There are many writing in your daily about the recent bombings in London. Essentially, these writers are justifying the bombings on the plea of US led invasion of Iraq and the Palestinian issue. I am surprised why Bangladeshi authors are so concerned about the fate of the Arabs. Did they (Arabs) show any concern for our liberation war in 1971? Did the Arabs protest Pakistani atrocities in 1971? Do these writers remember when the Saudi government officially recognised Bangladesh. I have visited Arab countries and have observed that they are racists and would rather mix up with the Europeans than us, their so-called Muslim brothers!

So we don't have any cause to show concern for them. There is no such thing as an Islamic issue. These are all political issues that have to be solved politically.
