Jamaat men torch Hindu temple, houses in Noakhali

[Joe Shearer]

Even if the news is true just one instance of setting fire on a temple and on some houses in Noakhali doesn't mean Hindus all over BD are targeted.

And what is the difference between what you have said and the headline?

‘Islam and Jamaat not the same thing’
Secretary General of the Khelafat Majlis Ahmad Abdul Quader on Monday said that Islam and Jamaat-e-Islami should not be seen as the ‘same thing’.

The top leader of the party, which in conjunction with 11 other small outfits launched a protest programme after Friday’s prayers against ‘anti-Islam activities’ of the organisers of the Shahbagh movement, urged everybody to ‘sincerely’ reflect on the subject so as to find an answer by themselves using their ‘senses and conscience’.

“Jamaat-e-Islami and Islam are not the same thing. I beg you (journalists) not to equate one with the other,” Abdul Quader told a press conference at the party headquarters in Bijoy Nagar.

Quader also clarified that he did not disagree with the demand of the Shahbagh protesters that the war crimes convicts be given death, but ‘strictly’ opposed ‘blogging against Islam, Islamic thinkers and experts on Islamic laws’.

Twelve small parties have set up a platform to counter the Shahbagh movement that is demanding death for war criminals and a ban on Jamaat for crimes it perpetrated against humanity during 1971.

Khelafat Majlis organised the press conference to clear its stance

A day before the press conference, the party’s Assistant Secretary General Mujibur Rahman Hamidi said, “It is out of question to unite with Jamaat. Even Awami League does not hate Jamaat as much as we do.”

“We know where Jamaat contradicts Islam. We understand it with our heart.”

He also said they were not against the Shahbagh movement.

“But we are against those bloggers who are making Islam and Alems controversial.”

Last Friday’s programme turned out to be violent, with demonstrators demolishing replicas of the Ganajagaran Mancha, built in solidarity with the Shahbagh protesters, across the country, tearing national flags and setting Shaheed Minar alight.

Their clash with the police left four people dead.

Police and activists of the Shahbagh movement claim that Jamaat-e-Islami and its student front Islami Chhatra Shibir were behind the violence.

“National flag is our pride. Khelafat Majlis strongly condemns defamation of national flag,” said Abdul Quader.

He claimed his party activists were not involved in Friday’s violence.

“Khelafat Majlis did not do it. But some intruders might have done this.”

He requested journalists to report what was truth.

It was also demanded from the press conference that the Muslims and Alems arrested after the violence be released and the cases filed against them withdrawn.

Abdul Quader demanded the resignation of the Home Minister for the death of’ five people’ in Manikganj following clashes on Sunday. He also demanded a judicial inquiry into the incident.

There have been a deluge of low-IQ trolls claiming to be Bangladeshis (but suspected to be moles for a neighbouring foreign country's malicious agency) in this forum of late. They appease Indians to no end, spread their party propaganda, they are trying to conduct a 'psy-ops' war (is that what they call this propaganda warfare?), I reckon.

In fact, for a long while, AmarDesh newspaper could not be accessed in Bangladesh today.

Is that the best you can do?

Maybe you need to rephrase your question.

I do not think members of all countries have thanked your posts. The vast majority of foreigners who have thanked you is Indians. That's eerie, but not surprising, if Bangladeshis (the 85-90% majority) think long and hard about.

Please report if you have problem with him getting thanks. So much jealousy just because of a few thanks?

I am not well versed into bangladeshi politics so do correct me but according to radio canada, the Jamat party disagrees with the international tribunal with respect to the court decision. Was there a problem with the trials or mishandling of evidence that is essentially leading to a potent civil war or is it simply a fringe right party looking for attention

 

[EXPERIMENT]

You have not answered the straightforward question.

What are "patriotic people" like you and other Awami Leaguers doing ON A PAKISTANI FORUM?


Pakistan is NOT a friendly country according to you lot afflicted with "1971 consciousness". Answer the question, do not tell me what to do. Just answer the question, stop being a hypocrite.

Are you serious? Allow me to reply on his behalf. The reason is he wants to propagate his own ideas and the forum owners want to make money. Simple answer or do you need it to be spelled out?

Again with the namecallings. Awami-League is supporting it; not organizing it. It has been organized by a bunch of Anti-Awami-Leaguers. Saying the same thing over and over again doesn't make it true.

Don't care much about your threat mate. Take care!

Are you mad or just not particularly well educated? So BAL is just supporting shahbagh you say and the pampered pooches are going to bite the hand that feeds it if BAL misbehaves!!!! What a wonderful world you live in.

And you saw in my post a threat.... My god man what are you smoking....

Unfortunately our conversation must end due to intellectual and deductive nonconvergence. I wish you well.

Grenade on busy road defused
Police have defused a grenade that they spotted on a footpath opposite Ruposhi Bangla Hotel in the capital hours after Jamaat-e-Islami leader Delwar Hossain Sayedee was sentenced to death for his war crimes of 1971. - See more at: Grenade on busy road defused - bdnews24.com



"The bomb was defused by exploding it on the footpath," said Detective Police’s Assistant Commissioner (Bomb Disposal Unit) Sanowar Hossain.

Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Joint Commissioner Monirul Islam said it was not possible to remove from the footpath.

It was around 3pm that police got information about a bomb-like object lying abandoned on the footpath in front of the hotel.

Asked about the type of the grenade, Islam had said, "We can tell you that only after examining its substances."

He said the law keepers had been ordered to stay more alert as the grenade was found near the 'Ganajagaran Mancha' at Shahbagh where the mass agitation have been going on for 24 days now in demand of awarding death sentence to all the convicted war criminals and slapping a ban on the Jamaat-e-Islami.

The grenade was found amid reports of crude bomb explosions elsewhere in the city immediately after the death verdict for Sayedee.

Police also fired blank shots at Matijheel to prevent a gathering of the activists of the Islamist party and its student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir. - See more at: Grenade on busy road defused - bdnews24.com

@RazPaK and @EXPERIMENT , we are so blessed , when india will invade bangladesh we will ask help from Pakistan, when Pakistan invade us , we will ask help from India , thank you guys

Seriously enjoyed the wisdom in your words. Way to go man

 

[Joe Shearer]

Our ancestores converted because Islam was superior to pagan hinduism, and we didnt want to worship lingams like hindus did

So we left the pagans to their fate they deserved

To become the dominant section of the dominant country in the region?

Any more leavings to their fates lying around in the back of your car?

Well the courts already established that however why are they questioning the courts decision, this is a clear disrespect to the laws of land and furthermore bangladaìse consitution, they must have a reason ie. mistrial or something otherwise why would a political party try to create a havoc on innocents.

let me tell you the situation...
1. one party (majority)asking for death sentence of criminals and protesting peacefully when some criminals getting jails.
2. other party (4.6%)wants to stop the judgements, when court gives jail or death sentence, they start violence
