As a Bangladeshi, I don't think he could do what he did if East Pakistan was an Indian colony back then. This job simply wouldn't exist because the identity of sovereign-Pakistan was Muslim and allowing some of our pilots to volunteer for our Arab brothers was a little more obvious, the identity...
long reply..
tbh i did not give two hoots about family background when i was a teenager. i thought about marrying a girl based on attractiveness, not even thinking much if she had the personality to make a good wife and mother. as i got older and more in tune with our culture, family background...
Someone: Hitler, why are you putting Jews in camps?
Hitler: wth this is 1940 ok!
where does this fascination for placing women in traditionally male fields come from? like seriously?
i'll probably agree some value is attached to women's medical background in the Bangladesh and Pakistani...
this is inhumane and barbaric.
since 1969, there were Bengali nationalists (terrorists) that were routinely carrying out wanton violence, arson, looting and murders. by 1971, these amounted to clear genocides. Chittagong, Narayanganj, Khulna and Jessore are notable examples of such where the...
no "fiery sermon" is banned. only those that question government's interests or those of its stakeholders are. and Islamically, controlling speech in this manner is simply wrong. any speech that is Islamic and deemed not wrong in the deen by ulama can and should be made. there is no direct link...
that is factually not correct. the number of Turkic soliders under Bakhtiyar Khilji numbered in the thousands with most accepted count of around 10,000. if you want sources, can provide.
you are right though that nothing near the main force was required to topple Lakhsman Sena in Nadia, the...
Hindus and Muslims all over the subcontinent might look indistinguishable. Muslims have Buddhist and lower caste Hindu ancestries from Bangladesh to Afghanistan.
it still does not at all refute the statement that Muslims and Hindus are different ethnic communities.
p.s. there are Anglo-Indians...
before 1947, Hindus were oppressing. but after 1947, you are saying West Pakistanis started oppressing??
Hindu domination grew in this land for almost 200 years. are you saying, to get rid of it is as easy as demarcating a border and paperwork?
Hindu domination remained in East Pakistan in...
Israel is another word for a violent Zionist occupation of Palestine. it is far from being a Jewish state. first think about 'correcting' slanders against the Zionist occupation made by poeple in your country United States.
so it's either an Arab country or a Hindutva one? your choice and...
technically you are illegal in Bangladesh too - if you also say Muslims who migrated from today's India are illegal in Bangladesh.
people like Rain Man's family moved to West Bengal because their zamindari days and days of exploiting uneducated Muslims were coming to an end. after 1971, 'they'...
it's a fact Turkic (not today's Turkish), Mongols, Afghans, Persians, Abyssinians besides lower caste Hindus, Buddhists and tribals form ancestry of Bengal's Muslims. that stands regardless of who you associated some Bangladeshi Muslim day labourers with.
instead try telling a gulf Arab person...
the concept of Muslims and Hindus of Bengal being one ethnicity is nonsense.
the definitions of being Hindu and Muslim of Bengal are different. being Hindu Bengali has had a more purist definition of nativity to Bengali-speaking regions and association with the Brahmin Bengali language.
being...
it's surprising you are now trying to judge by individual actions of the victims, that they never harmed anyone.
this thread and the NYT article started off broadly addressing "liberal secular" activists, not individual persons. and i maintained addressing them that way, as i tried to point out...
Western conservatives and Western liberals/anti-theists both hate other religions, cultures or other value systems in their separate ways.
there are those Westerners in the middle who are against the Crusade to take over the world and the ongoing episode of attacking Muslims.
also do some...
