How to End the Politics of Hate and Intolerance?

Get rid of (or radically alter) the guiding principles of the cult of Islam.

That'll do it.


'Dozens hurt' in Dhaka protests


Hundreds of people campaigning for Islamic rule in Bangladesh have clashed with police over a new policy advocating more rights for women.

Police used teargas and batons to break up the protests after members of the Islamic Constitution Movement (ICM) threw rocks in the capital, Dhaka.

Mokarram Hossain of Dhaka Metropolitan Police said there were more than 500 protesters and dozens were hurt.

Protesters had ignored a ban on such gatherings under a state of emergency.

It was imposed by an army-backed interim administration which took power in January last year.

Equal inheritance

Activists were angered by media reports of a draft law that gives equal inheritance rights to men and women.

It is understood that the policy would not be legally binding but would act as a guideline for the next parliament to use in forming legislation.

Parliamentary elections are expected to take place at the end of this year.

Mr Hossain said the clashes erupted during a demonstration following Friday prayers in front of the national mosque.

He said about 300 police officials were deployed around the mosque as hundreds of people from various Islamic groups took part in the protests.

Islamic guidelines

The ICM, which is one of a number of groups campaigning for Sharia-based laws in Bangladesh, said the proposed women's rights law was against a Koranic law of inheritance.

Mohammad Ismail, a protester, said: "We are not against women's rights, but it has to be according to the guidelines of Islam."

And Kawser Ahmed, who was also protesting, said: "The draft that the government prepared is totally anti-Islamic. We will not allow it to be passed."

Other groups who joined the protests included the Ahkame Sharia Hefazat Committee, backed by the country's biggest Islamic party, Jamaat-e-Islami.

Bangladesh, which is a Muslim-majority nation with a population of about 150 million people, adheres to a secular constitution, although the state religion is Islam.

Nearly 50 people were hurt on Thursday when members of the Khelafat Majlis group clashed with police in the capital over the same issue.

#155 did you hear of the englishman who called up the Guiness Book of World Records saying he had just spotted a dog with two assholes?..after Guiness investigated, it turned out that musharraf and altaf were out walking their dog.

Re: # 149

Dear Urstruly,

Pleasure is all mine.

#148 hamidm: i thought you squatted on railway tracks only at night so no one would laugh at you.

Re: # 145

It is even beneath my contempt to address the fascist murderers of MQM like yourself. I am writing this, only to show what I think of SOBs of your kind.

Re: # 143

One more thing, this resignation drama is an old ploy, I am so sorry if your ghand had some khujlee and that too for nothing.

.... actually altaph bhai is in the process of 'resigning' on geo tv ! ...... is this joker for real! .... when did he escape from the lunatic asylum ?

...... i call upon the british to return to pakistan and leave altaph bhai behind in london..... i cannot stand being a paki any more and formally declare myself a hindoo and change my name to gopinath maharaj ..... call me gopi ! .......

Re: # 143

Urstruly,

Why does MQM cause such Ghand mein khujlee? B4 calling that chuttya a terrorist have the fkg integrity to call those MOFO suicide bombers and their bhenchod fathers the same. As for the Sher Afghanized phrase, well the list is long and endless starting from Maududi all the way to Maulvi Diesel, Qazi Hussein and all other chuttyia Mullas.

Re: # 143

urstruly,

..... musharraf, my sister's khansama, pm gilani and tahmed have also resigned ! ......... so what is keeping you from resigning from your position as osama's chief sheep groomer ?

Zeemax:

Oh my God! I jsut read the news that MQM's mutherfukking terrorist psychopath is stepping down. God I just can't wait to see him deported to Pakistan and Sher Afganized.

Bhen chod dalla. Sorry couldn't help it.

Dear Writer & Sundry

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Much is at stake here, if it offends your sensibilities or disturbs your humongous ego's then find something else to talk about.

Fanatics wearing suicide belts are willing to kill and be killed to impose their narrow minded, bigoted world view; self-proclaimed leader of Punjab (NS) and most likely murderer of BB is trying to muscle his way back into power; deal maker AZ is going around doing what he does best, set up deals for his business empire; chuttyia Musharraf continues to make an ass out of himself; delusional, meglomaniac chuttar Iftikhar Chaudhry is living in a make belief world of him being the knight in shining armor not knowing he is the ass that NS is riding; conniving Chaudhry's of Gujrat in their greed to hold on to the ill-gotten gains continue to conspire; Altaph bhai has responded in his typical sarak chaap, ghoonda tactics; and of course, we have the regular chorus of hurt feelings being soaked on chowk, irrespective of the implication and direction this country is head.....dismemberment or if lucky a loose confederation.
