Yes.
Pakistan was affected by severe floods a few years ago and even just 5 months back.

The USA is also affected by natural disasters.

Exaggerated and sensationalist nonsense.
As a Bangladeshi I have been observing all these "predictions" over the years and they were all exaggerated.
1. The report says 17% of the country "could" be flooded. Even if that did happen that portion of the population can move to other regions...
Threatening a country with war or civil war or an armed insurgency, or openly threatening to disturb law and order is a crime in many countries.
Just because you like Jamatis doesn't mean they are entitled to threaten our country with war.
Well I felt they would somehow connect the presence of the Bangladeshi national cricket team to the Awami League, as in their eyes everything is an Awami or Indian plot.
One of them on this thread has already blamed it on the Awami league despite the fact that Habibul Bashar doesn't even play...
Al-Zakir is calling for them to be cursed (lanat) and to be punished with hellfire (jahanam).
So going to a public gathering in a public square means you should go to hell?
Also I doubt the players were forced as Habibul Bashar was there and he is no longer a Bangladeshi player or playing in...
Jamatis' world is collapsing around them.
- A week ago they were threatening Bangladesh with civil war (yeah right, as if the 4th party in Bangladesh with 4.6% of votes could do such a thing).
THEN...

I've just been told by a well-placed source a number of things including:
- It's a "given" that the BNP will win the elections, but it could be "suicide" for them to work with the Jamat, so they make a deal with Ershad (former president and Jatiya party leader, 3rd party of Bangladesh after...

Many in the BNP leadership have always hated the fundamentalists of Jamat who fought against the creation of Bangladesh, but the party has had to work with them to oust the Awami League from power.
The Awami League and Hasina formed an alliance with the Jamatis in the past as well.
What will...
- BNP are going to win the next election and form the government.
It has pretty been decided in Washington that this is what will happen. The BNP will rule Bangladesh for the next 5 years (60 months). Behind the figure of the prime minister there are certain other elements in the country that...

1. Please do not threaten our national cricket team. Attending Shahbagh does not put them in danger as they are not attacking anyone except Jamati leaders now on trial. The only group that would thus put them "under danger" is the extremist and fundamentalist Jamat. Jamatis have already...
You insult people day and night on this forum and label everyone who disagrees with you "Awami" a "dalal" "thug" etc.
You guys have already got the word "raz*kar" banned what more do you want?
