[edit] This article is bias

This does not include the official reason why Bangladesh government is charging him for. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.188.142.75 (talkcontribs)

  • It mentions the charges of sedition, treason, blasphemy and espionage. Stop adding uncited material. Andjam 09:42, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
  • There are always 2 sides to any story. This article only discuss the view in favor of Salah Choudhury. Why is the other angle written only in 1 sentence? xsp85 07:32, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Bangladesh passport forbids traveling to Israel. He was arrested for violating passport laws. Same thing would have happened if some one before 1990s went to South Africa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.168.236.229 (talk) 12:23, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lets be fair here

According to CIA's The World Factbook, Bangladesh has population on 147,365,352. The percentage of Bangladeshi who are Jewish? 0% Question, why would a Bangladeshi weekly magazine be made up of almost all Jewish "special contributors," when the percentage of Jews living in Bangladesh is 0. (I'm not trying to be racist here, just raising the question. I hope you understand. I have many Jewish friend. I'm not Anti-Semite.) xsp85 08:3, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

  • I don't understand why people are arguing whether this piece is bias or not, the point is, a man is facing death for attempting to go to Israel! Was he a terrorist? No. Was he carrying weapons or illegal drugs with him? No. But I suppose that's a fair sentence for someone who, heaven forbid, tries flying to the enemy country.

Completely trumped up charges!

I don't think the 'Weekly Blitz' has mostly jewish contributors or anything close. Check out their masthead: http://www.weeklyblitz.net/?cat=6

'AHSAN' 'Haque' "NURUZZAMAN" "Majumder" -- doesn;t read like a chapter of B'nai Brith. But by all means, lets hear "the other side" -- we certainly don't want to discriminate against the anti-semites. Heck, some of my best friends are Jew haters!

  • Read the article of Espionage in wikipedia, and see how many people were executed and life imprisonment in USA or Russia for that. Bangladesh is a democratic nation, has independent judiciary. If Mr Choudhury is innocent, he and the western media should be confident about his release fair and square.
