muslim Settlers In Bangladesh Seize Land Used By Church!!! (Land Grabbing)
Bengali-speaking settlers file case against Christians; one threatens, ‘I will finish your life.’
DHAKA, Bangladesh, September 1 (CDN) — Bengali-speaking, Muslim settlers have seized five acres of abandoned government property used by a church and falsedly charged Christians with damaging the land in southeastern Bangladesh’s Khagrachari hill district, Christian leaders said.

More..oti Chakma, field director of Grace Baptist Church in Khagrachari district, told Compass that the settlers had taken over the church building and the five acres of land in Reservechara village in June and filed a case on Aug. 4 against five tribal Christians. The Bengali-speaking Muslims had come from other areas of Bangladesh in a government resettlement program that began in 1980.
“In the case, the settlers mentioned that the Christians had cut the trees and damaged the crops on their land and that they should pay 250,000 taka [US$3,690] as compensation,” said Chakma. “We cultivated pineapple in the land around the church. But the settlers damaged all of our pineapple trees and built two houses there.”
The government has allowed the Christians to use the land. Tribal leaders said that land-grabbing in the area hill tracts, undulating landscape under Dighinala police jurisdiction 300 kilometers (186 miles) southeast of the Dhaka, began again during the army-backed interim government of 2007-2008.
“It is still continuing, and our demands to stop land-grabbing do not rate very high with the administration and law enforcement agencies,” said one of the accused, 32-year-old Mintu Chakma.
When he went to the police station regarding the false case filed against the Christians, he said, the leader of the Bengali settlers was there and threatened him in front of officers, telling him, “I can devour dozens of people like you – I will finish your life.”
Church leaders have informed a nearby army camp of the seizure. Military officers said they would take action, but they have done nothing so far, Christians said.
“Our leaders informed the army zone commander, and he assured us they would take necessary action, but nothing has happened so far against those land grabbers and arsonists,” said 25-year-old Liton Chakma (Chakma is the name of the tribe), one of the Christians accused in the Grace Baptist case.
The Muslim settlers had burned a Seventh-day Adventist Church building in 2008 in Boachara village, close to the Grace Baptist Christians’ village, in an effort to frighten tribal people away from becoming Christian, said Liton Chakma. He told Compass that Bengali settlers had also hindered their attempt to construct the church building in August in 2007.
“Many new believers saw nothing had happened to the arsonists, and many of them reverted to their previous Buddhism,” he said. “The army and local administration allowed them to run wild. They always threaten to beat us and file cases against us.”
Mintu Chakma said that Muslim settlers seized a garden next to his house in 2007.
“They not only destroyed my pineapple garden, but they built a mosque there,” he said.
Land Ownership
Local police inspector Suvas Pal told Compass that neither tribal people nor Bengali settlers were the owners of that land. It is government-owned, abandoned land, he said.
“The Bengali settlers claim that the land was assigned to lease to them, but we did not find any copy of lease in the deputy commissioner’s office,” said Pal. “On the other hand, the tribal people could not show any papers of their possession of the land.”
Investigating Officer Omar Faruque told Compass that the Muslim settlers had built two houses there, though they did not live there or nearby.
“I told the Bengali settlers that if they [tribal Christians] worship in the church there, then do not disturb them,” said Faruque.
Dipankar Dewan, headman of the tribal community, told Compass that the tribal Christians have an historical claim to the land.
“The land belonged to the forefathers of tribal Christians, so they can lay claim to the property by inheritance,” said Dewan.
During conflict between tribal people and Bengali people in the hill tracts, the tribal people left the country and took shelter in neighboring India, leaving much of their land abandoned. Bengali settlers took over some of the land, while the government leased other tracts to Bengali settlers, Dewan said.
“Many lands of the tribal people were grabbed in the hill tracts in the two years of state-of-emergency period of the previous army-backed, interim government,” he said. “Those Bengali settlers tried to grab the land during the tenure of the army-backed, interim government.”
Members of the Shanti Bahini, tribal guerrillas who fought for autonomy in the hill tracts, ended a 25-years revolt in the Chittagong Hill Tracts area in 1997 under a peace treaty in which the government was to withdraw troops and restore land acquired by settlers to local tribesmen.
Some 2,000 Shanti Bahini guerrillas surrendered their weapons following the 1997 treaty. But the tribal people say many aspects of the treaty remain unfulfilled, including restoration of rights and assigning jobs to them.
The guerrillas had fought for autonomy in the hill and forest region bordering India and Burma (Myanmar) in a campaign that left nearly 8,500 troops, rebels and civilians killed.
Recently the Awami League government ordered one army brigade of nearly 2,500 troops to pull out from the hill tract, and the withdrawal that began early last month is expected to be completed soon. Four brigades of army are still deployed in the hill tracts comprising three districts – Rangamati, Khagrachari and Bandarban.

ROFL, when Poland was full of Jews before WWII and they dominated the legal profession when a peasant bowed to a Jewish lawyer and said "good day" the Jew would turn his head away and wouldn't even reply. Replying to the "good day" counted as legal consultation. There was a charge of two zloty for that.

"proclaim it over all religion" means convert to Islam or we'll cut your ******* head off. No thanks, Islam is for terrorists, and the Qu'ran is its terrorist manifesto.

How is it that you conclude that Hammer is making fake verses? It appears that he is quoting the Yusuf Ali version. It really doesn't matter, whether you are reading from Ahmed Ali, The Noble Qur'an, Pickthal, Shakir, or Yusuf Ali, none of them paint a very pretty picture. I feel sorry for you muslims, you are the first victims of Islam. Hope you can find your way out.
BTW, Hammer, how can I get paid to post on Islam? LMAO!

I'm just guessing here, but you're a Muslim, right. Spreading the love of Allah and promoting Islam as a Religion of Peace? Emulating Mohammad, the most perfect human being ever, right? I thought so. I could tell from your kind, gentle words.

hahaha. we are happy with our true religon-Islam.
perverted, brainless you.
We all muslims never sneer at religions. But all non-muslims are desecrating about Islam. Thats a proof about the truth of Islam.
Imperialists and zionists try to shown Islam, as war only. But Allah says;
Quran 2/190. And fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you, and do not exceed the limits, surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits.
Do you see? "With those, who fight with you"
And if you look, all of the wars against Islam are in the Islam-Lands. Not in America, not in europa, not anywhere.
If you try to learn true Islam, go to mosque and ask
"I want to learn true Islam". Try it.

hahah ugly stinky hindu, a little fact about ur brabaric religion REAd.
In Hindu tradition, the four main castes are said to have originated from the head, arms, thighs, and feet respectively of Purusa, the creator; Brahmin, who are at the system's top, are seen as mediators between the human and divine world and are the most %u2018pure%u2019. The members of the fifth caste, at the bottom of the system, were probably the aboriginal inhabitants of the country, and are known variously as scheduled castes, depressed classes, untouchables, The untouchables do the most menial and potentially defiling work, such as handling animal products, garbage, and human wastes, and so are considered to be polluting by touch, or even by sight, to others. They are treated as a race apart and have to live separate lives from the other jati.
