Question for @madx, @ShadowFaux and @DURJOY. Do you three acknowledge that clearly all major media outlets in BD are blatantly anti-Jamaat and/or pro-AL? And that the rest of the media outlets are either shutdown or harassed leaving us with only one-sided news?

* Take advantage of past political blunders and constantly remind peole about them * Spread lies about opposition based on shaky evidence for years * Years later, set up a pre-planned trial * Give death sentence to a small figure * Give life sentence to a larger figure, this should enrage...

You brought up a good point. I've read your post and I agree with you on what you said about our people. In my defence I would like to say that I guess I misworded what I wanted to say. Yes, our Bangladeshi culture is from our distinct Muslim Bengali culture, but I'm sure you and I can both...

Think of it like this, if the party was fully Islamic, would people then vote for them because of that? No, they wouldn't. Our society today is very far from Islamic culture, laws and policies; most people have bits and pieces of an Islamic daily life (jummah, eid, ramadan, and prayer once or...

1. Muslim communities in India are Muslim and will also remain Muslim 2. A important part of my argument is that Bangladesh is bordered by India from three sides: east, north, and west. Is that the case for Nepal? 3. Assumption 2: we are disregarding the complexities of Bangladesh joining...

@Loki Lol, I didn't mean these protests are going to be enough to ban Islamic parties. But I got what you're trying to say. :)

We are a country situated in an area where we have India to our east, north and west. More so, our western border is with the state of West Bengal; this state is home to 91 million Bengalis (Assumption 1: we are disregarding the presence of other ethnicities). Since these protests are putting...

@DURJOY I was being sarcastic. :P

He is a well known raza-kaar.

In a hypotheitical situation, I wonder what AL would do next after destroying Jamaat/crippling the opposition. What can they use to gain votes after the issue of raza-kaars is done and all have been executed or jailed for life? (In said hypothetical situation) How long do the pharaohs...

I wonder how far this is going to all go and how it will end. These protests went from anti-war crimes to anti-Jamaat/Shibir to anti-Jamaat related businesses, TV stations, banks (Islami Bank which, IIRC, is one of the strongest banks in Bangladesh) to anti-religion based politics to...

The ship looks quite nice! The name is not an issue; (disregarding AL tendencies) there is nothing wrong with Bengali culture/Bangla as long as it does not go against Islam. But other than that, if they go and start naming ships "Bangabandhur haath/paa/etc", then that could be an issue. Lol.

I wasn't trying to idealize Jamaat; only wanted you to tell me your opinion on that matter and you did just that. Thank you.

This is truly a wonderful expose you have begun here. (A little sarcasm, nothing personal) Now care to share your sources? Also, in your opinion, who would you say would be a more proper representative of Bangladeshi Muslims than JeI? Please answer because I'm especially curious to know since...

@hinduguy You see, the thing is that Islam is a religion that encompasses one's life from start finish; it encompasses our lives from all aspects and angles. Thus, the meaning of Islam is submission (to God and His will). Islam tells us how to lead our lives as individuals and as a society; it...

Once again, attacking me instead of my argument. Go read up on some logic fallacies when you have time. - I am not the master of anything, nor did I claim to be. I merely stated the reality of things and put my personal POV into it. - I did not "blast" the Bangladeshi government. - I...

I was born in in Canada, my parents immigrated here in the early 90s. I did not place myself here. And even Islamically, I'm/was not obliged to leave this country the moment my savings reach the exact amount I need for aplane ticket down to the last cent. You and I very well know that even if...

Well, to be honest, Muslims are not supposed to live in non-Muslim lands without necessity or for the purpose of giving da'wah. This is why a lot of the Muslims that are living in non-Muslim countries are from poorer countries originally as they have come here for a better livelihood. It's a...

To answer the both paragraphs: I see your point and it is shameful to hear how he has been treated. But at the same time, as Muslims in today's world, we are not supposed to be nationalists as nationalism goes against Islam. This is not to say that Muslims should throw away their passports and...

Ridiculing ejazR should not be done, but of course, refuting him in a civilized matter should not be a problem. If you ask me, from what I've seen, India seemss to be the kind of state where if one is not either pro-Hindu, radically pro-India he is a traitor. Or if one sees himself as a Muslim...
