Now, Islam is on a rendezvous course with Lt. General Moinul Islam (LGMI), the number two in BD Army, touted to become the number one in June when the current Chief of Staff's 3 year contract expires. Someday a Bangladeshi poet may write, 'Moinu tuney Moinu kia bhai'. But, we cannot wait for the poet and so we need to look at Moinul Islam more closely, now.
Moinul Islam or Moin al Islam, means someone who provides charitable help to the cause of Islam. Let us examine and see what Moinul Islam has on offer. Is Moinul Islam going to live up to his name, the name that his parents so lovingly chose for him, or is he going to provide charitable help to anti-Islamic causes and become a de facto 'Moin al Anti-Islam', in the same sense as Anti-Christ is to Christianity?
LGMI addressed a gathering of civil and army officers organised by a Bangladeshi think tank called Centre for Security and Development Studies (CSDS) on 23 January 2012. Moinul Islam began his address by identifying himself as a 'pious' person. Then LGMI began an academic labelling exercise by picking terminologies circulating in the vernacular press, to apply them on Bangladeshi Muslims. He has decided to label the Muslims of Bangladesh into certain categories. Basically, he categorised Muslims into 'acceptable' and 'unacceptable' categories. He has kindly decided to include the following categories of Muslims into his 'acceptable'category or 'pious' category: Dharma Praan (God loving), Dharma Parayan (practicing religion), Dharma Bhiru (pious, god-fearing).
Then he announced three more categories from his bag, the 'unacceptable': Dharmio Gora (dogmatist), Dharmandho (zealots) and Dharma Baboshayee (someone who exploits religion for something sinister).
LGMI followed this by emphasising that, "In the army, we can accept Dharma Praan and Dharma Parayan, and if we can impart some knowledge to those who are Dharma Bhiru, they too can come along with the first two layers."
Moinul Islam then goes on to clarify that on the basis of the Secular Constitution of Bangladesh "no one will intervene in the religion of others." Moinul Islam has failed to realise that when he embarked on this 'Operation Identify and Label', he himself was in fact interfering in the religion of the Muslim citizens of Bangladesh! A religion to which he thinks he belongs. From the message in his speech one can see that he as a, 'Dharma Parayan' Muslim (he claims to be one) has the right to categorise other Muslims into: Dharma Bhiru, Dharmo Gora and Dharmo Baboshayee. Then he wants carry out a purging or cleansing operation inside the Bangladesh Army and purge all the Muslim army officers he considers to be unacceptable. We need to consider how acceptable is such a proposition to the majority of the Muslims of Bangladesh?
No Muslim can accept that a Dharmo Bhiru Muslim will dare question the wisdom of Allah (swt) and have no fear of Allah (swt). Is Moinul Islam constructing a new dictionary as well? Or is he afraid of some power i.e. Bharat Bhiru or Hindu Bhiru or Obama Bhiru? Definitely Moinul Islam is not Allah Bhiru. Can anyone be a Muslim and not be an Allah Bhiru?
What Moinul Islam should do, is simply go back to the Army GHQ and do some homework, otherwise he himself will be given the proper label that he deserves and that will not serve the cause of anyone living inside this most densely populated country in the world with a population 160 million. If Moinul insists on carrying out the brief that has been handed to him by those who 'Bangal kay High Courter Bhoy Dekhaey' ('showing Bengalees the High Court' a common expression in Bangladesh), then Bangladesh will spiral down in a ghastly scenario of bloody civil war. We have seen a civil war in 1971, and we do not need another one now.
If Moinul wants to apply the Secularist-inspired labels on Bangladeshi Muslims, then he ought to remember, Muslims too will reply by labelling the civilian gazetted officers, commissioned military officers and politicians, with the Islamic terminologies that applies to each one of them. Under a proper and strict Islamic classification system, universally accepted in the Muslim world, many of them will be re-classified as Mushriks (those who associate others with Allah (swt)), Munafeks (hypocrites) and Murtads (apostates). Even some of the Munafek Mullahs who serve the Mushriks and Murtads will face the prospect of appropriate Islamic labelling. It will open the Pandora's Box and push Bangladesh into a long and vicious Neo-civil-war: The dream-come-true-scenario for the Baniyas, Baboos and Raw-wallahs. As a responsible army officer it is the duty of Moinul Islam to prevent such a civil war in Bangladesh, and not promote one actively.
Americans Marines in Kabulistan likes to entertain themselves by pissing on dead Muslim fighters, what Moin is doing may be construed as spitting venom on live Muslim soldiers to entertain his Neo-paymaster. That India now controls Bangladesh is no news. Ex-CSP, and now Finance Minister, Abul Maal Muhith, like the canary in Victorian coal mines, could not help blurting out that the sovereignty of Bangladesh has been curtailed to make room for Indian encroachment! The Bangladeshi Intellectuals are so intoxicated with 'Shadhinotar Chetona', that they do not even notice that Shadhinota is getting whittled away! They are in no mood to quit the cocktail parties at the Indian High Commission. They believe in 'khelaram kheley jaa.'
In this alarming environment, it is no surprise that some Bangladeshi analysts have lost their nerves and bearings, and are beginning to ask the wrong kind of questions. By asking the wrong questions, they end up seeking solutions in the wrong locations. On 24 January, Farhad Mazhar wrote, "My proposition is that indeed we do have an 'Islam-question'. Questions of this genre were first asked in Europe and the question was the well-known 'Jewish Question'. European Christian majority countries never had to pose the 'Christian Question'. This type of questions is always applied to a minority population, never to the majority population.
The very fact that Farhad Mazhar has to raise such an odd question is a very telling indicator of the dire and bankrupt political and intellectual condition inside Bangladesh today. If such a question is to be posed at all in Bangladesh, it should be the 'Hindu Question' and not the 'Muslim Question'. The Hindus of Bangladesh in cahoots with the anti-Islamic Muslims (an oxymoronic term) are hacking away at the sovereignty of Bangladesh in a piecemeal, but concerted, fashion. Only Abul Maal Muhith, like the canary in the coal mine was able to sense it. Abul Maal Muhith seems to be the only cabinet canary who still suffers from 'Shaadhinotar Chetona'. But, even that was not enough to stop Abul Maal Muhith from digging for more coal: He is still in the cabinet and would rather drop dead like the canary in the coal mine than stop digging for coal.
O' Moinul Islam, be Moinul Islam for the sake of Allah (swt) and do not be a Moinul Anti-Islam. What Moinul Islam does not realise is that by planning to rid Bangladesh of the ghosts of Hizbut Tahrir, he himself will become Moinushaitan and will be joining Hizbushaitan. O Moinul Islam! Does the Holy Quran mean anything to you? Did you not swear by the Holy Quran when you pledged to serve the people of Bangladesh? Moinul Islam, it is time to say no to India or the brave and courageous Muslims of Bangladesh will occupy the cantonments and liberate them from all evil hegemonic designs. Remember Bhasani? Do not drive Bangladesh into producing Titu Mir's, Sher Ali's and Abdullah's.

. BNP and Jamaat is close to bringing down the strongest government in the history of Bangladesh, getting rid of an unelected power will not be that difficult.
