Birds of a Feather ….

Following the shock election of Donald Trump reaction from the Muslim world has been understandably negative .  It’s not just Muslims who are appalled by a fascist  becoming president – even the ambassador of Secular France tweeted this.

However the leader of one Muslim nation DID congratulate Mr Trump in true fawning style. Guess who ?

• • Muslim country congratulating ‘His Excellency’ Donald Trump

    Bangladeshi prime minister sends fawning letter praising his ‘extraordinary leadership to serving the American people and global humanity’ – despite his campaign trail statements about Muslims

    The Independent article mentions:

    “Excellency,” Ms Hasina’s letter begins, “On behalf of the Government and the people of Bangladesh, I convey our congratulations to you on your election as the 45th President of the United States of America.

    Also : In the same year, however, the leak of a cable from Ms Clinton’s State Department did expose some differences with the Bangladeshi government.

    Written in 2010, the cable suggested that the war crimes tribunal set up by Ms Hasina’s ruling Awami League party to try suspects over alleged atrocities during the 1971 war of independence from Pakistan was also being used to crush political opponents.

    Making claims that were subsequently denied by the Bangladeshi government, the cable, made public by Wikileaks, said “There is little doubt that hard-line elements within the ruling party believe the time is right to crush Jamaat-e-Islami and other Islamic parties.”

Why on earth would the nationalist leader of a proud independent nation such as ‘Bangladesh’ write such a fawning letter to a Bideshi leader?

Of course Sheikh Hasina is the authentic voice of Bengali Muslims !

Compare this fawning letter from the leader of East Pakistan to the dignified message from the leader of West Pakistan , Nawaz Sharif.
