In Bangladesh, the Christians know what they’re up against. In the U.S., Christian leaders would regard these people are vicious Islamophobes. Don’t they realize that doing things like canceling Midnight Mass could harm the “Muslim-Christian dialogue”? Catholic churches in Dinajpur should expect a strongly-worded letter from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops! “Bangladeshi Christians Skip […]
Pakistan: Hindu conference to honor Muhammad and show Islam is peaceful
In 1951, Hindus were 22% of the Pakistani population (including East Pakistan, now Bangladesh). In 1997, the percentage of Hindus was 1.6% in Pakistan and 10.2% in Bangladesh. This drop in the Hindu population is because of Islamic hostility toward Hindus; in classic Islamic law, Hindus, not being “People of the Book,” must convert to […]
Bangladesh: Muslims set off bombs in Hindu temple, shoot at people fleeing
But if you dare raise your voice against this savagery, you will be defamed as a purveyor of “hate speech” and treated like a criminal. Best to forget all about it. Hey, Kardashians! “Nine injured in attack on Hindu temple in Bangladesh – police,” Reuters, December 11, 2015: Two people suffered gunshot wounds and seven […]
Bangladesh: Islamic State claims bombings of Shi’ite Ashura procession that murdered one person and wounded dozens
“Soldiers of the Caliphate in Bangladesh” claimed that they had planted the bombs among the “polytheists in the city of Dhaka, during the holding of their polytheist rituals.” However, Quamrul Islam, Bangladeshi’s food minister, insists that “there is no existence of Islamic State in Bangladesh.” Quamrul Islam may just be trying to minimize the problem, […]
Bangladesh arrests secularist blogger after he criticizes Islam
“The ramifications of such abuse of the legal system has already spread fear among the thinkers, bloggers, journalists and educators. The government has willingly executed the Islamist dream of shutting down secular and liberal ideas and activists.” This is increasingly true in the West as well. Criticize Islam, and what happens? See how hard the […]
Bangladesh: Muslims threaten journalists whose “freedom of expression breaks the limit”
So many jihadi threats against journalists lately, and they’re all so easily solved: we should send to Bangladesh some of the “journalists” who consistently downplay or deny the jihad threat, demonize and smear those fighting against it, and churn out puff pieces about Islamic supremacists and terror-tied mosques — people such as Christiane Amanpour, Manya […]
Bangladesh: Muslims attack Christian pastor with knife, attempt to slit his throat
“Police said the attackers are yet to be identified but suspect they could be members of a fundamentalist group.” No kidding, really? Not a Christian fundamentalist group, either. “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) More “dialogue” needed, eh, U.S. Catholic bishops? How many jihadis have you turned from their ways by […]
Bangladesh: Islamic jihad group issues international hit list of bloggers, activists and writers
How barbaric. In the United States we don’t murder writers for offending Muslims. Instead, we excoriate them as “racist,” “bigoted” “Islamophobes,” accuse them of all manner of offenses, no matter how wild the charge, and ostracize them in the name of “dialogue,” “multiculturalism,” “public safety” or whatever works. You see, we are much more civilized. […]
Bangladesh: Jihadis suspected as two officials at Sufi shrine have their throats slit
“It might be one of those Islamist militant groups who think shrines conduct unholy practices and spread misconceptions of Islam.” “Millions of Bangladeshis worship at shrines, but militants consider Sufis — followers of a mystical form of Islam — and other shrine-goers as heretics and grave worshippers.” Militants such as Muhammad: “Narrated Abu Hurairah: The […]
After 4 jihad murders, Bangladesh police ask secular bloggers not to insult Islam
The idea that they should be killed for criticizing Islam — that the Bangladesh police take for granted. The idea of telling Islamic supremacists that murdering people who disagree with them is barbaric and pointless — that apparently never crosses the minds of Bangladeshi officialdom. And before you get on your high horse, as Barack […]
