I'm extremely sad to see that we're witnessing this in a Bengali dominated country .Bengalis are extremely tolerant people,I've seen in people from all across India,Neither North East,nor in North or South,You'll find such tolerance,especially on religion.But it is also sad to admit that radicalization is happening in both bengal,and today we're witnessing results of it.
Today's terrorists are not some illiterate brain dead,but as Indian arrest of IS has exposed,they're people who are residing among us,who posts regularly in FB and social forums on these topics.Only few days ago,I argued how Bangladesh is fighting these extremist groups while other BD members were shielding that saying its India who is playing dirty,that group is innocent.And I'm also pretty sure that some conspiracy theory will come in this matter as well,how RAW did this and that.But radicalization,which is very much evident in this very forum as well,is extremely clear.
But that was not the case till a decade ago,Bengalis always put their culture in front of these mindless religious madness.we've witnessed this time and again,how harmony in bengali community always broke the barrier of religion.I myself also experienced this warmth countless times.But sadly,that is fading due to these religious madness and it is mainly fueled for political gain.
@Imran Khan here was criticizing Hasina for heavy handedness on Islamists for this madness.But when serial Bombing in Bangladesh happened in 2005,it was not due to heavy handedness,rather due to tolerating this madness for far too long.Over 500 bombs were exploded by same JMB on some 300 places across the country.A government who does nothing or negotiate(Like Pakistan tried and failed) against this madness,they don't have any moral rights to stay in power.If you stir the Hornest's nest,you'll have to face their sting.But it is necessary hazard you always have to take.If you becomes pussy and do nothing,the problem will not only persists,but rather it'll grow over time.
