Don't read too much into the fact that Akayed Ullah, the suspect in Monday's New York terrorist attack, is a Bangladeshi immigrant to the United States.
While Bangladesh is a predominantly Muslim nation, it is no hotbed of terrorism and shouldn't be added to Trump's travel ban list.
Of course, some aligned with the alt-right are jumping on Ullah's citizenship as further evidence of America's looming infection by Muslim extremism. Take John Cardillo...
John Cardillo @johncardillo Thank God Bangladeshi pipe bombs are the same shitty quality as everything else made in Bangladesh. 3:27 PM - Dec 11, 2017
John Cardillo @johncardillo Suspect in custody. Between the beard and him being from predominantly Muslim Bangladesh, I think we now know the motive.
Americans should have two problems with those tweets.
First, while more than 100,000 Bangladeshis live in the United States, very few of them have any nexus to terrorism. Instead, they came to America to work hard and provide better lives for their families. Indeed, especially relevant to today's news, the New York Police Department boasts a good number of Bangladeshi-American police officers. That's no coincidence; as former NYPD officer John Cardillo should know, the Bangladeshi-American community makes a point of encouraging law enforcement careers.
Second, while Bangladesh does struggle with occasional outbursts of violent Islamic extremism, its government and military take aggressive action of a far more coordinated and humanitarian nature than that of, say, Pakistan. The Bangladeshi armed forces also operate as an increasingly capable American ally. Moreover, while Bangladesh struggles with corruption, its political culture is more liberal than that of many other Muslim nations: next month, Bangladesh will have been led by a female Prime Minister for nearly nine years.
Consider, also, that this relative stability defines a deeply impoverished nation of 165 million people. The ingredients of terrorist recruitment would seem to thrive in Bangladesh and yet, for whatever reason, they do not thrive.
So yes, the New York attacker might be a complete loser. But don't blame his national origins on his negative acts; the Bangladeshi people deserve American respect and the right to be able to visit our country if they so desire.
Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh
Though it may seem so far
From where we all are
It’s something we can’t reject
That suffering I can’t neglect
Now won’t you give some bread
Get the starving fed
We got to relieve Bangla Desh
Moslems are not civilized enough to be allowed in. We must reverse all immigration. Soon. Before we’re screwed lke Europe.
One of the most dirt bag countries on earth - spawn of the Rohingyas , they slaughter bloggers and throw acid in the faces of women there . This pleasant Bangladeshi practice is now taking root in the U.K. We should not be admitting a single one , let alone letting any ‘chain migrate ‘ America does not need them . Not one .
No one, repeat NO ONE, has the right to visit the United States. As a sovereign state, the USA has the absolute right to completely close its borders to all visitors and immigrants if it so desires, and allow only US citizens in. Furthermore, no people deserve my respect. It must be earned individually.
PA muslim bomber is so unlike all the other muslim bombers, we should not draw general conclusions about their benevolence.
The late Mr ‘arrison has no idea.
And that’s the thanks we get!
The “right” to visit our country?
They have no “right” to visit our country.
This dope missed the boat. Nobody is blaming his nationality, they’re blaming the religion.
Dhimmis don’t get thanks from islam. We’re either slaves or beheaded.
We have enough livery drivers and airport bus drivers!
Meanwhile, everyone playing at the concert is going, "Where the $@#@ is Bangladesh?"
For 2016, Transparency International lists Bangladesh as having a Corruption Perceptions Index Rank of 145 out of 176 Countries, with a Corruption Score of 26 out of 100. The place is a teeming hive of poverty and corruption with little to offer in terms of skilled migrants who can add to the US.
“Moslems are not civilized enough to be allowed in. We must reverse all immigration. Soon. Before we’re screwed like Europe.”
This kind of accurate prediction will earn you NADA. Few people will give you any attention. Always been good in the good Ol’ USA, always will be —— is the very wrong thinking..
I can't decide if I hate moslems or moslem apologists more.
Oh, just like we should condemn Dylann Roof for shooting up the Black church in Charlestown, but not Southerners in general? BTW, now that this POS is on death row, where’s all the holier-than-thou hand wringing and pontificating over the immorality of the capitol punishment? I thought THIS ISN’T WHO WE ARE. Why haven’t the Mumia abu Jamal loving celebrity a**holes formed a dirty little coalition calling for justice for Dylann? You gotta hand it to the left, they think they’re slick when it comes to picking and choosing their battles.
