>"Living in Banglastan" (Dr. Azad'd headline)

>Dear Rahul,

>Thank you very much for your mails. I came to know
>through your mail that there was something called
>'Mukto-Mona', and it has published my interview.
>Later on I searched through yahoo and google,
>and found the entire interview. I was much
>amused to see that there were a number of attacks
>on me by some primitives living in Helsinki to Los
>Angeles. These articles show how primitive the
>Bangali Muslims have become, they do science
>in the west but still live in the sixth century
>Medina and Mecca.

>I have read your article 'Ethnic Cleansing In
>Bangladesh', which is an "objective documentation of
>the facts" "now" occurring in Bangladesh.

>But things are "much" worse now. The Khabarer Kagaj,
>a weekly, published a long interview with me on 24
>June 2002. I criticized hundreds of things, and in
>answer to a question about the success of the
>government I said, 'The present government has been
>successful in cleansing the Hindus, the present
>government has been successful in extending
>corruption, the present government has been
>successful in making rape a cultural activity,
>and the present government has been successful in
>abducting, murdering, and other fearful activities.'

>Things have worsened by now. They have employed the
>army in eliminating anybody they dislike. I have just

>finished a novel named '10,000, and 1 More Rape'. The

>message of the novel is obvious.

>Yours

>Humayun Azad
