GREAT DEBATE : IS JAMAT DEMOCRATIC? A debate between S A Hannan and Fatemolla Published on September 30, 2007
fatemolla rebutes: Jamaate islami is not a democratic party
Salaam to all.
Sir Hannan posted - "Jamaate islami is a democratic and law-abiding party".
I humbly disagree. Jamat is a Meer Jaffor resurrected; a killer/rapist party as the world and I personally saw in profusion in 1971. Mass murder and mass-rape cannot be Law-abiding.
With its founder remaining as its Amir for about 3 decades Jamat now poses democratic by part-taking in national and party-electoral process. But democracy is not that simple and superficial. Election is a tiny little part of democracy. Democracy is about rule of just law, about civil rights and responsibilities, about gender equity, about racial and religious indiscrimination, about personal freedom within social limits, about transparency of the government, about vertical and horizontal accountability of the governors to the governed and above all, establishment and protection of Human Rights. Democracy is not denying all of the above behind the curtain of electoral process, - and certainly not about hiding cruel laws behind sweet talks. It is not about confusing sin with crime and virtue with job-promotions. Democracy is not about an Amir to bless and punish people according to some people's personal understanding of the divine secret. It is about keeping a just social administration of the people by the people for the people.
Jamat�s anti-democratic character is constantly and amply reflected in its daily The Sangram. Apart from crude unsophisticated distortion of facts and documents, Sangram is full of laughable, rude and childish political summersault, crookedness, violence, taunt, selff-contradiction, white lies, enormous hate-preaching and roars. Those may be efficient BD-politics but can stem only from Himalayan egoistic singularism that is the very antithesis of democracy. See bellow:-
�Through a convention held in Dacca from 25th 27 May 1979 The Jamaat emerged with its traditional spirit, system and characteristics adopted by its founder Al-Ustaz Syed Abul A�la Al Maudoodi (Rahmahullah)� � Introducing Jamate Islami Bangladesh � page 5.
So, what are the spirit, system and characteristics adopted by Al-Ustaz Syed Abul A�la Al Maudoodi (Rahmahullah)? Hundreds of proofs there, listen to two from his books:-
1. �Islam, speaking from the viewpoint of political philosophy, is the very antithesis of secular Western democracy� - Islamic Law And Constitution.
2. �The system of this (Islamic) government is such that it does not leave much room for man to exercise his own free will� - �A Short History of the Revivalist Movement in Islam�.
Jamat is world's THE strongest anti-democratic force with false democratic attire.
How Islamic (all religious) parties can be, rather MUST BE banned under democratic constitution is another story.
Regards.
Hasan Mahmud.
