The Jamaat-e-Islami's method of establishing Islam is wrong, as it is contradictory to our Prophet’s (Pbuh) teachings. The Jamaat men are not clear about their vision and mission. They want to establish an Islamic state but they are not Islamic when it comes to establishing it. Every Islamic teaching has its own method. For establishing Islam it has only one method and that is our Prophet’s (Pbuh) method. Briefly, this method is non-violent and it doesn't accept anything non-religious. As Jamaat has no well defined principles, it changes its policy with the changing situa-tiqn.

The latest serial bombing in Gazipur has certainly put a new dimension to the already critical condition in Bangladesh. Recently, Bangladesh has seen these kinds of terrorism. These incidents pop up a question in mind.

The concept of JMB is not unknown to us. The existence of these people in Bangladesh was an open secret. Now the

question is, as they were gaining strength and developing a network of united people, how come our law enforcers were unaware of that? The Police/ CID in Bangladesh are not up to the standards that we need in a modern state. It is really shocking and surprising to see that some people are convincing those kids in madrassahs to do something as crazy and scary as suicide bombing? Give a break, what are they possibly telling them to pursue them into such a horrible thing?

The recent incidents are a wake up call for us all. We need to get united and do everything to protest and stop such acts. We cannot rely on the police.

We need our Islamic scholars to come up and express their views on such acts. We need to broadcast their views and thoughts. Come on, we need to make the zealots understand that doing such things cannot give them a ticket to heaven after death, but stopping people from doing that might.
