Bangladesh: Five Muslims plotted jihad attack at International Society for Krishna Consciousness temple in Dhaka

Mar 5, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

If the plot had been by Krishna devotees at a mosque, it would be international news. But no one will take any notice of this.

“Plan to sabotage ISKCON temple in capital,” The Independent (Bangladesh), February 11, 2020:

A Dhaka court yesterday placed five members of banned militant outfit Ansar-al-Islam on four-day remand each in a case lodged under Anti-terror Act. The remanded suspected militants were identified as Nijam Uddin, 21, Rayhan Bhuiyan, 20, Hanif Uddin Suman, 19, Sheikh Iftekharur Islam alias Arif, 25 and Mufti Muslim, 27.

The Counter-Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) arrested five suspected members of the banned militant outfit Ansar al-Islam alias Ansarullah Bangla Team from Dhaka last night.

The militants were planning to carry out an act of sabotage at the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) temple in the capital….

Ilias Sharif, the joint commissioner of the CTTC unit, said that the militants were planning to sabotage the ISKCON temple in the capital and its others establishments in the country but police arrested them before they could carry out their heinous plan. Ilias Sharif said this at a press briefing at DMP media centre yesterday….

CTTC officials said that they arrested three people who had planned to sabotage the ISKCON temple in November last year.

During their interrogation, the name of a militant, Nazmul alias Usman Gani alias Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, an immigrant from Kuwait, came up. Nazmul was one of the plotters in a conspiracy to assassinate Khijir Hayat Khan, a film director who makes anti-terrorist films.

Nazmul planned the massacre through a group called Eso-Kafelaboddho-Hoi in Kuwait through online chats. Later, he returned to Bangladesh and tried to coordinate the militants. He chalked out plans to sabotage the ISKCON temple again….

During primary interrogation, the arrestees said they follow the ideology of Ansar-al-Islam. They came to Dhaka for training and to carry out destructive activities to implement their organisation’s ideals. Responding to Nazmul’s call, they met at a secret meeting place in Dhaka.

There was another militant from Dubai with them named Abu Qaiser alias Rony. Abu Qaiser, too, was conspiring to sabotage the ISKCON temple and assassinate Khijir Hayat Khan. He, too, arrived in Bangladesh recently.

CCTC members have also embarked on a campaign to arrest him. About the arrested militants, CCTC officer Elias Sharif said Nijam Uddin worked at a madrasa in Chattogram.

Rayhan Bhuiyan was in Malaysia and had come to Bangladesh recently. Hanif Uddin Suman worked for a ship-breaking yard in Chattogram. Sheikh Iftekharur Islam alias Arif holds a master’s degree with honours in Veterinary Medicine from Mymensingh Agricultural University and Mufti Muslim works at a madrassa in Boalmari of Faridpur. A case was filed in Sabujbag police station under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

    Having read three books by Robert Spencer, I must conclude these things: 1) Never be a Muslim, 2) Be very careful if/when a Muslim offers to be your friend, 3) Muslims will consider nothing less than a completely Muslim world, 4) If you are a Jew, never live in a Muslim neighborhood.

    “Five Muslims plotted jihad attack at International Society for Krishna Consciousness temple in Dhaka”

    Then maybe it’s time five persons of a non-muslim persuasion attacked the holy mosque of Mecca?

    …………………….

    Just surprised they were stopped. Probably just because Ansar-al-Islam presents a threat to the Muslim leadership of Bangladesh, as well.

    I once encountered Hari Krishnas on the streets of Tehran in early 1980s offering me Krishna literature in Persian. The guy was Iranian and I was stunned. They even had a vegetarian restaurant Govinda’s. I wondered how they were able to get away with it and for how long?

      Apparently Govinda’s is still there, which greatly surprised me. Somehow they’ve managed not to catch the gimlet eye of the vicious Mullahs.

    Great Hindu Sage Vyas Prophesied, 5000 Years ago, about the Establishment of a Destructive Religion. Destruction, what we see today is the Materialization of the Prophesy.
