| [Bangla Daily Star] Activists of Islami Chhatra Shibir ... the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh... clashed with cops, vandalised vehicles and blasted crude bombs at the capital's Merul Badda yesterday. About 100 Shibir men brought out a procession in the area around 8:15am as part of 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... 's countrywide demonstrations protesting oppression on religious minorities throughout the country. As the law enforcers obstructed them, unruly protesters went berserk, vandalised several vehicles and blasted two cocktails, said Badda police. Cops fired teargas shells and rubber bullets to disperse the troublemakers. A police was injured in the clash. Meanwhile, ...back at the argument, Livia had made her point with her knee to Jane's stomach... in a statement yesterday, Jamaat acting secretary general Rafiqul Islam Khan said, "Awami League activists attacked the homes of religious minorities and passed the blame on us. No one could prove such a charge against us." Jamaat is the parent organization of Islami Chhatra Shibir. However, there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... witnesses, police and newsmen have found Jamaat-Shibir men guilty of launching attacks on religious minorities. National dailies have recently reported many such incidents. |
