[edit] Sufis
SUFI'IS ARE NOT MUSLIMS, AS U SAY YOUR SELF MOST OF THE MUSLIMS ARE SUNNIS. SUFISM IS OUTSIDE THE FOLD OF AHL AL SUNNAH, THEREFORE THE SUNNIS CANNOT BE ATTRIBUTED TO SUFI'I SCHOLARS.
- They claim to be Muslims. Rewording might be necessary but they should be mentioned. If you don't, it becomes POV. A complete picture has to be presented part of which is to also mention that some Muslims do not accept that Sufis are Muslims. Urnonav 19:59, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Sufi's are Muslims. Its not wise to generalize like this. Let God decide who are the True muslims. Otherwise, Sufi's have the same beliefs as the muslims, its only some of their actions are strictly against the mainstream Islam (Sunni). So, yes Sufi's are Muslims.
[edit] Ka
I removed this section from the article because I fail to see the link with Islam. It should be mentioned elsewhere.
"In November 2003, a Dhaka court banned the sale or distribution of Nasreen's latest book, "Ka," an account of Nasreen's relationships with Bangladeshi intellectuals, in response to a defamation suit filed by a Bangladeshi writer. "Ka" was sold openly on street corners after the ban."

The link with Islam is that the book mocks the religion (which is not explicitly stated above).
[edit] Section on torture on non-Muslims by "government supporters"
The following text is not substantiated by any sources. There might also be POV-biased. If sufficient sources or citing is available the section may be reinserted. Section possibly needs rewording for NPOV
"After the election of 2001, many Hindus were attacked by a section of the governing regime. Girls such as 14-year-old Purnima was raped by the members of BNP (the governing party) but the law could not do anything. Intellectuals such as Gopal Krishna Muhuri also killed by the members of the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh. According to the human rights organizations around 200 women were raped and 1000 people were silently killed.
The Islamic fundamentalists are encouraging a society, which is cornering the Hindus in Bangladesh. They are encouraging anti-Indian sentiments to encourage anti-Hindu sentiments on Bangladesh. They have been accusing Hindus of being spies of India. The recent problem of India and Bangladesh about the border issue is making the situation worse."

- Yes, its true. After BNP(Bangladesh National Party) came to power, there has been numerous attacks on Hindus mainly in rural villages. However, its to be noted that areas of Bangladesh in Dhaka city have still remained safe for Hindus as before. Infact, most business in Tatibazar, Najirabazar etc. are still owned and run by Hindus.
[edit] note
"Islamic egalitarianism, especially the ideals of equality, brotherhood, and social justice, attracted numerous Buddhists and lower caste Hindus. Muslim missionaries were responsible for most conversions. "
Could this sentence be reworded? It seems like an opinion rather than a fact. Islam giving equality, brotherhood or social justice is an opinion of the Mohammedans, not necessarily a fact. Hikingdom 15:20, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tablighi Jamaat
I made a minor edit to the introductory section. Tabliqh is mentioned but there is no article on the subject; someone with knowledge of this needs to write something as there is currently a pointer to a subject which has not been defined or explained. I also changed a pointer to Tabliqh to Tablighi Jamaat, which I believe is the movement that the writer was referring to. abdullahazzam 14:25 21/10/06
