Dhaka, Bangladesh – Emam Hossain Mohammad Selim, the leader of the non-political movement Hezbbut Tawheed, has asserted that only Islam can truly guarantee human rights, freedom of speech, and absolute justice. He made these remarks during a high-level roundtable discussion with media professionals held at the Fars Hotel & Resorts in Purana Paltan, Dhaka.
Addressing the current global situation, the Emam of Hezbut Tawheed observed that the world is witnessing a "monstrous festival" of human rights violations and the suppression of free speech.
"One Muslim nation after another is being subjected to forced wars. International organizations, including the United Nations, have utterly failed to remedy these injustices. They have been unable to protect even the most basic rights of Muslims in Palestine and Myanmar," he stated.
Turning his attention to the context of Bangladesh, Emam Hossain Mohammad Selim highlighted a worrying rise in lawlessness. He noted that hundreds of "mob justice" incidents have occurred across the country over the last two years, driven by extremist and communal factions intent on creating anarchy.
The Emam proposed a fundamental shift in the prevailing system, arguing that Islam has been unfairly portrayed as a source of fear.
To achieve regional and global stability, he further proposed fostering unity among Muslim nations and increasing interfaith dialogue between different religious communities.
The roundtable was attended by senior leaders of Hezbut Tawheed and prominent members of the journalism community, including:
