“The grand alliance government which believes in the Kufr democratic system and serves the west is undertaking treacherous acts of attempting to wipe out and uproot Islam from the country in the name of fighting ‘terrorism’. It has in fact declared a crusade against Islam.” The Official Spokeswoman of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bangladesh Fahmida Farhana Khanam said this in a press release issued today in response to the arrests of three women whose hijab was forcefully removed when they were presented in court and taken into remand on 15th July, 2009 with allegation of links with militancy. She said this disgraceful act mirrors the words of Nicolas Sarkozy who said, “There is no place for burka in France.” The government is obeying the command of their imperialist masters to implement the rotten ideology of western secularism. They are treading the path of Bush, Pope Benedict, Giart Wilders and Sarkozy. In a country where 90% of the people believe in Islam, people are taken to remand or sent to face trial for the ‘crime’ of obeying Allah and wearing hijab or having a beard.

Presenting Muslim women in court by forcefully removing their hijab proves the present government’s abhorrence towards Islam

“The grand alliance government which believes in the Kufr democratic system and serves the west is undertaking treacherous acts of attempting to wipe out and uproot Islam from the country in the name of fighting ‘terrorism’. It has in fact declared a crusade against Islam.” The Official Spokeswoman of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bangladesh Fahmida Farhana Khanam said this in a press release issued today in response to the arrests of three women whose hijab was forcefully removed when they were presented in court and taken into remand on 15th July, 2009 with allegation of links with militancy. She said this disgraceful act mirrors the words of Nicolas Sarkozy who said, “There is no place for the burka in France.” The government is obeying the command of their imperialist masters to implement the rotten ideology of western secularism. They are treading the path of Bush, Pope Benedict, Geert Wilders and Sarkozy. In a country where 90% of the people believe in Islam, people are taken to remand or sent to face trial for the ‘crime’ of obeying Allah and wearing hijab or having a beard.

Furthermore, before coming to power Sheikh Hasina promised the people of Bangladesh that her government would do nothing against Islam. However this incident proves her to be an outright liar. She is actually following the path of the traitor and the infidel western agent Mustafa Kemal who, after abolishing the Khilafah on 28th Rajab 1342 hijri (3rd March, 1924), forcefully took off the hijab of Muslim women in order to please his imperialist masters and implement secularism.

Fahmida Farhana Khanam said the Muslims who call for democracy should learn from this. This is the ugly face of democracy. Western democracy believes in nothing but rejection of religion. It is obvious that in such a state Muslims who are obedient to the shari’ah will be attacked. In countries like France, Germany, Denmark, and Britain who are the champions of democracy, they have launched a vicious campaign against the hijab. Furthermore, Muslim women are physically assaulted or even murdered for wearing Hijab. Such incidents prove that there is no place for Islam in a democratic state.

At the end, Fahmida Farhana Khanam said in the past, Khulafah like Mu’tasim Billah declared Jihad against the disbelieving enemies to protect the honour of Muslim women. But today, western agents in the Muslim world like Sheikh Hasina’s government are dishonouring them. She called upon the Ummah to reject the Kufr secular democratic system come forward to establish the Khilafah state which will protect the Aqeedah and honour of the Muslims.
