I Am Not Scared Of Anyone. I

Religion, Society And State - From None Of These Do Women Get Their Proper Honor. It Is Religion, Which Has Created An Unparalleled Disparity Between Men And Women.

I’m An Atheist, And I Believe Religion Is Totally Against Human Rights And Women’s Rights.

I Have Had Fatwas Issued Against Me, Some Three In Bangladesh And Another Five In India. I Will Not Be Cowed By These Threats And Shall Fight For My Rights.

I Was Born In A Middle Class Muslim Family, In A Small Town Called Myonenningh In A Northern Part Of Bangladesh In 1962. My Father Is A Qualified Physician; My Mother Is A Housewife. I Have Two Elder Brothers And One Younger Sister. All Of Them Received A Liberal Education In Schools And Colleges.

If Any Religion Allows The Persecution Of The People Of Different Faiths, If Any Religion Keeps Women In Slavery, If Any Religion Keeps People In Ignorance, Then I Can't Accept That Religion.
