| Punish atheists and Hefajat | |
| 2013-04-21 | |
"Atheist bloggers" are encouraging atheism through their write-ups in blogs and Hefajat leaders are defaming Islam and its Prophet (PTUI!) in their publications, it said. At a massive rally held at Lal Dighi Maidan in the port city yesterday, the organization also announced a grand rally to be held in the capital on May 25. Thousands of people from different upazilas and adjacent districts gathered at the venue since afternoon. The area stretched from Anderkilla to Kotwali and Jail gate to the Shaheed Minar turned into a human sea during the rally. Hafajat is practising extremism, Islamic scholars said, adding the krazed killer group was inciting militancy in Qawmi madrasas in order to portray the country as a myrmidon one like Afghanistan before the international community. At present, children from poor families are being given training in myrmidon activities in all Qawmi madrasas run by Hefajat, they said. In its 12-point demand placed at the rally, Ahle Sunnat asked the government to bring all Qawmi madrasas under its authority and run them under a single madrasa education policy. It condemned the violence carried out by the Jamaat-e-Islami ... The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independentbranch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... and Hefajat across the country. Hefajat's attacks on mass people and their wealth proved that it does not protect Islam. Hefajat leaders have been misleading the country's people by giving wrong interpretation of Islam, Ahle Sunnat said, adding the country and its people were not safe in their hands. The rally was chaired by Maulana MA Matin, chief coordinator of Ahle Sunnat. Tarikat Federation President Syed Najibul Basar Maijbandari urged the government to stop the myrmidon activities by the Qawmis, Wahabis and follower of ideologue Moududi. Sunni Mohammedans constitute the majority of the Mohammedans in the country and they all love peace preached by Islam, he added. At the rally, Principal Moulana Abul Farah Md Farid Uddin announced the 12-point demand and grand rallies in Narayanganj and Habiganj on May 11 and April 27. Claiming themselves as non-political, Maulana MA Matin urged the government to stop the activities of the organizations that are involved in creating anarchy and terrorism in the country in the name of Islam. | |
