I Am Not Scared Of Anyone. I

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.

I Have Lectured At The U.n. And Travelled Widely, Giving Lectures On Human Rights And Gender Inequalities In Universities. But This Is A Life I Do Not Wish To Live. I Don't Want To Be A Showcase, I Want To Be In A Battlefield Where I Can Stand Beside The Oppressed And The Poor.

It Is Unfair To Label Me Anti-islam. I Am An Atheist And A Secular Humanist.

Nature Says Women Are Human Beings, Men Have Made Religions To Deny It. Nature Says Women Are Human Beings, Men Cry Out No!

Religion Is Now The First Obstacle To Women's Advancement. Religion Pulls Human Beings Backwards, It Goes Against Science And Progressiveness. Religion Engulfs People With A Fear Of The Supernatural. It Bars People From Laughing And Never Allows People To Exercise Their Choice.
