minor and Georgia, or Hindus in India — seemed to intensify in brutality. Brown highlightsone particular episode which supports this contention, wherein Timur clearly distinguished between his vanquished Muslim and non-Muslim foes. After rampaging through (Christian) Georgia, where he "devastated the country, destroyed the churches, and slew great numbers of inhabitants,"in the winter of 1399-1400, Timur, in August 1400,
>>…began his march into Asia Minor by way of Avnik, Erzeroum, Erzinjan, and Sivas. The latter place offered a stubborn resistance, and when it finally capitulated Timur caused all the Armenian and Christian soldiers to be buried alive; but the Muhammadans he spared.

>Saudi National Allegedly Connected to the Boston Jihadi Bombings
>I believe there is an al qaeda connection to the Boston jihad bombing. In my piece at Breitbart last week, Saudi National Deportation: American People Must Demand the Full Story, I point to Alharbi' s national security violations being tied to the Boston bombing. Today we have proof. What is Abdul Rahman Alharbi' s role in the bombing? Why the rush to whisk this "terror threat" out of the country? Call your Congressmen and tell them to demand answers from the DoJ and the Obama administration. They don't serve the Saudis; they serve the American people. We have seen the extraordinary lengths that the U.S. Government goes to, sacrificing our own people and our own national security concerns, to placate this Islamic supremacist regime that promotes jihad around the world. The bin Laden family was flown out of the country in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, although it could be argued that they weren't culpable in any way. A Miami Herald exposé Wednesday
shows how we kowtow to the Saudis. And the Saudis are not our friends. -- More skulduggery on the Saudi national. Here's the latest from The Blaze:
>Background points:
>> * A Saudi national originally identified as a "person of interest" in the Boston Marathon bombing was set to be deported under section 212 3B — "Security and related grounds" — "Terrorist activities" after the bombing
>> * As the story gained traction, TheBlaze's Chief Content Officer Joel Cheatwood received word that the government may not deport the Saudi national, originally identified as Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi
>> * Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano refused to answer questions on the subject when confronted by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) on Capitol Hill.
>> * An ICE official said aseparate Saudi national is in custody, but is "in no way" connected to the bombings.
>> * A congressional source, however, says that the file on Alharbi wascreated, that he was "linked" in some way to the Boston bombings (though it is unclear how), and that documents showing all this have been sent to Congress.
>> * Key congressmen of the Committee on Homeland Security request a classified briefing with Napolitano
>> * Fox News' Todd Starnes reports that Alharbi was allegedly flagged on a terrorist watch list and granted a student visa without being properly vetted
>> * New information provided to TheBlaze reveals Alharbi's file was altered early Wednesday evening to disassociate him from the initial charges
>> * Sources say the Saudi's student visa specifically allows him to go to school in Findlay, Ohio, though he appears to have an apartment in Boston, Massachusetts
>> * Sources tell us this will most likely now be kicked from the DHS to the DOJ and labeled an ongoing investigation that can no longer be discussed.Beck proceeded to highlight the background of the Saudi national first identified as a "person of interest" in the Boston bombings, Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, noting that the the NTC issued an event file calling for his deportation using section 212, 3B which is proven terrorist activity. "We are not sure who actually tagged him as a '212 3B,' but we know it is very difficult to charge someone with this — it has to be almost certain," Beck explained. "It is the equivalent in civil society of charging someone with premeditated murder and seeking the death penalty — it is not thrown around lightly." Beck continued, noting that after Secretary of State John Kerry met with Saudi Foreign Minister Saud on Tuesday, the FBI began backtracking on the Saudi national from suspect, to person of
interest, to witness, to victim, to nobody. Then, on Wednesday, President Obama had a "chance" encounter with Saudi Foreign Minister Saud and Saudi Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir. "Wednesday at 5:35 p.m. the file is altered," Beck said. "This is unheard of, this is impossible in the timeline due to the severity of the charge….You don't one day put a 212 3B charge against somebody with deportation, and then the next day take it off. It would require too much to do it." "There are only two people that could revoke the deportation order — the director of the NTC could do it after speaking with each department, the FBI, the ATC, etc. — which is impossible to do in such a short period of time, — or, somebody at the very highest levels of the State Department could do it. We don't have any evidence to tell you which one did it," Beck said. Congressman Duncan is in possession of the original event file along with other members of the
House Homeland Security Committee, and have sent a formal letter of request (which we have a copy of) to Napolitano for a classified briefing on the Saudi national and the deportation order. If, as an ICE official said last week, there is actually a second Saudi in custody, who is it? Beck asked. "Why were there were no names, no pictures presented? The fact is, an event was created for one Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi indicating he was to be deported for terrorism activity related to the Boston bombing. If this file was created with another Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi in mind, don't you think we should know about it?" Beck proceeded with more exclusive information:
>>The Saudi's student visa specifically allows him to go to school in Findley, Ohio. He has been in this country six months.He has an apartment in Boston, Massachusetts.
>>> If this is a case of mistaken identity, then who is the person named in the file, with the same name, with the 3B charge?And If DHS was working with the person as a source to out the bombers, then why was there a 3B Charge?
>>> Exclusive: Why wasn't the Congressional Committee on Homeland Security notified? Why are they being cut out of all information? This is protocol.
>>> We are working on the family connections, and there is more to come.
>>> Sources tell us this will most likely now be kicked from the DHS to the DOJ and labeled an ongoing investigation that can no longer be discussed. This will be the reason Napalitano won't answer the Homeland Security Committee's request for a briefing. Like Benghazi they have heavy into a disinformation campaign floating a variety of scenarios to confuse the media — but that apparently doesn't take much — to prevent the story from being pursued… They are also working very hard to discredit those on the scent.
>>> It is still unclear why the government is stonewalling the media on information as to why the file initially labeled Alharbi as a threat, only to change that designation later in the week. Is there a legitimate threat that's being covered up? Did the government have actual concerns about Alharbi, but was too quick to connect him in this instance and is now trying to stave off embarrassment? Many questions remain. "We demand answers from the Justice Department and this administration." UPDATE:Is Obama Covering Up Saudi Role In Boston Bombings?

>Muslim soldiers used locals as human shields while soldiers set residential quarters on fire. The streets of Baga were strewn with the corpses of dead humans and animals and about 2,000 private houses and several markets were burnt down in fighting, reported local officials when they returned to the town on Sunday.
>>The jihadists found refuge in a ....... mosque. Obama sanctions this group as he has refused to designate Boko Haram a terrorist group despite their savagery and slaughter.
>"Butchery in Nigeria: At least 185 killed as army battles Islamists" RT, April 22, 2013

>Saudi National Questioned in Boston was on Terror Watch List
>The Obama administration has scrubbed counter-terrorism manuals and material of jihad and Islam. How many jihadists are in this country thanks to Obama's immigration policies? Did Alharbi know the Boston bombers? Why the rush to return him to Saudi Arabia?
>"Saudi National Questioned in Boston was on Terror Watch List" Todd Starnes, Fox News (thanks to Andrew Bostom)
>>The Saudi national who was initially detained and then ruled out asa suspect in the Boston Marathon terrorist attack had been flagged on a terror watch list and was granted a student visa without being properly vetted, sources have told me.
>>A source close to the investigation revealed that Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi had been deemed inadmissible under the section of the Immigration and Nationality Act which declares ineligible for a visa –any alien who is engaged in or is likely to engage after entry – in terrorist activity.
>>At least two additional sources have confirmed to me that Ali Alharbi is set to be deported as early as this week, contrary to statements made by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
>>The House Homeland Security Committee is now requesting a classified briefing with Napolitano to get to the bottom of the issue, according to an exclusive report from The Blaze.
>>Napolitano denied anyone was being deported in a heated exchange Thursday with Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) during a House hearing.
>>"I am unaware of anyone who is being deported for national security concerns at all related to Boston," she said. "I don't know where that rumor came from."
>>The Homeland Security chief said the Saudi national was not "technically a person of interest or a suspect, that was a wash."
>>But Duncan questioned the wisdom of deporting someone who was at the scene of a terrorist attack.
>>"Wouldn't you agree with me that it is negligent for us, as an American administration, to deport someone who was reportedly at the scene of the bombing, and we are going to deport him, not to be able to question him anymore, is that not negligent," Duncan asked.
>>Napolitano refused to answer the question.
>>"It is so full of misstatements and misapprehensions, that it is just not worthy of any answer," she replied. "There has been so much reported on this that has been wrong. I can't even begin to tell you, congressman."
>>Last week Steven Emerson, of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, told Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity that Alharbi had been set to be deported "on national security grounds."
>>"You don't arrest their citizens – you deport them," Emerson said regarding the Saudis.
>>An Immigration and Customs Enforcement official told me that it was a case a "Saudi being in the wrong place at the wrong time."
>>The official, with knowledge of the case, said Alharbi's status has changed – but as it now stands – he will be sent back home.
>>"They don't like the negative press," the official said of the Saudis. "The guess is he will probably be allowed to leave without a lot of hype in order to avoid political sensitivities with the Saudis."
>>ICE sources toldThe Blaze that a separate Saudi national was in custody — and that individual was in no way affiliated with the Boston attacks.

>Jihad is in America
>>Exclusive: Pamela Geller warns, 'This obfuscation and denial has to stop'
>The surviving Boston jihadi has caught, and the mainstream media is now turning to the question of Why? The Washington Post ran a story headlined, "Search for why begins." Chicago Tribune had "Boston Marathon bombing investigation turns to motive." The Huffington Post ran as a headline the single word: "Why?"
>>Why, indeed? Why do the media cover up, obfuscate and mislead the American people about the gravest national security threat this nation faces? Why do the enemedia viciously attack anyone who is brave enough to suffer the libel, defamation and death threats that follow speaking out against jihad and Shariah? This is a sickness – a societal death wish and orgy of self-hatred. The furious rush to sanitize the motive is the sanction of the victim. The enemedia are disarming the American people, inevitably leading sheep to slaughter.
>>Worst of all was Elspeth Reeve of the Atlantic Wire, who ran a spiteful story titled, "The U.S. Anti-Muslim Crowd Is Quite Pleased with Itself." As the wounds are still gaping and the baby's body not yet cold, the ghouls on the left attack those of us who have been warning of this very thing.
>>This vicious tool should be thanking me and apologizing for the years of smears, defamation and libel that the enemedia have directed against me, my work and my colleagues. Instead, she aids and abets the most gruesome slaughterers ever on American soil.
>>And there is more enemedia willful blindness from Time: They talk about some of their obvious jihadi ties and then say that there is no evidence that Dzhokhar was motivated by religion – as if the brothers had different motives, and ignoring Dzhokhar's statement that his "worldview" was "Islam."
>>The media's knee-jerk reaction is to go into full spin mode, not to take a step back and think, or to say to themselves, "Maybe we got this wrong."
>>The jihadists told us why. What's it going to take?
>>Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have deeply imbibed the jihad ideology that permeates Chechnya and the Muslim areas of the Russia Caucasus in general. And even the mainstream media can't entirely ignore this: The New York Times reports: "On Vkontakte, Russia's most popular social media platform, the younger brother, Dzhokhar, describes his worldview as 'Islam' and … lists a verse from the Koran, 'Do good, because Allah loves those who do good.'"
>>Apparently targeting, mutilating, and slaughtering women and children falls under the category of "doing good."

>HuffPo Tries to Strongarm Indiegogo into Dropping AFDI Fundraiser
>Now more than ever, help us keep exposing the truth about jihad and Islamic supremacism. If there was ever a time when the American people needed the facts about jihad, it is now. CONTRIBUTE TO THIS CAMPAIGN HERE! Nathan Lean is at it again, this time in the Puff Ho. Lapdog Lean is a real bottom feeder, a dull-witted and violent-minded enemy of freedom who has threatened RobertSpencer repeatedly, has been arrested for shouting obscenities at a city council meeting, has called on hackers to destroy Jihad Watch, and gets a platform in mainstream media outlets including the Los Angeles Times and New York Daily Newsto call for restrictions on our freedom of speech. Now he is trying to intimidate Indiegogo into shutting down our AFDI fundraiser. The core element of his case is that our ad campaigns constitute "hate," and Indiegogo' s guidelines prohibit their allowing fundraising for hate. So Lean is trying to convince them that fighting against Islamic
Jew-hatred, gender apartheid, creed apartheid, and slavery is "hate." Considering that Lean is the Editor-In-Chief of Aslan Media, which is run by Reza Aslan, and that Aslan is a Board member of a front group for the Islamic Republic of Iran, it's easy to see why Lean would see opposition to jihad and Islamic supremacism as "hate."
>Crowdfunding Hate: Indiegogo Profits From Anti-Muslim Campaign by Nathan Lean, Huffington Post, April 15
>Indiegogo may sound like the name of a 1970s funk band, but it's actually one of the fastest growing crowd-funding sites on the Internet. Founded in 2002 by a former Wall Street analyst, the funding platform allows inspired individuals to grow projects or personal campaigns by pooling money from donors. If you desire, you can drop a few bucks to help a startup bakery. You could also help finance new stables at a therapeutic horse ranch or sponsor an orphanage in Haiti.
>>Everything is fair game, as long as you play by the rules. And the rules are clear: User terms stipulate that you can't promote hate.
>>Strange, then, that among those partaking in Indiegogo' s services is the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), an organization classified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group. They are using the platform to raise money -- and lots of it -- to put out another batch of their now-infamous anti-Muslim metro and bus ads. Led by bloggers Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, AFDI has come under fire in recent months for waging a culture war in subway stops with ad campaigns that single out Muslims and the religion of Islam and conflate them with the actions of a fraction of extremists.
>>Spencer and I responded to that Big Lie in a piece we cowrote for the San Francisco Examiner: "Central to Nathan Lean's claim that our American Freedom Defense Initiative ads spread 'hate' is his charge that the ads 'suggest collective guilt on the part of the world's 1.6 billion Muslims for acts of terrorism.&# 39; Yet nowhere do our ads suggest any such thing. Instead, they highlight real hatred and incitement to violence from influential Muslim leaders and spokesmen. Muslims and non-Muslims who abhor and oppose that hatred and incitement should be standing with us, not condemning us."
>The latest placards, which to date have raised $22K of a $50K goal, urge the cessation of aid to "Islamic countries" and feature a fierce quotation sprawled across a Palestinian flag which reads, "It' s Saturday, so massacre the Jews; on Sunday massacre the Christians." The obvious missing group -- the world's 1.5 billion Muslims -- is thought to be doing the massacring. "Our dead in the cause of Islam have taught us plenty," the description on the group's Indiegogo campaign page reads. "Over 20,000 jihad attacks around the world since 9/11, each with the imprimatur of a Muslim cleric, have taught us all we need to know."
>>Here again, nowehere does the ad say that "the world's 1.5 billion Muslims" are the ones who are "doing the massacring." Lean is just making that up.
>It's that type of language that caused the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to rejectthe application of Geller and Spencer' s group, Stop the Islamization of America (SIOA). It's also that type of language that the Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik digested in the summer of 2011 before he went on a shooting rampage and killed 77 youths. Breivik citedGeller and Spencer dozens of times as informing his views on Muslims and Islam. Recently, several organizations have canceled the duos speeches, including the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC), a Massachusetts Diocese and a New York synagogue.
>>Re the USPTO: they rejected SIOA's trademark because it found it "disparaging&q uot; to Muslims. We are appealing, arguing that no law-abiding Muslim could possibly be disparaged by a trademark that reflected our goal to "stop" the Muslim Brotherhood&# 39;s civilization jihad, which is what we proved that "Islamization& quot; means. More here. As for Breivik, he himself has explained that he was actually inspired by al-Qaeda. Lean and his accomplices routinely lie about who really inspired the mad monster, exploiting him to try to destroy all opposition to the jihad. How ironic that it is jihad that was his inspiration and teacher. And regarding the cancellations, Lean holds up prior occasions when he and his friends have succeeded in smearing and defaming us to the point that frightened venues drop us as if they were strikes against us, when actually they're only signs of his own fascism and opposition to the freedom of speech.
>Erica Labovitz, Director of Strategic Programs at Indiegogo commented in an email exchange that, "The views reflected by the campaign owners are not necessarily those of Indiegogo." That may well be the case. But it does little to explain how a campaign that singles out the followers of an entire religious faith with incendiary associations and stereotypes does not violate the company' s "no hate" policy. Would an antagonistic ad campaign directed at Jews or Catholics receive a pass too? What does Indiegogo classify as hate?
>>Unfortunate ly for Lean, they don't classify truth or freedom fighting as "hate." When this campaign of smears and intimidation began against Indiegogo, wrote to them asking them to stand firm and got back this note: "Thank you for your note. Indiegogo is an open platform that allows anyone, anywhere to raise money. We have checks in place to prevent fraud, and have language in our Terms of Service to protect contributions. We appreciate that you took the time to share this and will be in touch if we have any questions."
>Several activists have reached out to Indiegogo with little success. In an essay at Salon, Chris Stedman, an interfaith leader, assistant chaplain at Harvard, and author of the memoir "Faitheist, " urged the company to reconsider its support for provocative AFDI ads that pitted Muslims and gays against each other. Emails sent through the company' s website were unanswered as were tweets to company execs. Geller and Spencer' s followers, however, were more vulgar. Dozens of them bombarded Stedman with homophobic insults and slurs, while also leveling derogatory attacks at Muslims. The reaction underscored precisely the nasty consequences of AFDI's program to cleave society into warring factions.
>>Stedman is one of the leading "Chickens for Colonel Sanders," aka Gays for sharia. Breitbart slams 'em here, as do I here at The Thinker, and Spencer KO's Stedman here. Lean ends up by claiming that we "should be afforded" the right to free speech -- all the while trying to shut us down and shut us up. But he does include contacts for Indiegogo. Use them to call, politely and calmly, for them to stand firm against this thuggery and intimidation, and to keep the AFDI fundraiser up:
>Also troubling is that not only does Indiegogo offer its fundraising services to AFDI's minority-bashing crusaders, but it also gives them a discount. As a non-profit organization, AFDI is entitled to a 25 percent reduction in platform fees. Beyond that, Indiegogo is profiting from anti-Muslim hate. The company charges a 9 percent fee on funds raised. If the group reaches their goal, Indiegogo gives 5 percent back, leaving them with a profit of 4 percent. That may not sound like a lot, but it's a cool couple of grand to pocket from prejudicing a minority population. AFDI should be afforded their rights to free speech, but that doesn't mean that organizations like Indiegogo are obligated to host these campaigns. Enabling divisive and hurtful rhetoric against Muslims or any community is something that they can and should refuse to do. Indiegogo has an opportunity to be a force for good in the world, empowering those who desire to bring about positive
change with the means to realizing their goals. The vilest of hate groups should not be among them -- even if there is a profit involved.

Bhorer Kagaj report was different to some extent and showed Rana as having received favor from BNP. I am well aware of study by Dr. Barakat of DU according to which land grabbed by AL- and BNP supporters is almost half-and-half.
We will have hopefully more facts about Rana and his property. My point was you are not as much vocal against Hefajat-Jamat deeds as against AL. Saying that you do not support ciminal acts is not enough. Proposal to curtail the freedom of women or declaring Ahamdeyaas as non-Muslims can have different reactions from different people. You need to be more specific about Hefajat-Jamat as you are so about AL.
Take the demands by Hefajat one at a time and give your comment on the same. This can be a good acid test.

I don't know if Mr. Rahman sees himself as an Islamist or not, but by now it has been well established that he is always desperate to glorify and defend Islam; he does not let any such opportunity to do so to go in vain. Love for Islam should not be translated to defending criminal acts committed by the Jihadists or being silent or indifferent when such crimes are committed. It is true that Mr. Rahman does not defend criminal acts, rather he is against such acts. But this is not enough.
>>> >>> >> Kindly re-read your post again. It looks like you aanswered your own questions.
Let me ask you if I do not support criminals, why it is NOT enough?
I only explain what "Authentic Islam" teaches us. I leave readers alone to accept it or reject it. This is probably the best way to share your religion to remove misunderstanding. Since this forum is full of distortions about Islam.
He is very prompt in picking an unfounded news item to emphasize that the criminals involved in recent Savar building collapse are all from AL (his favorite acronym BAL).

সত্য কথা বললে এবার আমাকে পৃথিবীছাড়া হতে হবে* রানার দখলবাজির শিকার রবীন্দ্রনাথ সরকার
* তাঁর জায়গায়ই গড়ে তোলা হয় রানা প্লাজা অমিতোষ পাল, সাভার থেকে'ওরা যখন আমার জায়গা দখল করে তখন প্রতিবাদ করেছিলাম। আর সেটা করতে গিয়ে আমাকে সাভারছাড়া হতে হয়েছিল। সাত মাস সাভারে আসতে পারিনি। ঢাকায় হোটেলে বা আত্মীয়স্বজনের বাসায় বাসায় থাকতে হয়েছে
কথাগুলো বলছিলেন রবীন্দ্রনাথ সরকার। তাঁর জায়গা দখল করেই বহুতল 'রানা প্লাজা' গড়ে তোলেন সাভার পৌর যুবলীগের যুগ্ম আহ্বায়ক ও সাভার পৌর ছাত্রলীগের সাবেক সাধারণ সম্পাদক সোহেল রানা। রানা প্লাজার ধ্বংসস্তূপের পাশেই (খসরুবাগান, ৩৯বি মজিদপুর) রবীন্দ্রনাথের ব্যবসাপ্রতিষ্ঠান এস এস সরকার ব্রাদার্স। গতকাল শনিবার দুপুরে সেখানে তাঁর সঙ্গে কথা হয় এ প্রতিবেদকের। কথা বলার সময়
তাঁর চোখেমুখে ছিল আতঙ্কের ছাপ। কোনো কথাই তিনি বলতে চাচ্ছিলেন না। দখল ও সোহেল রানার প্রসঙ্গ তুললেই তিনি এড়িয়ে যাচ্ছিলেন।
এক পর্যায়ে রবীন্দ্রনাথ বলতে থাকেন, 'সাংবাদিক দাদা, আপনিও হিন্দু মানুষ। আমিও হিন্দু মানুষ। আপনি আমার আর কোনো ক্ষতি করবেন না। আপনি তো জানেন, এই দেশে হিন্দুদের কিভাবে বেঁচে থাকতে হয়। রানা প্লাজা ধসে আমার বাড়ি ও ব্যবসাপ্রতিষ্ঠানের ওপর এসে পড়ে। আমার চারজন স্টাফ ও তিনজন কাজের লোক মারা গেছে। দুর্ঘটনার পর আমার বাড়ির মালামাল লুট হয়ে গেছে। নিজের বাড়িতেই এখন আমি ঢুকতে পারছি
না। উদ্ধারকারীরা আমার বাড়ি সিল করে রেখেছে। আমার পরিবারের লোকজন বিভিন্ন জায়গায় আত্মীয়স্বজনের বাড়িতে থাকছে।'
এখনো বাংলাদেশটা মগের মুল্লুক হয়ে যায়নি। সোহেল রানাই তো আজ পলাতক। তাকেই তো পুলিশ খুঁজছে- এ কথার পরিপ্রেক্ষিতে রবীন্দ্রনাথ বলেন, 'ও এখন পলাতক থাকলেও দেখা যাবে, কিছু দিন পরই বেরিয়ে এসেছে। তখন আপনারা থাকবেন না। আপনাদের সমস্যাও হবে না। সমস্যা হবে আমার।'
এভাবে কথা বলতে বলতে এক পর্যায়ে তিনি বলেন, '১৯৮৯ সালে বাসস্টান্ডসংলগ্ন ছোট বলিমেহের মৌজার ১৫, ১৬, ১৭ ও ২৩ নম্বর দাগের ১২৬ শতাংশ জমি কিনি। জমির মালিক ছিলেন গণফোরাম নেতা মোস্তফা মহসীন মন্টু, তাঁর ভাই ও ভাইয়ের স্ত্রী। এসব দাগের কিছু অংশের জমি কিনে সোহেল রানার বাবা আবদুল খালেক। আমার জমি মাপজোক করে সীমানাপ্রাচীর দিয়ে ঘিরে দেই। ২০০১ সালের দিকে আবদুল খালেকের ছেলে সোহেল
রানা আমার সীমানা প্রাচীর ভেঙে ২৭ শতাংশ জমি দখল করে নেয়। ওই ঘটনায় একটা মামলা করি। ওর বাবা তখন বিএনপি করতেন। এর পরই আমাকে সাভারছাড়া হতে হয়। ছয়-সাত মাস বিভিন্ন জায়গায় কাটাতে হয়েছে। সাভারে আসতে পারিনি। ঢাকায় হোটেলে হোটেলে কাটাতে হয়েছে। আত্মীয়স্বজনের বাসায় থাকতে হয়েছে। ওই সময়ে ব্যবসার চরম ক্ষতি হয়েছে। স্থানীয় বিভিন্ন ব্যক্তিকে ধরে সাভারে ফিরি। কিন্তু দখল হওয়া
জায়গাটা ছেড়ে দিতে বাধ্য হই। আমার ঘটনা সাভারে এমন কোনো লোক নেই যে জানে না। যে কাউকে জিজ্ঞাসা করলেই পেয়ে যাবেন। আমার কাছে শুনতে হবে না।'
রবীন্দ্রনাথ সরকার বলেন, 'পরে ওই জায়গায় ভবন নির্মাণ শুরু হয়; দেখলাম ভবনের নির্মাণকাজ খুবই খারাপ। এ ব্যাপারে সাভার পৌরসভা ও রাজধানী উন্নয়ন কর্তৃপক্ষের (রাজউক) কাছে অভিযোগ করেছিলাম। রাজউকের লোক এসে দুদিন কাজ বন্ধ রেখেছিল। পরে দেখি, আবার কাজ শুরু হয়ে গেছে। ওর (রানা) সামনে বড় বড় নেতারাও পাত্তা পায় না। রাজউক তো দূরের কথা।'
রবীন্দ্রনাথ বলেন, 'আমার বাড়ির ওপর রানা প্লাজা ধসে পড়ায় আমার বাড়িও মারাত্মকভাবে ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত হয়। দ্রুত বাড়ি থেকে বেরিয়ে পড়ি। পাশেই আমার ব্যবসাপ্রতিষ্ঠান। সেটাও ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত হয়েছে। গুদামের মালামালও নষ্ট হয়ে গেছে। আমার বসতবাড়িতেও ফাটল ধরেছে। ওটাতে আর বসবাস করা যাবে না। দুর্ঘটনার পর বাড়িতে গিয়ে দেখি, সব মালামাল লুট হয়ে গেছে।'

Rana at RAB headquarters
Rana brought to Dhaka after arrestAlso
Rana, a Senior Joint Convenor of the Awami League's youth front Juba League's Savar municipality unit, has been on the run since the collapse.
I generally stay away from directly commenting on politics. However I took this event as a national disaster and shared some information. Still if you look around there are pretty compelling pictures of Rana and savar BAL MP kissing (Published at Prothom Alo front page) and many more interesting picture.
I have no intention of speaking against any political patry but only commented on a leading news. I felt it is you who probably a "Blind supporter of BAL" and wanted to defend some criminals by attacking me personally in this forum. It seems you are not aware of situation in Bangladesh but eager to comment on it.
Please spend some time on the topic, before you form an opinion. This is the FAIR way of dealing with anything we discuss here.
Also I have explained the BAL issue. It stands of Bangladesh Awami League (There are awami league in Pakistan as well, it is an Urdu word). Same way I describe BNP. Which stands for Bangladesh Nationalist party.
If you smell something wrong in it, I am afraid it is in "Your head".
I sincerelyhope, you will read this in the right spirit and will not resort to personal attacks.
Shalom!

There are reasons for one to become speechless after he watches the 5-year-old kids having arms training for Jihad. I tried to open some of the links given without success. I am sure all of them are not unfounded. But it is also true that the Islamophobic captionIS ISLAM THE RELIGION OF PEACE? is misleading and neither proves nor disproves the assertion that that Islam is not a religion of peace the reason being that the said caption is based on only a tiny fraction of all news items related to aspirations of the Muslims worldwide.
Having said this, I should also say that Mr. Rahman's overreaction is unnecessary. I don't know if Mr. Rahman sees himself as an Islamist or not, but by now it has been well established that he is always desperate to glorify and defend Islam; he does not let any such opportunity to do so to go in vain. Love for Islam should not be translated to defending criminal acts committed by the Jihadists or being silent or indifferent when such crimes are committed.

He is very prompt in picking an unfounded news item to emphasize that the criminals involved in recent Savar building collapse are all from AL (his favorite acronym BAL). He did not care to verify the news against any other sources. But he seems to be soft on Jamaat or Hefajat-e-Islam I don't know whether he realizes that by not criticizing the demands of Hefajat-e-Islam, he is
rather undermining Islam. The bottom line is that the way he upholds the teachings of Islam is not consistent.

I am speechless by seeing the 'plight of the advancement of the mankind' having minor/future generation trained in such a manner.
Don't you think that they should have toys,games, books etc.in their hands at this stage of lives instead of rifles as you and I had?
You are 100% right that "TRUTH( the pictures here weren't depicted, hence they aren't fiction and picdon't fool anyone) is more powerful than fiction" . I truly feel pity for the kidsand that's why I said in my post -Please see for yourselves.

I am speechless too. I am just sad that, anyone from our country will fall for Pam Geller Production.
Seeking authentic information from that source is like asking a Nazi to praise a Jewish person!!

>Canadian Muslims Plot to Bomb Passenger Train over the Niagara River and send it flying
>The 2:30 p.m. background briefing, attended by several prominent Muslim community leaders, was to be followed by a news conference near Toronto's Pearson airport. In recent years, police have made a point of briefing community leaders before announcing terror arrests.
>>The arrests come at a time of heightened public concern over terrorism following the bombings in Boston as well as recent revelations over the involvement of radicalized Canadian youths in overseas terrorist groups (more at The Natinal Post here)
>>Muslim leader and law enforcement? What is wrong with this picture? Why isn't law enforcement imposing jihad sensitivity training upon these "Muslim leaders" ? Why aren't these Muslim leaders calling for the removal of jihadic doctrine from Islam? Why aren't these Muslim leaders condemning the Islamic texts and teachings that command jihad? What were these Muslims doing there -- enforcing sharia language of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police? These jihadists had intended to blow up the train over Niagara Falls and send it crashing down into the Falls. The evil and savagery of jihadists is unimaginable. The objective was to drop the train into the Niagara River as it crossed from Canada to USA over the bridge.

>Syria: Metropolitans Boulos Yazigi and Mor Youhanna Ibrahim Kidnapped Outside Aleppo, Driver Murdered
>I have warned since the jihadists began agitating in Syria that there will be a genocide of Christians and Alawites of unimaginable proportions should Assad lose control. Two Metropolitans were kidnapped, their driver murdered in Syria. A Metroplitan is the head of an ecclesiastical province, ranking between archbishop and patriarch. Obama is backing and arming the jihadists in Syria. Once again, Obama backs the Islamic supremacist horse -- every time. He is consistent in this.
>Metropolitans Boulos Yazigi and Mor Youhanna Ibrahim Kidnapped Outside Aleppo by OCP on April 23, 2013 (thanks to Maksim)
>>Metropolita n Paul (Yazigi) of Aleppo
>>Metropolita n Mor Yohanna Ibrahim
>>Armed men have kidnapped the Greek Orthodox Metropolitan of Aleppo and Iskanderun, Metropolitan Boulos Yazigi and the Syriac Orthodox Metropolitan of Aleppo, Metropolitan Youhanna Ibrahm near the city of Aleppo. An-Nahar has learned that the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate, which recieved news of the kidnapping of the two metropolitans this evening, will not issue any statement before tomorrow, pending their receiving complete and precise information about the kidnapping. According to details relayed to an-Nahar by specific sources, Metropolitan Yazigi was on the Turkish side of his archdiocese, which extends from Aleppo to Antakya and Metropolitan Ibrahim and gone to accompany him. Along the road on their return to Aleppo, an armed group stopped them before they could arrive to the city, killing Ibrahim's driver and kidnapping the two metropolitans.

>Setting Off A Nail Bomb Isn't Basim Usmani's Favorite Boston Marathon Activity
>I get a lot of abuse and vilification in this work, but this is a particularly vile example. This is an interview I did with a Muslim musician and writer named Basim Usmani, who wanted to talk to me about pop music from the 80s. The interview part is all right, but his prefatory paragraphs are among the most vicious I've ever seen. And if you think my headline above is outrageous, it's patterned exactly after Usmani's headline: "'Killing an Arab' Isn't Pamela Geller's Favorite Song by the Cure," by Basim Usmani, Vice.com, April 21, 2013
>An interview with Pamela Geller would seem like it would be pretty straightforward. Not too many people know who she is, but amongst those who do, she is either dismissed for being dim, or found generally repulsive for her vociferous opposition to what she claims is the rapid Islamization of America. For "lone wolf" white gunmen, like Andrew Brevik, the Norwegian citizen who opened fire on a multi-cultural summer camp, she's viewed as the kind of American white vigilante that D.W. Griffith might have imagined.
>>Notice how Usmani frames the struggle for freedom against Sharia oppression solely in racial terms. In Egypt, protesters have been taking to the streets to fight against the Islamization of that country. Huge numbers of people there don't want to see Sharia in Egypt. Does Basim Usmani think they're all "dim" or "repulsive&quo t; racist "Islamophobes& quot;? And while getting Anders Breivik' s name wrong, he makes the far more serious (and ideologically motivated) error of thinking I was some kind of heroine to him. This shows the power of enemedia propaganda. Usmani has heard me associated with Breivik so often, he probably doesn't realize that Breivik actually mentioned me only once, and that in connection with a news story I had posted here at Atlas. He also referenced CNN, the NY Times, and other news outlets, not to mention Barack Obama, John F. Kennedy, Charles Darwin, Thomas Jefferson, and a host of other people. Usmani wouldn't dream of holding them
responsible for this madman's murders.
>Her blog, Atlas Shrugs, is predictable. The bulk of my correspondence with Pamela happened before the Boston Marathon Bombings, but even after a national tragedy, her opinions remained stagnant. She stops shy of calling President Obama an Al Qaeda member. In a recent polemic, Geller described Obama's handling of the Boston Marathon bombing, writing that the United States government is an "Islamic supremacist regime that promotes jihad around the world."There's another thing Usmani says I don't do: call Obama an Al Qaeda bomber. First "Killing Arabs" wasn't my favorite song, and now this. I never mentioned that Cure song, he did. It seems as if Usmani had an idea of what I was like in his mind, and when I didn't turn out to be that way, he did his best to make me fit his narrative anyway. And I actually wrote that the Saudi regime, not the U.S. government, was an "Islamic supremacist regime that promotes jihad around the world." Did Vice.com
lay off all its fact-checkers?
>She has currently crowd-sourced $20,000 of her $50,000 goal for her next anti-Sharia poster campaign on indiegogo. It's the follow-up to her controversial anti-Sharia campaign that placed large posters and advertisements on the sides of city busses and inside subways in New York, San Francisco, and Chicago.
>>She's perpetually on the road, giving talks, and promoting her book, Freedom or Submission: On the dangers of Islamic Extremism & American Complacency. She sells a product wrapped in our fears; her business is instilling a victim-complex into White America by drumming up paranoia about "Islamic Supremacy" and "creeping Sharia." She remains an abundant source of real fear for brown folk living in New York, who still haven't gotten over the prospect of being hurtled into oncoming-trains.
>>Usmani is referring to a madwoman who pushed a Hindu onto the path of a train because, she said, she was angry at Muslims over 9/11. Leftists and Islamic supremacists tried to blame me for this, although there was absolutely no evidence that this woman ever heard of me or my work. Nor do Usmani or those who blamed me earlier ever mentionthe Muslim who pushed an Infidel onto the tracks the week before the madwoman committed her crime. It is much more likely that she was influenced by him than by me.
>Most recently the hashtag #indienono has been tweeted to protest her"Anti-Sharia" campaign. Her posters are being likened to hate-speech. Her advertisements on buses came under fire by both the Mayor of San Francisco and the same SF Transit company that agreed to run them in the first place.
>>I've long suspected there would be some grand-reveal -- that she's really some kind of Jerry Lawler-style Performance artist, just cashing in on being incendiary. What I found was very surprising.
>>After doing time at the New York Daily News and New York Observer, Gellar [sic] spent a portion of the 90s living as a wealthy housewife in Long Island. Which may be three most incredulous [he means "incredible&qu ot;; get a dictionary, Usmani -- Atlas] things about her. She found her calling nearly nine years after 9/11, when her campaign against the Park 51 Islamic Community Center rebranded it permanently as the Ground Zero Mosque. She has been hoisted up to the top of the post-9/11 alarmist human pyramid of talking heads, "Christian Rights Activists,"and disenfranchised whites living around Europe and the United States.
>>It was at Ground Zero, slated to take the place of a building that was extensively damaged in the 9/11 attacks, and so was part of Ground Zero. It was a mosque, as that is still all that is happening in the Burlington Coat Factory building: Muslim prayers. And we defeated it. And it's bitterly ironic for him to be talking after the Boston jihad bombings about my stirring up "fear" and "alarmism. " And here again is more proof of Usmani's non-existent research skills. I did not find my calling nine years after 9/11. That may be when Usmani became aware of me, but I have been blogging/writing and activating, every day, day in and day out, since February 2005, after spending three years studying the jihadic doctrine.
>She wrote about my band, the Kominas, in 2009 with the headline "Sharia Law in the USA - Everybody dance now, no wait."
>>Her editorial remarks were scant. They amounted to single-line captions between pictures. I remember one reading, "lock up your kids."
>>I figured I'd try to get in contact with her between her speaking gigs to talk about music because she's commented on it in the past and about the "rapid Islamification" these United States, because fighting that seems to be her calling in life. The following exchange took place email during the past 10 days.
>>VICE: You've blogged about loving the Cure, what's your favorite album and why? They're one of my favorite bands. How'd you get into them?
>>Pamela Geller: My Cure fave is "Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me." I was very into punk rock. I loved the return of bare bones rock 'n' roll --crazy for the Ramones, Broooce, Patti Smith, et al so it was natural that would lead me to the second British invasion of the Smiths, the Cure, the Clash.
>>The Smiths was always on - the soundtrack of my angst. And I loved Elvis Costello. All of it - his attempts at country and classical. Just brilliant.
>>Is your favorite Cure song "Killing an Arab"?
>>I think my favorite is "Friday I'm in love".
>>Do you think the public is too mean to Robert Smith for gaining so much weight?
>>I think the public is vicious (and shallow). I mean, really. It's not like we loved him for his beauty and his bod. We loved his pain. His weight is a manifestation of the pain. But he enjoys himself despite of himself.
>>The Cure or Depeche Mode? I always thought Depeche Mode were wusses.
>>You can't even use Depeche and the Cure in the same sentence. Depeche was like cheap candy -- new wave light.
>>For me, the best album the Cure ever put out was the "live" album, mostly due to that moment in the beginning of "Edge of the deep green sea", where you're capsized into an ocean of guitar feedback. Have you ever seen them live?
>>I never saw them live :(
>>What Smiths song do you think sums up your personality?
>>Some girls are bigger than others
>>Bauhaus or Joy Division. From your music taste it seems like they'd fit right in.
>>I don't shut them off but they are not on my play list
>>What&# 39;s your favorite Elvis Costello song, I know its hard to say, but what's a song that has never stopped speaking to you?
>>Hmmmm, "The Other End of the Telescope." Honorable mentions: "High Infidelity," and "Shipbuilding."
>>Say I'm new to Elvis Costello, what album should I start with? I know he's done country-classical music.
>>Start with his first album My Aim is True It's bloody fantastic.
>>Any newer rappers that you like?
>>No
>>You recently posted about how indiegogo stood behind your right to fund-raise when you were accused of promoting racial-hatred. Can you explain Indiegogo's position, regarding their support for you?
>>I published their email. It said they allow anyone to fundraise. I appreciate their non-political stance in this age when everything is politicized.
>>Critics of yours allege that the spike in attacks on Muslim and Sikh Americans in 2012 was related to public figures such as yourself equating Muslims to savages. What would you say to them?
>>I would say that they were perpetrating an outrageous libel designed to discredit my work for freedom. I have never advocated any kind of violence. Sikhs stood with us at our rally at Ground Zero on 9/11/2011. The ad did not equate Muslims with savages, as you probably know. It equated the jihadis who kill innocent civilians in Israel, and those who celebrate those killings, with savages. Muslims who reject that savagery should be standing with me.
>>Do you think the large Muslim communities in cities like New York, Chicago, SF, Houston or Boston can be a force behind savagery, ie the Islamization of the USA?
>>Some people there are, some aren't. Certainly there are mosque leaders in those cities with ties to Muslim Brotherhood- linked groups.
>>Your most recent book is about the Islamization of the USA, what are some examples of the Islamization of America that pop out at you?
>>The Justice Department forcing the Berkeley School District to pay $75,000 to Safoorah Khan because she demanded three weeks vacation during her first year of teaching to go on the hajj [pilgrimage to Mecca]. The $25,000 that the DOJ forced Essex County, NJ to pay to Yvette Beshier for denying her request to wear a hijab on the job, which they did for safety reasons. The general fear in the mainstream media to say or do anything remotely critical of jihad or Islamic supremacism.
>>Can a secular state or country be home to a Muslim community without the threat of Islamization looming?
>>That has never before happened in history.
>>Do you think critics of the NYPD's surveillance of Muslim communities are ungrateful?
>>Ungrateful for what? Bloomberg, who is a great friend of the Muslim community, strongly defended the legality of this program. An investigation found it had broken no laws. So what was overly invasive about it?
>>Besides 9/11, is there a personal anecdote to share that led to you embarking on advocating against Sharia in the USA?
>>I always took my freedom for granted. It never occurred to me that it could be taken away. When I realized that, I knew I had to fight for it, because no one else was going to do it for me.
>>Don't you think the Muslim world's hatred of Obama should quell fears that he may be a secret-Muslim?
>>No. He has aided the advance of Islamic supremacism and Sharia all across North Africa. I don't know or care what his religion is. The problem him is his pro-Sharia foreign policy.
>>Do you support Obama's use of drones and is he doing enough to protect America?
>>I am in favor of any lawful resistance to the jihad. Obama has done nothing to protect America against Islamization. He had Osama and Awlaki killed but aids those who advance their goal (Sharia over the West) by different, non-violent means.
>>Could you maybe review, if only in a few words per track, some of my band's songs?
>>
>>Love the rockabilly groove on "No one is gonna honor kill my baby" but as for the lyirics, really?
>>Yes it's clearly satirical.
>>Satirical? About gender apartheid, creed apartheid, honor killings, persecution of religious minorities, mass murder? I wouldn't be so sure that many didn't take you literally—especially in Pakistan. There is a jihad punk movement (MEMRI etc) that spreads violent jihad.
>>Perhaps I was a bit too tongue-in-cheek in that 4-year-old post but I think you are doing your music and your talent a disservice. It's like joking about the ovens. Something's just ain't funny.
>>What about the other tracks I sent you, like "Doomsday," or "Tahrir Square Dance"?
>>It&# 39;s catchy. Amateurish but that gives it an edge. "Tahrir Square Dance" was danceable. I liked it, second to "Honor Baby."
>>What are the chances we could do a sit-down interview in New York somewhere? One good thing about having a sizable Muslim community in NY is the availability of delicious lamb, goat, and beef dishes.
>>As for sit-downs, my time is too crunchy. I conduct all interviews this way (I gave you more time than most everyone). Between the blog, my columns, the activism, social media, ads, creative, talks, travel, my life and family, I have no time. I barely sleep. Maybe when things cool off a bit.
>>Until then.
>>It bears noting that Basim repeatedly sent me his "music" to review. It's terrible, wannabe trash. At first I did not respond, so as not to have to lie, but he just kept on -- wanting my opinion so badly. It stunk. I was more than polite in my reponse. The fact that he plays this garbage in Pakistan -- songs about honor killings -- is particularly rich.

>Tamerlan? What's in a name?
>According to Andy Bostom, plenty:
>"Tamerlan(e)" Tsarnaev and Killing From Koranic Piety
>>However, in the end, there was even a more basic, profound warning sign of the Tsarnaev family's dangerous Weltanschauung—the very name Anzor and Zubeidat Tsarnaev chose for their eldest son: Tamerlan(e).
>>The cover art for my recent book "Sharia Versus Freedom—The Legacy of Islamic Totalitarianism,"reproduces a miniature painting from a sixteenth century manuscript of the Zafarnama by Sharaf al-Din Ali-Yazdi. The image was housed in the British Library and originally published/produced in Shiraz, Iran, 1552. It depicts soldiers filing before the Islamized Mongol conqueror Amir Timur-i-lang, or "Tamerlane," holding heads of their decapitated enemies which they used to build a tower shaped like the minaret of a mosque, in Baghdad (1401).
>>The upper inscription embedded within the painting reads,
>>How fate and destiny have cast awe in the minds of the "Tavaajis"! [king's messengers, and herein, more generally, "traitors"]
>>In an orderly and numerical fashion,
>>They made minarets with the heads of the wretched "Tavaajis"
>>As a lesson to the inhabitants of the world.
>>While the lower embedded inscription states,
>>So that no subordinate would dare to challenge superiors and no fox acts like a lion, and threatens the kings; Under the temptation of the demon pride
>>Yazdi's Zafarnamaremains the best-known example of early Persian historiography of Tamerlane. John Woods 1988 review of this genre of "Timurid"biographical writings emphasizes the rapid, widespread praise Yazdi's manuscript achieved, its source as an inspiration for artistic renditions of the themes described, and its subsequent translation into both French and English, which disseminated the contents well beyond Persian-speaking Muslim lands:
>>Immediately after its composition, the work was widely acclaimed as a model of elegance and style for historical writing in Iran, Central Asia, and India, and its themes frequently provided inspiration for the art of manuscript illumination in those regions. Its translation into French and English in the early eighteenth/ twelfth century, moreover, guaranteed its reputation as the most important source of information about Timur outside the persophone Islamic world.
>>A French translation of Yazdi's Zafarnama by de la Croix was published in Paris in 1722, and this version was translated into English by J. Darby the next year. Darby's 1723 translationcharacte rizes the events surrounding Tamerlane's summer 1401 capture of Baghdad—seized from the officers of sultan Ahmed Jelair, the latter having fled (once again), seeking refuge under the Mamelukes —as follows:
>>As there had been several Tartar soldiers slain in the general assault, each soldier was ordered to bring one head of the men of Baghdad; which they accordingly did, and spared neither old men of fourscore, nor children of eight years of age. No quarter was given either to rich or poor; no one could count them up…Towers were made of these heads, to serve as an example to posterity. Some learned men found means to cast themselves at the feet of the emperor, who granted them pardon and quarter, and even gave them vests and horses, with convoy to conduct them to what place of security they desired: all the rest of the inhabitants were exterminated. Afterwards Timur gave orders that there should not remain one single house in the city unrazed; but that the mosques, colleges, and hospitals should be spared. Accordingly they ruined the markets, caravanserais, hermitages, cells, monasteries, palaces, and other edifices. Thus says the Alcoran [Qur'an],
"The houses of the impious are overthrown by the order of God." [perhaps referring to Qur'an 59:2]. After the Tigris was grown red with the blood of the inhabitants of Baghdad, and the air began to be infected by the dead bodies, Timur decamped from that city…
>>Darby's translation also includesthe following note which refers to the Arabic writer Ahmad ibn Arabshah's harshly critical contemporary biography of Timur, "Marvels of Destiny in the History of Timur" (Ajaibul-Maqdur fi akhbari Timur):
>>Arabshah says two [i.e., decapitated heads per soldier were to be presented to Timur, or his officers]; and that there were 90,000 inhabitants of Baghdad slain in cold blood. They flung away the bodies, and made trophies of the heads piled together. There were one hundred and twenty towers made of the heads for trophies.
>>Three modern summary historical accounts of Tamerlane's 1401 ravages in Baghdad by E.G. Browne, Rene Grousset, and Jean Aubin, are quite uniform with regard to the salient details. Browne's summary, first published in 1920, maintains
>>Timur next turned his attention to Baghdad, the capital of the recalcitrant Sultan Ahmad Jalair [Ahmed Jelair], and, having taken it, made on June 20, 1401, a great massacre, in revenge for the many notable officers of his army who had perished in the siege. Each soldier was ordered to bring a head [Browne includes a note here, that states"According to Ibn Arabshah the number of Timur's soldiers on this occasion was 20,000, and each was ordered to bring two heads."], and in the words of Sharafuddin Ali Yazdi, "the market of retribution became so brisk that the broker of death sold at one price the old man of eighty and the child of eight, while the oven of wrath was so enkindled that it consumed in like manner the corporeal vestiture of the wealthy plutocrat and the wretched pauper." Having left Baghdad a smoking charnel house, Timur again turned his attention to the unfortunate Georgians…
>>Grousset's assessment, originally published in 1939, described the ravages of Timur's army once Baghdad had fallen, thusly:
>>The defenders had fought with the energy of despair, and Tamerlane's vengeance was merciless. Whereas seven years before he had treated Baghdad with some moderation, he now ordered a general massacre. Each soldier had to bring the head of an inhabitant, says Sharif ad-Din [Ali Yazdi]; two heads says Ibn Arabshah. Amid all the carnage, the literary-minded Tamerlane spared certain men of letters and even offered them coats of honor. Apart from these men, the entire population was slaughtered, and all buildings except mosques demolished. Ibn Arabshah estimates the number of victims at 90,000. July heat under the sky of Iraq soon bred epidemics from the heaped corpses and forced the victor to withdraw.
>>Jean Aubin's 1962 analysis notesthat the Baghdad siege lasted nearly forty days, adding that the Zafarnama insists, "…in hopes of seeing the city surrender and conserve it intact, Tamerlane delayed several times the attack requested by his officers." Ravaged by starvation, groups of soldiers and residents fled the city, "…by jumping from the summit of the ramparts." When Tamerlane's forces launched their final assault, escape from Baghdad was prevented by archers who were arranged on both riverbanks of the Tigris. Consistent with the earlier accounts of Browne and Grousset, Aubin summarizes the fate of Baghdad's hapless population, as follows:
>>The entire population remaining in Baghdad, including children, was methodically massacred. Every soldier had to present one head to the officer where the officers kept an accounting. Piles of severed heads were built up in different places in the city. The number of victims varies according to the source; it was on the order of several tens of thousands. The rare survivors—approximately one person out of a hundred, according to the Zafar-nama—were sold into slavery. The only ones spared were theologians, sheiks, and dervishes who managed to reach Tamerlane's pavilion. They were given food and clothes, and sent to a safe place.
>>Tamerlanewa s born at Kash (Shahr-i-Sebz, the "Green City") in Transoxiana (some 50 miles south of Samarkand, in modern Uzbekistan), on April 8 (or 11), 1336 A.D.. Amir Turghay, his father, was chief of the Gurgan or Chagtai branch of the Barlas Turks. By age 34 (1369/70), Timur had killed his major rival (Mir Husain), becoming the pre-eminent ruler of Transoxiana. He spent the next six to seven years consolidating his power in Transoxiana before launching the aggressive conquests of Persia, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and then attacking Hindustan (India) under the tottering Delhi Sultanate.
>>Groussetcon trasts Jenghiz Khan's "straightforward planning" and "clean sweeps"with the "higgledy-piggledy" order of Timur's expeditions, and the often incomplete nature of the latter's conquests:
>>Tamerlane's [Timur's] conquering activities were carried on from the Volga to Damascus, from Smyrna to the Ganges and the Yulduz, and his expeditions into these regions followed no geographical order. He sped from Tashkent to Shiraz, from Tabriz to Khodzhent, as enemy aggression dictated; a campaign in Russia occurred between two in Persia, an expedition into Central Asia between two raids into the Caucasus…[Timur] at the end of every successful campaign left the country without making any dispositions for its control except Khwarizm and Persia, and even there not until the very end. It is true that he slaughtered all his enemies as thoroughly and conscientiously as the great Mongol, and the pyramids of human heads left behind him as a warning example tell their own tale. Yet the survivors forgot the lesson given them and soon resumed secret or overt attempts at rebellion, so that it was all to do again. It appears too, that these blood soaked
pyramids diverted [Timur] from the essential objective. Baghdad, Brussa (Bursa), Sarai, Kara Shahr, and Delhi were all sacked by him, but he did not overcome the Ottoman Empire, the Golden Horde, the khanate of Mogholistan, or the Indian Sultanate; and even the Jelairs of Iraq Arabi rose up again as soon as he had passed. Thus he had to conquer Khwarizm three times, the Ili six or seven times (without ever managing to hold it for longer than the duration of the campaign), eastern Persia twice, western Persia at least three times, in addition to waging two campaigns in Russia…[Timur's] campaigns "always had to be fought again," and fight them again he did.
>>Timur's campaigns are infamous for their extensive massacres and emblematic "pyramids of heads." Brown cites "only a few" prominent examples, in addition to the graphic cover art illustration, resulting from the 1401 Baghdad carnage:
>>As specimens of those acts mention may be made of his massacre of the people of Sistan 1383-4, when he caused some two thousand prisoners to be built up into a wall; his cold-blooded slaughter of a hundred thousand captive Indians near Dihli [Delhi] (December, 1398); his burying alive of four thousand Armenians in 1400-1, and the twenty towers of skulls erected by him at Aleppo and Damascus in the same year; and his massacre of 70,000 of the inhabitants of Isfahan in (November, 1387)…
>>Timur defeatedhis major Muslim rivals, the Ottomans, under Bayezid, July 20, 1402, destroying the Ottoman army (at Cubuk), and holding the sultan captive. Bayezid died a few months later (March 9, 1403, at Aksehir), "..broken by disaster and humiliation." With the Ottoman army's decimation, the conquestof Western Anatolia (and beyond), as Grousset has noted, "was no more than a route march for Tamerlane. "Bursa, the Ottoman capital, was plundered, and Tamerlane's surrogates continued their devastating advance further to Nicaea (Iznik).
>>Ibn Arabshah and Sharif ad-Din describe the conquerors behaving like a horde of savages, and that lovely city was set on fire. Tamerlane's grandson Abu Bakr galloped as far as Nicaea (Iznik),"slaying and looting everywhere," as Sharif ad-Din tells with relish.
>>Christian Smyrna (later Izmir)—which had defied repeated Ottoman attempts at conquest—was besiegedby Tamerlane himself, after its governor, Brother Guillaume de Munte of the Knights of Rhodes refused to convert to Islam. Following a two-week siege, which began in early December, 1402, the city was overwhelmed, and a general massacre ensued. According to Ibn Arabshah,
>>…[H]e slew the grown men and cast in bonds the women and children and from the corpses of the slain built mosques and from the skulls raised towers; then he despoiled that fort of its wealth and robbed it of its treasure and emptied it and desolated and plundered it and utterly drained its silver and gold and made the wings of glad news fly with these exploits, which news according to his presumption he sent through the world with propitious augury and swift flight.
>>A rather gruesome variant on the primary use of decapitated heads for skull towers occurred during the capture and destruction of Smyrna, as recorded by the Zafarnama.
>>A few escaped slaughter by casting themselves into the sea, and swimming to the vessels; while others were drowned. After our soldiers had put the inhabitants of Smyrna to the sword, they razed the houses, as well of the city as of the cattle, casting their arms and movable goods into the sea. There were from certain parts of Europe great ships named Caraca, with two masts, and some with more, which brought over soldiers and arms to succor the inhabitants. When they came near the palace and beheld the town and castle in ruins, they were struck with fear and anchored. Timur ordered that some of the Christians heads should be thrown into these ships, which the slingers of wild-fire accordingly did. The mariners seeing their companions heads, returned in fear and frustrated of their hopes.
>>Grousset maintainedTimur was indeed a pious Muslim (who may well have belonged to the Naqshbandi Sufi order, according to Manz), while emphasizing the important Islamic motivation for Timur's jihad campaigns:
>>It is the Qur'an to which he continually appeals, the imams and [Sufi] dervishes who prophesy his success. [emphasis added] His wars were to influence the character of the jihad, the Holy War, even when—as was almost always the case— he was fighting Muslims. He had only to accuse these Muslims of lukewarmness, whether the Jagataites of the Ili and Uiguria, whose conversion was so recent, or the Sultans of Delhi who…refrained from massacring their millions of Hindu subjects.
>>Beatrice Manz concurswith Grousset's assessment about the centrality of Islamic jihadism in motiviating Tamerlane's conquests, although she also stresses his dual role as "restorer" of the Turco-Mongolian world order. Tamerlane patronized Muslim scholars, constructed Islamic religious buildings, and waged jihad campaigns for dissemination of the Muslim creed to establish his bona fides as a promoter of Islam. The Zafarnama, Manz observes, invokes promulgation of the Sharia, specifically, as a primary animating factor for many of Tamerlane's campaigns:
>>Timur undertook many of his campaigns in the interest of religious order, and we fund that almost all mentions of Sharia in [Nizan al-Dim] Shami's Zafarnameh occur as justification for Timur's conquests. His campaigns against the kings of Georgia, the Shi'ite sayyids of Amul in Mazandaran [a province in northern Iran], and the non-Muslim populations on his route to India were all ostensibly taken for the preservation of Sharia; and Shami even invoked the sanctions of religion in explaining Timur's campaigns against the Ottomans. Before beginning his campaigns in the Middle East. Timur took care to get the blessing of Muslim men of religion.
>>The Turki chronicle Malfuzat-i-Timuri, another putative autobiographical memoir of Timur, translated into Persian by Abu Talib Husaini, illustrates these driving Islamic sentiments, complete with a Koranic quotation:
>>About this time there arose in my heart the desire to lead an expedition against the infidels, and to become a ghazi; for it had reached my ears that the slayer of infidels is a ghazi, and if he is slain he becomes a martyr. It was on this account that I formed this resolution, but I was undetermined in my mind whether I should direct my expedition against the infidels of China or against the infidels and polytheists of India. In this matter I sought an omen from the Qur'an, and the verse I opened upon [Q66:9] was this, "O Prophet, make war upon infidels and unbelievers, and treat them with severity." My great officers told me that the inhabitants of Hindustan were infidels and unbelievers. In obedience to the order of Almighty Allah I ordered an expedition against them.
>>Timur's jihad campaigns against non-Muslims — whether Christians in Asia Minor and Georgia, or Hindus in India — seemed to intensify in brutality. Brown highlightsone particular episode which supports this contention, wherein Timur clearly distinguished between his vanquished Muslim and non-Muslim foes. After rampaging through (Christian) Georgia, where he "devastated the country, destroyed the churches, and slew great numbers of inhabitants,"in the winter of 1399-1400, Timur, in August 1400,
>>…began his march into Asia Minor by way of Avnik, Erzeroum, Erzinjan, and Sivas. The latter place offered a stubborn resistance, and when it finally capitulated Timur caused all the Armenian and Christian soldiers to be buried alive; but the Muhammadans he spared.

>Saudi National Allegedly Connected to the Boston Jihadi Bombings
>I believe there is an al qaeda connection to the Boston jihad bombing. In my piece at Breitbart last week, Saudi National Deportation: American People Must Demand the Full Story, I point to Alharbi' s national security violations being tied to the Boston bombing. Today we have proof. What is Abdul Rahman Alharbi' s role in the bombing? Why the rush to whisk this "terror threat" out of the country? Call your Congressmen and tell them to demand answers from the DoJ and the Obama administration. They don't serve the Saudis; they serve the American people. We have seen the extraordinary lengths that the U.S. Government goes to, sacrificing our own people and our own national security concerns, to placate this Islamic supremacist regime that promotes jihad around the world. The bin Laden family was flown out of the country in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, although it could be argued that they weren't culpable in any way. A Miami Herald exposé Wednesday
shows how we kowtow to the Saudis. And the Saudis are not our friends. -- More skulduggery on the Saudi national. Here's the latest from The Blaze:
>Background points:
>> * A Saudi national originally identified as a "person of interest" in the Boston Marathon bombing was set to be deported under section 212 3B — "Security and related grounds" — "Terrorist activities" after the bombing
>> * As the story gained traction, TheBlaze's Chief Content Officer Joel Cheatwood received word that the government may not deport the Saudi national, originally identified as Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi
>> * Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano refused to answer questions on the subject when confronted by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) on Capitol Hill.
>> * An ICE official said aseparate Saudi national is in custody, but is "in no way" connected to the bombings.
>> * A congressional source, however, says that the file on Alharbi wascreated, that he was "linked" in some way to the Boston bombings (though it is unclear how), and that documents showing all this have been sent to Congress.
>> * Key congressmen of the Committee on Homeland Security request a classified briefing with Napolitano
>> * Fox News' Todd Starnes reports that Alharbi was allegedly flagged on a terrorist watch list and granted a student visa without being properly vetted
>> * New information provided to TheBlaze reveals Alharbi's file was altered early Wednesday evening to disassociate him from the initial charges
>> * Sources say the Saudi's student visa specifically allows him to go to school in Findlay, Ohio, though he appears to have an apartment in Boston, Massachusetts
>> * Sources tell us this will most likely now be kicked from the DHS to the DOJ and labeled an ongoing investigation that can no longer be discussed.Beck proceeded to highlight the background of the Saudi national first identified as a "person of interest" in the Boston bombings, Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, noting that the the NTC issued an event file calling for his deportation using section 212, 3B which is proven terrorist activity. "We are not sure who actually tagged him as a '212 3B,' but we know it is very difficult to charge someone with this — it has to be almost certain," Beck explained. "It is the equivalent in civil society of charging someone with premeditated murder and seeking the death penalty — it is not thrown around lightly." Beck continued, noting that after Secretary of State John Kerry met with Saudi Foreign Minister Saud on Tuesday, the FBI began backtracking on the Saudi national from suspect, to person of
interest, to witness, to victim, to nobody. Then, on Wednesday, President Obama had a "chance" encounter with Saudi Foreign Minister Saud and Saudi Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir. "Wednesday at 5:35 p.m. the file is altered," Beck said. "This is unheard of, this is impossible in the timeline due to the severity of the charge….You don't one day put a 212 3B charge against somebody with deportation, and then the next day take it off. It would require too much to do it." "There are only two people that could revoke the deportation order — the director of the NTC could do it after speaking with each department, the FBI, the ATC, etc. — which is impossible to do in such a short period of time, — or, somebody at the very highest levels of the State Department could do it. We don't have any evidence to tell you which one did it," Beck said. Congressman Duncan is in possession of the original event file along with other members of the
House Homeland Security Committee, and have sent a formal letter of request (which we have a copy of) to Napolitano for a classified briefing on the Saudi national and the deportation order. If, as an ICE official said last week, there is actually a second Saudi in custody, who is it? Beck asked. "Why were there were no names, no pictures presented? The fact is, an event was created for one Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi indicating he was to be deported for terrorism activity related to the Boston bombing. If this file was created with another Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi in mind, don't you think we should know about it?" Beck proceeded with more exclusive information:
>>The Saudi's student visa specifically allows him to go to school in Findley, Ohio. He has been in this country six months.He has an apartment in Boston, Massachusetts.
>>> If this is a case of mistaken identity, then who is the person named in the file, with the same name, with the 3B charge?And If DHS was working with the person as a source to out the bombers, then why was there a 3B Charge?
>>> Exclusive: Why wasn't the Congressional Committee on Homeland Security notified? Why are they being cut out of all information? This is protocol.
>>> We are working on the family connections, and there is more to come.
>>> Sources tell us this will most likely now be kicked from the DHS to the DOJ and labeled an ongoing investigation that can no longer be discussed. This will be the reason Napalitano won't answer the Homeland Security Committee's request for a briefing. Like Benghazi they have heavy into a disinformation campaign floating a variety of scenarios to confuse the media — but that apparently doesn't take much — to prevent the story from being pursued… They are also working very hard to discredit those on the scent.
>>> It is still unclear why the government is stonewalling the media on information as to why the file initially labeled Alharbi as a threat, only to change that designation later in the week. Is there a legitimate threat that's being covered up? Did the government have actual concerns about Alharbi, but was too quick to connect him in this instance and is now trying to stave off embarrassment? Many questions remain. "We demand answers from the Justice Department and this administration." UPDATE:Is Obama Covering Up Saudi Role In Boston Bombings?

>Saudi National Questioned in Boston was on Terror Watch List
>The Obama administration has scrubbed counter-terrorism manuals and material of jihad and Islam. How many jihadists are in this country thanks to Obama's immigration policies? Did Alharbi know the Boston bombers? Why the rush to return him to Saudi Arabia?
>"Saudi National Questioned in Boston was on Terror Watch List" Todd Starnes, Fox News (thanks to Andrew Bostom)
>>The Saudi national who was initially detained and then ruled out asa suspect in the Boston Marathon terrorist attack had been flagged on a terror watch list and was granted a student visa without being properly vetted, sources have told me.
>>A source close to the investigation revealed that Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi had been deemed inadmissible under the section of the Immigration and Nationality Act which declares ineligible for a visa –any alien who is engaged in or is likely to engage after entry – in terrorist activity.
>>At least two additional sources have confirmed to me that Ali Alharbi is set to be deported as early as this week, contrary to statements made by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
>>The House Homeland Security Committee is now requesting a classified briefing with Napolitano to get to the bottom of the issue, according to an exclusive report from The Blaze.
>>Napolitano denied anyone was being deported in a heated exchange Thursday with Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) during a House hearing.
>>"I am unaware of anyone who is being deported for national security concerns at all related to Boston," she said. "I don't know where that rumor came from."
>>The Homeland Security chief said the Saudi national was not "technically a person of interest or a suspect, that was a wash."
>>But Duncan questioned the wisdom of deporting someone who was at the scene of a terrorist attack.
>>"Wouldn't you agree with me that it is negligent for us, as an American administration, to deport someone who was reportedly at the scene of the bombing, and we are going to deport him, not to be able to question him anymore, is that not negligent," Duncan asked.
>>Napolitano refused to answer the question.
>>"It is so full of misstatements and misapprehensions, that it is just not worthy of any answer," she replied. "There has been so much reported on this that has been wrong. I can't even begin to tell you, congressman."
>>Last week Steven Emerson, of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, told Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity that Alharbi had been set to be deported "on national security grounds."
>>"You don't arrest their citizens – you deport them," Emerson said regarding the Saudis.
>>An Immigration and Customs Enforcement official told me that it was a case a "Saudi being in the wrong place at the wrong time."
>>The official, with knowledge of the case, said Alharbi's status has changed – but as it now stands – he will be sent back home.
>>"They don't like the negative press," the official said of the Saudis. "The guess is he will probably be allowed to leave without a lot of hype in order to avoid political sensitivities with the Saudis."
>>ICE sources toldThe Blaze that a separate Saudi national was in custody — and that individual was in no way affiliated with the Boston attacks.

>Jihad is in America
>>Exclusive: Pamela Geller warns, 'This obfuscation and denial has to stop'
>The surviving Boston jihadi has caught, and the mainstream media is now turning to the question of Why? The Washington Post ran a story headlined, "Search for why begins." Chicago Tribune had "Boston Marathon bombing investigation turns to motive." The Huffington Post ran as a headline the single word: "Why?"
>>Why, indeed? Why do the media cover up, obfuscate and mislead the American people about the gravest national security threat this nation faces? Why do the enemedia viciously attack anyone who is brave enough to suffer the libel, defamation and death threats that follow speaking out against jihad and Shariah? This is a sickness – a societal death wish and orgy of self-hatred. The furious rush to sanitize the motive is the sanction of the victim. The enemedia are disarming the American people, inevitably leading sheep to slaughter.
>>Worst of all was Elspeth Reeve of the Atlantic Wire, who ran a spiteful story titled, "The U.S. Anti-Muslim Crowd Is Quite Pleased with Itself." As the wounds are still gaping and the baby's body not yet cold, the ghouls on the left attack those of us who have been warning of this very thing.
>>This vicious tool should be thanking me and apologizing for the years of smears, defamation and libel that the enemedia have directed against me, my work and my colleagues. Instead, she aids and abets the most gruesome slaughterers ever on American soil.
>>And there is more enemedia willful blindness from Time: They talk about some of their obvious jihadi ties and then say that there is no evidence that Dzhokhar was motivated by religion – as if the brothers had different motives, and ignoring Dzhokhar's statement that his "worldview" was "Islam."
>>The media's knee-jerk reaction is to go into full spin mode, not to take a step back and think, or to say to themselves, "Maybe we got this wrong."
>>The jihadists told us why. What's it going to take?
>>Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have deeply imbibed the jihad ideology that permeates Chechnya and the Muslim areas of the Russia Caucasus in general. And even the mainstream media can't entirely ignore this: The New York Times reports: "On Vkontakte, Russia's most popular social media platform, the younger brother, Dzhokhar, describes his worldview as 'Islam' and … lists a verse from the Koran, 'Do good, because Allah loves those who do good.'"
>>Apparently targeting, mutilating, and slaughtering women and children falls under the category of "doing good."

>HuffPo Tries to Strongarm Indiegogo into Dropping AFDI Fundraiser
>Now more than ever, help us keep exposing the truth about jihad and Islamic supremacism. If there was ever a time when the American people needed the facts about jihad, it is now. CONTRIBUTE TO THIS CAMPAIGN HERE! Nathan Lean is at it again, this time in the Puff Ho. Lapdog Lean is a real bottom feeder, a dull-witted and violent-minded enemy of freedom who has threatened RobertSpencer repeatedly, has been arrested for shouting obscenities at a city council meeting, has called on hackers to destroy Jihad Watch, and gets a platform in mainstream media outlets including the Los Angeles Times and New York Daily Newsto call for restrictions on our freedom of speech. Now he is trying to intimidate Indiegogo into shutting down our AFDI fundraiser. The core element of his case is that our ad campaigns constitute "hate," and Indiegogo' s guidelines prohibit their allowing fundraising for hate. So Lean is trying to convince them that fighting against Islamic
Jew-hatred, gender apartheid, creed apartheid, and slavery is "hate." Considering that Lean is the Editor-In-Chief of Aslan Media, which is run by Reza Aslan, and that Aslan is a Board member of a front group for the Islamic Republic of Iran, it's easy to see why Lean would see opposition to jihad and Islamic supremacism as "hate."
>Crowdfunding Hate: Indiegogo Profits From Anti-Muslim Campaign by Nathan Lean, Huffington Post, April 15
>Indiegogo may sound like the name of a 1970s funk band, but it's actually one of the fastest growing crowd-funding sites on the Internet. Founded in 2002 by a former Wall Street analyst, the funding platform allows inspired individuals to grow projects or personal campaigns by pooling money from donors. If you desire, you can drop a few bucks to help a startup bakery. You could also help finance new stables at a therapeutic horse ranch or sponsor an orphanage in Haiti.
>>Everything is fair game, as long as you play by the rules. And the rules are clear: User terms stipulate that you can't promote hate.
>>Strange, then, that among those partaking in Indiegogo' s services is the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), an organization classified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group. They are using the platform to raise money -- and lots of it -- to put out another batch of their now-infamous anti-Muslim metro and bus ads. Led by bloggers Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, AFDI has come under fire in recent months for waging a culture war in subway stops with ad campaigns that single out Muslims and the religion of Islam and conflate them with the actions of a fraction of extremists.
>>Spencer and I responded to that Big Lie in a piece we cowrote for the San Francisco Examiner: "Central to Nathan Lean's claim that our American Freedom Defense Initiative ads spread 'hate' is his charge that the ads 'suggest collective guilt on the part of the world's 1.6 billion Muslims for acts of terrorism.&# 39; Yet nowhere do our ads suggest any such thing. Instead, they highlight real hatred and incitement to violence from influential Muslim leaders and spokesmen. Muslims and non-Muslims who abhor and oppose that hatred and incitement should be standing with us, not condemning us."
>The latest placards, which to date have raised $22K of a $50K goal, urge the cessation of aid to "Islamic countries" and feature a fierce quotation sprawled across a Palestinian flag which reads, "It' s Saturday, so massacre the Jews; on Sunday massacre the Christians." The obvious missing group -- the world's 1.5 billion Muslims -- is thought to be doing the massacring. "Our dead in the cause of Islam have taught us plenty," the description on the group's Indiegogo campaign page reads. "Over 20,000 jihad attacks around the world since 9/11, each with the imprimatur of a Muslim cleric, have taught us all we need to know."
>>Here again, nowehere does the ad say that "the world's 1.5 billion Muslims" are the ones who are "doing the massacring." Lean is just making that up.
>It's that type of language that caused the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to rejectthe application of Geller and Spencer' s group, Stop the Islamization of America (SIOA). It's also that type of language that the Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik digested in the summer of 2011 before he went on a shooting rampage and killed 77 youths. Breivik citedGeller and Spencer dozens of times as informing his views on Muslims and Islam. Recently, several organizations have canceled the duos speeches, including the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC), a Massachusetts Diocese and a New York synagogue.
>>Re the USPTO: they rejected SIOA's trademark because it found it "disparaging&q uot; to Muslims. We are appealing, arguing that no law-abiding Muslim could possibly be disparaged by a trademark that reflected our goal to "stop" the Muslim Brotherhood&# 39;s civilization jihad, which is what we proved that "Islamization& quot; means. More here. As for Breivik, he himself has explained that he was actually inspired by al-Qaeda. Lean and his accomplices routinely lie about who really inspired the mad monster, exploiting him to try to destroy all opposition to the jihad. How ironic that it is jihad that was his inspiration and teacher. And regarding the cancellations, Lean holds up prior occasions when he and his friends have succeeded in smearing and defaming us to the point that frightened venues drop us as if they were strikes against us, when actually they're only signs of his own fascism and opposition to the freedom of speech.
>Erica Labovitz, Director of Strategic Programs at Indiegogo commented in an email exchange that, "The views reflected by the campaign owners are not necessarily those of Indiegogo." That may well be the case. But it does little to explain how a campaign that singles out the followers of an entire religious faith with incendiary associations and stereotypes does not violate the company' s "no hate" policy. Would an antagonistic ad campaign directed at Jews or Catholics receive a pass too? What does Indiegogo classify as hate?
>>Unfortunate ly for Lean, they don't classify truth or freedom fighting as "hate." When this campaign of smears and intimidation began against Indiegogo, wrote to them asking them to stand firm and got back this note: "Thank you for your note. Indiegogo is an open platform that allows anyone, anywhere to raise money. We have checks in place to prevent fraud, and have language in our Terms of Service to protect contributions. We appreciate that you took the time to share this and will be in touch if we have any questions."
>Several activists have reached out to Indiegogo with little success. In an essay at Salon, Chris Stedman, an interfaith leader, assistant chaplain at Harvard, and author of the memoir "Faitheist, " urged the company to reconsider its support for provocative AFDI ads that pitted Muslims and gays against each other. Emails sent through the company' s website were unanswered as were tweets to company execs. Geller and Spencer' s followers, however, were more vulgar. Dozens of them bombarded Stedman with homophobic insults and slurs, while also leveling derogatory attacks at Muslims. The reaction underscored precisely the nasty consequences of AFDI's program to cleave society into warring factions.
>>Stedman is one of the leading "Chickens for Colonel Sanders," aka Gays for sharia. Breitbart slams 'em here, as do I here at The Thinker, and Spencer KO's Stedman here. Lean ends up by claiming that we "should be afforded" the right to free speech -- all the while trying to shut us down and shut us up. But he does include contacts for Indiegogo. Use them to call, politely and calmly, for them to stand firm against this thuggery and intimidation, and to keep the AFDI fundraiser up:
>Also troubling is that not only does Indiegogo offer its fundraising services to AFDI's minority-bashing crusaders, but it also gives them a discount. As a non-profit organization, AFDI is entitled to a 25 percent reduction in platform fees. Beyond that, Indiegogo is profiting from anti-Muslim hate. The company charges a 9 percent fee on funds raised. If the group reaches their goal, Indiegogo gives 5 percent back, leaving them with a profit of 4 percent. That may not sound like a lot, but it's a cool couple of grand to pocket from prejudicing a minority population. AFDI should be afforded their rights to free speech, but that doesn't mean that organizations like Indiegogo are obligated to host these campaigns. Enabling divisive and hurtful rhetoric against Muslims or any community is something that they can and should refuse to do. Indiegogo has an opportunity to be a force for good in the world, empowering those who desire to bring about positive
change with the means to realizing their goals. The vilest of hate groups should not be among them -- even if there is a profit involved.

>It is monstrous that John Kerry would compare the jihadists on the warship flotilla to Boston jihad victims. And he says this in Istanbul, no less. This reflects Obama's pro-jihadist foreign policy. It is unspeakable.
