Attacks on Buddhists
It all started from a tiny phone repair shop (October 4, 2012) Buddha
May all live in peace! May all live in prosperity! Mahboob Hossain
Islam is a religion of peace. Those who attacked the Buddhists are simply enemies of Islam. Forhad
The government as well as opposition parties should work together instead of blaming each other. Saleh Md. Shahriar
The police delayed in taking action. What is the reason? Mahbubur Rahman Sharif
It cannot start from a tiny phone repair shop. More reasons may have been involved. Why did the police remain silent after getting information from the shop? Sakib
The government should not blame BNP for this incident. The opposition has already expressed their deep concern over this issue and demanded exemplary punishment of the culprits. They also urged judiciary investigation into the incident. N D Saha
Thousands of years of civilisation, innumerable moral lessons of different religious scriptures, world-wide campaign for human rights and dignity, constant claims of communal harmony existing in the country by all and sundry, all these things got washed away by the mayhem claimed to be perpetrated by a few miscreants. It proves beyond doubt that the innocent peace loving people are completely helpless in this country. Nasirullah Mridha, USA
The ruling party is blaming the BNP and the extremists. BNP point their fingers to AL. Only a judicial probe could find the reasons of this violence. Ahimsa
Buddha said that everything in the world arises out of 'Dependent Originations'. Nothing came out by itself. So this incident too has multiple causes. Shatyabadi
If the police had so much information in advance, what were they doing sitting around and not making a single move to stop the incidents before they took such a nasty turn. The home minister should look for the culprits who may be sitting within the system. Manzoor Ashraf
Hooligans exist in all major parties and religions. So the blame lies with the individuals who took part in these criminal act. Police should properly investigate to identify the real culprits. Also a UN-sponsored investigation should take place to observe the investigation and to ensure such criminal acts do not take place in the future. Abdul M. Ismail
Until now, zealots in Bangladesh have kept relatively quiet. But it didn't take long for this mob mentality to kick in. Now they've tried to show the world that the Muslims are intolerant. Surely, the perpetrators who destroyed these Buddhist temples and statues were nothing more than brainless thugs. Reaz Hassan
The immediate cause of the conflagration is the derogatory anti Islamic image posted by someone on Facebook. May be the real causes lay much deeper.
