Social Fascism vs. Secularism: The Hypocrisy of Power Must Be Exposed – Mahfuz Alam

Let’s delve into Mahfuz’s monologue about “Social Fascism vs. Secularism’s hypocrisy” and unveil its true essence.

It could mean he wants to talk about the conflict between fascism and secular forces. Perhaps he is talking about fascism, or maybe about secular forces. Or he might be addressing fascism or the hypocrisy of secularism. This poorly framed sentence pits fascism and secularism against each other with the word “versus.”

This serves to insult both sides equally.

According to his statement, secularists, despite their oppositional stance against fascism, are hypocrites in his eyes. He calls for the exposure of their hypocrisy. Reading between the lines, one can detect the red thread tied to the warning lights of the Prophet’s Islamic movement.

Even after surfacing from the depths, a village cleric in our locality used to claim, “The palm tree is mine.” Similarly, Mahfuz, what you are not saying fills the blank spaces in your sentences. Brothers and sisters, learn to read the gaps in the narrative—what in English is called “reading between the lines.” That habit will lead you toward the truth.

Let me tell Mahfuz Alam this: The biggest advantage or disadvantage of selecting words from a dictionary is non-communication. Saying things in a convoluted manner effectively ensures no real communication takes place. But in reality, is communication even your goal? You know that, ultimately, the land belongs to the usurpers. Then why all this drama? If people cannot read the gaps between your lines, do you think they will accept the destruction this nation and its people are going through?

No, they won’t.

Because your conversation with the people began with deception. Just as your Jamaat-patriarchs began their “real” dialogue with the people of Bengal in 1971—cloaked in the guise of religion, peace committees, and self-proclaimed jihadi volunteers guarding neighborhoods.

The thoughts of this generation cannot escape the mirror of 1971. Because they stand on the blood-soaked soil of 1971. Even if they don’t believe it. Can one ever step outside of themselves?
