Bangladesh declares Jamaat-i-Islami illegal

Re: Bangladesh declares Jamaat-i-Islami illegal

That’s not the legal reason cited. The article states the reason as being that as a political party with a religious focus, Jamaat-i-Islam has no place in a consitutionally secular country.

Which is the height of foolishness. If Islamists are prevented from working to change the country by participation in free democracy, what option does that leave them with in order to try to change the country? There is only one, and that is a dark path which needs only one word to explain: Algeria.
