Rein them in

Article 41 of the Constitution of Bangladesh declares 'Every citizen has the right to profess, practise and propagate any religion and that every religious community or denomination has the right to establish, maintain and manage its religious institutions'.

It is also against the tenets of Islam, which guarantees freedom of religion. In chapter 2:257 of the Holy Quran it is stated that 'There should be no compulsion in matters of religion'.

The civilised world should take note of these atrocities committed against this community in Bangladesh. The home and religious affairs ministers must find the will to prevent any such attack on the Ahmadiyya mosques in Bangladesh which might result in bloodshed.

I call on the government to act firmly and decisively against the bigots.
