Re: Muslim-Jews Relation : Question of Israeli War Crimes and British conspiracy
Assalamu Alaykum.
It is very sad that one Maqsood Alshams - a Bangladesh-born asylum seeker and founder of a leftist lobby group in Australia named Asia Pacific Human Rights Institute - has demonstrated inhuman racist ugliness through his e-mail exchanges and telephone conversation with Dr. Richard L. Benken. Few days before another Bangladeshi secular leftist journalist named Jahangir Alam Akash - a well-known pet of British network - expressed similar racist hatred.
It may be noted that we have been engaged in Muslim-Jews Dialogue with Dr. Benkin since 2006. We have found Dr. Benkin to be a believer Jew and a good human being, though he is emotionally committed to his own community and to the United States of America - which commitment we consider to be his virtue, and not vice. Both Dr. Benkin and we Agreed to Disagree and continuing our constructive dialogue for peace and justice. On many issues we differ so much that we look like enemies to each other. But none of us ever resorted to inhumanity of racism or exchanges of abusive languages.
Bangladesh Khelafat Andolon opposes both Israeli atrocities against Palestinians and provocative daily rocket attacks on Israel by some Palestinian group from Gaza. We condemn any hate-campaign and racist remarks against the Jews who are our kins as the children of Hazrat Ibrahim as well as the children of our earliest parents Hazrat Adam and Hazrat Eve (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon them). Hazrat Hafezzi Huzur (R.A.), the founder of Bangladesh Khelafat Andolon, said, "Muslims are our brethren in Faith, while non-Muslims are my kins, since we are all children of Adam and Eve (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon them)."
We the people of the Indian sub-continent have been victim of hatred and division between the Hindus and the Muslims deliberately and systematically created and promoted by the British. Before British Colonial rule in the Indian sub-continent Muslims and Hindus did not resort to communal riots and bloodshed. Almost every Muslim ruler had Hindu Generals to lead their army. During British colonial rule, not a single Indian, either Hindu or Muslim, was ever appointed as any top General in the British Indian military. The British systematically divided the Hindus & Muslims and sowed hatred between them. Unfortunately the British policy makers have not till date changed their dirty way to achieve their goals.
Britain is still systematically inciting division, hatred and conflict among India, Pakistan and Bangladesh - while the countries and people of the sub-continent together could become one of the superpowers of the world.
We the Muslims and the Jewish people of the world have been the victim of feud and hatred engineered by the British imperialists - while the Muslims and the Jews together could become a guiding force for the world of Believers.
We are very much aware that it is the British administration who planned and engaged US and others to occupy Afghanistan and Iraq. Britain still wants US to commit more troops to Afghanistan and perpetrate more war crimes in Afghanistan and Pakistan. They already committed huge war crimes in those regions. Now, their attempt to accuse Israel of war crimes has made us highly suspicious about British motives. Do they want to divert our attention from their war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan? Are they afraid of Muslim-Jewish relation? There is indication that Israel is now serious and sincere to give independence to the State of Palestine and therefore they want to help creation of a single Palestinian leadership who can be trusted as non-belligerent peaceful neighbor.
It has been already exposed that the British administration is desperate to keep the animosity and fight continue between the Muslims and Hindus and the Muslims and the Jews. They want to obstruct creation of a single Palestinian leadership and an independent Palestinian State. They want to make Bangladesh vulnerable to occupy its offshore and Oil and Gas blocks.
We urge all concerned to be vigilant, foil conspiracies of neo-colonialist enemies, and remain engaged in improving relationship among the victim communities and states who are targets of the neo-colonialist exploitation and domination.
May Allah Guide us all and protect the underprivileged and weak from the oppression and exploitation of the rogues.
Sincerely yours,
Kazi Azizul Huq
