Mr. Bose,
The problem is that - most of us do not understand your sarcasm. You are still a mystery to me. Your viewpoints contain conflicting thoughts. For example, when you were talking about Golam Azam, you were also talking about a Muslim family, who sheltered your family during the war. These two thoughts should not appear together. Such talks will only confuse readers. I still do not know your position on Golam Azam, and his verdict.
You should know that tyrannical expressions are defended by freedom of speech.

Subject: [mukto-mona] Freedom of speech when faced with tyrannical expression
As I understand that we are using free thinking forum where expression will be vibrant and talk will be full of humour or very serious or sarcastic. When we find forceful and tyrannical attitude among us then it is very nice to say the person to use your tyrannical weapon and abolish the free thinker. As we have seen the democracies have long grappled with the issue of the limits, if any, to place on the expression of ideas and beliefs. The dilemma dates back at least to ancient Greece, when the Athenians, who cherished individual freedom, nevertheless prosecuted Socrates for his teachings, claiming that he had corrupted young people and insulted the gods. I am very little in compare to great Socrates.
Quote :"Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate one's opinions and ideas using one's body and property to anyone who is willing to receive them. The term freedom of expression is sometimes used synonymously, but includes any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used. In practice, the right to freedom of speech is not absolute in any country and the right is commonly subject to limitations, as with libel, slander, obscenity, sedition (including, for example inciting ethnic hatred), copyright violation, revelation of information that is classified or otherwise."
