Bangladeshi in US terror plot

The news of a Bangladeshi 21 year-old hauled up, allegedly for planning to blow up the US Federal Reserve Bank cannot but cause grave concern to us. This is the first such instance of a Bangladeshi being implicated in a plot to carry out terrorist acts in a foreign country.
In this regard there are two issues that occupy our minds.
Firstly, without passing a value judgment on the guilt or innocence of the accused, we are at great pains to correlate the alleged act of Nafis and the description of his deportment and disposition as a human being. It is difficult to see him being predisposed to violence from how his acquaintances and friends have described him. He believed that a true Muslim could never consider violence as an option. At the same time he had expressed his admiration for Osama bin Laden who he believed was not involved with 9/11. We are also aware of his strong religious views from his Facebook page.
And that brings us to the matter of 'entrapment' and his falling into the trap laid by the FBI. Again, without splitting hairs on the definition of 'entrapment,' one wonders whether one ought not draw a fine line between the act of a motivated person indulging in a deliberate work of terrorism and one in which a person is encouraged by FBI sting operation to do what Nafis did. But be that as it may, the state cannot abandon Nafis, and the government must ensure that he gets a fair trial and face the consequences of its outcome, whatever that might be. Under no circumstances should his parents face harassment of any sort.
The second important point that we must focus on is that given our zero tolerance for extremism and terrorism it was time we acknowledged the presence in our midst of people with mindset that might have motivated Nafis to work in the manner he allegedly did and evolve means to address that. By the same token, the US must also acknowledge that its activities globally have fomented extremism and odium towards it, even among the moderate segments of Muslim youths in many parts of the world including Bangladesh, and work to address that. This should not be construed as condonation of terrorism. Far from it, we condemn terrorism most strongly, whoever be the perpetrators.
