Let's call a spade a spade.
The execution of a young Bangladeshi couple in Saudi Arabia is a travesty of justice and lays bare the grotesque cancer that lies at the heart of that benighted country.
What a tragedy it is for the Muslim world that our Holy places have fallen into the hands of such a backward and barbarous tribe and that they can and do use their vast wealth to spread misery and malice the length and breadth of this planet.
What a bitter irony that the most unjust, hypocritical, uncivilized, and malignant country on Earth is the one that has the most influence over the rest of the Muslim world.

An absolute banger from Dr. Jens Stanislawski in COUNTERPOINT
I am in general in favor of nuclear power, but this piece takes no prisoners and raises excellent points about its suitability for Bangladesh.
If you read just one piece today, make it this.

My cohost @ZafarSobhan and I were fortunate to have an opportunity to sit with Khaled Saifullah to get an @NCP_bd25 perspective on recent political developments in Bangladesh, including the July Charter and preparations for the February elections.
As usual, Khaled provided a refreshingly frank explanation of NCP's approach to the Charter, in particular its implementation, and to the party's electoral strategy. With all that is happening in his world, we appreciated Khaled sharing so much time with us.
Thanks again to @CounterpointBD and @Brainbd1 for producing the J-Z show and to all those who take the time to listen to our conversations about the hottest issues making news in Bangladesh.
We welcome feedback, including suggestions for future guests.

It was a pleasure to have my friend Dr. Nakibur Rahman as a guest on the latest episode of the J-Z podcast. Thanks as always to my cohost @ZafarSobhan and to our sponsors, @Brainbd1 and @CounterpointBD. Please let us know in the comments who you would like to see as future guests.

Bangladesh’s Rohingya policy is not a temporary crisis response. It’s a system of exclusion that rewards the state politically & economically.
My essay for @CounterpointBD breaks down how this works.
