Bangladesh High Court Strikes Down Jamaat-e-Islami's Electoral Registration
We applaud the landmark ruling by the three member
high court panel. August 1, 2013 has become a very
important day to remember for all activists in BanglaDesh
who yearn for a Secular BanglaDesh. Not knowing the
real nature (1.a,b) of this Islamo-fascist dragon, the people
of BanglaDesh have suffered much.
This is only a stepping stone. This particular Islamist party
(Jama at e Islami) is adept at playing all types of political
gimmicks and fraudulent strategies and tactics. One
probable step is their infiltration in to other Salafist
organizations which are not under ban. There is a potential
danger of these virile elements succeeding in heating up
extremist Jihadi enthusiasm among the devout youth
creating theological bridges. Perhaps JI's literary arsenal
already has enough of such popular guide books which are
actually exercises in misguiding and criminal
misinterpretations. It is up to the executives in the Police
Department to confiscate such stuff and prevent
propagation of Jihadi incitement materials in
the country. We hope that the secular activists in Bangla
Desh will be cautious and realize the fact that Islamic holy
books including the Qur'aan have inflammable contents.
While Rationalists, Humanists and Atheists point out such
bitter truths some people are seen labeling us with
Islamophobia crying out loud pointing accusing fingers
unnecessarily as if they are hurt. It is of no use accusing
critics of Islam. If these apologists want peace and
harmony,they are to confront the Jehadi extremists and not
Secular Humanists. We would like to forewarn the ruling
parties in BanglaDesh against persecuting the genuine
secularists. It is their bounden duty to assure that freedoms
of conscience and expression are safe guarded in the case
of Rationalists, Humanists and Atheists. No amount
of misinterpretation by political ignoramuses,whose eyes are
on vote banks only, can alter the fact that these secular
activists are the lighthouses in the grim darkness of cultural
dogmatism bound to prevail in a country dominated
by blind faith and superstitions.
We congratulate the peace loving people of BanglaDesh in
having been granted the opportunity of legal support in their
march to freedom and prosperity. Cheers!!
