Bangladeshi woman
journalist Nadia Sharmeen aged 26 who was beaten up badly by the
Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh goons, now appears to be more courageous,
committed and determined in her journalistic career. Being a Muslim
woman, she has every Islamic right to continue with this decent and
dignified job. Therefore, she speaks out in clear, strong and spirited
words leaving some straightforward questions that create sparks in every
thinking Muslim mind and require us to find their answers from the
Hefazat-e-Islam ideologues:
“Why would I give it
(journalism) up because of some cowards? Who are they if not cowards?
When 50- 60 or more of them beat up one unarmed woman? Is that their way
of showing respect to women? How can they claim to be protectors of
Islam when they treat women this way? How can they protect Islam if they
can't protect a woman journalist at their own event?” (Political Islam
