| 2010-07-18 |
| The Bangladesh government has ordered tens of thousands of mosques and libraries to remove books written by Syed Abul Ala Maududi, founder of the Jamaat-e-Islami, Shamim Mohammad Afjal, head of the state-run Islamic Foundation, said on Saturday. He said that the books written by Maududi were deemed anti-Islamic and likely to foster militancy. "We will withdraw Maududi's books from all of the state-funded 24,000 libraries," he said. |
