Islam Under Scrutiny by Ex-Muslims

Bangladesh: The Intellectual Blueprint of Islamist Traitors

Over the last few months I have been observing the increasingly monotonous promotion of the book 'The India Doctrine' by the infamous Barrister MBI Munshi. His supporters and the books promoters are easily identified and include Isha Khan, Zoglul Hossain Zainal Abedin and Moin Ansari (a Pakistani national residing in New York). These are all well-known anti-Indians, who, at every opportunity, spout venom at our big neighbour; and try to create a hostile and militant attitude towards New Delhi.
 
If the opinions of these few individuals were kept within this small coterie, there would not be much concern. But the ideas and perspectives found in The India Doctrine appear to be spreading. If one reads the recent write-ups and speeches of such public intellectuals like Farhad Mazar, Mahmudur Rahman, Prof. Mahbubullah, Prof. Ataur Rahman, Prof. Razia Banu, Shah Abdul Hannan and the anti-Indian stance of the BNP-Jamaat neo-Razakars you will see the adoption of the ideas contained in The India Doctrine. Several newspapers, magazines and journals such as the Naya Diganta, Sangram, Dinkal, New Age, Bangladesh Defence Journal, The Financial Express, PROBE, The Bangladesh Today and The New Nation have also been sponsoring or highlighting this new anti-Indian agenda initiated by The India Doctrine.

Having noticed incessant publicity of this book in the media, I decided to purchase a copy from a bookstore in Dhaka. For those, who support the ideals of the Liberation War and the sacrifices made by the people of Bangladesh, can only be repulsed by its contents. The book does not even leave Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman untouched by its scurrilous and repulsive innuendoes and second-rate theorizing about a supposed and fantastic Akhand Bharat [undivided India] being allegedly pursued by Indian policy-makers since the partition in 1947. What Barrister MBI Munshi does not discuss is the sacrifices that were made by India for the independence of Bangladesh. Barrister Munshi manages to disingenuously twist history to make India appear as the villain and not the murderous Pakistan army that raped and killed unarmed civilians in the erstwhile East Pakistan.

What is particularly surprising is that none of the so-called defenders of our freedoms and secular ideals has come forward to counter the objectives and ideas of the book. This is extremely dangerous as the anti-Indian tilt now appearing in Bangladesh could have very unfortunate consequences for the country. If New Delhi views its small neighbour as becoming hostile to its friendly overtures it could turn the screws and make things difficult for Bangladesh. Already many in India view Bangladesh as ungrateful. The secular intellectuals of Bangladesh must come forward and warn of the dangers of following the ideas contained in The India Doctrine.

The book essentially promotes an intellectual blueprint for an instability and reversal of the secular gains made in 1971, which ultimately trashed the concept of the Two Nation Theorystill oddly propounded in Pakistan. After 1971, Pakistanis should have come to realize that the misguided ideals of the Two Nation Theory, along religious lines, are no longer relevantthe creation of Bangladesh proved that point. Unfortunately, the neo-Razakars [traitor] in Bangladesh still passionately hold to this concept of the Two Nation Theory in the hope of reuniting Bangladesh and Pakistan. The India Doctrine superficially provides them with an argument, albeit based a weak foundation.

The dream of India's disintegration (an implication made in the book) is just a dream. Instead, we are seeing Pakistan on the verge of political collapse and Bangladesh with an uncertain future. It is without doubt India that will emerge as the regional superpower and elites in Pakistan and Bangladesh better come to recognize that reality; or both the countries will suffer consequences. Both Pakistan and Bangladesh are too weak and internally divided to pose a threat to India's rise. So, why entertain dreams based on an ill-conceived religious division, which has done us more harm than good.

A very good exposition of the harsh reality that Pakistan and Bangladesh cannot stomach India's progress , prosperity and multicultural tolerant society. India's GDP is now over $1 Triilion and growing at over 7% every year. It is on the verge of becoming an economic power in the World next only to Japan and China in Asia , and the 8th biggest economy in the world today. What have Pakistan and Bangladesh to offer ? Nothing, except soke 'islamic' fanaticism,terrorism and backwardness ,despite huge largesse from the USA. What is the solution for them? Embrace hinduism and escape from the dark ditch of bigotry and backwardness to transform into a tolerant and egalitarian society. Try as much as they can , they can never pull India down inthe ditch with them ,even with the best efforts of conmen like "Dr." Zakir Naik ,Ahmed Deedat,and their miserable ilks!

Muslims cannot progress ever as They are taught to be supperior to all .For any society to make progress it should have the ability to look within and introspect. Muslims cannot do that because the cult they are following is not based on Golden Rule. Hence they spent their entire life in denial and always blame others for their misfortune. Pathetic Indeed.

"Vinasha kale vipereeta buddhih". Islam is not a problem for the south asians alone, it is a global problem. Islam will die a violent death and it is becoming certain with every passing day. Muslims themselves have stripped naked and the world is watching. Thats the way nature balances itself. Evil is pitted against evil. Dont forget what Jesus has said "The meek shall inherit the earth". Obviously, after the evil doers are vanquished.

Hi Sohail Taj, Thanks for your nice artcile. Its unfortunate that the countires under the influence of islam have an inherent problem, and they can not develop comapred to other secular countries. This is actually due to religion. Islam is such a doctrine that it can not tolerate any free speech and free opinion. So there is no self-criticism, as a result there is no progress. Hence Islam keeps people backward. I am in USA. Here I interacted with the Bangladeshi muslim Ph.D. holders. They did Ph.D. in Japan and have come to USA for further research. These Ph.D. holders are desperate to stay in USA. But in their thinking, they are very rigid, and very backward in terms of ideological point of view. They want to see islamic system in USA. But these people dont want to go back to Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia. They groom their kids in islamic way. Everyone of them told me that true Islam is very good. But no one could explain what is true islam. One of them said Shia people are not muslim. Ahmadiya are not muslim. When I asked them too many questions, then they said they are not allowed to discuss about islam. These are Ph.D.s. Think of the common/ordinary people. God save the world from Islam. Peace.

If we could only free all the muslimic illiterates from the bad influence of the scribes and terrorists and provide them with education! I mean, islamic education is no education at all since there are no good things teached by islam. Blind faith, praying and hoping, blaming others, violence - this will never have any progress.

Only one question to Muslims reading this comment. Is book an invention of Allah or man? If for argument sake we agree that Allah's inevntion/creation is the book, then what about Internet? Is internet an invention/creation of Allah? If not why Allah is so powerless being the sole knowledge treasure of the whole universe? Why cant Allah communicate through Internet? He cannot so Allah is incapable of dominating the world. We can manage without books. Maybe next generation kids will be utterly bored to read books. hy Allah did not keep some of his soft copies some where in Islamic countries to convert it into Hard copy. Answer is simple. Allah is a fiction and Muslims are the greatest actors in the fiction, killing and being killed.

I'd love to brain wash every Moslem in this world. Their minds are dirty because of Islamic teaching. I agree that Moslems blame non-moslems for their misfortune. Indonesian Moslems are blaming Chinese citizens because the Chinese are more better in economy and wealth. The riots in 1998 in Jakarta, and in other towns as Solo etc. were proofs of it. Islam teaches jealousy, hatred, even killing people. So what the good of Islam is? Nothing, ha ha ha ..... It is the teaching of a sex maniac false prophet, ha ha ha .....

A promoter of Indian hegemonism in Bangladesh By Zoglul Husain, UK I refer to the article in NFB titled "The Intellectual Blueprint of the Neo-Razakars" by Sohail Tajul Islam, published on August 25, 2008 in the Reader's Opinion section. The writer introduced himself as a student of Imperial College, London: (E Mail: sohailtaj2008@gmail.com). To Sohail Tajul Islam, any one who stands for the independence and sovereignty of Bangladesh is a 'neo-rajakar'. He has listed many writers and newspapers as anti-India and to whom, in his opinion, his title of 'neo-rajakar' applies. It is possible that he has been prompted by his backers from dark corners to produce this list. However, anti-hegemonism is not the same as anti-India, and anti-imperialism is not the same as anti-America, and any conscious person should steadfastly struggle against imperialism, hegemonism, inequality and exploitation. Without going into details, it needs to be mentioned that we wanted independence for one reason, but India wanted to divide Pakistan for another reason, with their ulterior motive of reducing Bangladesh to a vassal state and finally annexing it to India as a dependent state. Sohail Tajul Islam wants us to be grateful to India for 1971 and he then, what is more, wants us to surrender our independence to India. But what has he got to say about the plunder of Bangladesh by India after 16 December 1971, the permanent massive damage to Bangladesh by Farakka barrage, the raising of Rakkhi Bahini who ruthlessly massacred 30 thousand patriots (half of them of JSD) and established a reign of terror to bring Bangladesh to its knees in front of India, the killings of hundreds of villagers at the border, the uneven trade of India with Bangladesh with which billions of dollars are being plundered by India from Bangladesh every year, etc., etc.? How is Bangladesh going to be compensated for the losses of these valuable lives, the massive permanent damages and the huge plunders? But as regards the people of India, we of course promote the people-to-people solidarity between all the countries of the world and we support the struggles for the emancipation of the people in all countries. Sohail Tajul Islam also terms the book, "The India Doctrine" edited by Barrister MBI Munshi, as "The Intellectual Blueprint of the Neo-Razakars". He offers neither arguments nor logic, but dishes out abusive expressions and personal attacks. There cannot be any doubt that Sohail Tajul Islam is a promoter of Indian hegemonism in Bangladesh. Actually he goes more than most in his submission, and he invites others to submit, to his hegemonic masters when he concludes: "It is without doubt India that will emerge as the regional superpower and elites in Pakistan and Bangladesh better come to recognize that reality or both countries will suffer the consequences. Both Pakistan and Bangladesh are too weak and internally divided to pose a threat to India's rise so why foster dreams based on an ill-conceived religious division which has done more harm than good. The meaning of Islam is submission so both countries should gracefully submit!" No doubt he is a promoter of "Akhand Bharat" (undivided India), which MBI Munshi and other writers of the book, The India Doctrine, have taken pains to explain precisely the concept of and the Indian operations thereof since 1947. Thus, according to Sohail Tajul Islam, the two-nation theory, on the basis of which British India was partitioned was "an ill-conceived religious division which has done more harm than good" and that both Bangladesh and Pakistan should submit their independence to India!! And in his supreme wisdom (!), he says: "The meaning of Islam is submission so both countries should gracefully submit!" After this, the writer could be totally ignored and brushed off. But for the sake of our respected and patient readers, and for the sake of the writer too, a few points need to be mentioned. Firstly, weak nations can certainly defeat strong nations. It is the weak nations who smashed colonialism to smithereens! Again, weak nations like Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, many countries in Latin America and many other countries of the world have defeated imperialism. So, threat to other countries of South Asia about the potential super power of India is futile and counter-productive in a world, where weak nations refuse to be cowed down even by the hyper power, the USA. On the other hand, India is beset with huge problems of poverty, inequality and strife, which are no better than the situation in Bangladesh. Secondly, it was over-riding socio-economic and political necessities with the tag of 'two-nation theory' which led to the partition of British India. Even the Communist Party of India (CPI) in 1942 supported the movement for Pakistan i.e., supported the partition of British India on the basis of 'two nation theory'. As Sohail Tajul Islam is a college student, he can study these in detail, and of course CPI is no less secular than what he professes to be as his main contention. Just a reminder to him that secularism is not the same as servitude or prostrating to Indian hegemonism. Thirdly, when he says, "The meaning of Islam is submission so both countries should gracefully submit" (their independence to India), he distorts and abuses the 'meaning' of Islam. He has actually insulted a faith, without understanding the implication of what he is saying. He seems to be utterly confounded in his thoughts on religion. One should be very careful about making any statement about any religion. "Islamic theology says that all of God's messengers since Adam preached the message of Islam—submission to the will of God" (Wikipedia). So, it is submission to the will of God, not to the devil of Indian hegemonism! Fourthly and finally, I assume Sohail Tajul Islam is a normal-age college student and not what is termed as a 'mature student'. So, at his formative tender age, I will not describe him as a national-traitor or accuse him of insulting religion, except that I will take him to be grossly misguided by vested interest groups. I think it would be right to give him a stark warning that unless he makes amends and cleans up his ways and comes out of the network of RAW, he will be destined to reap the bitter harvest of the wrath of the people of Bangladesh as well as the wrath of the right-minded people of India and other peoples of South Asia, however endearing his writings may be to the hegemonists of India and their lackeys in India, Bangladesh and elsewhere in South Asia or rest of the world.

About Muslims, one could correctly define them as SNAKES, some more poisoness than others.The world is slowly coming to know the mind set of Muslims. Unfortunately in India, Islam Channel is working day and night to justify the credibility of Islam by people like Zakir Naik who is a great deceiver but can not stand a chance if Islam and Mohammad was put under scrutiny and counter attacked. In fact Islam is the distorted face of Judaism and Christianity, on the body of Paganism, with demonic blood running through its veins. Quran is the inspired word of Mohammad to Allah=The pagan Moon god. Even Mohammad's fathers name was ABED-ALLAH, which means :Worshipper of Allah-The moon god: Hence Mohammad promoted the moon god Allah.At one time ,he allowed the worship of three daughters of Allah to increase his followers but later retracted when challenged by his followers.To tell a lie one must have a good memmory, which Mohammad did not possess because of epilepsy and cocktail of other mental illnesses. His in-coherent utterances became his revealed word attributed to allah, where as both were one and the same. Mohammad had split personality-both sides being BAD. He was possessed by a DEMONIC spirit, which is revealed through his teaching and actions. One could never trust Mohammad or his ungrateful followers. It is like taking a poisoness snake as a pet and trying to sleep with that snake under your pillow. India should never let its guards down but protect the faithful Christian minority, which are under attack by Hindu Fanatics.

ISLAMIC POLITICS create divisions within the same community and gives space to other communities to criticize. The country which has more than 50% MUSLIMS should not have any ISLAMIC PARTY. They may have ISLAMIC STUDIES in the high school level only. There should not be any MADRASA which provides lessons of the ARABIC HISTORICAL BRUTALITIES and cultures. The country which has different food, soil from Arabic lands has naturally different culture and this culture can not be changed by ARABIC WAY through ISLAM. It destroyed ISLAM and it will destroy. Nobody needs certificate from any CLERICS and ISLAMIC POLITICIANS about heaven or hell. THERE SHOULD BE A BOOK DEPICTING THE EXAMPLES OF THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUNDS OF ISLAMIC POLITICS AND THEIR ACTIVITIES WHICH DESTROYED THE SOCIETY.

Your charges againt Sohail are baseless. Can you tell in absolute honesty as to how many Bangla-Deshis were murdered by your Muslim Pakistani Brothers. How many Muslim women were gang raped by their Muslim Brothers of Pak. Army? How many Illigitimate children were produced as a result? The pattren of this kind of Heinous behaviour was set by the prophet of Islam and his soldiers of fortune. Try to improve your knowledge of Islamic history since its inception.Your veiled threats to Mr.Taj are the representation of Muslim sick mind.Why dont you get a FATWA issued against the gentleman? Regarding your claim that Islam came into the world with ADAM. I agree with you there,but only appeared in the form of SATAN as SERPANT. Islam was introduced into this world in the seventh century by Mohammad, who drove the Arabs from DUSK into ABJECT darkness. Look at the result. The only achievement they have made is in distubing the peace in the world and Terrorism and murder of innocent people. Islam and Muslims represent the evil and ugly face of humanity. Islam and terrorism are the two sides of the same coin and Mohammad minted that coin.

(TO : Only way to deal with Bangladesh) - I totally agree with you. And in addition, India has been selling rice to this Bangladesh at pennies-to-the-dollar so that this ingrate Bangladesh can avert widespread hunger and famine. But the ingrate Bangladesh and their rotten inhabitants are always blaming India for all their problems. You never hear a good word about India from any source in Bangladesh, and from the rotten illegal Bangladeshis living illegally in India and planning Jihad.

Ingratitude thy name is Bangladesh!. If M.B.I.Munshi and their ilk feel so bad about India, why did they seek help from India when they wanted to be liberated from the rapacious Pakistan Army? Could they have got their 'independence' without India's intervention? Today these wretches are exporting to India islamic terrorism with the aide and help from Pakistan and their nefarious agency ISI! What can you call these Bangladeshis ? Ungrateful wretches,Thats all! Their national anthem and national song is by none other than Rabindranath Tagore - not from the rotten Quran or Hadiths which they want to espouse today! These ungrateful wretches should also know that much of their economic prosperity rests upon Indian generosity - these insular minded rascals!! What about 20 million Bangladeshis who have illegally migrated to India? Can Bangladesh take them back - these scums of society who are an economic burden on an already overpopulated nation!

The great Mahathma Gandhi must be rejoicing in his grave for what is happening today. To prevent the Partition in 1947, the late Mahathma even offered Mr. Jinnah, the leader of the Awami Muslim league, the premiership of India, but Mr. Jinnah refused point blank. Besides they were determined to establish and create Pakistan, a plot cleverly devised and executed by the British imperialists and Zionist, virtually the best example of divide and rule policy to date.

It was the indian army which liberated bangladesh from the cruel pakistani dictatorship. Still bangladesh is encouraging and supproting terrorism against India. Bangala desh has allied with pakistan whose soldiers raped so many bangla deshi women. Islam will never show gratitude. They will always create problems. Even if kashmir gets independence they will support pakistan and create problems for India JUST LIKE BANGAL DESH. INDIA SHOULD NEVER LET KASMIR LEAVE THE UNION. KASHMIR IS THE SOURCE OF THE INDUS WATERS. WE CANNOT LET IT FALL INTO THE HANDS OF INDIAS ENEMIES.

May be if some of you bothered to read The India Doctrine you will see that it has little to do with Islam and more to do with Indian hegemony in South Asia. It shows India through nefarious means is destabilizing the entire region including non-Muslim country's) to further its design. From this one may make the observation that Muslims were justified in partitioning India in 1947. Just look at what is now happening in Orissa, Kashmir and other parts of India. Is this Muslim fanaticism or Hindu? Muslims are usually the victims of oppression in India (as are many other minorities) and sometimes react violently to their oppression hence the creation of groups like SIMI, LeT and HuJi. If India was actually tolerant none of this would be happening.

"Muslims are usually the victims of oppression in India (as are many other minorities) and sometimes react violently to their oppression hence the creation of groups like SIMI, LeT and HuJi."

Muslims are not oppressed in Kafir India alone, they are oppressed in all Kafir countries--America, Canada, Britain, France, Russia, Germany and where not. They are creating all kinds of terror organization as reactions to oppression by those Kafir countries.

And that's not all; they are oppressed, bitterly oppressed, by Muslim countries too. Muslims are most oppressed by Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, where they have founded the deadliest of terror organizations. They are oppressed in countries like Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia and in any Muslim country, for that matter, to the extent that they have been creating all kinds of terror organizations in reactions.

You are truly a brilliant intellectual. Your "India Doctrine" must be the most worth of books to have on my bookshelf.
