JMJB Leaflets - English Version
This is the translation of the leaflets found on site of the bombing.
In the name of Allah the most magnificent and the most kind
On behalf of the Jamatul Mujahideen Bangladesh
A CALL FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF ISLAMIC LAWS
All praises be to A…

If I intended to mislead people about this bombing, I would spend 20 minutes & use my PC and Bangla font software to create such leaflets. Then, I would disperse these all across the nation, along with coordinated simultaneous bombings at 300 different places. This has RAW’s fingerprint all over it.

Having such reactions as “Oh my God, it IS them. Just look at the leaflets!” is not the brightest thing to do.

It isn’t the brightest thing either to deny evidence even when it hits you in the face time and time again because its ideologically inconvenient.

I fully agree with that. There are already enough organizations that are pumping the ideology that if the Awamis are not in power, the country and its civil rights records go to hell. Manipulating facts for ideological convenience will regularly guide people to wrong conclusion. Truth is self-evident, very much like the exemplary racial and religious harmony that we Bangladeshis enjoy, regardless of Indian propaganda to the contrary.

Obviously, Ruby Roy’s mind is made up and she refuses to believe anything to the contrary. This line of argument is so tired that it isn’t even funny any more to see people use this. I will let this one go. However, she will earn a lot more respect if she does the due diligence and look for documentation and does a bit of research. Of course this may point to valid conclusion on other party’s involvement. But before making an accusation, one needs to point to some facts not wild assumptions based on conspiracy theory.
Yesterday a journalist in Prothom Alo did a story based on his two week long investigation in North Bengal on the rise of extremism. He started this even before the blast. The conclusion is pretty scary. Oh wait a second, he must be a Awami Leaguer. Oh wait a second, the name of the journalist says Tipu Sultan. Can it be the same Tipu Sultan that Awami League MP Jainal Hajari beat up and left for dead and is also blamed for their defeat in the election. is it him? Alas….it his him. He can’t surely be an Awami Leaguer. He must be paid by Raw then. Oh, I can’t think any more. Arghhhh… are there independent journalism after all? This does not fit what I was thinking? What should I do? I will just close my eyes and pretend that it was India. Stop telling me anything contrary!

Oh, one more point, your argument about whenever AL is not in power, our law and order situation goes bonkers. I am assuming you are implying the bombing incidents. However, they started very much when Awami League in power. The Ramna bombing in Pohela Boishakh and the Udichi bombing happened during AL. Check this for reference

To Ruby Ghosh,
‘Truth is self-evident’ - infact is not. You are cancelling one truth as JMJB is behind the blasts and imposing another ‘RAW’s fingerprint all over it’. It is easy to spell out anything but without backing of any concrete evidence. Infact our politicians do it all the times. We Bengalis do exaggerate all the time.
The truth is our internal security failed. We need to bring that back whatever it takes. Whether it requires Khaleda, Hasina, Ershad and Nizami in the same table, I don’t care. We need to unite and say no to these lunatics.
In the meantime please stop blaming others. You should read this.

[...] Voices provides details, gives an insight into the the group blamed through quotes and the leaflets found at the blast sites, and links to an article by Zafar on how Bangladesh can [...]

“Whether it requires Khaleda, Hasina, Ershad and Nizami in the same table”
Beat it. Beat the unity crap. The bomb was on Sheikh Hasina not on Kheleda Zia, the bomb killed SAMS Kibria not Saifur Rahman the bombs were placed in Ramna Batmul not in any Tabliq Jamaat, the bombs targeted debating clubs not Fulkurir asors.
Unity for what, with whom, why????? what will get done in practical sense? Should we beg for our lives on the table? Is it all about “it”?
Listen they bombed us we know how it feels. After finishing with us they will go after the unity-walas. But the unity-walas are so stupid to care they are the next. So please beat it we have seen it all in-and-out of unity.
I’m so sick of this unity lectures by our seudo intellects. It is the job of the government to take action it is not the job of AL/BNP/Jamaat/JP. If the government can not take the action and need to “shit on the table” then let them call for a national government then everyone can sit and talk and act. Otherwise beat it let them handle it or let them resign if they cannt handle it. It is very simple. Yes, it is that simple indeed. Oh perhaps not that simple to the pseudo intellects and unity-walas.

Imtiaz, thank you for dropping the “Human Rights” mask & clearly pointing out who’s “we” and who are “they”. Rest my case.

Ruby,
there are people in this world who are coward enough to call a spade, a spade. When their mothers will be raped front of them they will say I’m neutral on this case I’ve no relation to her.
I’m so glad that you didn’t find me as one of “them”. However, I’m expressing only myself, not on behalf of anyone else.
Keep up the good work, you may unmask many more people, like you just unmasked yourself.
