Thoughts
for Bangladeshi Islamists and their Followers
By Bishnu
Dey
Lately, I am seeing the trend
that a great number of Bangladeshis are becoming rabidly anti-Hindu and anti-Indian.
Given that there is little interaction between these two nations
either good or bad, what is the factor that is driving the Bangladeshi
Muslims to be so hateful? I
know large numbers of Bangladeshis come to Kolkata for medical
treatment, and also for general tourism purposes and most of them return
home with pleasant memories. Kolkata
is a liberal city, and people are not discriminated against on the basis
of religion. In fact,
West Bengal
has a stellar record - at least in the past 30 or so years, Muslims have
not been attacked or abused in any manner.
Given that West Bengal also has the second largest Muslim
population among all the States in
India
and most of them will concede that they live in harmony with their Hindu
neighbors. Kolkata is also
the city with the largest concentration of ethnically cleansed Hindus
from
Bangladesh
.
Isn’t it thought
provoking that all the 30 or so millions of displaced Hindus from
Bangladesh/East Pakistan now live in
West Bengal
and they harbor no hatred or ill will against the Muslims even when many
of their co-religionists across the border destroyed their lives, drove
them out of their homes and raped their daughters and wives?
On the other hand, the relatively large segment of Bangladeshi
Muslim population which largely benefited from the spoils left over from
the Hindu Khetao (elimination) movement, are so viciously anti Hindu and
anti Indian. This is even
more remarkable given that
India
sacrificed a lot in assisting
Bangladesh
acquire its independence. I
conclude from this that a large segment of the Bangladeshi population is
falling prey to the Islamists and their propaganda.
Now, there is a difference in being a Muslim and an
Islamist. It would not be
presumptuous to make this distinction that while there might be a
billion plus Muslims in the world, yet the Islamist accolade is only
deserved by the most “learned” among them, who have been able to
miraculously develop a 7th century Arabian Bedouin mindset
living in the 21st century world.
This
is why when Islamist bigots unload their filth in forums and spew their
venom, it is difficult to remain silent and not protest.
Recently there was a piece written by an Islamist who identified
himself as an atheist, had
the audacity to call the Hindus cowards because they left their land of
birth and migrated to India, to save the modesty of their mothers,
wives, sisters and daughters from the attacks of the Islamist goons.
Also we need to ponder what makes the 150 Million Bangladeshis to
remain mum and just casually ignore the horrible crimes day after day,
month after month and year after year.
Isn’t there an element of hypocrisy when large segments of the
same Bangladeshi population clamor to be known for their “tolerance”
and their “secularism”? Who
will give an answer to this?
These same Bangladeshis are not only vocal against the
USA and the western democracies, but are actively participating in every
conceivable manner to systematically misinform the average people into
believing that the people in the west are lacking in family values, to
the extent that entire societies are perverted.
This propaganda is so intense now that a large segment of the
Bangladeshi Muslims have accepted that as a truth and have fallen in
line with the overall direction set by the Islamists spearheaded by the
Jamati Islamists and segments of the BNP.
Whether
one likes or not, the
USA
is the only super power today. It
achieved that status by not chanting the vicious hate-filled Jihadi
suras, but through hard work and perseverance of the people.
If one does not know, let it be told that this country is what it
is because the ordinary Americans are not only hard-working, but they
are honest and they follow the rule of law.
These are the attributes lacking in most non-western countries,
and countries like
Bangladesh
which ranks above all others in corruption.
One the one hand, they pretend to be pious Mosque going people,
while at the same time indulging in the worst form of deception and
corrupt practices. Unfortunately,
this culture is equally pervasive in all the Muslim countries and among
Muslims all over the world in general.
I need to
make a statement here before I go any further and exempt my personal
friends who were born into Muslim families, but have been able to
dissociate themselves from the inherently violent teachings of the Koran
against people of other faiths and denominations.
I also believe that there are many honest and hard working Muslim
believers who live by the rule of law, i.e. the law of the civility and
follow the policy of live and let live; but increasingly more and more
Muslims are falling into the Islamist trap and becoming victims of their
hatred and rage. I would
sincerely like to believe that most Muslims are not infected with this
virus of hatred, but some lingering doubt tells me that there is some
inherently mysterious elements that is built within the Islamic mindset
that makes many believe that somehow they are Allah’s chosen children,
and only they deserve to enjoy all the gifts of this earth, the rest of
us are all “hallable”.
The
other characteristic widely seen in among the Muslims is the insatiable
desire for land. I do not
understand why it is that Muslims when in any considerable concentration
always demand that the entire domain become theirs.
It is first through coercion that they try to drive away the
people who don’t belong to the Muslim clan, failing that, they engage
in what we know as holy jihad, as prescribed in their holy book.
A glance
into history will give us numerous examples in support of my
observation. First, Mr.
Mohammed and his clansmen overran the Jewish settlements surrounding
Mecca
and
Medina
, then after that the brutal invasive gene pool continued to affect the
rest of the mankind through often brutal and barbaric blood thirsty
lust. They never spared
anything that crossed their paths, and history is replete with untold
chapters of Islamic barbarism, which spread from as far as
Spain
in the west, to the
Philippines
in the east.
The
success of the Muslim conquerors was mainly attributable to the ability
of their warriors to unleash violence of the dimensions unknown to most
human beings in those times. Only
Chengis Khan could match the violence level displayed by the Muslims,
and not surprisingly was able to create an empire extending from
Mongolia
to
Eurasia
. Islam induced violence as
a psychological tool was a novelty in the era, and no other society was
prepared to handle this scourge, because violence sanctioned by religion
was an unknown factor to the rest of the humanity.
It is only after the invention of the gun
that the psychological superiority of using sword as a tool to spread
Allah’s message, came to a stop. As
more societies learned the use of explosives and gunnery, they became
adept in self defense, and slowly violence was met with opposing
violence, abruptly halting the progress of Islamic invaders.
Since then, all or most of the land captured by Islamist forces
have either been reclaimed by the original owners as in
Spain
, in other parts of Europe, and
India
.
The
current Jihad unleashed by the Muslims is an effort to revert to their
glory days. Unfortunately,
the Muslims of today are not brave as their predecessors, nor are they
smart. The centuries of
inbreeding and indoctrination by the illiterate Mullahs made most of the
Muslims ignorant and unprepared for meeting the challenges of modern
society. The Muslims who
have been able to break out from the shroud of Islamic darkness are the
ones who have some of the necessary ingredients to survive the
challenges of this era.
Unfortunately,
very large segments of the Muslim society continue to believe that the
great Allah will intervene and give them back their glory days when they
will be the rulers of the world. This
inherent desire in the hearts and souls of most Muslims appear to be
caused by the illness that is spread by the virus named “Islam”.
Afflicted by this dreaded disease, the average Muslim heavy with
the high dose of “Umma-ism” can see nothing else but atrocity upon
them all over the world. Not
for once do the Muslims or their leaders introspect on what is the cause
of the lack of progress and development of Islamic societies all over
the world.
Barring a
few Arab states with oil wealth,
Turkey
and
Malaysia
to some extent, no other Muslim country has little to boast of with
respect to quality of life aspects.
It might be pointed out that even a country like
Iran
which has vast oil resources can hardly claim to have a respectable
society, given the fact that Islamic indoctrinated Mullahs run the
country and has admirably transformed a thriving nation under the Shah
regime into a middle age Mullatantra.
It is
rather ironic that these same die hard Islamic adherents are the ones
who do everything to first find shelter in the western countries, and
waste no time in importing the misery back upon them by re-embracing the
very elements that gave them nothing but pain and suffering of Islam
induced tyranny. Given the
social environment of human rights, tolerance and secularism, this new
brand of pests soon enough infiltrate into the host’s systems and
create conditions uncomfortable for most of them.
Being civilized and tolerant, they (the host population) accept
most of the demands first as minor irritants, only through such
circumstances as was exemplified by the destruction of the WTC on 9/11,
and recently in
Madrid
. People of no other
religious or social denomination display hatred of this dimension
against their hosts, which I am afraid, originate from the only source
of Muslim spiritualism, their holy “kitab”.
The
Arab-Israel conflict is an extension of the desire for Islamic hegemony
by the Muslims. Despite
strenuous objections by the Arabs, the
land
of
Israel
was returned to the rightful claimants, the Jews.
It is an irreversible reality and unfortunately, the Arabs are
unwilling to accept this reality. Yes,
as a result some Palestinians had to give up the rights to the land that
they considered to be theirs. Demographic
realignment of this nature has other precedents and the formation of
Pakistan
is a prime example. Hundreds
of millions of Hindus were displaced from their land, and they started
their new lives with nothing but hope and desire to start over.
All of them bear nostalgic memories of their land of birth, but
few begrudge their ill fate. They
accepted the reality and moved along with their lives.
The same is not true of the paltry Palestinians.
Most of them clung to their die hard faith and even more vengeful
dream of evicting the Jews from
Israel
and reoccupying their homeland. One
can argue that given the vast expanses of the Arab world most of the
Palestinians could have easily been integrated in any Arab land of their
choice, especially when the land to population ratio is comparably
large. Neither the
Palestinians nor their fellow Arabs embraced one another, despite their
common ethnicity, religion and their “Umma” centric faith in the
brotherhood of Muslims.
It may be
pointed here that not one single Arab land barring
Jordan
showed any sympathy towards their Palestinian brothers, and for all
practical purpose shunned them. Even
in
Jordan
, King Hussain ordered the slaughter of thousands of Palestinians, I
believe in 1968. The story
is same following the return of the emir of
Kuwait
after the victory by the
US
lead coalition force in 1991, when thousands of Palestinians were
killed, and all of them driven away from the land.
It is ironic that the Palestinians were probably the most secular
among the Arabs, and were also the most educated and successful people.
They throve in banking, trade and in technological fields where
fewer Arab Muslims succeeded. It
is only up to speculation as to why the neo rich Arab states in the
70’s accepted tens of millions of non-Muslim immigrants from all the
countries of
Asia
, yet was reluctant to accept their own Palestinian brethrens.
Is there some secret regarding the Palestinians that we are
unaware of, or were the Palestinians victims of their secularism and
their own successes?
Getting
back to the thought, it was
Egypt
,
Jordan
and
Syria
which attacked
Israel
in 1967. Despite early
successes, the Arabs eventually had to bite the dust and lose their face
following their humiliating defeat.
Defeat came with a price, the loss of valuable real estate, which
is so endearing to each Muslim soul.
It becomes much more painful when the Kuffir Jews are the victors
and the faithful believers the vanquished!
The great Allah, who once saved the believers by sending a flock
of stone-throwing ravens, this time around sided with the hated Jews.
Ironic how such a small population of 3 or so million Jews could
destroy the Allah invigorated Islamic Jihadis 15 times more numerous
than them! The “wise”
Anwar Sadat quickly understood his predecessor, Nasser’s folly and
offered the olive leave to Menachim Begin’s and regain the lost
land
of
Sinai Peninsula
.
Syria
and its dictator Assad pleaded, begged, threatened to regain control
over
Golan Heights
, but never succeeded.
Gaza
strip is
Palestine
territory, but is under Israeli control.
My free-thinking soul says that
Israel
ought to return the captured land to the Palestinians.
At the same time it is understandable why the Israelis are
apprehensive of the violence prone Islamic population which surrounds
them from all sides. Die
hard Islamists should accept the fact that they cannot regain the lost
land by acts of violence, and the only way they can succeed in getting
some of their land and respectability back is through dialogue.
Israel
today is a mighty military power, and the Arabs are a rag-tag bunch of
losers. The money they
earned from oil wealth they squandered through massive corruption of
their leaders and politicians, who plundered as much as they could and
invested most of it in real estate ventures in western countries apart
from secret Swiss bank accounts. Arabian
states are dysfunctional and in most cases failed states.
Their leaders intoxicated the masses with massive dose of Islamic
opium, constantly bickering with one another over petty issues.
In the vast landscape of Arab world, Saddam Hussain, Hafiz Assad,
King Hussain, Moamar Gaddafi, King Abdallah, Hosni Mobarak, Yasser
Arafat are the leaders! Given
this galaxy of such “stalwarts” that lead the Arab masses, is it
surprising that the results of their collective (mis)rule culminate in
the evolution of dysfunctional societies, whose only salvation is jihad?
The
million dollar question is why so many Bangladeshis still care for the
Arabs and their culture, especially in lieu of the culture they are a
part of, which as a Bengali I think is light years ahead of what the 7th.
Century Bedouins have to offer? What
is it that makes them look up to the Arabs, and turn away from the
teachings and the contributions of shining Bengali stalwarts like Ishar
Chandra Vidyasagar, Bankim Chatterjee, Raja Ram Mohon Roy, Sarat Chandra
Chatterjee, Kazi Nazrul Islam, Vivekananda, Paramahangsha Dev, Rishi
Arobindo, Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray, Jagadish Bose, Meghnad Saha,
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Rabindra Nath Thakur et. al. just to name a
few?
