1/6


2/6

For these reasons the God loving people led by Hefazat-e-Islam took to the streets to reinstate

complete faith and trust in Allah. Hefazat-e-Islam has put forth this as the primary demand for

very logical reasons.

Corers of people have already expressed their solidarity with this demand by way of supporting

and participating in the 6 March long march. The people who overcame the obstacles placed bythe government to participate in the meeting in Dhaka and the people around the country who

supported this demonstration on 6 March expressed solidarity with the 13 points demands. These

demands are now the demands of the God fearing people of this country and they are verylogical demands.

2. The Jatiya Sangsad (national assembly) has to pass laws with the provision of death penaltyas the highest punishment for maligning Allah, Prophet (pbuh), and Islam.

Explanation: No country or society has ever supported the malicious slandering of religion. Noone has the right to insult anothers faith. Yet we see a certain religious fanatics, extremist

apostates, and atheists maligning religion. For this reason many countries have strict laws topunish this kind of people who maliciously incite hatred.

But it is an unfortunate reality that the second largest Muslim country Bangladesh, where 90

percent of the people are Muslims, is infested with atheist and apostate fanatics who arecontinuously attacking Islam in the vilest manner. To punish these wretched wrongdoers thescholars and the God fearing people have long been demanding for the death penalty to be

incorporated into a law against such malicious slanderous propagation. But no government has

paid slightest attention to this important and fair demand. Recently the extreme obscenities bythe bloggers related to the Shahbag movement have been exposed. These bloggers wrote the

most disgusting and sickening slanders about Islam and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Prior to this

the highest court of the country directed the government to take appropriate action against thesecrimes. But the government did not act. People like Salman Rushdie and Taslima Nasrin insultedreligion in various manners. The people ousted them from the country. Insulting religion has

become a dangerous trend now. Atheists, apostates, and a few non Muslims haters of Islam are

now carrying out this kind of activities in an organized manner. They are doing this using blogs,facebook, twitter and other social media. The God loving people of this country cannot accept

this. So it has become absolutely necessary to pass a law making the death penalty the highest

punishment for obscene insults of religion. To prevent any kind of communal violence andunrest in the country this kind of strict law is necessary as well.

The holy Quran and Hadis mention in several places that death is the just punishment for atheistsand apostates. It is not necessary to change the government structure or create an Islamic state

for such kind of punishment. The way the Shariah regulates marriages, divorces, distribution of

property similarly this law can be implemented. If there is a law against insulting the late

President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman then it is only reasonable that there should be a law to punishthose who insult Allah and the Prophet (pbuh) because crores of people love Allah and the

prophet (pbuh). Why we have to demonstrate and struggle for this? The government should pass

this law on its own accord and fulfill its duty as a government of Muslim people.

3. The campaign and propaganda of the atheists, apostates, and Islam haters connected to the socalled Ganajagaran Mancha must be stopped. And the atheists, apostates, and Islam hating

persons or organizations that are trying to create discord in the country by publishing malicious

and slanderous contents in any medium must be arrested and given exemplary punishment.

Explanation: Even without taking religious sentiment into account such malicious and obscene

slanders should not be accepted in the interest of keeping harmony and peace. This should not beaccepted by any civilized society. Democratic principles do not allow for tolerating such

extremity expressed in the most vile and pornographic language. These people have even

surpassed the westerners. A sane Muslim person cannot even read these fully. We demand thearrest of these bloggers and their punishment. If this is not ensured then national and

international conspirators might seize this opportunity to create havoc in the country which will

eventually threaten the independence and the law and order situation of the country.

4. For the betterment of the country there is no other alternative to empowering the women. Toachieve this we must ensure security, education, health, safe job environment, honourable living,

and fair wages for the women. To secure our women in their homes and in workplaces and toprevent sexual harassment the overall security must be improved and women must be

encouraged to dress modestly and encouraged to wear the hijab. And at the same time the

mingling of men and women immodestly in the public places, harassment of women, openfornication and adultery, sexual harassment, all forms of violence against women, the tradition

of dowry, and other forms of oppression on women must be stopped and dealt with strictly.

Explanation:The atheist bloggers connected with the so called Ganajagarn Mancha did not

stop at insulting and mocking God, the Prophet (pbuh), Islam, and the Muslims. They have

openly waged war against the traditional practices of this society. Men and women are not onlyopenly mixing in the streets but they are spending nights together in the streets under one tent.This is happening in Shahbag which cannot be accepted even taking into account no religious

considerations.

The culture nourished at Shahbag will threaten the safety of the women first. Hefazat-e-Islam

included this demand to protect the women. Islam made the hijab mandatory to protect womenfrom harassment and at the same time Islam created this wonderful balance by ordering the men

to lower their gaze and maintain appropriate distance with unrelated women. So, there is no

reason why women should not get out of their homes and go to work wearing hijab or wearing

clothes that are not sexually provocative. Islam takes the safety of women very seriously. We arevery clear on this issue. There is nothing to prevent women from getting out of their homes,

receiving education, and going to work wearing the hijab or dressing in a manner that is modest.

For instance if there can be separate colleges and schools for women then it should not be a

problem to create separate workplaces for them.

7. Mocking Islamic attires like the Kufi, beard, and other Islamic culture in radio and television

must be stopped. The disgusting practice of making antagonists in plays and in cinemas wear

Islamic attires and thus creating anti Islamic feelings among the youth has to stop too.

Explanation: The mocking of Islam in the media has increased dangerously. Characters of

murderers, rioters, terrorists, and traitors are shown wearing Pajama-Punjabi, and kufi and beard.These are clear attempts to demean Islam and Muslims. This cannot go no in a country of 90

percent Muslims neither can it be termed as expression of free thought. The result of this can be

seen now. The way the Shahbagis are attacking people with beard and kufi and elderly Muslimsand the way they are attacking the Islamic culture is rarely seen even in non Muslim countries.

So the logic behind this demand hardly needs to be explained.

8. Muslims must be able to freely go to the mosques, including the national mosque, and be able

to pray and carry out other religious activities.

Explanation: Currently the government is trying to control mosques and Madrasa for politicalreasons. Recently the gates of the national mosque Baitul Mukarram have been blockaded, police

shot at the worshippers in the mosque, shot tear gas shell, harassed people, entered the mosque

wearing boots, and humiliated the Muslims. There have been numerous instances of preventingreligious conferences and talks by not giving permission to hold conference or even by takingaway the microphones. This is a clear violation of the right of the Muslims in this country. The

government cannot impose its political views on people.

9. The anti Islamic and anti Bangladesh NGOs and Christian missionaries across the country,particularly in Chittagong must be stopped.

Explanation: The western Christian world has deep conspiratorial plans to implement in

Chittagong. This is not a secret anymore. Mass conversions in the Chittagong hill areas have

reached such epidemic proportion that it has become a threat for the countrys security. A fewnotorious NGOs are targeting poor areas where they are giving aid to convert Muslim children

and elderly people to Christianity. This is very worrying indeed. Our demand is that government

must identify these people by using its intelligence and expel them from the country to protect its

security.

10. The Quadiyanis must be declared non Muslims and their propaganda and covert activities

must be stopped.

Explanation: The Quadiyanis are in deep conspiracy to convert the simple Muslims of this

country to their fake religion. Golam Ahmad Quadiyani at times claimed to be the finalmessenger, at times Jesus (pbuh), and also claimed at times to be Imam Mahdi. His followers

now claim to be Muslims. Many simple Muslims have been deceived by this group. To stop

them the government must declare them non Muslims and follow the example of other Muslim

countries. This has also been a long time demand of ours.

11. Attacks, suppression, oppression, threats and intimidation, indiscriminate shooting and

killing of God and prophet loving people, scholars, madrasa students, and imams must be

stopped.

Explanation: Scholars, madrasa students, imams, and God loving people have faced muchoppression in trying to raise their fair and just demands. They have been intimidated by

government brutes. The police shot them indiscriminately and carried out genocide. This must be

stopped. This cannot go on in an independent and democratic country.

12. The arrested students, teachers and scholars be must be released and the cases against themmust be withdrawn immediately.

Explanation: During the movement of Hefazat-e-Islam to restore faith, creed, countrys

security, socio-cultural values, and religion many scholars, imams, khatibs, and innocent people

were arrested. They have been charged with false cases. Many people lost their lives and manywere injured who are receiving treatment now. We demand the immediate release of the arrested

and compensations for the dead and the injured.

13. The rights of the minorities must be protected. Measures must be taken to maintaincommunal harmony and peace.

Explanation: Bangladesh is a bright example of communal harmony and peace. People ofdifferent faiths have lived happily side by side for centuries. To ruin this wonderful image of our

country and spoil the peace a group of conspirators are exerting their best efforts. We demand

that the perpetrators who attacked on the minorities and their places of worship must beidentified immediately and be brought to justice. We urge the government to keep vigilant watch

to ensure the safety of the Hindus, Buddhists, Christians and people of other faiths.
