Bangladesh Hints At Removing Islam As State Religion
Channel: Atheist Republic
Date: 2021-11-16

In the wake of anti-Hindu violence and destruction that swept across Bangladesh in October, the Junior Minister for Information Murad Hassan, said he would speak to Parliament to begin plans to revert to the 1972 constitution, referring to the nation’s original firm secularism before the creation of constitutional amendments that marked Islam as the state religion. He added that Bangladesh would not become a haven for religious fundamentalists. This appears to be an attempt to address the continuing violent animosity between the country’s Muslims and the Hindu minority. Hassan expressed his confidence that the Parliament could pass the amendment with little opposition. The likelihood of this happening is another matter. Secular activists with an eye on Bangladesh remain highly skeptical of these measures being successfully passed amidst the current climate of rising Islamism.
