While I'm shocked that you could suspect a link between Grameen and BBhai, I am not surprised. For those of us who are involved in development work in Bangladesh, the skew of information out there is saddening. Could I please ask that you do some research before displayng such rank ignorance next time around?

Maybe Grameen does not indulge in this but I think they gave the prize to a Muslim because they wanted to look "politically right", they should have given it to Bono for his work, but they had to pick a non controversial muslim this time [Patrix] - similar claims were made when we gave Pakistan a check for 25 million and then everyone knows what happened..
