 On this day in history the 17th of August 2005 something terrible occurred in the country of Bangladesh. Now what happened on this day in history that was that 500 bombs were set off in 300 different locations in 63 of 64 provinces in Bangladesh. Now this 500 bombings occurred in a space of 30 minutes from 11 30 a.m. to 12 noon this day in history. There was an Islamist terrorist organization that was responsible. They claimed responsibility for these attack and it wasn't until you know the next year March 2006 that these suspects two suspects were eventually captured. Now five were sentenced to death. One was sentenced to 20 years in prison for their parts in the bomb attacks in that country. By the end 2013 you know prosecutors had chased down these cases and about 200 of them out of 273 found in connection with the 2005 Bangladesh bombings were disposed off. Terrible situation, terrible day in Bangladesh. I'm just I'm mind blown really you know to hear about the figures 500 bombs in the 300 locations 63 out of 64 that is that is insane but you know I'm you know I think it may be also is a good time to you know to talk about 62 of 63. 62 of 63 okay. I think it's also a good time to wonder why there is always these things connected with Islamist you know fundamentalist. It never is with any other religion and I'm trying to you know say this as carefully as possible. It never is with any other religion. It's never with any other you know cause. It's always the same Islamist fundamentalist. When you hear about religious extremists it's always with Islamists and I think it was yesterday or two days ago that I posted something saying that I think I have also mentioned here that simply saying and this is to our Muslim brothers and sisters and everyone who you know is who you know reads the Quran judiciously and of course it's Muslim simply saying that these people aren't practicing the true Islam and the real Islam is not ever going to be enough anymore. If you're looking at what's happened in Afghanistan today if you look at you know the growth of ISIS and ISIL and al-Qaeda and you know every other terrorist group al-Shabaab al-Qurram simply saying that all the beautiful peaceful peace loving Muslims across the world are the ones practicing the true Islam and what the Quran truly teaches is never going to be enough. I think there's so much more work that needs to be done to teach and to practice and to show and to to force the true peace that the Quran teaches that the Islam teaches by simply denouncing them it's never in it's not in any way changing or reducing the amount of these extremists and these religious extremists. So much more work needs to be done. I've said it to a couple of friends of mine who you know always try to tell you oh you know you don't know the Quran well enough you've not read well enough go read Quran you know that Islam doesn't teach violence and all of that okay but it's still the same religion that is being used by these extremists so then maybe there's more to it that we really don't know. Yeah I see I see where you're coming from to some extent you know if you know Muslim friends of ours tell us that these terrorists are not practicing the true Islam so whose responsibility is it is it to teach these people the true Islam since you know they obviously are getting it wrong. That's why you can never overemphasize the role that religion has to play as well as religious leaders because definitely these people are coming from some form of doctrine or teaching. So I believe that Christian Muslim leaders have a role to play in making sure that they really teach what the true Islam is and find out what exactly is the origin of these fake Islamic teachings that practice all that you know emphasizes violence and subjugation of people women and children you know so yes religious leaders do have a role to play. It's a very small amount of the persons anyway I think let's not waste a more time on this discussion. We would now move to 1998 where on this day from President Bill Clinton testified before a U.S. grand jury he had been accused. This was a four-year-long investigation and he had been accused of you know a couple of things but I think the one that stuck was his you know relationship with Monica Lewinsky who was working in the White House then. On this day he first of all denied any sexual relationship or any sexual you know business with Miss Lewinsky and unfortunately and I've also seen theories that showed that the amount of money that was spent in investigating Bill Clinton's relationship with Monica Lewinsky was even more than the amount of money that was spent in the 9-11 investigation. But this became the highlight of that trial. There were other things that Bill Clinton and Hillary were accused of at that time. So this might have meant to fund some you know you know real estate you know issues here and there but it was a Monica Lewinsky story that stuck. He denied it outrightly and eventually was impeached you know but you know after a couple of weeks was acquitted. The the the issue with you know him being impeached was of course he was accused of lying on their oath when he said that he didn't have any business with Monica Lewinsky and then eventually owned up to it you know not long after to say that yes he did have sexual relationships with or sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky. His case or his argument then was that the question wasn't put to him outright it seemed like it was an audacious question and so he didn't necessarily lie you know to the to the jury but you know things eventually turned out that way and he was impeached before of course being acquitted and let's finish this turn here. This story just takes us back to reflecting on you know law right and how people can basically get over anything if they have a good lawyer they have a good defense you know they keep saying lawyers are no liars yes there's a fact of that but the thing about law is it's really what's what you can prove it's about evidence even if you did something if you can't be proved that's the challenge of law and prosecution you have to be able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that someone actually committed a certain crime and regarding that first trial he said that the answers he gave were legally accurate yeah I don't know how you define that legally accurate that he had not you know ultimately lied or asked anybody to lie but eventually admitted that he had had inappropriate you know relations with Lewinsky and apologized to his wife for misleading her and apologized to the American people but I think he was the first ever US president to be to face this this sort of sort of impeached I think I don't want to give any false information but I think he probably is the first or there was one before him and then Donald Trump eventually but of course he was the first sitting president to testify before the office of the country all right that's what happened on this day in 2005 in Bangladesh 500 bombs going off in 300 locations and in the United States where from president Bill Clinton testified before jury on this day with regards his you know alleged relationships with Monica Lewinsky and then other crimes that he was also accused of we'll take a short break when we come back we're moving into our first major discussion for today we're going to be looking at the abductions in Zamfara and in other parts of the country and what more needs to be done to protect Nigerian citizens and Nigerian school students moving forward we'll be joined by Yehosa Getzo as a security analyst stay with us
