1) AL's definition of Bangalism is very weired. A person has a name and his family name. This identifies hm very correctly. Likewise, a group of people have ethnicity as well as religion. Why does AL think it is a sin for a person to identiy himself a Hindu, a Muslim or a Buddhist? To Humayun Azad type of people it is more fashionable to think themselves only as Bangalis, because it pleases AL leadership and its counterpart in Kolkata.
In the historical time until partition of India or upto 1971, the muslims of this region were generally either called 'Musalmans', 'Musalmans of Bengal' or 'Banglar Musalman.' But, they were never regarded as just 'Bangali.' On the other hand, Hindus of this region called and regarded themselves as Bangali and us as just Muslims (not even Bangali Muslims).
During liberation war we never debated about this identity of 'Bangali Muslims.' But, by intention AL started to chiesel out this Muslim identity to just a single word 'Bangali' identity. This is a disguise to make our country a part of greater India. If we lose Muslim identity, it is easy for the ALs to misguide us to join west Bengal that by extension makes us Indian again.
So, Humayun Azad type of stupids are making fun of our identity to take out our fearsome muslim identity to make the remaining identity compatible with the identity of west Bengalis and by extension to Indianism.
2) Beard has nothing to do with a religion except Sikhism. Why did you make a stupid point out of beard?
3) A moderate Islam, and not Talibanism or atheism, is what has been preached and followed in Bangladsh since 1947. Today, 69% or more people are educated as a result of this. However, the recent muslim reaction is against the AL policy of misguiding us towards atheism in the name of a singular identity of Bangalism. When the country gets rid of this atheists it will again go back to its usual form of a moderate muslim identity. In fact, it still remains so.
L [MEetNTION=138045]madx[/MENTION] remain an atheist, because it is his personal choice. But, the country should not allow you to propagate atheism through electronics apparatus.
