Let me tell you the content of her speech. She hasn't given it yet, but I'll write down my prediction and let us see how many of them will turn out to be correct. 1. She will say that Bangladesh is working against terrorism and militancy 2. She will say Bangladesh has achieved "women's rights"...

In my opinion, Ziaur Rahman was the best leader Bangladesh ever had. Unfortunately I cannot see another leader like him on the political horizon.

So according to you, Manas, everyone should blindly parrot any and all accusations that they hear about negative actions committed by Muslims, or they must be a "Islamic sympathiser"? To avoid being an "Islamic sympathiser" should we all start to believe that Muslims were responsible for the...

All the problems of the Muslim world can be traced to Saudi Arabia and the Wahhabis. I'll be glad to see the day the KSA and all the Arab countries become Republics.

Thought I am a "Sunni", I admire Iran far, far more than the Arabs. Iran has the best universities in the Islamic world today, it makes its own fighter jets(without help from China), and has sent satellites to space. This "Shia-Sunni" thing is a non-issue. Shias and Sunnis are absolutely the...

Rule of Law is Rule of Law, and even the worst criminal deserves a fair trial. I hate to see otherwise-civilized people supporting this act.

America concerned about human rights abuses? America is the biggest human rights abuser in the world!

One thing I don't understand is why "nationalist" Bangladeshis always want to run to Pakistan or China. Why don't we work to set up our own capabilities? True, we may may cooperate with other countries which don't kill our citizens on a daily basis, but I see some people hating India so much...

This is great news for Turkey, in the long term. You don't face any immediate threats, and this refusal will force you to develop your own industries. That means that a lot of Turks will now have the experience of designing and building UAV's. This surely will be a good thing. You should be...

No other Muslim country has such laws. Not even Iran or KSA. They may have it in theory, but you never hear anyone being prosecuted for frivolous reasons, like in Pakistan.

And what "persecutions" do Hindus face in Bangladesh? Are they forbidden from building temples? Are they banned from getting jobs? Is there any blasphemy law being abused against them? Could some Indian member enlighten me as to what persecutions Hindus face, for which they cannot go to the...

You're right. A state in which everyone is treated equally, but is based on Islamic cultural values, is the only way forward for Muslim countries. Just like how, for example, England is a 'secular' state based on Christian values, there is nothing evil in itself on a democratic state which has...

These people are are a cancer. They are eating Pakistan from the inside. It seems unbelievable to me that there are so many defending them. If you don't do something about it NOW then you have no chance to survive at all. You will become another Somalia, where rival warlords kill each other...

this "pathetic community" were also the leading businessmen and entrepreneurs of our country. Even today, the largest companies in Bangladesh have been founded by Muslim non-Bengalis. As a patriotic Bangladeshi I salute this "pathetic community" for their contribution to the economy of our...

as i was saying in another thread, no matter how much we bangladeshis sing and dance about independence, we have to face some facts: 1. Before independence there were many industries, which were then destroyed, not by pakistanis, but by sheikh mujib and his corruption and mismanagement. 2...

Bangladesh has not prospered. After independence, Sheikh Mujib with his socialist policies totally destroyed the country from top to bottom. All industries, universities, etc. were destroyed due to his and his party's mismanagement and corruption. Of course, after his rapist nephew raped some...

Around the world, Muslims may gradually become more and more secular in some areas, however, when a great crisis comes, they turn to Islam and become more religious. I don't support the Chechens anymore after they started bombing civillians and carrying out terrorist attacks. Why don't they...

that is their definition of religious freedom. religious freedom to, say, depict the Prophet (PBUH) as a terrorist, but not to build a mosque. that is the freedom that they want to force down our throats. Freedom to follow just exactly what they order us to do. Freedom to replace our culture...

what's their benefit in doing this?

Yes, there are some people who like the West so much that they would sell their own mothers to them. However, our own mullahs with their extremism and habit of calling for the death of someone every few days also makes Islam look bad. A caliphate does not have to include any Mullahs. It can be a...
