JMB menace
The speed with which JMB is spreading its evil roots in our country is really disquieting. Bangladesh being a poor country is more vulnerable to the proliferation of these obscurantists who recruit the poor religious minded people to serve their interests. Though Islam strictly prohibits terrorism or militancy and disseminates the message of peace, these poor people are given wrong interpretation of 'Jihad' with well-manoeuvred skills of oratory. They are paid regularly and trained well for different units e.g. bomb-making or suicide squads to establish their version of the state and that by killing people!
The government and people, especially overall Muslim community, must come forward to annihilate these perpetrators. It is heartening that a special committee to tackle militancy has been formed. But sincere efforts for creating mass awareness are needed.
So, I recommend that the government launch a campaign against such acts. With this end in view, the whole madrasa education (esp. Qawmi) has to be reformed and brought under constant vigilance. Religious leaders can play a pro-active role in this campaign. But above all, financial sources of these terrorist groups are to be identified and for this an Expatriate Group monitoring the financial profile of the terrorists has to be formed.
