I thought this kind of extremism was just limited to Arabs / Pakistanis.. but then again religious extremism can corrupt anyone.

The justice system needs proof to put someone away for a long time. He is definately a danger to the society because of his ideology and his eagerness to use him as a suicide bomber if need be. Sure this was an entrapment but it was necessary as there are cases in the past of terrorist going under the radar. Also it cost tax payers money to keep an eye on individual like this 24/7....

I guess this is legal and well supported in USA to trap someone for intended terrorist activity as long as they are Muslim jihadi suspects. So, FBI doing great job here to keep the homeland safe.

Why all these extremist idiots always fall for the hate preaching morons? Why can't they listen to the more moderate "scholar''? Even though I am not religious but the world would be a far better place if muslims were actually following the likes of Hamza yusuf or Nouman Ali khan (I have met both these ppl) instead of ridiculous clerics like Anwar Awlaki who was also brainwashed towards the end of his life.

Perfectly pointed out.....looks to flawed procedure to me.

If you go by this way, you can lure almost every (99%) human being into some kind of crime...I don't think that should be way, law enforcement works...you can use baits to catch established criminals, but not to lure a first timer into it...

That's actually bullshit.... need to change. But I guess it's more likely that ppl who have already been brainwashed and are committed about doing terrorist activities are the ones they are "aiding".

A much more common occurrence of this is...undercover female officers walking around in red light districts and bars...egging guys on, going back to hotel rooms and busting the perps once money has exchanged hands.

This has damaged our image and that's really bothering me. I know how hard some Bangladeshi families over here work, how much they struggle just to survive. Over the years they have built a reputation of hardworking, peace loving community. This is indeed a huge blow for us. We all have to face the consequences for this man's stupidity..

Yeah agree. But NY is home to more than 50k (my assupmtion is 70k) Bengalis. From colleges like BMCC, La Guardia, and other CUNYs, to Jackson Heigths to Jamaica, Astoria, Parkchester, Ozone Park, Brooklyn, everywhere there is a huge presence of us. Heck, I even think Jackson Heights is home to every single 'shomiti' from every single district and subset too e.g. Dokkhin Comilla, Uttor Komilla etc..

Now, its up to rest of us to continue the good work and contribute to the welfare of the city and society we live in. We all have to act in good will and speak out against this horrible act and at the same time makes sure this never happens again. One thing to note is that this kid is not a New Yorker rather had his brainwash in Dhaka. Can't blame the NY Bengali community for that.

Suspect's father says New York bomb plot charge 'false'

Quazi Nafis' father believes his son is innocent
Continue reading the main story Related Stories
The father of a Bangladeshi man accused of plotting an attack at the New York Federal Reserve has told the BBC the allegations are "totally false".

Speaking from his home in Bangladesh, Quazi Mohammad Ahsanullah said his son was "totally innocent".

Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, 21, was arrested after he allegedly attempted to detonate what he thought was a 1,000lb (454kg) bomb.

There was no public threat, officials said, as he had been closely watched.
Mr Nafis arrived in the US on a student visa in January, purporting to be studying in Missouri, authorities said.

'Victimised'

He was charged on Wednesday with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and plotting to provide material support to al-Qaeda.

I am now requesting the Bangladeshi government to bring my innocent son back to the countryā€¯
Speaking to the BBC's Anbarasan Ethirajan in Bangladeshi capital Dhaka, the suspect's father said he had been told about his son's arrest earlier on Thursday.

"He is completely innocent. He went to the United States only to study. Not to do any kind of activity. He is my only son," Mr Ahsanullah said, adding that Mr Nafis was very shy.

Breaking down repeatedly as he spoke to our correspondent, Mr Ahsanullah said his son had spoken to his mother almost every day over Skype.

"I am 100% sure that he had no contact with anybody. He has been victimised.

"I haven't had any contact with my son since yesterday. I am trying to contact. I don't know how to do it. I am now requesting the Bangladeshi government to bring my innocent son back to the country."

^Well you wouldn't expect him to say anything different. I feel for him, you can;t blame the parents for this...this really isn't about bad parenting or not being watchful.

But his appeal to the government is completely misplaced and useless. I don't prescribe to the theory that the american justice system is near on perfect(the innocence project and the scary number of innocents wrongly executed are proof enough) not to mention the way the authorities have gone about things since 9/11, but his son IS NOT INNOCENT.

He might be a simpleton, he might be easily manipulated and he is obvious a massive douchebag, but he isn't innocent.

Not sure what does his father mean by 'totally innocent', 'had no contact with anybody', as well as 'victimised'. To me as it seems he meant everything just short of saying all are made up, isnt it? Rather, I think his father should immidiately go to US embassy in Dhaka and talk to them whaever he knows about his son and his company. Keeping in touch with US embassy would rather be helful for his son I guess.

oi je bollam naa....that's a grief stricken father, who is in denial. Completely natural. It'll slowly dawn on him, we're all worried about the big picture, and perceptions, think about that family

Sister is a doctor, father with a successful career...you send your son to study in America, and he is now known around the world as a terrorist.

Actually I wrote that post before I saw yours , and yes I agree with you and understand your point. It must be unbearable for the parents.

Not surprised. As I've mentioned on a different thread, I prescribe to the daal-bhaat theory - we do have extremists amongst Bangladeshis, but give them their afternoon rice and they'll go to sleep and not bother. Burning US flags, flooding the streets with banners in support of Osama on Friday afternoons are all pre-rice eating activities. Most of these extremists are all hype and no action, especially when rice hits tummy and eye lids shut.

But of course, as the converse of the law of averages would suggest, out of all the lazy nap-loving extremists, there will always be one or two who will break the shackles of the bhaat-effect and actually make an attempt to act.

Anyways, send this idiotic douche to Guantanamo and let the other inmates take care of him. What a sore loser.

Don't take this "victim" thing seriously. Haven't yet met family member of one criminal who didn't think their child was victimized and was innocent. The idiot should pay for what he did/ was doing.. and LOL at asking BD government to bring him back. He is IN the US and caught as a potential bomber.. BD government can't do jackshit even if they wanted to (which I dont think they will be foolish enough to even try)
