Terroist Attacked in My Home Town


                        Terrorist Attacked in My Home Town

Terrorist attacked in my home town very close to my house. On 7th July 2016 it was the celebration day of Muslim people of Bangladesh called Eid ul fitr. But it was the day of panic for kishoreganj people the second biggest distract of Bangladesh. Solakia is the place where the big Eid prayer is taken every year very peach fully. More than 1 hundred thousand people gather here for Eid prayer every year. But this year is different. The terrorist organised group has planned to attack in solakia during the Eid prayer time. There are several way in to solakia. The terrorist used Azimuddin high school road where police placed a check post. Police check physically whom they are doubt. The terrorist came to kishoreganj in 27 of Ramadan, they came from other district. When the members of police checking their body, the terrorist straight way attacked police constable by knife, meat clipper and some handmade bomb. On the spot two police constables has died. The terrorist then took shelter a house named Lyley kunzoo from where they start gun fairing. Police also start fairing to stop them; one of the police officer was bravely defeat one terrorist and killed on that spot. The other terrorist was captured by police; he was also injured by bullet. Later police identified both terrorist, killed terrorist was the student of North south university one of the leading private university of Bangladesh, the other terrorist was the student of kouymi madrasa.

Their main intention was to kill the imam and the civilian who came to pray in solakia. If they success it will be big loss because it might be happened by bombing, gun fair, and people get killed by stampede. But police stop them very bravely. After the attack ISIS took responsibility, but police said they are GMB members. Because before this attack the similar incident was happened in Gulsan where 20 people were killed include 14 foreigners and 6 Bengali. Same kind of handmade bomb was used in Gulsan, also some of the attackers are the former student of north south university, and ISIS took responsibility for this attack. This kind of attacked happened first time in Bangladesh. People are now very scare. After the Gulsan attack some of the terrorist published a video in u tube, where they said they will attack again somewhere in Bangladesh and this will not stop, later they were identified. About 200 hundred young people have been missing in last few months. Police said the missing people are most of the leading private university student and they are from very wealthy family. They trained in Iraq, Syria and some parts of Pakistan the intelligent said. They came back to Bangladesh and star this attack.

This few terror attack proved that ISIS is already exist in Bangladesh. They are well organised and heavily armed. Now they are spreading everywhere in Bangladesh. But police said they don’t have any link with ISIS, they are JMB or may be some political party who use IS name.

Islam is the religious of peace, In Al-Quran there is no single word or sentence where mention to kill innocent people to establish Islamic or sharia law. So the way of they doing is completely wrong and they were brain washed by behind people, who misguide them and explane Qiran and Hadees in immoral way. The entire Islamic scholar said killing innocent people does not support Islam. The young and meritorious students are involved with this. So this is very important to find out who is behind them. This could be involved in Anti Islamic state or group or it might be the conspiracy theory or media.   

So other religion people they are now blaming entire Muslim people. Media is also a big issue who publishes unpleasant and false news. Just because of that Muslim hate crime has increased seriously in western country. So Muslim people are not safe, they are now targeted by right wing groups. Very recently it was proved that Iraq war was illegal and the intelligent report was completely wrong, former Prime Minister Tony Blair took responsibility for this war. Just because of that war Millions of people were killed including women and children, some nation were completely destroyed.

This is high time to find who provide IS? Who finance IS? And what is their goal? The terrorist who is involved with IS or other group in Bangladesh, they should read Quran properly with the meaning and where the surah was taken place which is very crucial.

In solakia police role was vital, government of Bangladesh take this incident very seriously, and the intelligent are now trying to find who is behind all the recent attacked.

Terrorist has no religion they are terrorist their ideology is wrong. Every young people parents should keep on eye of their son and daughter. To stop terror attack and joining terror group family need to aware and social blockade need to establish.

Rise of Extremism in Bangladesh


Rise of Extremism in Bangladesh



The people of Bangladesh generally think themselves they are Bengalis first and then Muslims next. But some in Muslim nation have been thinking differently. Recent the rise of fundamentalism and radical ideology is deeply impact in Bangladesh.

The extremist groups thinking in Bangladesh in what shapes? The sharia and the wahabi influences spreading from the middle east is going through to Bangladesh. The present situation is not so pretty. Religion-based nationalism is rising day by day in Bangladesh which will impact future in longer version.


Recent three murders, one is blogger known secular views, other one is Japanese agricultural worker and an Italian social worker. After those murder who claimed? ISIS was claimed. After such incident Bangladeshi officials are announced the existence of ISIS in Bangladesh.  


Bangladesh is strongly known as secular and syncretism culture which emerging ground violence and extremism. Over the past few years five prominent blogger have been murdered for posted online for their secular criticism of religious fanaticism. Other recent terrorist bomb attack in Dhaka the Ashura parade for Shia community, later on all the attacks claimed by ISIS but Bangladeshi authorities deny ISIS involvement.


In Paris November 2015 the massacre attack killed 130 innocent people. After the attack one suspected guy was hiding in Europe, finally he caught in Brussels named Sala abdeslam in March 2016. But days after other suicide bomb attack has happened in Brussels main Airport killed 35 people. ISIS took the responsibility for this barbaric attack.


I and my family visit Paris September 2015, I feel myself France is very liberal and people are very freedom compare to UK. ISIS took this advantage to kill innocent people. When the coalition attack was started in syria ISIS became defeated, the left the evidence in their occupied area, the young women were seriously victimised by ISIS, violence like rape then killed, encourage young people to join in suicide squad. Most of the ISIS member came from France, Belgium, England, and Turkey. They are radicalized then join in ISIS.


In Bangladesh there are several terrorist organization named Ansarullah bangle team which is linked with the Al-qaida elements, they encourage young Muslim to join jihad. Other Jihadi grour Hizbut Tahrir which is already banned from Bangladesh. HT member are generally educated from recognised education institute. Another extremist group named Hefazat-e-Islam which is organised and reform from Quomi Madrasa. Now ISIS has organised in Bangladesh to operate their activities throughout the country and they are success in individual attack. Probably in future they will attack in Bangladesh as similar as Europe. They are the big threat of Democracy.


The Authority of Bangladesh should take it seriously to find what is going on behind the eye. Authority should make an intelligent agent to monitor all their activities and check al Madrasa and other educational institute from where they collect Jihadist people. Security system should develop more to catch them before any terrorist attack or assassination.

Democracy vs.Terrorism In Bangladesh




Democracy vs. Terrorism in Bangladesh

In Bangladesh increasing tide of political violence that has moved out frequently.  Still it is potential threat, by fundamentalist Islamist groups which rise last one decade. Islamic terrorism is the drawback for any country to move forward. Bangladesh is likely to act terrorism to neighboring India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Bangladesh is the second look as Islamic fundamentalist in south Asia. As a third Muslim country in the world Bangladesh has continued a democratic practice since liberty even it ranked the poorest country in the world. The majority Muslims are Sunni. While the democratic practice is going well the country has threatened by an intensifying tide of fundamental Islamist groups. By increasing the radicalized violence the country is struggling to continue to do the democratic practice. By means the international communities to deny help the country to develop. As statistics says for radical Islamist groups in south Asia Bangladesh is the safe haven. The main political parties are using those fundamentalist Islamic groups to create violence. The media and the individual speech are strongly opposite of all the terrorist groups in Bangladesh. By encouraging the main political parties, media and other social network that are increasingly being targeted by terrorist organization.

Hefazat-e-Islami, a coalition of teachers and students associated with radical madrasas and with Jamaat-e-Islami, launched a counter-protest, vandalizing vehicles and clashing with police in cities throughout the country protest against the government. Some terrorist groups are not funded directly they are inspired by extremism organization. In 2005 the series bomb attack across the country killed and wounded people. One terrorist group named Jamatul Mujahideen Bangladesh which has been linked to al – Qaeda. Other group named, Ansarullah Bangla Team, took responsible to kill the atheist blogger Avijit Roy in Feb 2015. This atheist blogger was hacked to death on the street of Dhaka city.

The international community ignores the rapidly rising terrorism violence in Bangladesh which is their own risk.  The sensible, secular-oriented fundamentals of society and traditional Islamists are battling it out over conceptions of the role of faith in politics and society. The progressive voices are gone down by the threat of fundamentalist groups. The international communities are very tense about the rising of terrorism group inside the country. The international community is now comparing Bangladesh is the high risk country like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. Recently two foreigners were killed one is Japans and other one is Italian nationalist. The recent arrest of quite a few men accused of recruiting for ISIS and Al Qaeda terrorist groups.



Bangladesh is a significant form for a democratic Islamic state, which could serve as an optimistic force and a powerful model across the Islamic world. The human right violations are seriously committed by the state security force which engaged extra judicial killing, disappearances and severe torture against government opponents.In country and the international Policymakers should give a hand the Bangladeshi government in its efforts to crack down on terrorist group. The recent attack of all blogger is the big risk of the government because they those group working through smaller splinter cells and engaging in person and lone type attacks. The government should build to deal with those sophisticated attacks. The counter-terrorism and highly trained force should build to defeat and discourage them to continue this root.



The blogger voices have been quiet by attacks of the fundamental groups. The number of atheist blogger has been murdered in 2015 and more than eighty blogger are under threat of Islamist groups. Those groups are divided between the true religion practices, freedom of speech, democracy and the society. The radical voice and the brain washed terrorist groups are the big threat of Bangladeshi democracy and the democratic practice. It is high time for the government to provide security the moderate voice which is under threat, also ban all the terrorist groups. The government should take an ongoing conversation about the role of religion in the society and politics.

Political crisis after 5 january general election in Bangladesh




After 5 January 2014 elections, the most violent in Bangladesh’s history, clashes between government and opposition groups led to several deaths and scores injured. The confrontation marks a new phase of the deadlock between the ruling Awami League (AL) and the Bangladesh National Party (BNP) opposition, which have swapped time in government with metronomic consistency since independence. Having boycotted the 2014 poll, the BNP appears bent on ousting the government via street power. With daily violence at the pre-election level, the political crisis is fast approaching the point of no return and could gravely destabilise Bangladesh unless the sides move urgently to reduce tensions. Moreover, tribunals set up to adjudicate crimes perpetrated at the moment of Bangladesh’s bloody birth threaten division more than reconciliation. Both parties would be best served by changing course: the AL government by respecting the democratic right to dissent (recalling its time in opposition); the BNP by reviving its political fortunes through compromise with the ruling party, rather than violent street politics.

With the two largest mainstream parties unwilling to work toward a new political compact that respects the rights of both opposition and victor to govern within the rule of law, extremists and criminal networks could exploit the resulting political void. Violent Islamist factions are already reviving, threatening the secular, democratic order. While jihadi forces see both parties as the main hurdle to the establishment of an Islamic order, the AL and the BNP perceive each other as the main adversary.

The AL and its leader, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, emphasise that the absence from parliament of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia and her BNP make them political non-entities. Yet, concerned about a comeback, the government is attempting to forcibly neutralise the political opposition and stifle dissent, including by bringing corruption and other criminal cases against party leaders, among whom are Zia and her son and heir apparent, Tarique Rahman; heavy-handed use of police and paramilitary forces; and legislation and policies that undermine fundamental constitutional rights.

The BNP, which has not accepted any responsibility for the election-related violence in 2014 that left hundreds dead (and saw hundreds of Hindu homes and shops vandalised), is again attempting to oust the government by force, in alliance with the Jamaat-e-Islami, which is alleged to have committed some of the worst abuses during that period. The party retains its core supporters and seems to have successfully mobilised its activists on the streets. Yet, its sole demand – for a fresh election under a neutral caretaker – is too narrow to generate the public support it needs to overcome the disadvantage of being out of parliament, and its political capital is fading fast as it again resorts to violence. 

The deep animosity and mistrust between leaders and parties were not inevitable. Despite a turbulent history, they earlier cooperated to end direct or indirect military rule and strengthen democracy, most recently during the 2007-2008 tenure of the military-backed caretaker government (CTG), when the high command tried to remove both Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia from politics. Rather than building on that cooperation, the two leaders have resorted to non-democratic methods to undermine each other. In power, both have used centralised authority, a politicised judiciary and predatory law enforcement agencies against legitimate opposition.

Underpinning the current crisis is the failure to agree on basic standards for multiparty democratic functioning. While the BNP claims to be the guardian of Bangladeshi nationalism, the AL has attempted to depict itself as the sole author and custodian of Bangladesh’s liberation. The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT), established by the AL in March 2010 to prosecute individuals accused of committing atrocities during the 1971 liberation war, should be assessed in this context. While the quest to bring perpetrators to account is justifiable, the ICTs are not simply, or even primarily, a legal tool, but rather are widely perceived as a political one, primarily for use against the government’s Islamist opposition. In short, the governing AL is seen to be using the nation’s founding tragedy for self-serving political gains.

The AL needs to realise that the BNP’s marginalisation from mainstream politics could encourage anti-government activism to find more radical avenues, all the more so in light of its own increasingly authoritarian bent. Equally, the BNP would do well to abandon its alliances of convenience with violent Islamist groups and seek to revive agreement on a set of basic standards for multiparty democracy. A protracted and violent political crisis would leave Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia the ultimate losers, particularly if a major breakdown of law and order were to encourage the military to intervene; though there is as yet no sign of that, history suggests it is an eventuality not to be dismissed. The opportunities for political reconciliation are fast diminishing, as political battle lines become ever more entrenched. Both parties should restrain their violent activist base and take practical steps to reduce political tensions:

  • the AL government have to carry out to a non-repressive reply to political dispute, restraint in and ensure responsibility for abuses devoted by law enforcement entities, overturn way that restrain general liberties and aggressively defend marginal communities beside do violence to and lack of properties and businesses;
  •  AL should invite the BNP, at subordinate levels of position if needed, to talks intended at reviving the democratic system of the game, as well as electoral reorganization. It also hold mayoral elections in Dhaka, a long-overdue legal obligation to present opportunities to commence that discussion; and
  •  BNP should carry out to peaceful political resistance; refrain from an coalition with  Jamaat-e-Islami which is attractive the Islamist opposition’s street control with slight supporting come back for the BNP; and in its place show enthusiasm to take on in significant discussions with  AL to end this political crisis to destabilization financial development and hostile to undermine the political instruct.
