| Hundreds of Muslims in Bangladesh have protested against recent suicide bombings blamed on Islamic militants. The protests were organised by the country's leading Muslim clerics, who have denounced the attacks as against the tenets of Islam. It comes a day after a suicide bomb attack killed at least six people in northern Bangladesh. At least 25 people have been killed in a series of bombings across Bangladesh this year. The main demonstration took place at the Baitul Mukarram national mosque in Dhaka after Friday prayers. "Islam prohibits suicide bombings. These bombers are enemies of Islam," the chief cleric, Obaidul Haq, told worshippers. "It is a duty for all Muslims to stand up against those who are killing people in the name of Islam," he said.
Similar protests took place in towns and cities around Bangladesh. | |

| #1 So the 'Muslim Street' is rising up against the boomers? No the mullahs have been given their orders- suppress the internal bombings - suicide attacks against the infidels in their own countries are ok) or face the full wrath of the security apparatus. |
