“Deserves death, gets 90 years,” published on July 16, 2013

Who is The Daily Star to condemn somebody to death? Ghulam Azam is probably the most notorious war criminal still alive in Bangladesh. However, he was brought to justice and the judges have spoken. We should respect the verdict. Using your newspaper to demand the death of a person is not very civilised.
Ahmed Zakaria
The Shahbag movement was a spontaneous event of the general youths. However, there is a difference between the general population and a leading daily newspaper. They can condemn someone to death but that should appear in an op-ed column.

The entire nation, except BNP-Jamaat-Hefajat, is totally frustrated with this verdict as they expected the highest punishment for him. The state must appeal to the Supreme Court against this verdict. We have observed the government leaders and ministers express satisfaction on this verdict. These expressions provoke the idea in the general people that there was a compromise behind the screen.

Do you know the views of Hefajat regarding Jamaat? Personally, I don't like Hefajat's view; but giving incorrect info is not right.

Well done, Bangladesh! These so-called religious, non-progressive, un-Islamic parties should be banned and put in jail until they start to understand real Islam which is a religion of peace, not destruction.

Jamaat's rejection of the verdict was not unexpected because they rejected the very existence of Bangladesh.

For humanity's sake don't blame Islam for this. Nowhere in Islam is there a permission to kill a person, be it Hindu or Muslim.
S.M. Iftekhar Ahmed
Most of these Jamaat-Shibir men have been brainwashed into believing that their so-called righteous leaders could do no wrong and what the people think doesn't matter, despite it being clear that these leaders are going against the true norms of Islam.
