The statistics presented if true is very unfortunate. It's crazy that a nation formed for political representation of muslims is not inclusive of all factions of Islam....
Well Muslims are not a homogenous entity and (aside from sectarian stuff) have ethnic and national rivalries.
We Bangladeshis are generally a peaceful, tolerant nation, even viewed as a bit passive or overly-gentle.
Yes, we do have our bigots and fanatics like Al-Zakir (who unfortunately dominate the "Bangladeshi" subforum on here and abuse and swear at mainstream Bangladeshis) but they are a minority and will never get far in independent Bangladesh.
I think once these other Muslim countries have higher HDIs and wealth, as well as more inter-travelling, anti-Shia bigotry will decrease.
Also with the decline of Gulf petrol, Saudi will have less money with which to spread its hatred of Shias.
