[Reader-list] The Usual Suspects

[Naeem Mohaiemen]

[Note: Shuddha had an excellent essay in the Parliament Bombing
anthology (do I have the reference right?). If possible, would be
great if he could post it.]

Bomb blast in India. Round up the usual suspects. Calling Abdur,
Rahman, Rahim, Karim, Jodu, Modhu, Chodu. All you ****er illegal
Bangladeshi immigrants with your made in Jinjira genjis.

As Lawrence Chua said while reviewing Peter Brimelow's "Alien Nation":
"Are the wogs here to roll an honest burrito, or blow up the world
trade center?"

I nostalgically remember the days of hysteria about "Pakistani
militants". Bullet riddled bodies (dead don't talk) and passports (in
their pockets?). Now it's so much easier to just bring out the Bangla
bogey. Bangladesh Government has obliged by reviving the "militant
islamic cells". US has chimed in by listing Harkatul (who are they? do
they live only in state dept briefings?) as "terrorist organization".
That means next time you go through JFK, you too will have a second
room irrigation. Huji, JMB, -- they come in the media for a minute and
then disappear. Cold storage until the next time. The next TIME
"Rescue Mission" cover story.


"The modus operandi, the way the bombs were manufactured and concealed
in bags, is very similar to the way Huji [Bangladesh] operates," said
Pankaj Singh, a senior Rajasthan police officer.

The bags were made out of Jute were they? Sealen with jackfruit juice.
Lined with Nilkhet Bangla choti.
