Kasem (Bangali), who pretends to be a scholar on religion but has written much
against Islam, its Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) and the Holy Book of
Islam, the Quran, with impunity, no authority or having any solid proofs for his

propagandist, malicious, slanderous and out of context calculations and

thoughts and practices. He belongs to the group of modern ‘free-thinkers type
