Dhaka can no longer take a homeopathic approach to fight the Islamist terror virus, which has already infected Bangladeshi society. Otherwise, if Bangladesh falls under the global radical Islamist yoke, the country as a whole will suffer. The terrorists may well be local but they are inspired by a global radical Islamist agenda.
