I too got totally perplexed with Mr. Rahman going after Mr. Roy's name spellings which should not be an issue unless he got an axe to grind with Mr. Roy. If the names were spelled incorrectly in Bangla, Mr. Rahman may have a point. But names spelled English? I am sorry, I found it very odd.
If I have to believe Mr. Iqbal's Pakistan avoidance, I must say he is my hero. I do not think we can find many such personalities in our current Bangladesh. Mr. Iqbal is right about that the things could have gone far easier for us if we could prosecute these killers right after the independence. The question is why could not we do that? Why could not we allow the mob justice to take place when blood was still fresh and wet? No doubt, it is harder now and a lot of water has flown under the bridges to make us more mellower and merciful. Even priorities for the country has changed. The criminals have been fully rehabilitated within BNP/Jamat and they have the money and muscle to go after the whole state. Can we afford another civil war? Can we beat them again? If so, I say more power to Hasina. Otherwise, bring them to the table and run the country from the center. I hate to see more blood on the street.

If these are the most delicate things to you, how you will see what's really damaging to the nation.
Hello, the country is passing through the final phase of the history of liberation struggle, which remained undone for 42 years, mainly due to international conspiracies. Obviously, you missed that point, as you were looking for spelling mistakes in the proper nouns.
By the way, how do you know which one is the correct spelling of a proper noun? Can you prove which one is right and which one is wrong? Just curious!

Zafar Iqbal's emotional outburst bears the testimony of his pain and at the same time shows his extreme nationalism and patriotism.
But Jiten Roy's blame on 'professionals and intellectuals' of Bangladesh failing to see things his way is totally unacceptable. The problem is that he does not pick up things as he reads a discourse. Let me point out few things before going on to the main issue.
Jiten Roy failed to see that it is Zafar Iqbal; not Jafar Iqbal or Jaffor Iqbal. Jiten Roy failed to see that it is Jamaat; not Jamat. Jiten Roy failed to see that it is Quader Molla; not Kader Molla. With such oversight in simple matters, it is not surprising that delicate things are missed by him.
He seems to be absolutely positive that all the killings and murders are caused by BNP/Jamaat. Yes, BNP/Jamaat are calling the strikes and they are causing most of the deaths, but definitely not all the deaths. There are reports that the AL people are also attacking people or attacking opponents and killing them. There are incontrovertible evidence that AL supporters attacked minorities at various places in order to put blame on BNP/Jamaat. So when Bangladeshi 'professionals and intellectuals' hold back their guilty verdict on opposition in all cases, they are showing that they are not blinded like Jiten Roy.
Nobody is defending Quader Molla or 'casting doubt' on his punishment. I have the feeling that Jiten Roy had not read my article on Quader Molla, which was published about three days ago in bdnews24.com. The URL is given below. If you read it, you will find that 'Bangladeshi professionals and intellectuals' are not as obfuscated as you think.

While reading Jafar Iqbal's emotional writing, I was trying to understand why and how so many "professional" intellectuals in Bangladesh can change their views so quickly, so easily, and go against Sheikh Hashina at the time when Bangladesh has opened the second phase of liberation war, in which - country is engaged in bringing justice to those criminals, who have taken part in the genocide during the liberation of Bangladesh. Shouldn't they forget petty issues and get united behind Awami League now? Instead, they have been trying to pour fuel in the fire to make this process even more difficult to accomplish. Why is that? Why?
Like Jaffor Iqbal, I asked myself many times – why do professional intellectuals blame government when BNP/Jamat cadres kill people, burn houses, businesses, and properties? Why do they blame government for the crimes of BNP/Jamat? Why are so many people shading tears for Kader Molla, the butcher of Mirpur, who has been recognized by Pakistani government as one of their collaborators? Why do they still cast doubt about the justice of Kader Molla? I find no answers to so many of these questions.
