Salaam Brother

I would refrain from making broad generalisations.

The local media is full of this news by now - mostly anti government articles. There were some protests as well from what I understand - not sure if led by Ulama. Also - have you been to the local mosques to listen to the Friday khutbahs? How are you so sure that they are not talking about this issue?

The fact is that religious figures hold little sway over what the government policies are. So even if they did do all of the above, it wouldn't count for much.

What we need is the UN and other similar bodies mounting pressure on the Bangladeshi government. Religious sentiments count little for the secularists. However, when they are “looking bad” in the international arena, that’s when they might be moved to do something about it.

And again – I wouldn’t cheerlead Saudi too much. They are after all providing military bases for the US army who continue their occupation of Iraq. They are one of greatest wellwishers of the USA.

We are all sinners May Allah forgive us.
