I am pained whenever people fight and kill each other, and I am pained now by what is happening in Bangladesh.

Violence in the name of religion has taken the lives of at least six people and made hundreds homeless in Bangladesh.

The former Bangladesh cricket team captain Mashrafe Mortaza put it well in a Facebook post soon after the attacks began: “Saw two defeats last night. One was Bangladesh cricket team’s (where Bangladesh lost to Scotland in an ICC T20 World Cup match), and that hurt. The other was a defeat for the whole of Bangladesh, which tore my heart to pieces.”

Mashrafe, now a Member of Parliament, also posted a picture of a burning village, according to reports in the Bangladesh dailies.
