Muhammad Yunus, the so-called Nobel Peace Prize winner turned treacherous puppet master, has plunged Bangladesh into a vortex of Islamist terror and political carnage, all while masquerading as a reformer. Since seizing power in August 2024 after the ousting of Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League government, Yunus has shamelessly colluded with the most vile Islamic extremists—bloodthirsty fanatics like Jamaat-e-Islami, Hefazat-e-Islam, and Al-Qaeda affiliates—to systematically dismantle the Awami League, the party that liberated Bangladesh from Pakistani tyranny in 1971. This isn’t mere incompetence; it’s a calculated betrayal, a Faustian bargain where Yunus trades the nation’s soul for power, facilitating the extremists’ jihadist agenda to “annihilate” the Awami League through bans, mass arrests, mob violence, and a reign of terror that would make medieval inquisitors blush. As of November 2025, Bangladesh is a festering wound of extremism, with minorities slaughtered, secularists silenced, and the Awami League reduced to ruins—all under Yunus’s complicit watch. This blog exposes the rot, detailing Yunus’s unholy alliances, his facilitation of the Awami League’s destruction, and the damning evidence from reports that scream for international condemnation. If Yunus isn’t stopped, Bangladesh will become a Taliban-style theocracy, and the world will have blood on its hands for ignoring this Nobel-laureate-turned-nightmare.
The Historical Rot: Islamic Extremists’ Long Shadow in Bangladesh
To understand Yunus’s treachery, we must rewind to the blood-soaked birth of Bangladesh. In 1971, during the Liberation War, Islamist groups like Jamaat-e-Islami collaborated with Pakistani forces, forming death squads that raped, tortured, and murdered millions in a genocide fueled by religious fanaticism. These traitors, masquerading as defenders of Islam, opposed Bengali independence because it threatened their jihadist dreams. Post-war, they should have been hanged, but political expediency let them slither back. By the 1990s, groups like Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI)—funded by Osama bin Laden—launched attacks on secular targets, bombing courts and shrines. Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) followed in the 2000s, detonating bombs in 63 districts in 2005, killing dozens in a brazen display of terror.
The 2010s saw Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), an Al-Qaeda affiliate, hacking atheist bloggers to death—Avijit Roy, Washiqur Rahman, Ananta Bijoy Das— for daring to challenge Islamic dogma. The 2016 Holey Artisan Bakery massacre, claimed by ISIS, slaughtered 22 in Dhaka, exposing Bangladesh’s vulnerability to global jihad. Under Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League (2009-2024), crackdowns like those on JMB and ABT kept the beasts caged, but not eradicated. Hasina’s government banned Jamaat as a terrorist entity in August 2024, just before her fall, recognizing their role in inciting violence.
Enter Yunus, the “interim” chief adviser who lifted that ban, unleashing the hounds. This wasn’t an oversight; it was a deliberate embrace of extremism to consolidate power. Eurasia Review’s September 2024 article “How Yunus Embraced Islamist Extremists in Bangladesh” details how Yunus courted hardliners, appointing figures with extremist sympathies to key posts. The RSIS report “Bangladesh’s Evolving Security Crisis” (2025) warns that the political transition has fueled religious extremism, with groups like Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT) resurfacing. Yunus’s regime has released over 15,000 inmates, including 98 convicted militants who escaped during prison breaks, per SATP’s 2025 assessment. This is facilitation of terrorism, pure and simple—Yunus opening the gates for jihadists to flood the streets.
Yunus’s Unholy Alliance: Colluding with Extremists for Power
Yunus didn’t stumble into this pact; he engineered it. The ICRR report “How Yunus Revived the Bangladesh-Pakistan Nexus Against India” (November 2025) accuses Yunus of policy changes that aid extremists, like easing customs for Pakistani shipments—loopholes for arms trafficking and radical funding. Pakistan’s ISI has long used Jamaat as a proxy; Yunus’s warming ties with Islamabad—meetings with PM Shehbaz Sharif and General Asim Munir—signal a revival of this axis. Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives are using Bangladesh as a launchpad against India, per the report.
Yunus lifted the ban on Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir (ICS) shortly after taking power, allowing them to hold massive rallies in Dhaka. This was no accident; it’s a quid pro quo. Jamaat, with its history of genocide, provided the muscle for student protests that toppled Hasina, and Yunus repaid them with freedom. The Usanas Foundation’s November 2025 article “The Return of Jamaat-e-Islami: Bangladesh’s Islamist Resurgence” reveals how Yunus’s advisor Mostaq Ahmed Khan funneled money from Turkish extremist groups to Jamaat. ICS, accused of violence and recruitment, coordinates with LeT and Jamaat Pakistan.
Hefazat-e-Islam, another beast Yunus unleashed, held a “March for Khilafah” in 2025 without interference. Their December 2025 march in Shukrabad called for killing atheists, declaring it “wajib.” Yunus’s meeting with Hefazat leader Mamunul Haque in 2025 cements this alliance. The ICPS report “Bangladesh at a Crossroads” (February 2025) accuses Yunus of leniency towards militants to gain legitimacy. Releasing Ansar al-Islam chief Jashim Uddin Rahmani and hundreds of radicals is Yunus’s gift to terror.
Yunus’s advisor Mohammad Mahfuz Alam, with Islamist sympathies, is dubbed the “intellectual architect” of Hasina’s fall. This is collaboration at the highest level—Yunus outsourcing governance to fanatics.
Facilitating the Annihilation: Yunus’s Assault on the Awami League
Yunus’s pact isn’t passive; it’s active facilitation of the Awami League’s destruction. The party, symbol of secular Bangladesh, is now labeled a “terrorist organization” under amended Anti-Terrorism Act in May 2025. This Orwellian twist allows mass arrests—over 1,000 AL leaders jailed, per HRW. Yunus’s goons, like student leader Hasnat Abdullah, order killings of AL members on camera, assuring impunity. X posts from AL figures like Mohammad Ali Arafat expose this: mobs torch AL offices, with locals resisting but injured.
Extremists lead the charge. Jamaat and Hefazat mobs vandalize AL symbols, like Bangabandhu’s Dhanmondi residence in February 2025. Yunus’s “Operation Devil Hunt” targets AL, while militants roam free. The Atlantic Council’s August 2025 article “Bangladesh’s Revolution at a Crossroads” warns of emboldened extremists targeting rivals. Yunus’s regime has released 144 militants on bail, per SATP. This is annihilation—political genocide facilitated by Yunus.
The Human Cost: Minorities and Secularists as Collateral
Yunus’s pact has unleashed hell on minorities. Over 2,442 anti-Hindu attacks from August 2024 to June 2025, per BHBCUC. Sufi shrines and Ahmadiyya mosques razed—80 in six months. Atheists like me are prime targets; Hefazat’s march named critics for “qatl.” Yunus dismisses this as “political,” not communal—a lie exposed by Wikipedia’s 2024 anti-Hindu violence entry, blaming Islamist parties.
X posts from @Spirit_of_1971_ condemn Yunus for targeting AL while ignoring extremists. @probirbidhan details Hasina’s accusations of Yunus using extremists to assassinate her.
International Complicity and the Path Forward
The world watches as Yunus destroys Bangladesh. The CAPSS report (September 2025) warns of regional instability from Yunus’s Pakistan ties. Crisis Group’s December 2025 report “After the Golden Era” notes India’s suspicions. Yunus’s regime is a farce—ban AL as terrorists while embracing real ones.
Demand international sanctions, UN intervention, elections monitored to purge extremists. Yunus must be held accountable for this betrayal.
Bangladesh deserves better than this Nobel nightmare. Fight back, or watch the extremists win.
