Following arrest of Bangladeshi youth Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis in United States for his attempt of bombing the Federal Reserve Bank in New York City, foreign and local intelligence agencies as well as counter-terrorism experts are already trying to identify the roots of such Jihadist indoctrination. The counter-terrorism experts are also expressing grave concern at the huge growth of Jihadist-mindset people within the posh educational institutions. They said, while in recent past the Islamic schools or madrassas were identified as breeding grounds of jihadists, it is a matter of grave concern that the jihadist breeding grounds have already shifted or spread within the secularist educational institutions, especially those, where affluent members of the society are sent for studies.
Bringing example of Dhaka's posh North South University, where teachers with foreign degrees are employed, while students of this expensive university hail from the affluent segment of the society, the experts say, students from such universities can easily find job opportunity or can get admission for higher studies in any of the Western nations. In this case, if a significant portion of the students of such universities are connected to Jihadist mindset groups, they can surely become potential threat to the Western nations in particular.
Counter terrorism experts are accusing Hizbut Tahrir, Hizb Ut Towhid and Tablighi Jamaat, which is known as 3T, as the main culprit behind creating jihadists in various parts of the world.
Commenting on the activities of these nefarious 3T jihadist conglomerates, editor of Weekly Blitz and anti-Jihadist journalist Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury said, Hizbut Tahrir, Hizb Ut Towhid and Tablighi Jamaat have many points in common.
They spread hate speech against Israel and the West and label them as 'evil forces', while these groups promote anti Judeo-Christianity doctrine, which actually goes in favor of mega-terrorist and Jihadist groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah and Al Qaeda. While criticizing Israel and even denouncing its existence, these 3T jihadist conglomerates actually give encouragement to the people in admiring dangerous actions of jihadist and mega-terrorist groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah and Al Qaeda.
All of these groups strongly support terrorist and jihadist activities of various Islamist groups within Jammu and Kashmir in India. In the name of extending support to Muslim Ummah, these 3T jihadist conglomerates actually promote hatred against India as well as all other secularist nations in the world.
Seeking anonymity an Islamic scholar in Bangladesh told Weekly Blitz said, Tablighi Jamaat are seen by general people as a group of peaceful Islamic version of 'Sanyas', while for many years, mega-jihadist people have already penetrated and giving extremist jihadist indoctrination to the people, thus giving provocation of waging Jihad against the "enemies of Islam".
Terming Tablighi Jamaat as one of the epicenters of jihadist breeding, the Islamic scholar recommended immediate monitoring of the activities and agendas of these groups.
He said, although Tablighi Jamaat are still at low-profile in comparing to the activities of Hizbut Tahrir, Hizb Ut Towhid or other Jihadists groups, it has even deeper impact with wider network thus creating silent majority of Jihadists mindsets in different parts of the world.
Bringing the recent example of Bangladeshi youth Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, the Islamic scholar said, while his next-door neighbors in United States were admiring him as a simple boy, the poison of jihadist mindset in him had already prompted this young man in attempting to commit a very dangerous crime. If only jihadist indoctrination can transform such young man into a dangerous one-man-army of mass destruction, the degree of threat of thousands of 'Nafis' within the societies, who might have been brainwashed by the Tablighi Jamaat or Islamist clergies should be taken into serious consideration.
The Islamic scholar reminded, Tablighi Jamaat activities are not confined within the Muslim nations, but it has already spread wing within the non-Muslim and secularist nations in the world.
The typical blinding by religion in full display.
