Chalking self-interest in political web is despicable. Chalking self-interest in religious web is abhorrent.

Ours is a country that has a majority of Muslim population. Our people rich or poor alike are religious. We may have a small collection of atheists here and there, but the main stream of our educational, political, professional, private, public all cultural arena is strewn with code of Islam. We have religious scholars and religious groups. Suddenly JMB comes up with bombs to change what? Do JMB want to change the history or do they want to stop globalisation? Even if the clock were turned back would they be able to change anything? Is Islam such a weak religion that some small note of modern age will weaken it?

Do JMB know what Islam is? Bathing in the blood of misled followers and innocent citizens what prowess are they boasting of! Greedy for the limelight and black money, it's their own choice to create a hell for themselves in this life and hereafter and in the process create unnecessary chaos.

Sadly, this anti people group got a chance to flourish because Bangladesh since its birth is going through political and economical turmoil. It is our differences; our mistrust born out of our selfishness, greed, indifferences, jealousies and lack of intelligence and farsightedness that is responsible for the birth of this lawless group.
