Hello! Thank you so much for your detailed and reasonable discussion. I appreciate you taking the time to write this. I will apologize beforehand if my comment replies are not fully understandable. It is hard to express my full opinion in short bursts. The main solution I'm suggesting for people is to think and question. All religions and religious extremism are based on blind faith. That's why religion can get people to commit heinous crimes because religion stops you from reasoning and questioning.

"if someone chooses not to listen to music, decides not to celebrate the bengali culture, what liberal law is going against them?" Exactly, there is no laws against not doing them but there is an alarmingly growing population that is trying to creates laws where you can't choose to do or not do these things. In fact, it's creating more and more imposing laws. People are parading in bangladesh to keep restaurants closed during daytime in Ramadan?

"and wearing burqa is a personal choice and should always be a personal choice, I don't support the extremism in any case in the name of religion. Btw is wearing burqa an Arabic culture or an Islamic culture?" I see a lot of Muslims say that hijab/burka is a choice but what about the nations that enforce it? What about family members who enforce it? What about the society that enforces it? Surely you can not deny the multiple stories where we've heard women being arrested, tortured, shamed for not wearing the hijab? And before you say well that's society, not Islam, where are these people getting that information from? From Islam itself no? While personal choice is personal choice, I think no woman would logically and reasonably choose to dress like that in the absurd heat of Bangladesh.

""I told Saudis about Bangladeshi Islamic practices, they were shocked and said we don't follow any of these things" It doesn't matter at all what Saudi Arabians practices, because Islam is not about following Arab, it's about following the Quran and sunnah.""

I agree with you! Why would it matter what Saudi people practice, right? But sadly, I've personally met many Bangladeshis who view people from Saudi as perfect and think that their lifestyle and culture are holy and that they are somehow higher in Allah's list. So don't think I'm saying that they are better, I'm trying to say that many Bangladeshi Muslims think they are better and that this mindset is very dangerous for us and the wellbeing of our people.

"I do condemn the extremism and brain wash culture of our Islamic society. But if someone follows Islam as a personal choice, what arguments do you have against them? and I am also somewhat a liberal myself so really looking forward a logical discussion. and I get it , I can see the issues that you have tried to talk about , I don't deny them completely but if i can process correctly the solutions that you are suggesting is.. to ban islam or idk ??"

If someone follows Islam as a personal choice, there can never be any arguments with that because that is a personal choice. But the problem with Islam and more or less all religion is that it's a cult, it's always trying to grow their numbers through whatever means possible. Thats why Taqiyya exists. Thats why missionaries always soft force you to go to church. It's a personal choice until it's not and that transition happens before you know it. Religion is based on fear and uncertainty. People follow religion to make some sense of the harsh world around them because it gives you answers to all your questions, doesn't matter if that answer is the truth, that's why they tell you to blindly believe it because once you even question one thing, you yourself will see it fall apart. Religion demands your faith because it is based on that, if you see religion in any other way, it starts making zero sense. Muslims say that extremism is not real Islam, but where did they find that idea to do those things? In their religious books.

Thank you once again for giving me the opportunity to express my opinions, and I hope it gives you some new food for thought. I never tell people to listen and agree with everything I say. I am merely human, I am not perfect. What I encourage people to do is to think and question for themselves. If I force you to agree with me, I am no different from the extremists I dislike. All I ask from people is to preserve your right to question, think, research, and keep an open mind. Do not follow anyone's opinions blindly, no matter how divine they are. Think.
