1. Ignore Loki (Zabaniya) and his/her misinformation. He/She is the same person who said he/she thinks that his/her father is a homosexual, "gay".
I am not Assamese but Sylheti and not even from the Sylhet division but the actual real Sylhet district itself i.e. not Molvi Bazar Sunamgonj.
2. In our area, Sylhet proper (i.e. Sylhet district of the wider Sylhet division) a few would not consider Habigonjis (which is where I think Al-Zakir claims to be from) as real Sylhetis anyway.
3. Ignore Al-Zakir's claim to speak for Sylhet. Sylhet hates rezakars and Jamatis like the rest of the country. Colonel Osmani (rahimahuAllah was a Sylheti from Sylhet proper like me, i.e. Golapganj afaik) and Jamatis have very little support. They have more support in Chittagong where recently they organized a hartal, but they can't do the same in Sylhet. Also Al-Zakir often speaks as if all Bangladeshis hold his views when he in fact is known on this forum as an anti-Hindu militant who swears and abuses people's families.
As you just saw now he is calling people "bedeen" (no religion/religion-less/anti-religion for non-Bengalis).
Jamatis have 4.6% support in Bangladesh as a whole and probably even that small percentage is less in Sylhet itself.
Ask Sylheti, @
iajdani for more info about this.
Jamat's 2 seats came from Chittagong.

The link above has the results for the 2008 elections. Here the seats in the parliament are by Division.
Barisal: Awami League 16, BNP 2,
Jamat 0
Chittagong ("Chottogram"): Awami League 32, BNP 18,
Jamat 2
Dhaka: Awami League 87, BNP 0,
Jamat 0
Rajshahi: Awami League 49, BNP 8,
Jamat 0
Khulna: Awami League 30, BNP 2, Jamat 0
Now for Sylhet, my home region and the most Islamic and conservative region in the entire country even more than Chittagong and where Al-Zakir claims that he is "from".
Sylhet: Awami League 17,
BNP 0,
Jamat 0
Forget about loser Jamatis whom no one likes and who have found a refuge here in PDF, even the right wing BNP got no seats.
Even though I don't like them that much the Awami League has strong support in Sylhet.
Chittagong is the strongest area for right-wing and Islamic parties (Jamat is a pseudo-Islamic party and not a legitimate one like Khilafah Majlis).

Contrarian and others I want you to pay attention to this because Al-Zakir often claims that Sylhet is this and Sylhet is that, whereas the real world shows Sylhetis are totally different from his false claims.
We Sylhetis hate rezakars and Jamat (their stronghold is in Chittagong) despite being the most Islamic region in Bangladesh and we do not want in any way to be thought of as pro-Jamat (astaghifrullah).
