Pre-ordered this book by Samiha Hoque, @hijabi_soldier, and I can’t wait to read this! A story about two families across generations in Bangladesh, shaped by 1971 and its aftermath, touching on migration and the politics of vengeance. It already sounds so compelling.

There is little hope for universal human rights in Bangladesh if an elected government—borne out of bloodshed, repression, and collective hope—chooses to dismantle relatively balanced frameworks like the National Human Rights Commission and Enforced Disappearances Ordinances, while wholesale passing deeply flawed, nonsensical, and rights-risking laws such as the Cyber Security Ordinance and Personal Data Protection Ordinance. It only demonstrates that the party not only lacks in its commitment to rights and justice, but also any possible rigor and depth to make the right trade-offs and policy assessments.

“The oppressed, instead of striving for liberation, tend themselves to become oppressors.” - Paulo Freire One of the reasons I find myself gradually losing faith in Bangladesh is because of this recurring cycle that feels almost inescapable. A country cannot sustain itself if every decade demands another uprising just to reclaim basic rights. It is literally exhaustive. The deeper irony is the very [BNP] people whose rights we almost religiously defended during the authoritarian era are now beginning to resemble the very anti-people characters they once opposed. What a sheer and scandalous waste of the immense sacrifice of our youth, their blood and treasure! - Sultan Mohammed Zakaria

My social media feeds today are full of criticisms and concerns about Bangladesh’s government’s decision to allow critical human rights ordinances to lapse. These critiques come from many who strongly supported the BNP. What I have not seen are any effective arguments in favor of the government’s actions. This either means that there is no defense or that the government is unable to effectively communicate its position. Neither is a good look.

Daily Star lied and misquoted him. He basically said that male politicians are so used to taking bribes or enjoying perks that they’re getting bigger bellies, so big that female colleagues (including Farhana) would wonder how the men have larger bellies than they did even during pregnancy: facebook.com/share/v/1DJEQx…

It is fascinating how Islam is so frequently conflated with Arabness. Sometimes there is even an implied moral failure for those who are Muslim but not Arab, which leads to forced Arabization in many non Arab communities. Despite the historical reality that the vast majority of Muslims globally are not Arab and haven’t been for 80% of Islam’s history.

@JackofBlades22 Also, I’ve heard you praise how tough Shahjahan Chowdhury is and the kind of rhetoric he uses to project that image. That’s generally fine. It’s when it crosses into calling others atheists or resorting to body-shaming that it becomes offensive and counterproductive.

@perpetuallymun To me, the whole foreign advisor mess & JI taking credit of China's aid was more damaging to jamat than all these noise. JI is lucky most people's attention is towards iran war & fuel crisis. That stunt they pulled with china was unacceptable.

@JackofBlades22 That was problematic too. From what I understand, the Ameer did not take credit for it and thanked them properly in person. It’s the social media account manager that really needs to be looked at and held accountable.

@JackofBlades22 Maybe I am a millennial but this isn’t about caving, it’s called discipline. There’s a difference between having backbone and being careless with language. If the goal is to win people over, rhetoric that alienates and hands critics ammunition is counterproductive.

@perpetuallymun Caving like that is very 90s and millenial behaviour. People respect parties, factions, ideologies that stick to their guns and show some backbone.

@JackofBlades22 That is true. You won’t hear the media talk about it, of course. When everyone is against you, the best way to defeat the apparatus is by being on your best behavior and not giving them anything to use against you.

@perpetuallymun 'Recklessness' can be normalized by repetition. BNP normalized making mass takfir of jamat by repeatedly calling them munafiqs and munafiqs are considered worse than kafirs. Didnt hear all this talk when BNP does it.

Listen, Amir Hamza can call someone Islamophobic all he wants, of course. But the moment he labels them an atheist, he drags the entire party down with him. The media and society are quick to generalize and assign collective blame. The same happens when misogynistic remarks are made against Rumeen Farhana, the whole party gets villainized for it. You can call out Islamophobia without crossing into language that is reckless or disrespectful. The media and civil society are already biased against this party, so why give them more ammunition?

@perpetuallymun It's not casual. Tuku recently condemned concept of Bangladesh having any state religion and said "we didnt do muktijuddho just to have religion in our state". You guys in UK & US call out your politicians for islamophobia for less, BNP has clear de-islamization agenda.

@JackofBlades22 Even if he is a scholar, that doesn’t make casual takfir acceptable. In Islamic tradition, declaring someone a disbeliever has strict conditions and is approached with extreme caution, and is not to be used as casual political rhetoric.

I have never even called Hasina an atheist because that simply isn’t my place. I have called her many names, but her belief is between her and God. Not for me to declare. It’s true that many people may not be practicing and still have Muslim names. But unless someone has explicitly declared themselves an atheist, I will not label them as such. And even then, I wouldn’t use that label to drag them. I can challenge and defeat arguments logically and professionally without resorting to attacking someone’s faith, or lack of it.

@perpetuallymun @dailystarnews Another muslim, not an atheist with arabic names. Many such atheist dictators with 'muslim names' in central asia and other countries - its very common. "rhetoric that fuels division" Thats all politics.

I am not sure if you know this. But Islam explicitly warns against calling another Muslim a disbeliever. Even if you strongly disagree with someone, you cannot go around labeling them “atheist” or “kafir.” Beyond that, it is deeply unprofessional, especially for a sitting MP. Public office demands restraint a higher standard of conduct, not reckless rhetoric that fuels division. .

@perpetuallymun @dailystarnews I believe in free speech and it's my personal assessment as well that Tuku is a hardcore islamophobe. In that comment, I fully support Amir Hamza.
