Comparisons have been made between the July 1 terror strike on the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka and the November 26, 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai. Differences rather than similaritiesMuch has been written about the two terror attacks in Bangladesh. The terror attacks in Bangladesh are proof of the Islamic State’s inroads in the neighbourhood. For a country like India, with a large pool of educated Muslim youth, the threat is thus real. The truth is that the IS today has the largest appeal for, and is perhaps the fastest-growing militant force among Muslim youth.
