I am really surprised why the government is not being able to catch the now infamous "Bangla Bhai". The government is aware of his illegal activities but is yet to bring this terrorist to book. Yes, Bangla Bhai should be labelled as a "terrorist" because the activities he is conducting simply reflects the activities of one. He and his group of supporters must be captured for the betterment of the people.

We do not want this kind of brutal people roaming freely in the country. Nowhere in Islam it is said that one has the right to kill a man and hang him from a tree, even of the person is your enemy. If they think that they are following Islam and Quran and Hadith, then they are simply wrong. Only because of these thugs, the westerners think that Islam encourages terrorism and brutality. But this is not what our religion tells us. I strongly hope that the government will do everything possible in its capacity to catch Bangla Bhai. We want to see him behind bars.
