Cover Story

The State of Religion

On the 30th of last month Bangladesh hanged six militants belonging to Jamaat-ul-Mujahidin Bangladesh (JMB) who had masterminded numerous bomb blasts and suicide attacks to establish an Islamic rule in the country. Since its inception on January 11 this year, the interim government has carried out numerous raids to arrest suspected Islamic militants. But history suggests that arrests and punishment alone are not adequate to route out the terror that has threatened to destroy everything that Bangladesh stands for.
