I agree with OP, Bengali or Bangla has significant Hindu influence and apparently it is blasphemous for a pure Muslim to express himself through a "Hindu" language. But I think a "Musalmani Bangla" would be an eyewash, a compromise, Bangladeshis should completely ban Bangla and opt for Urdu.
I am sure @Anubis would also love to call himself Urdudeshi, @BDforever would have to change his user name to UDforever though.
Why not go the whole hog and just start speaking Arabic?
Anything else will always be a compromise.
That would be an excellent development, as a non-Muslim Iran will no longer be helping Shia Arabs destabilize the Sunni majority Arab world. Good riddance I should say.
I can only say that you have not thought through the consequences of your wish.
And not for the first time.
And in my post I never mentioned that Bangla should add Persian Nastaliq script or loan words, you should go back and read them, the languages I explicitly mentioned are modern Arabic (not classical) and English, for both scripts and loan words. Crisis or not, our identity is our business, pure and simple. We will deal with it in a way that seems fit to us.
As for conversion, all Muslims, including our Prophet (SAWS) himself was converted, down to each and every other Muslim and their future generations. So all Muslims have non-Muslim ancestors.
The problem is more acute for non Arabic converts. For them it is a double whammy.
I have seen many Arabs realize as well that the Pre Islamic Arabia was more sophisticated and tolerant in many ways (especially in its treatment of women) if one discounts the many obvious fabrications.
