DHAKA – Trials of Islamist leaders on alleged charges of war crimes and constitutional amendments that eliminated the state principles of absolute trust and faith in Allah are sparking accusations against the Bangladeshi government of “de-Islamizing” the country and turning it into a secular state.

“The present secular government has been attacking Islam to satisfy leftist and secular groups,” AHM Abdul Kader, coordinator of Dhaka-based Center for Study of Peace and Security (CSPS), told OnIslam.net.

“Government has turned itself into a police state and is harassing the opposition and particularly the Islamic forces and parties in order to create a safe haven for the growth of atheist and secularist forces.”

Bangladesh has been in turmoil over the trial of Islamist leaders on alleged war crimes during the 1971 independence war.

Tension further escalated over postings by bloggers seen as defaming Islam and Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him).

The turbulence also followed constitutional amendments that eliminated the state principles of absolute trust and faith in Allah the Almighty.

Abdul Kader opines that the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is trying to eliminate Islamic forces and leaders by trying them on alleged war crimes during the independence war.

Professor Mujahidul Islam, a senior teacher at Dhaka University, shares a similar opinion.

“The government has dealt a serious blow to the majority of Muslims by eliminating the state principles of absolute trust and faith in the Almighty from the constitution,” he said.

He believes that the incumbent government has given itself up to a secularist group deeply engaged in conspiring against Islam and Muslims in Bangladesh.

He thinks that an atheist and leftist quarter within the government has now the upper hand to “de-Islamize” the country through infusion of fragmentation and conflicts.

Mujahidul Islam, a former chairman of the finance department of Dhaka University, describes government attempt to ban Islamic politics in Bangladesh as “undemocratic and unconstitutional”.

He says this type of thinking and decision will generate bad effects and cause disunity, hostility and disorder in the country.

De-Islamization

Many Bangladeshis believe that the government of Sheikh Hasina is actively working to “de-Islamize” the Asian Muslim country.

“The very act of eliminating the constitutional provision of absolute trust and faith of Allah is a big conspiracy against Bangladesh and Muslims,” Rawshan Ara Swapna, a writer and former student of political science at Dhaka University, told OnIslam.net.

“Their target is to turn Bangladesh into a secularist country.”

She agrees that the aim of the war crimes trials is to abolish Islam and the Islamic movement from Bangladesh in order to satisfy secular and communist forces.

“But they wouldn’t see success in this country as the third largest Muslim country,” she stressed.

Golam Mostafa Bhuiyan, general secretary of Bangladesh NAP, an opposition party, agrees.

“The present Awami League government has created conflict and clash in Bangladesh by eliminating the state principles of absolute trust and faith in the Almighty Allah as enshrined in the Bangladeshi constitution,” he told OnIslam.net.

He believes that attempts to reinstitute secularism in the constitution would be a big mistake by the government.

“The present government is itself a party to a conspiracy to make Bangladesh a non-religious country.”

Mohammad Mustafijur Rahman, a businessman, shares a similar opinion.

“Elimination of the trust and faith of Allah from the Bangladeshi constitution by the Awami League government would not be acceptable to Muslims and it was a cruel onslaught on Islamic values,” he told OnIslam.net.

He believes that the government move to replace iman (faith) with secularism in the constitution would be rejected by Muslims of Bangladesh.

“Bangladeshi Muslims will resist all moves toward de-Islamization of Bangladesh by present secular government’s conspiracy insallah.”

Bangladesh is the world’s third-largest Muslim majority nation with a population of some 148 million.

Kelamist tried to de-islamize turkey for 80 years through violent dictatorship and brutality but utterly failed. Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia all suffered similar extremist secular dictatorship and attempt of removing Islam from the social fabric. Awami-leftist scums are not as strong as kelamist IMO and like all other normuds and pharaohs they will also fail as well.

The right question is 'who' is trying to de-islamize Bangladesh?
 
.
Dont know about de-islamization, but de humanization is surely on the way.

Both Islamic parties and the leftists have de-humanized countries such as bangladesh.

Killing people in the name of religion or political beliefs is just inhumane.

the country suffers.

Bharat mata :lol:

Ghosts of the past come to bite back?

My take: De-islamization attempts have failed in Turkey,Iran,Egypt,Syria,Tunisia. The result is known already, the enemies just want chaos and more Moslem blood nothing else. The enemy lives in a fallacy that by projecting,destabilization as a state objective in Moslem states will allow it to, turn them into subservient sub states....the enemy doesn't realize that a true Moslem cannot be a true,capitalist,a true communist, a true secularist,and a true slave. He can only be oppressed for a limited period of time....he will punch back.

Ghosts of past been haunting for quite some time now.

No, they want control over our land. Muslim Hindus don't matter. Power is all they wish for. Not surprising though as all the big nations want to be regional top dog and for that, they need significant "friendship" with its neighbour. Making Bangladesh unstable helps India is every way possible so it is quite obvious.

They haven't learned anything from history which means there is another lesson for them in store. We may not see it as a Moslim,Hindu thing, new dehli the self styled champion of S.Asia does. They themselves are building ground for smaller states in S.Asia to team up and deal with the bully together.

Unfortunately the last standing anti-India faction are the Islamists so yes, taking of Islamic politics do serve well for their interests.

Historically,whoever has tried to do this in the past has failed. Whoever has confronted them has failed.
