Root cause of militancy
Solaiman Palash, East Jurain, Dhaka
The enemy is getting more and more barbaric. They blasted deadly bombs in all corners of the country. They are very successful in spreading fear among the people. But they forget that no extremism has ever succeeded; the most remarkable example is the Naxal movement in India. The Naxalites created terror in West Bengal but didn't achieve much. It's the high time to go after the root cause of Islamic militancy. Who are the masterminds behind the murderous attacks, who patronise them, who provide them money & who influence them? The simple answer is: elements who use religion as the ladder to climb the throne. Every year they issue sermons to the people in Waz Mahfils to overthrow the democratic government. They pursue the guardians to send their children to madrassah. Now the ball is in the government's court. They must launch a drive to wipe out militancy. And this will be possible only if they break their alliance with the fundamentalists in the coalition government.
