The Government which was ''democratically'' elected by Muslims into office

If the Ulema came out and condemned the Bangla govt stance this shows that they do not have much sway within Bangladesh because if they did and the Government would not dare to go ahead with the Rohingya repatriation policy or even refusing aid from the UN.

This is what some of us are tired of. We have too many Ulemas/Maulanas who are on TV 24/7 giving out edits but in reality they do not have much sway withing the society.

At times like this we need REAL Muslim leaders and not youtube fatwa leaders who are silent when real issues struck

We cant just sit around and make dua only. Even the battle of Badr wasnt won by just sitting and making duas. Muslims had to do something.

I have few hours before I break my fast but how can I feed myself with all sorts of food and then go to Tarawih while my fellow brother in Iman is struggling to stay in the high seas and animal infested jungles of Burma and Bangladesh simply because he has been refused safety by a fellow Muslim

In sha Allah will make dua for them but this Rohingya really shames us all.

Martin Luther King (the civil rights leader) once said : ''In the end we will remember NOT the deeds and abuse from our enemies, but the silence from our OWN people''
Brother - I think you need to have a better understanding of the geo-political situation in the region before making such comments. It's not like the Bangladeshis love Sh. Hasina or Khaleda. It's always been a case of choosing the lesser evil. You make it sound like we love these ladies and want them to be our leaders.

Protests are part of everyday life and they don't mean anything anymore. Just ask any Bangladeshi about the no. of hartals they had to endure over the past decade.

You also need to understand the reason why Ulama don't have sway over the government. This is due to the incidents of 1971 which has created this perception that religious leaders are anti-liberation and backstabbers (AKA rajakars).

So I go back to my previous comment - pressure must be mounted by the various international organisations such as the UN and other NGOs. That's the only way that the govt. will budge. Protests by the locals + ulama don't count for much in Bangladesh.
