RE: [chottala.com] Mr Aslam. ... reply to Dina Khan !



Islam does not allow any devil activity.
The people who are doing devil work are not the real followers of Islam They are not either properly Islamic educated or may be they were guided by devil .to do devil's work in the name of Islam.
To establish socio-economical justice under lawful honest administration in the system of lawful democracy  is the aim of Bangladesh creation.
The banning will create more violance  every action has equal reaction
It is essential for peaceful Bangladesh & to make success this aim of establishing lawful democracy in Bangladesh  for lawful administration it needs to provide nation wide all people quality knowledge specific education to educate them as quality educated persons to understand the differences between right & wrong.

Dear Dina,
 
What Islam means and Islam does are two different things.
 
You potray Islam in one manner while in reality it does not even come near to what you tried to impress.
 
If you care to know that Bangladesh was created for all Bangalees and not for any particular religion, it does not matter whether that particular religion is majority or not. Politics based on religion is a dangerous thing. Everybody should practice their faith in mosques, temples and churches and not in the streets. Why make one religion supercedes others?
 
Unfortunately Islam does not give real justice or freedom to anyone, let me give you some example:
 
1. Everyone, irrespective of their religious faith can visit any religious places of Hindus, Christians and others, while non-muslims are restricted to visit Mecca and Kaba, why is that?
 
2. In Bangladesh, most Ahmedis are percecuted by Muslims, no local leaders ever protest such barbaric events. In Afganistan the Islamic Taliban blew out the Buddha statues, I did not hear any Muslim outcry over this tragic event. Just imagine if any Non-Muslim group blow out any Islamic shrines, what whould the result be? I hear that even if there are silly rumours of insulting Islam, the many Muslims goes crazy and kills innocent people. A few months ago a Christian family was butchered in Pakistan, based on rumours.
In Many Islamic countries the female must wear some kind of Muslim attire, according to their country laws, why is that? Are these justice for all?
 
In any democratic country, should anytime the Mollas come to power by elctions, what wold happen? They would change the entire stucture of the country, they would cHANGE THE LAWS, the Constitution and every other things possible. Every political party would ne banned and we all must live the strict Islamic way.
 
Therefore, all religious party should be banned and let the people live in peace. Please do not potray things which are not true just because you beleve in them. Many still belief that the earth is flat and the sun goes round the earth.
 
Thanks and regards.

Mr. Aslam

You are wasting energy & time for Islam. Do you know? Aim of People鈥檚 Republic Bangladesh creation is not to destroy Islam in Bangladesh but to establish under lawful administration in the system of lawful democracy social --economical justice which is the basic principle of Islam.

If you are Muslim must know that Islam based on justice of humanity & justice of human right.

In Islam all have equal right as human being.  It does not create division & classes among the human. In Islam for social & economical justice honest earning Jakat Fitra on honest earning is compulsory.  In secularism there is nothing ideological principle only the slogan for humanity & human right for democracy.

Democracy means a system to rule country with majority people鈥檚 opinion.

It needs to understand that the real democracy has no adjective to say

i)                     Secular democracy or

ii)                    Islamic Democracy or

iii)                   Control democracy or

iv)                   Basic democracy.

Adding any adjective democracy becomes fake democracy & resists democracy not real democracy.

It will be highly appreciated if you be real Bangladeshi try to understand what the real democracy is & suggest the present democratically elected Government administration of Bangladesh that for

Bangladesh's Secular Revolution

Women are powering the country's rejection of radical Islam, but more must be done.

By K. ANIS AHMED
 
In the pantheon of Islamic states, Bangladesh seems an unlikely place for a secular revolution. It is a dry country with no bars, casinos or horse races. Bangladesh is not liberal in its social mores, compared to Muslim-majority countries like Turkey or Indonesia. And secular principles are far from being consistently upheld: Madrassas receive state funding, while citizens are often hounded for perceived slights to Islam.
Yet since its landslide election in 2008, the ruling Awami League party has rolled back the Islamization trend of recent decades. In July, the government banned the extremist scholar Syed Abul Ala Maududi's books. A historic Supreme Court ruling last month struck down a constitutional amendment that had paved the way for Islamist politics. And a special tribunal to try war crimes of the 1971 Liberation War began its work last month.
These trials are garnering a significant amount of public attention, as the accused are mostly leaders of Islamist political parties. The Awami League is emboldened no doubt by its resounding majority鈥攊ts alliance controls 264 out of the 300-seat parliament. Its leaders sense a historic opportunity to redress the past. In the late '90s, the Awami League adopted an arguably more moderate course, but this leniency was violently repaid when an alliance of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Jamaat-e-Islami won power, when repeated terroristic attacks killed top Awami League leaders. This, combined with the desire to see justice done, has shaped the party's determined mood.
Associated Press Activists demand war-crimes trials, March 2010.
 
ahmedsecular
ahmedsecular
Cynics argue that the trials are politically motivated. The principal target, Jamaat-e-Islami, is a crucial ally of the main opposition BNP. Yet, any perceived benefits to the Awami League are not as straightforward as they may seem. Driving Jamaat underground might make it more dangerous, and any votes lost by Jamaat due to the trials will accrue to BNP, not to the Awami League. Indeed, it might have been safer for the Awami League to ignore the historical injustices. With the advent of the trials, many are now anxious of violent extremist reprisals. Yet repeated opinion polls indicate overwhelming public support for the trials.
Aside from the political jousting, the widespread public support for all the secularizing measures is worth closer scrutiny. Bangladesh's Sufi Islamic roots clearly play a big role. Religious practice in this delta consisted of practices woven gently into the existing cultural fabric, not harshly imposed from outside. While the Islamism that has swept the region in recent decades has left a mark鈥攆rom greater numbers of madrassas to the prevalence of burqas worn by women鈥攊t did not uproot a deeper cultural antipathy to extremism.
Yet this is also a society where the high court dared to declare fatwas illegal and ruled last week that no woman can be forced to wear burqas at work or school; a society where the secular holidays like Bengali New Year and Valentine's Day鈥攂oth irritating to the fundamentalists鈥攁re celebrated by millions of youth. Even in its heyday, Jamaat never garnered more than 10% of the popular vote.
Why? Credit women's empowerment, which provide not only a sign of societal progress, but also remain its most salient cause. The prime minister and the opposition leader are both women. The foreign affairs, home and agricultural ministries are all run by women. Women hold top jobs in government, banks and business, and are especially prominent in legal, medical and social industries. They excel in art, culture and sport. They serve in the armed forces and fly planes for the national airlines. In the lower socio-economic spheres, women work in agriculture, microfinance and the garment industry. Tens of millions of women are economic decision-makers.
Of course the struggle for gender rights and equity still has a long way to go. But the attempt to achieve these worthy goals, led mainly by nongovernmental organizations, has also increased social resiliency against religious fanaticism. In fact, it's not a stretch to argue that the government's actions to stem Islamism could never have been imagined without society's secular backdrop.
The foreign community could reinforce these positive trends by supporting the war crimes tribunal. Important in its own right, the success of the trials is crucial to the secularization process as well. Trade and development partners also need to review their economic policies. The United States, for example, could reduce its punitive tariffs on Bangladeshi garments, providing an immediate boost to the economy.
Just as importantly, it's key to recognize that Bangladesh has come further on its own in the struggle to stay secular than many Muslim countries鈥攅ven those with greater foreign aid or intervention. Which just goes to show that Bangladeshis can do much to build themselves a better future. Is there a more positive example for the Islamic world?
Mr. Ahmed is vice president of the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh Foundation.

The constituin of Bangladesh copied from Indian constitution, Dr Kamal, yougest barrister in Mujib-brand, and Tajuddin, the great commie had no experience about constituion; simply striked out India and replace with a word 'Bangladesh'.
 
So Bangladesh got: Socialism, Secularism including Seikhdom.
 
Seikh Mujib was a gutt politician, he does not even know to establish socialism in a poor country like Bangladesh. It was not peoples mandate to adopt socialism or secularism.
 
Does not Hasina play with her Hijab/bandada just before the election of 96? If she really believe in secularism, then, she should refrain from shwoing any perosnal bias, rather wear a Hindu-mula or Buddist Gauri or Christian cross around her neck? WHy only wear hijab just before election?
 
Who is hypocrite here? Who is playing with religious hypocracy?

In July, the government banned the extremist scholar Syed Abul Ala Maududi's books. A historic Supreme Court ruling last month struck down a constitutional amendment that had paved the way for Islamist politics. And a special tribunal to try war crimes of the 1971 Liberation War began its work last month.
These trials are garnering a significant amount of public attention, as the accused are mostly leaders of Islamist political parties. The Awami League is emboldened no doubt by its resounding majority鈥攊ts alliance controls 264 out of the 300-seat parliament. Its leaders sense a historic opportunity to redress the past. In the late '90s, the Awami League adopted an arguably more moderate course, but this leniency was violently repaid when an alliance of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Jamaat-e-Islami won power, when repeated terroristic attacks killed top Awami League leaders. This, combined with the desire to see justice done, has shaped the party's determined mood.

Cynics argue that the trials are politically motivated. The principal target, Jamaat-e-Islami, is a crucial ally of the main opposition BNP. Yet, any perceived benefits to the Awami League are not as straightforward as they may seem. Driving Jamaat underground might make it more dangerous, and any votes lost by Jamaat due to the trials will accrue to BNP, not to the Awami League. Indeed, it might have been safer for the Awami League to ignore the historical injustices. With the advent of the trials, many are now anxious of violent extremist reprisals. Yet repeated opinion polls indicate overwhelming public support for the trials.
Aside from the political jousting, the widespread public support for all the secularizing measures is worth closer scrutiny. Bangladesh's Sufi Islamic roots clearly play a big role. Religious practice in this delta consisted of practices woven gently into the existing cultural fabric, not harshly imposed from outside. While the Islamism that has swept the region in recent decades has left a mark鈥攆rom greater numbers of madrassas to the prevalence of burqas worn by women鈥攊t did not uproot a deeper cultural antipathy to extremism.
Yet this is also a society where the high court dared to declare fatwas illegal and ruled last week that no woman can be forced to wear burqas at work or school; a society where the secular holidays like Bengali New Year and Valentine's Day鈥攂oth irritating to the fundamentalists鈥攁re celebrated by millions of youth. Even in its heyday, Jamaat never garnered more than 10% of the popular vote.
Why? Credit women's empowerment, which provide not only a sign of societal progress, but also remain its most salient cause. The prime minister and the opposition leader are both women. The foreign affairs, home and agricultural ministries are all run by women. Women hold top jobs in government, banks and business, and are especially prominent in legal, medical and social industries. They excel in art, culture and sport. They serve in the armed forces and fly planes for the national airlines. In the lower socio-economic spheres, women work in agriculture, microfinance and the garment industry. Tens of millions of women are economic decision-makers.
Of course the struggle for gender rights and equity still has a long way to go. But the attempt to achieve these worthy goals, led mainly by nongovernmental organizations, has also increased social resiliency against religious fanaticism. In fact, it's not a stretch to argue that the government's actions to stem Islamism could never have been imagined without society's secular backdrop.
The foreign community could reinforce these positive trends by supporting the war crimes tribunal. Important in its own right, the success of the trials is crucial to the secularization process as well. Trade and development partners also need to review their economic policies. The United States, for example, could reduce its punitive tariffs on Bangladeshi garments, providing an immediate boost to the economy.
Just as importantly, it's key to recognize that Bangladesh has come further on its own in the struggle to stay secular than many Muslim countries鈥攅ven those with greater foreign aid or intervention. Which just goes to show that Bangladeshis can do much to build themselves a better future. Is there a more positive example for the Islamic world?
