Positive sign
The so-called Islamic militancy is an "unlawful war" of some misguided people against the civilized society. The members of the militant groups claim themselves to be Muslims and are waging war in the name Islam. If we look at their latest front of war, they are killing fellow Muslims inside the very prayer houses i.e. mosques. For example, we are watching what is happening in Pakistan-- the so-called Islamists are killing their brothers and sisters in the mosques on special prayers day, the Friday. So, it is very easy to understand that the so-called Islamists are not real Muslims but they are using Islam and destroying its image.
In Bangladesh, the general public are aware of this and they oppose it. The recent clashes between the militants and the people in different places clearly indicate the fact. Even the villagers are passing information about the militants to the law enforcing agencies to capture them. This is a very good sign of our peoples' mindset about the militants.
The people have full support for the drive against militancy. What our government should do is create public awareness against them and continue the drive as hard as possible to eliminate them fully from the soil of Bangladesh.
