After Rash of Islamist Killings, Bangladesh High Court Considers Eliminating Islam as State Religion

[genmirajborgza786]

So reducing an Islamic country to a secular country is a way to go?

Strange enough, that Bangladesh was created on the basis of linguistic nationalism. So linguistic nationalism and secularism holds higher values than being a Muslim. This is really way to go!

Strange ?
I don't Think so , Well you know if these are your views on Statehood then err... what are you doing in a secular country like Canada ? Hey i mean after all you came from a country that was made on a particular Ideologue on Religion , namely the "Two Nation Theory" , so if that was so perfect & not so strange , as you call it , then why go to Secular Canada eh? Now that's what i call Strange

The very concept of a state religion is outdated. This move will be welcomed by your neighbouring countries. But I doubt it will happen.

Why make unnecessary fuss by irking the religious hubris?
Everything is going as they want,why test the luck by irritating already religiously sensual population?
And what if the opposition decide to attend the next election?why give them a card to play?

Perhaps you are right. However, this party has a history of deception. Government founded Islamic foundation did not exist before 1971. Horse race was banned in 1972. Sheikh Mujib also revoked licenses to sell alcohol. Former East Pakistan was big time secular in nature than today's Bsnhladesh. Same applies to Pakistan though. Religious bigotry was introduced in Pakistan by Zia ul Haq. He then destroyed Afghanistan forever.

When Muslim countries voluntarily tries to become a secular country they turn into Syria, Iraq, Libya etc. for GAZAB falls on them. Muslim government in Turkey is trying its best to get rid of secularism as fast as possible.

Bangladesh's secularism is a gift of Turks since the period of sultans.

They failed because religious bigots jumped in.

Then why is Buddhism your state religion? More than that, nothing moves, begins or ends without formal blessings of priests - accompanied by showering gifts on these parasites.

This is tolerance for all religions since Islam considers human beings created as Muhterem (magnificent). It teaches us to be respectful to everyone's belief and customs and personal/family laws no matter how different it is from ours. Hence, no South America or Spain like incidents of mass slaughter or conversions took place in the Balkans or Hindistan. Western style secularism interferes with religious beliefs.

Bangladesh should remove either secularism or state religion from its constitution. Its so funny to be a secular state with an official state religion. Its contradictory. Either become Islamic country or secular country.

Yes that is the idea, revert to original lifestyle of the land of tolerance different from western ideology. Also it was a mad ideology propagated from Pak to interfere into people's lifestyle we are trying to get rid of.

Does the word GAZAB implies Millî İstihbarat Teşkilatı, MİT and it's collusion with Al Nusra and ISIS ?

100 percent haqq.

Let Hasina drop the official religion. She will see the outcome, I can say hand on my heart it is going to turn ugly for her.

These are all unstable countries in an unstable region. They cannot be compared to Bangladesh.

Western style secularism interferes with religious beliefs.

Says the one living in a Western country right now.

We don't have a state religion.

It would be a good move and welcome, and further indication of the strides being taken increasingly off late by Bangladesh as its aspirational population strives to lose the tag of the pygmy of the subcontinent.

It might even pave the way for an eventual reunification with the motherland.

I thought Hindus did not want an Akhand Bharat anymore?
