After reports suggested that all
terrorists involved in the recent attack at Dhaka restaurant, in which
20 people were killed, were highly educated and belonged to rich
families, Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen rubbished the arguments
that poverty makes somebody a terrorist.
In a series of tweets, Taslima quoted Saleem Samad that Bangladesh has been a major contributor to global terror and said it's time people should stop saying Islam is a religion of peace.
'Bangladesh has been a major
contributor to global terror. Bangladeshi men have joined terror outfits
in 36 countries.' -- Saleem Samad
All
Dhaka terrorists were from rich families, studied in elite schools. Please
do not say poverty & illiteracy make people Islamic terrorists — taslima nasreen (@taslimanasreen) July 3, 2016
You
don't need poverty,illiteracy, frustration,America's foreign
policy,Israel's conspiracy to become an Islamic terrorist. You need
Islam. — taslima nasreen (@taslimanasreen) July 3, 2016
Taslima
holds strong feminist and human rights views and has not been able to
return to Bangladesh, her native country that she left in 1994. The
author has received death threats from extremist groups linked to
al-Qaeda. (Yahoo news)
