Bangladesh is an Islamic nation. Jihad is essential and eternal part of Islam. Jihad(Kafirs call it Islamic Terrorism) is supported whole heartedly by Ummah. This is the only reason of its sustenence for more than 14 centuries. Bangladeshi govt. officials and politicians should not be blamed for their support to Jihad, they are faithful,silent and annonymous soldiers of Ummah.Kafirs are not intrested in solving this global problem of jihad. They should accept Islam. this is the easiest solution.

Post 9/11 and the United States-led War on Terror, many Islamist outfits under the American scanner have found Bangladesh an easy country to disappear in. The huge amount of foreign aid flowing into the country also makes money laundering relatively easy. A detailed series of articles on Bangladesh's nexus with jehadists is given in:

Iqbal, I'm not sure why you would post something like that. It sounds like you're a troll hoping to wave a red flag in front of a bull. But if your comments are serious, then you need to open your eyes and see that the computer you're typing on was built in a developed country. The internet you're connecting to was designed in a developed country. The software that you're using was likewise designed in a developed country. Etc, etc. The future increasingly belongs to open-minded thinking, reasoning people and not to religious primitives longing for the return of some primitive past with its primitive value system from centuries ago.

I'm posting my reply to you, because I'm upset with a recent attack in my home country, India. One of our Indian Institutes of Science was attacked by killers armed with AK47s and grenades, with one scientist killed on the spot and others seriously wounded. While the culprits have not immediately been identified, the target and location of the attack, along with the method of attack would make me suspect jihadi groups.

These days jihadi terrorists want to attack infrastructure targets, because they feel this is the best way to undermine the infidels. Just like the Bombay bombings which targetted India's stock exchange, or even the attack on India's parliament. Besides Dr Puri who was killed in yesterday's Bangalore attack, also seriously injured was Dr Chandru, who had invented the Simputer, which is a very low-cost laptop computer to be distributed among the nation's poor.

When I hear about these vicious attacks, or even incidents of Taliban burning down girls' schools in Afghanistan to stop the US rehabilitation of women in the country, then I am quite positive that the terrorists are evil people, and not well-intentioned misunderstood freedom fighters. So just remember that every time you launch a vile attack like this, it only pulls more people off the fence and into the fight against you. I'm not sure if it's the language of force that you respect, or the language or persuasion, or the language of resolve -- frankly, I'm not even looking for your respect. We're really far past that point now.

But eventually, as your own stupidity and callousness does you in, leaving you totally isolated from the rest of the world and wondering why, you'll be left by yourself looking in the mirror. And that's where you're going to find the ugly and unpleasant answer as to how you ended up where you did.

Just be careful not to drop your soap-on-a-rope in the meantime.

Sanman, if I'm not mistaken, Iqbal's writing was done in a tongue-in-cheek manner (though I've been burnt once before assuming this with the troll, Naseem). He is right that the Bangladeshi govt. is doing precisely what is demanded of it by their terrorist manual, the Koran. And he is also right that if us Kafirs refuse to be serious about fighting the ummah.. we are done for; and might as well start practising the Islamic Kalimah.

Sanman,

Not taken (who was) your reason for your post, your words are well written and very well thought out.

Glad to have read your post, I hope for the injured to recover and be well.

Sanman

I agree w/ Razdan - I too read this as a tongue in cheek.

Sanman,cancer of Islam has acquired alarming proportions. Without doubt Hindus are worst sufferers of Jihad. Nobody knows how many hindus were killed by jihadis, one study says 80 to 90 million perished. Historically, hindus were aware about this Criminal Ideology------Johar( burning themselves to death, rather becoming sex slaves of muslim conquerors) by Hindu women is the example. At present hindus do not know what Islam is? If you ask a professor of history in your country about Jizia----invariable answer is "It was a tax on hindus(during islamic rule) taken back by Akbar and reimposed by Aurangjzeb. Hindus do not know about the Jizia under which they were slaved for thousand years. They do not know that Jizia is a Koranic sanction, even today hindus are paying this tax to Govt. of India. Rs.150 crores Haj subsidy given annually to muslims in India is nothing but a Jizia. What a shame about his ignorance, when the Director of Indian Instituteof science, Banglore says on TV screen that he doesn't know the motive of jihadi murder committed in his campus. Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. If hindus want to remain independent and prosper they must be made aware of the past. The need of the hour is to teach hindus about Koran and Sunnah. They should be made aware about evil nature of these two basic pillars of the Islam. It is nice to see that Jihad Watch is doing a noble service to the mankind by making them aware about this "Cult of crime."

Practically all governments of islamic countries have shifted to tacit support of Jihadi groups.
What happens in Bangladesh is not surprising.
There is no Islamic country in the world now that is becoming more mellow.
They are all well down the road to greater primitivism.
