Background
On 17 August 2005, Bangladesh witnessed the largest act of terrorism in its history through a bomb attack orchestrated by JMB in all 61 districts of the country. In December 2015, a seminar titled "Terrorism in the Eyes of Islam: Bangladesh Perspective" was held under the chairmanship of IGP A. K. M. Shahidul Haque to address the issue of terrorism. During the seminar, the police emphasized the necessity of assistance from the imams and ulama of the country's mosques to combat terrorism. Farid Uddin Masood presented a proposal to collect signatures of one lakh imams against terrorism, which was supported by the IGP. The IGP agreed to this proposal and urged the initiative to be implemented. == References ==
