Impact of Muslim Militancy and Terrorism on Bangladesh Politics

Abstract

The Muslim militant groups have made some grounds for implementing their activities uninterruptedly in world politics. But as a major Muslim country in Bangladesh the history of the Islamic militancy, from both outer and inner source, is of about 30 years. In a recent research analysis, it is seen that there are about 135 Islamic religious groups found in Bangladesh those who have a direct or indirect connection with the militant devastation is investigated within the activities of other political parties. In this perspective of Bangladesh politics, to find out the proper information about these Islamic groups’ secondary data sources has been used along with analyzing various concepts. In the political arena of Bangladesh, the “alliance politics” is introduced only to achieve and sustain the empowerment to rule the country as well as for their interest during the election. According to the practical analysis, these Islamic groups were included with the major political parties only to use them during the election. By this time, much more public and secret Islamic militant organizations have chosen the way of militancy for the sake of building up Bangladesh as an Islamic Shariah-based country. These Islamic militant organizations may have connections with the other militant groups with the outer world. But it is a matter of hope that in Bangladesh, now the rate of militancy and destructions have been reduced a lot by directly taken steps of the government.
