It was a daunting task to find quality articles and interviews from experts and compile them in-line with Islamic perspectives. This issue has covered one of the key topics of this time – terrorism and its consequences. We had the plan to collect articles based on regions, the nature of terrorism and its effect on Muslims around or Islam, and its overall impact on the society. However, we failed to achieve this goal as not enough quality write-ups were in our hands this time. Hence, we concentrated on the topic – Terrorism and its Islamic perspectives. We hope that readers will get some information from these excellent articles and wonderful interviews.

  • Appendices and References
    Appendices: Appendix 1: Number of Madrasa Appendix 2: List of Attacks on Hindus 2013 Appendix 3: List of Attacks on Ahmadiyya Appendix 4: Comparison of 2006 and 2008 Jamaat-e-Islami Constitution POLITICAL ISLAM & THE ELECTIONS IN BANGLADESH 125 Appendix 1: Numbers of Madrasa There is no definitive figure for how many madrasa operate in Bangladesh. The statistics have to be gathered from different madrasa boards, but there are also some institutions that fall outside the purview of any board. We have tried to assemble information that's as accurate as possible from a variety of sources and collate it in a table below. The information suggests a total number of approximately 19,000 madrasa (alia and quomi) with nearly 4 million students enrolled. The vast bulk of these are primary education establishments, where the number of girls is surprisingly almost at parity with boys. Some have said Bangladesh has the most feminised madrasa system in the world.379 In this table we chose to use the Befaqul Madarisil Arabia figure for the quomi madrasa on the advice of the director of the government-run Islamic Foundation, who was adamant that other estimates were excessive. However we also cite the larger estimates below. Madrasa Estimated Numbers ALIA STUDENTS QUOMI STUDENTS TOTAL Befaqul Madarisil Arabia 5,250 1,357,505 Alia Stand Alone Primary 4,416 676,398 Alia Primary attached to Secondary 9313 1,741.049 Only Dhakil to Kamil 17 2,907 Subtotal 13,746 2,420,354 5,250 1,357,505 Total Madrasa Establishments Total Madrasa 18,996 Total Madrasa Students 3,777,859 On average 171 students at each alia madrasa .
