Bangladeshi Muslims protest state-sponsored blasphemy (?)

Offensive comments about Allah and the Prophet (peace be upon him) made by the

organizers of the Shahbag movement stirring up protests throughout Bangladesh

Demonstrations at Shahbagh square of Dhaka championed by online activists backed by ruling

party have seen thousands take to the streets for the last two weeks demanding the execution

of Jamaat leaders accused of war-crime during 1971 war of independence from Pakistan.

This hate is being created not only against Jamaate Islami, Shibir (the Islamic student

organization) and other Islamist parties the organizers of this state sponsored programme are

carrying out an anti-Islamic propaganda behind the demand for hanging war criminals.

Offensive comments about Allah and the Prophet (peace be upon him) made by the organizers

of the Shahbag movement stirring up heated debates.

Different Islamic scholars, Political and Islamic parties have expressed their concern over anti-

Islamic activities through blog and other online-based social networks. They demanded arrest

of the bloggers who are involved in anti-Islamic activities, stopping of anti-Islamic blogs and

other websites and enactment of Blasphemy Law to check hurting religious sentiments.

On February 22, 2013 hundreds of thousands Muslim demonstrators protest contemptuous

comments on Prophet Muhammad on Friday in Dhaka and other major cities in Bangladesh.

Their protests turn out violent when police obstruct them. Massive clash broke out between

the law enforcers and the protesters.

Police open fires to disperse the protesters, lobbed hundreds of rounds of tear shell carried

massive baton charge. In responding, the agitated protesters hurl bricks to the law enforcers.

Two deaths were reported from western Jhinaidah and northeaster Sylhet, two others died in

northwestern Gaibandha.

In Dhaka, the violence broke out outside the Baitul Mukarram national mosque, where the

protesters also attacked around a dozen journalists.

Several worshippers were trapped inside the mosque as police tried to thwart the protest by

locking the gates. Police later detained more than 100 people from the spot.

Startling information was revealed in investigation on the blogs run by the so-called state sponsored

bloggers:

Thaba Baba Blog

Ahmed Rajib Haiders blog, under the pseudo name Thaba Baba, who was recently brutally murdered

by unidentified killers on Friday night, contains contents that will make a reader shiver with horror. The

offensive anti-Islamic blog entries of the blogger are stirring up the online community.

Haiders blog (www.nuranichpa.wordpress.com/author/thabababa/) contains articles titled Mod O

Mohammak (Liquor and Mohammak)( note he wrote Mohammak instead of Muhammad. In Bangla

Ahammak means foolish.), Hera Guha (The Hera Cave), and other highly offensive writings about Allah,

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and Islam written in the most obscene language and cursing.

In these writings Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is being called Mohammak (Nauzubillah).

Allahs name was cursed and mocked in the most disgusting manners. The holy wives of the Prophet

were called names, which are impossible for us to reproduce here.

After Khadiza caught Muhammok red handed he was made to refrain from food and the slave girls for a

making him (not suitable for printing) anuses. You would treat him inhumanely just because he is Allah?

Shame!!

The synopsis:

If god desires to (not suitable for printing), then he prefers the poor mans (not suitable for printing)

A third interpretation:

Since god was created for the benefit of the powerful, that naturally made him the enemy of the weak.

So what is being said here is not incorrect, neither can we fault god.

Arifur Rahmans Blog

Expatriate Bangladeshi living in England, one of the leaders of the International Crimes Strategy Forum,

and a leading online activist for the death penalty of war criminals Arifur Rahman wrote in his blog:

This post proves that all the Chagu are sleeping there is no one to counter the

movement..Everyone is having (not suitable for printing) with Allah.

He wrote in another post I think the whole thing about Allah was made up by Muhammad.Schizophrenic Muhammad used to hallucinate that Gabriel came to him. So he made up the story of

Allah and created Izlam. This is the true story of Allah. (Nauzubillah)

Tamanna Jhumus posting

Shahbag blogger Tamanna Jhumu wrote the

following poem:

By the eternal mercy of Allah

Allama Syedee is in prison.

Soon he will be hanged

Will Allah descend from the seventh heaven to

save him?

Another blogger Rana commented on Jhumus poem (See picture on top)saying: Allah will be hanged

too if he comes down. (Nauzubillah)

State sponsored Islam-phobia or Blasphemy?

We have observed by visiting Shahbag that many symbols of Islam are being ridiculed at Shahbag. Many

banners and cartoons are being hanged and dramas are being acted ridiculing Islam and its many

symbols such as beard, kufi, and the Friday khutba (the Friday sermon).

Unfortunately the Shahbagh drama staged by the above bloggers is being sponsored by ruling partys

students and young supporters. Not only had that almost all influential leader of ruling party coalition

government attended the gathering to show their support for the so-called social movement of the

bloggers. All the government agencies are giving logistic supports to make this 24/7 side-down program

in a busiest intersection of the city of Dhaka by providing food, electricity toilet facilities.

Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited Haiders home on Saturday and named Haidar as

Shahid (a termed used for martyrs of Islam). Shajib Wajed Joy, the son of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina,

took part in the Namaz-e-Janaja of an atheist Haider.

Never in the history of Bangladesh atheist personalities could publicly showed their face and expressed

their offensive comments about Allah and the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the name of social

revolution or freedom of expression.

This time it happened and could happened under the umbrella of a so-called secular government

whose strength lies on foreign support and backing of their coalition (left-wing) partners.

Should we call it State-sponsored Islam-phobia or Blasphemy?

This is how police behaved with 12 Islamist party activists protesting against anti-Islamic activities in Dhaka

February 22, 2013.
