Do our girls understand?” .

 

“There are numerous strategies for establishing fundamentalism. One is the use of poster girls or propaganda girls. This happened in Iran. Khomeini’s army recruited numerous unburqad girls to put in front of them. The fundamentalists recruited many brainless women who looked modern, had certificates and diplomas, and had attended prestigious universities. The aim was to mislead secular, liberal, progressive, and ordinary unquestioning religious people. To gain credibility. The first step in establishing theocracy is deception. Modernists without burqas are attractive fodder for that deception. Who is most afraid of theocracy? Women. That is why Shariatists recruit many unburqad girls with degrees to gain women’s trust. Or they are already made in a modern mold. As part of the g**/had. Muslim society is historically uneducated, simple, stupid, and poor. They have a degree fetish. The girls that the fundamentalists I see that in the front row, they have no political training. In dealing with the social crises that exist in Bangladesh, village ward member Salek Mia is more prudent than Oxford returnee Moshammat Begum. Look at the panchayat or the Shalish, you will find proof. Then why are some brainless Oxford Harvard graduates suddenly being shown as 'politicians'? Because of deception and propaganda. Attracting fools by showing degrees, bad education, and not wearing a burqa. But we cannot fall into this trap. Especially women, we must be careful now about the poster girls of fundamentalism. If fundamentalism is established in Bangladesh, there is no harm to Mohiuddin Mohammad, which women will suffer. Ruhollah Khomeini used to say very beautiful things. He will do this for women, he will build heaven, and stupid Iranian women believed him. The result? Today's Iran, where because of showing hair Mashah Aminis are being killed. Girls are being taken away if they send messages to boys on their mobile phones. Sharia police are monitoring – is anyone saying I love you to anyone or not, are lovers walking together? Even if you want to apply snow-powder-cream on your face, you need permission from Sharia police. If you walk with lipstick on your lips, you are being taken to the police station. You have to get a chastity certificate from the hospital before marriage. This is the situation. Do our girls understand?”
