Bangladesh used to be a moderate country, and always had moderates within its border who wanted peaceful co-existance with non-Islamic nations. After all, a non-Islamic country helped them secure their independence from the ruthless Pakistani regime. However, the moderates have now been suppressed and wild raging Islamist maniacs control the country.
A lot of Hindus(among non-Muslims in Bangladesh) have been killed off. Fundamentalist Islamist indoctrination is the official State policy.
Not all Muslims are bad and Islam isn’t inherently a “worse” religion than others(I think all religions have good and bad side... some gray side too) — just the people practicing Islam are pretty retarded and want to revert the society to dark ages.
Ask any moderate(i.e. non-fundamentalist) Muslim — they do exist — and he/she does not like the fundamentalist ones bit. They know why Muslim countries are backward and they will tell that not due to Israel/America/India/Russia, but due to uneducated people who follow the religious authorities blindly and generation of indoctrination that is supplanted on their minds. It is all about a sense of identity propagated from childhood through mind control.
By the way, if relatively poor country like India can fence its long border, why can’t America? The limited resource rationale never made sense to me. It could take billions due to higher cost, but hey America can always hire illegal laborers to build it. So, higher-cost also doesn’t make sense. They could simply cut spending on other things and put that on the border... or better yet just increase the tax. Democrats would be happy about higher taxes and Republicans would be happy about the fence.
It is the political will that is lacking... typical of politicians both Republicans and Democrats.
I agree. The motivation for this must be the rise of Muslim extremism in Bangladesh. Also, as India has been slowly reforming its economy, growth has accelerated, where Bangladesh seems mired in state control and corruption, and so is stagnating.
You're half right.
Just look at Islam's bloody borders. Apparently, no one can get along with them. Either it's Islam, or it's everybody else.
OK, now you're just talking plain crazy, FRiend!
