Dear Nahyan,
I am not in the business of certifying who is a good Muslim or who is not. I made the analysis based on Islamic knowledge as best as I could gather. If anyone can come up with proper Islamic evidences against whatever I've written in my articles then they're welcome to do so. However, your last writing has revealed some gross misconceptions about Islam. And it is of very epidemic proportion among Bangladeshis. You quoted a verse out of context to bolster your arguments. The verse "la kum deenukum wa liyadeen" of surah Kafirun was addressed to stubborn Kafirs. Its meaning: "for you is your religion and for us is our religion." In this surah our beloved prophet Mohammad (pbuh) was asked to convey this declaration to Kafirs and Muslims were asked to stick to their own faith and to make no compromise with them. It is worth noting that this is the most abused verse by Shaikh Mujibur Rahman and his political cadres to tell the practising Muslims to keep their faith confined in themselves and not to bring religion to politics. Such secularist view is totally against the very basic teachings of Islam. For Muslims, the Almighty Allah's prescription is different. Allah, the most merciful has revealed, "Yeea aiyohallazeena aamanu udkhulu fis silm e kaaffa". (Meaning: O! Those who believe, enter into Islam fully.) Unlike other religion, Islam is a complete and comprehensive roadmap of life for the whole mankind till the last day. To be a Muslim it is required that he or she should fully submit to this Quranic revelation. So Islam is not a type of religion that should be practised only in mosques, rather in politics, economy, culture, warfare and in all other arenas of life. Our prophet (pbuh) and the early Muslims are the ideal model of such Islamic practice. It is not an option rather an obligation on every Muslim to practise the same belief. Unfortunately, this is not happening in Bangladesh. And that owes to religious ignorance of the general public and the overwhelming intellectual corruption of their faith by the country's highly deviant secularists. Secularism as a thought and political ideology out-rightly goes against this Quranic order, so it is haram in Islam. Muslim scholars may differ on many issues but they show consensus on this issue. But in your writing you brought this secular doctrine and were preaching that to me. I would request you to read my several articles on secularism in this website. You can also read my article 'Islamic Movement: Extremism or Expression of True Belief'. I would urge you to clear these misconceptions before engaging with secularists or nationalists, as they are not confused about where they stand. I would also suggest you to forgo your analysis method of judging a book by it's cover. The same analysis method yielded nothing but confusion when you judged my article only by it's title. Also don't use that flawed method again to judge my level of knowledge about BD politics. People with confused state have no principal. The so-called biggest Islamic parties in BD are suffering with the same delusional state. They have lost the trust of dedicated Islamists and now taking banters from the secularist parties. There is no common ground between these nationalists and us. I am pleased that my arguments gave you that impression. Our arguments should be strong. The fact that you didn't continue with your previous secular arguments says volume. You can take pride on the history of 1971 if you are secularist but bound to feel ashamed if you are Islamist.

Although you have raised an important issue that my arguments seems uncompromising to people with other faiths and secularists. But then again you failed to notice that they were not my main target audiences. The article was geared towards confused Muslims where I wanted to argue that you cannot have it both ways. There is no point quoting Quran or Hadith while arguing with somebody who doesn't believe in any of them. I fully appreciate that for those people the tactic should be different. However, for those who believe in rational and thoughtful understanding of history they may find this article worth considering. They'll understand the underlying logic of those Islamists who were against the partition. Infact I came across many ardent secularists who respected that stance, as they understood that was a natural path for any true Islamists. It's only the confused Muslims, who become illogical and resorts to misquoting Islamic teachings to argue their case persistently. These are the same masses you see queuing up to vote the same corrupt people again and again.

Regarding your query about the reasons behind my writing on 71, I like to say it is crucially important. It is about science of history, which is more important than other branches of science. It teaches us to be wise and human. We all ought to analyze our past mistakes. Advances in science or technology may improve our quality of life but will not make us more human. Analyzing the past and learning from the mistake helps us improve as human being. Clearly, our generation lacks that understanding. Thats why after so many years you find them bragging about the crimes they've committed and demonising those who sacrificed their life for the right path. History lesson is also important to identify the Mir Zafars of our society and making sure, they don't get away by masquerading as intellectual and historians. So, I feel hundreds of books should be written from Islamic perspective since we are Muslim. Unfortunately that has not happened. Most of the books are written by the enemies of Islam, the pro-Indian secularists. Therefore, how our people can get the true understanding of the history/ If a Nazi intellectual writes history of World War Two what others will know about their crimes. So, if Awami anti-Islamists writes about 1971 then what a Muslim can know? They can only glorify their own crime and the crime of India. Because, they are paid for that.

It is no strange that you are unhappy why I have published my article in the web page. This is the real problem with the secularist Awami Leugers. They are truly fascist and opposed to all types of free expression. Not only in the political field but also in intellectual fields. They know quite well that except hooliganism, corruption and slang abuse they have nothing to offer. Their leader Sheikh Mujib banned all political parties and closed all opposition newspapers as soon as he assumed power. Though they are no longer in power, the behaviour still exists. You compared my writing with that of the Danish cartoonist. Have you lost your sense of proportion? Do you know what that cartoonist did? He is the proponent of the same secularism that you are so eager to use when arguing with me. While I was opposing it. Wassalam.
