“Bangladesh government should be ashamed” – Taslima Nasrin

by Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury- August 29, 2011

Taslima Nasrin, an award-wining writer and human rights activist, is known for her powerful writings on women oppression and unflinching criticism of religion, despite forced exile and multiple fatwa calling for her death. Not many have risked their life to tell the truth.In India, Bangladesh and abroad, Nasrin’s fiction, poetry and memoir have topped the best-seller’s list.

Taslima: US envoy condemns all parties

Pallavi Shahi – New Delhi | 4th Sep 

The CPI(M) is “hypocritical and authoritarian” over controversial author Taslima Nasreen, the BJP is “opportunistic and exploitative” and the Congress is “neither secular nor courageous”, said the then US ambassador to India, David Mulford in a cable commenting on the three parties’ handling of the Nasreen crisis in 2007, when she was forced to flee Kolkata. In a 28 November 2007 cable released by WikiLeaks, the ambassador scathingly comments, “India’s main political parties could not care less about Nasreen or her writing beyond how their parties’ reactions to events play to voters”.

If Mamata allows, would love to return to Kolkata: Taslima

Controversial Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen feels “Peace is far away” and claims that she is a victim of religious, political and social ‘fatwas’.

“Unfortunately, settlement is not for me. Banning, censorship continues. Not only religious fatwas, I became an unfortunate victim of political and social fatwas. Life is not easy and peace is far away,” 49-year-old Nasreen, who has been living in Delhi since June, said.

Frankrig: Nidra Poller om laïcité

Bønner og tørklæder i gaderne underminerer den franske laïcité. Franskmændene diskuterer. Nicolas Sarkozys parti, UMP, har lavet en plan:

UMP unveils ideas for secularism

The UMP party has produced a total of 26 propositions which cover areas such as funding and the relationship between religion, the state, the public and the workplace.

French Ruling Party Discusses Separation of Church and State

Nidra Poller – April 20, 2011

The video of a Koran-burning by an obscure pastor in Gainesville, Florida went viral, spinning all the way to Mazar-i-Sharif (Afghanistan) where, on April 1st, an enraged mob stormed the UNAM (United Nations Assistance Mission) compound, killing 3 UN staff members and 4 Nepalese Gurkha guards, and wounding dozens. Two of the victims were reportedly beheaded. Sensitivity in France to criticism of Islam, Muslims, and/or immigrants does not reach murderous proportions, but controversy has been raging ever since the UMP announced it was holding a debate on laïcité (France’s official separation of church and state). The integrity of President Sarkozy’s government was questioned, the debate was branded a sop to the Front National, petitions circulated and dire predictions were vociferated. The Convention on “Laïcité pour mieux vivre ensemble” [laïcité for getting along together] was held on April 5th at the Pullman Hotel across the street from Gare Montparnasse… and French media lost interest in the whole affair.

Is it because the 26 concrete proposals presented during the 4-hour event belied the lurid accusations smeared ahead of the debate? The proposed measures are clearly not motivated by a fiendish anti-Muslim ideology; they are a concrete political response to authentic issues raised from the ground up. Though Christianity and Judaism were thrown in to keep Islam company when touchy issues tear at the social fabric, Islam was separated out for special consideration in the second half of the Convention.

Koran-brænderi og backlash

Det amerikanske koran-brænderi kaster stadig artikler af sig. Og der er masser af dhimmier i koret. Her er en lille smule fra det brogede billede:

Do We Have the Right to Burn the Koran?

Sam Harris – April 1, 2011

The New York Times reported today that at least ten UN aid workers have been murdered by an Afghan mob. This senseless savagery occurred in Mazar-i-Sharif, “one of the most peaceful places in Afghanistan,” in response to news that a Florida pastor, Terry Jones, finally made good on his threat to burn a copy of the Koran. Pastor Jones and the members of his tiny congregation in Gainesville appear to be religious crackpots of the first order, but anyone tempted to condemn them for provoking this violence has lost the plot. As I wrote previously in defense of the Dutch politician Geert Wilders (“Losing Our Spines to Save Our Necks”):

It’s Not Terry Jones’ “Fault”

Diana West – April 4, 2011

Not to be outstyled by the “avenging” Gray Lady, The Christian Science Monitor wins Dhimmi of the News-Day today for this headline:

“Terry Jones: How free speech and Quran burning can lead to violence“

Is it really necessary to explain that free speech is speech and not violence; that burning the Koran is burning a bunch of wood pulp, and not violence; that violence is violence and that the only thing that “led” to it, now as always, are barbaric imams who, following the laws of Islam, exhorted their rabid flock to kill “infidels”?

New Koran Campaign Follows Old Patterns

By Paul Marshall – April 4, 2011

The latest round of killings in Afghanistan, including of Nepalese, ostensibly in response to a burning of a Koran by preacher Wayne Sapp in Florida on March 27, is now following the script of earlier such events. There are three standard patterns.

The first is that the anger and killings are politically hyped. Not much was made of the event at the time — as I noted earlier, Iran followed up its burning of six hundred New Testaments with a ritual condemnation of the Koran burning as part of an American “hegemonic plot,” but otherwise not much happened.

Om massakren i Afghanistan

Mord, halshugninger, angreb på FN og anden typisk islamisk fred. Så som afbrænding af en pigeskole og en skolebus. Logisk konsevens af, at nogen futter en bog af i USA, ikke? Svenske Joakim Dungel og norske Siri Skare var blandt ofrene. Også i dag er der vold i Afghanistan:

Lørdag blev ti mennesker dræbt og over 80 såret i hårde sammenstød i Kandahar under en tilsvarende demonstration.

Fredag blev syv udenlandske FN-ansatte, blandt dem en kvindelig norsk officer, dræbt i Mazar-i-Sharif nord i Afghanistan i forbindelse med en lignende protest.

Det skriver Jyllands-Posten. Helle Merete Brix har en god artikel om sagen:

Krigere uten ære

Fredagens angrep mot FNs kontor i Mazar-i-Sharif i Afghanistan som resulterte i flere døde, blant dem den norske oberstløytnant Siri Skare, er en tragedie på flere måter. Angrepet kom på bakgrunn av at en prest i Florida brente koranen, en handling som Afghanistans president Hamid Karzai noen dager senere fant nødvendig å offentlig fordømme. Men også FNs menneskerettighetsråd – og spesielt OIC – bærer et ansvar for angrepene i Afghanistan.

Helle Merete Brix – 3. april 2011

Siri Skare, der i fredag blev dræbt i Afghanistan, blev 52 år. Hun var gift og havde et barn og boede i Oslo. Skare var også oberstløjtnant, Norges første kvindelige jagerflyver og hun gjorde tjeneste i Afghanistan som militær rådgiver under “United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan”.

Siri Skare var ubevæbnet, da en afghansk folkemængde i fredags efter bønnen trængte ind i FNs hovedkvarter i det relativt fredelige Mazar i-Sharif i det nordlige Afghanistan.

Video: Regeringen holder os for nar?

Man begrænser indvandring i den ene ende. Og åbner en gigantisk ladeport i den anden:

Unge fra lande som Indien, Nepal og Bangladesh snyder sig til ophold i Danmark ved at søge ind som studerende på danske uddannelsesinstitutioner.

Det skriver TV2.

Ofte dukker de nemlig slet ikke op på studiet, men ender i stedet som illegale indvandrere i København.

Skolerne modtager typisk 70.000 kroner om året per udenlandske studerende.

Køge Handelsskole har tjent hele 28 mio. kroner på tre år ved hjælp af denne samfundsskadelige virksomhed.

Få dog denne organiserede udlændinge-import standset! Det er direkte organiseret som trafficking. Hvad i alverden er meningen?

Og der er flere penge at tjene for kreative, samvittighedsløse uddannelsesinstitutioner. Fra Jyllands-Posten:

Underviserne på de danske universiteter gør det lettere for studerende at bestå eksamen, så universitetet kan få del i taxameterpengene, der udløses hver gang en studerende består. Ifølge en rundspørge foretaget af Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten har en tredjedel af de 491 deltagende underviserne følt sig presset til at slække på det faglige niveau.

Privatiseret udlændingeimport. Med ikke mindre end 2 gode indtægtskilder. Den danske befolkning holdes grundigt for nar.

Man har privatiseret indvandringen! Jeg vil have et nyt fædreland! Jeg vil ud herfra!
