A clash of
civilizations is unfolding in Muslim Bangladesh, where the forces of
radical jihadi Islamism are trying to topple a liberal democracy, and no
one in the West seems interested.
Prime Minister Sheikh
Hasina and her ruling Awami League have accomplished something of which
no other Muslim leader in any Islamic country could dream.
She fought a
courageous battle against Jihadi Islamism by strengthening secular
democracy in the country's constitution and barring religious parties
from using Islam as a political tool.
