Muntasir Mamun Living  Amidst Threats to his Life - 2004-07-18


Dr Muntasir Mamun, Professor of History in Dhaka University and a prominent intellectual has been threatened, along with some other liberal and secular intellectual allegedly by religious terrorist outfits in Bangladesh. In this interview Professor Mamun says that he has been threatened to be killed for, what they say, anti -Islamic activities. He says that he has not been saying anything anti-Islamic, although he has always opposed to fundamentalism. He also said that unless relevant actions are taken against these terrorist outfits who have been threatening journalists and intellectuals and have already killed some journalists, the situation can take a serious turn and Islamic fundamentalists will gain ground in Bangladesh. Professor Muntasir Mamun said that the good sign is this that people throughout the world have recognized that no good could be done to religion through fundamentalism and terrorism.
