The West’s newest export: jihad mass murder.
“Briton arrested over deadly Bangladesh cafe siege,” AFP, August 4, 2016:
Dhaka (AFP) – A British national and a student at a Canadian university who were dining at a Bangladeshi cafe when it was besieged by jihadists last month have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the attack.
Police said Hasnat Karim, a British citizen of Bangladesh origin, and Tahmid Khan, a University of Toronto student, were arrested late Wednesday in connection with last month’s siege in Dhaka when 20 hostages were murdered.
“We can confirm they were arrested under Section 54 of CrPC (criminal procedure),” police spokesman A.K.M Shahidur Rahman told AFP on Thursday, referring to a law under which police can detain someone on suspicion of any crime.
A court later remanded both men in custody for eight days, deputy commissioner of Dhaka police Aminur Rahman told AFP.
Karim and Khan were both inside the Holey Artisan Bakery when gunmen raided the cafe on the night of July 1, taking a group of mainly Western diners hostage and then killing 20 of them, along with two policemen.
But neither have been seen in public since the end of the siege when commandos stormed the cafe in the capital’s upmarket Gulshan neighbourhood on the morning of July 2.
The men’s families have said they were being held by security forces even though there was no evidence to link them to the attackers.
Police had denied the men were in their custody before announcing the arrest on Thursday.
– ‘My son is innocent’ –
Speaking to AFP after news of the arrest, Karim’s father said his son had been used as a human shield during the siege and that he had helped save lives during the siege.
“I have full confidence in the police investigation,” said Rezaul Karim.
“My son was a hero. He saved the life of at least eight people during the siege. I know him. He is innocent.”
Karim’s London-based lawyer, Rodney Dixon, said his client had “no links to any terrorist group” and demanded his immediate release.
“The authorities have finally admitted that Mr. Karim is in their custody. They have had more than sufficient time to make any inquiries,” Dixon said in a statement.
“There is clearly no evidence to charge him and he should be let go without any further delay.”
Relatives say Karim, his wife and two children were at the cafe to celebrate the 13th birthday of their daughter.
Reports in local media said both men were being investigated for suspicious activity during the siege. They said Khan was seen holding a firearm and Hasnat Karim strolling with the attackers on the roof.
On Tuesday, national police chief. A.K.M. Shahidul Hoque, told reporters that the two had fallen under suspicion as a result of their “behaviour and actions” during the siege….

Evil, pro-Islamic and Anti-Christian West is now exporting Islamic terrorism all over the world. The West is NO different from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or Gaza. You walk around on Fridays and you see millions of hateful and angry muslims coming out of ‘Friday jihad prayers’ and who are full of hateful jihadist fervor ready to carry out suicide bombings and Western animals have NO clue what goes on under their stupid noses.

Once again, “Ex-muslim” is salivating over the specter of his (former?) coreligionists murdering Westerners, who he considers nothing but “animals”.
In what way, exactly, is this poster an “Ex” Muslim?

Every word I said above is correct and extremely true! So focus your criticism on the message not on the messenger. Read the piece again:
“Muslims from UK and Canada arrested over Bangladesh cafe jihad massacre”.
The Anti-Christ West WHICH loves and favors islam is exporting Islamic jihadists to all over the world. Thousands of jihadists travelled from the West to Syria to over throw the Syrian government and are getting money, weaponry and support from the West, especially from the US. Why is this fact not pissing you off?
SHAME ON YOU, GRAVEN!

Your words by themselves may be correct – it’s the intent and meaning after they’re chained together that I doubt.

Ah, I see you’re no longer trying to pretend to be an unaffected third party to CB. Heads up: his play-book is not working so far.

Good point, Ex-muslim!
Not only thousands of islamic jihadists are travelling from to West to wage jihad in Syria and other places but America and the West sent their own air force to help the jihadists in Libya to overthrow the regime of Qaddafi in Libya. US & Nato also bombed Serbia in support of their islamic jihadist allies and carved out two islamic states (Bosnia & Kosovo) for their muslim jihadist allies. Just two days go, a huge stash of US made weaponry abandoned by US-allied jihadists were found in terrorist-held districts in Allepo Syria. Please watch the video below to see the US-made weaponry abandoned by the fleeing jihadists in Allepo:

Funny how you left out Iran – like the rest of the Western-hating bunch. Anyway, try going to the centre of Riyadh or Tehran and carry a sign saying “Jesus Christ is Lord” – written in the local language. I’d tell you to do the same afterwards in any given Western nation, but I doubt you’d be alive to do it.

In this whole game of islamic resurrection in our time, the most startling factor is that the governments of the USA,theUK, Germany, Sweden , France Holland all seem to have turned a blind eye to the atrocities of islam perpetrated on common people of Europe , America and elsewhere .
The terrible emotional cost is only bourn by the innocents. Never in the history of the Western Europe the governments had been so indifferent to the suffering of their peoples . We from outside cannot reconcile with this image of the West,which is pampering and corroborating the islamic activities at the cost of their peoples . Strange indeed!!!!!!.
Has these politicians sold themselves to the Arabs????
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Strange indeed!!!!!!
Liberal, better called globo-socialism, is the most predominant form of stupidity in human history. It opens the big doors wide to the Moslems to enter, just like the way those holy warriors entered Amb. Stevens as he lay dying in Benghazi, to take just one example from so many.

None of this should surprise. Mohamnedans are now using the West as base from which to wage violent Jihad.

That should have been “Mohammedans”.

The tiny minority of extremists just keeps getting less less tiny, but not getting bigger, according to the news entertainers on TV, at least. We’re wandering into a middle zone now, a place where magnitude is relative to the moment, maybe the Twilight Zone, where tiny can be pretty big, and Unicorns can be quite reasonable so you can forget that sharp horn, it’s not really there. It’s only a metaphor; Islam is only a metaphor. But a metaphor for what, I axe.
