Counter suicide bombing
Suicide bombing has been a new phenomenon in Bangladesh. After the assassination of Bangabandhu, successive governments created opportunities for the Jamaat by authorising them to get entry into politics. Islam has come to our land not by bombing. Our spiritual leaders have preached Islam in this subcontinent not by killing people. All of us, irrespective of political faith, have to be united to face the onslaught of the bombers. Following are some suggestions.
1. The Jamaat, supporters of religious extremism and suicide bombing, should not be in the cabinet.
2. Arrange dialogue between political parties.

5. Form community-based committees consisting of religious leaders, political leaders and others to combat terrorist activities.
