The Cyber Security Act (CSA) is Just One More Example of the Contradictions in the Secular Ruling System – a System that is Unfit for Humankind

Hasina government has passed the Cyber Security Act (CSA) Bill on Wednesday in Parliament. The draconian Digital Security Act has been replaced with this new law just like the same old wine in a new bottle. This law empowers the police to arrest and search without warrant. Section 43 of the previous Digital Security Act (DSA) has been kept intact under section 42 of the CSA. Moreover, the government has said that cases filed under the DSA will continue and people who are imprisoned will continue to serve punishment even though the DSA has been replaced. The secular intellectuals and civil rights activists have opined that the CSA will not stop criminalizing people’s freedom of expression.

O People! This is not surprising that secular Hasina government continues suppressing individuals and groups that dare to raise grievances. Because, this is the nature of rulers of the manmade secular ruling system that serves the interests of themselves and certain powerful groups. But what is more surprising is the stubbornness and genuine insincerity of the secular intellectuals of the country who do not admit that their professed secular liberalism is not the panacea for people’s freedom. Still, they cry for liberal values whereas their secular liberal ideology has never ceased to create tyrants across the globe. How can the very manmade system that creates tyrants be the solution of the problems of humankind!

The fact is secular liberal ideas are inherently flawed due to its being linked with the human mind which is limited and biased. The so-called notions of ‘freedom’ and ‘human rights’ the liberal system proclaims are not based on the rulings of the Creator; instead, they are founded upon the Greek ideas of rationality and reason with no objective morality. Thus, we see that the western civilization has not yet been able to define the terms ‘just’, ‘freedom’, ‘rights’ with their godless ‘rational mind’ in light of their liberal ideologies. Rather they have exploited these terms and sacrificed their ‘liberal ideas’ time to time for their political interests. Let alone in a country like Bangladesh, even ‘freedom’ and ‘human rights’ are smothered in birth places of democracy like France and America. America, which ‘forces’ democracy worldwide, is the champion in violating ‘human rights’ in various parts of the world, e.g., Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, etc. France that takes pride in upholding ‘personal freedom’ curbs Muslim women’s freedom to wear Hijab. Moreover, according to Liberties Report on Media Freedom 2023, even media freedom is in steady decline due to abusive laws and persecution in advanced European democratic countries like France, Germany, Netherland, Sweden, Bulgaria, and Hungary.

O People! To secure your true liberty and freedom from the manmade tyranny, you must reject the false creed of secular liberalism without any delay. The upholders of secular ideology are not letting you to identify the root of the problem you are facing. You must realize by now that this corrupt ideology is the main problem and tyranny you are facing in the form of oppressive government and its various draconian measures are mere symptoms. So, unless you strive to uproot this corrupt manmade secular ruling system and reestablish the promised Khilafah Rashidah (rightly-guided Caliphate) on the method of the Prophethood, this secular tyranny will never end

Allah (swt) says,

[الر كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ لِتُخْرِجَ النَّاسَ مِنْ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَى صِرَاطِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ]

“Alif, Lam, Ra. [This is] a Book which We have revealed to you that you might bring mankind out of darkness into the light by permission of their Lord – to the path of the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy” [Surah Ibrahim: 1].
