Richard Benkin: Frases en inglés

“Bangladesh is heavily invested in advertising itself to Americans and other potential trading partners as a "moderate Muslim country."… Over the last few decades, however, they have come more and more under the thumb of radical jihadis.

Benkin, Richard L. (2012). A quiet case of ethnic cleansing: The murder of Bangladesh's Hindus. New Delhi: Akshaya Prakashan. p.300.

“Scholars, journalists, activists, and others have an almost knee-jerk tendency to praise Bangladesh's beginnings as a secular nation and trace its slide into Islamist domination from the 1975 assassination of its founding father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

One would think these Hindu victims of Islamist terror would find a safe haven in the largest Hindu nation on earth, but they have not.”
