Trying to pacify extremists is equivalent to encouraging them.

In the past, all Govt.s tried to pacify these zealots because they did not have the moral courage. Also they did not want to be painted as "anti-islamic" for the fear of losing popular vote.

Our middle-class is no good - they want all the benefits but would not dare ruffle any feathers. Examples of that are evident. If we had a strong leader who could face this head-on, our country would benefit tremendously.

I kind of expected a braver stance from army-backed CTG. I am not suggesting that they create a confrontation. But they should have dealt with this with a little more back-bone, sort of like the DU incident where they identified and prosecuted the genuinely responsible people.

About prothom alo, I am not surprised. I echo what r/swing said.
