What kind of Muslims are these, asks Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday pleaded with Islamist extremists to stop killing in the name of religion. “Islam is a religion of peace. Stop killing in the name of the religion,” Sheikh Hasina said in a televised address in which she declared two days of mourning.

“It was an extremely heinous act. What kind of Muslims are these people,” she said, referring to the terrorists.

“They don’t have any religion... Terrorism is their religion,” she said, with Army Chief General Abu Belal Muhammad Shafiul Huq by her side.
