If you want to be a murtad, mushrik or worship shaitan then go ahead so long you do not interfere with other people business, in this case Islam. Who has given authority to these lunatic to criticize Islam. These bigot think just because maloon hasina imposed Bengali mushrik infused secularism on Muslim, they have license to criticize Islam.

Was section 57 of the ICT Act not enough for you? Perhaps Pakistani styled blasphemy laws are better suited to your liking.

In BD radicalization happens in waz mahfils. Maulana moududi first started radicalization of Muslims by mixing politics with religion. Instead of finding ways how to better integrate with society their agenda is to how to alienate people. Later the Islamic radication taken more degrees on it. These are funded from western radical intelligence(KSA PK). From JeI group people are learning how to harm one another. You and I have no time for this nonsense. But there are jobless people who earn through religious institutions. If the religion is at stake they wont have anything to survive. So they devote their time to find out who is their anti. If you go on bloggers pages there are plenty of radical people. But initially it was found out that Shibir and BNP activists were reveling the social status of bloggers to harm ganojagaran mancha. ABT members were arrested. Avijit and co all are unknown to us. But they made hit list who's piece they want. It seems they are popular. Global media publishes these within hours because according to them religions are BS and these people are killed for imaginary purpose of backward people. These radicals are also learning from global radication of other countries and UK returnees are also taking their part.

You're desperately trying to make out BD as a terrorist haven when infact it is not. And so what, mehfil is a congregation, these congregations happen all over ther world why are they not radicalised? These funds you are talking about are from western donors who send as a sadqa or a zakat fund not to propagate terrorism. You seem to have grasped the rhetoric of the far right english groups quite well promoting your lies as truth.

During BNP's tenure boi mela and these nastiks were well and alive. No one bothered.

Are you purposely trying to throw our country into the sewers?

Jammat is a old mans club which is very much defunct.

Hasina and her cronies are nothing but scum. Her ratchet son begged for US intervention quite a while back, what a spineless rat. And if the country goes to the dogs it's because of her.

Well, everyday thousands of people are murdered around the globe, they could be atheist, could be writers, could be artist, could be anything... What's special in these particular folks that they need to get into the headlines? And how exactly the information on their murder gets spread so quickly?

It has more to do with the reason why they are killed rather than the actual killing itself.

@bongbang Read the part where he says he quit Shibir and the part where he says that they accept females. And if we are going to take the part of him being part of Shibir, well, he was also part of Chatra League. Looks like the only one here trying to act smart is you and clearly have given us the complete opposite idea about yourself.

And I really don't give a crap about what someone like you thinks of me or confuses me with someone else.

I never understood the logic of these radicals. Atheism in Bangladesh is less than 1% of the population, while Islam at 90% (and still growing). Exactly why should you be hurt from the words of such a small minority?

It's not about their number, the number doesn't exceed more than 1,000 but it's what they do. They spread hatred to the majority for which only hatred is spewed towards them. Also, we have a law against insulting religion but its not practised but rather the laws of insulting Mujib, Hasina or questioning the death toll of 1971 (or even asking for a new investigation into it) can land you into jail, pisses off the people even further. Not to mention when foreigners come in and cr@p from their mouths about freedom of speech but don't mention any of these.

Well, let me make it a bit clearer. The attacks on, for instance, the likes of Humayun Azad, Shamsur Rahman in the 2000s were what you could call reactions from the radicals. They were highly popular, critical to the ideologies of the radicals and thus, a proper threat. Did they really receive the attention of the global media like the current incidents are receiving? Nope. What's the reason that everyone suddenly became so interested in these secular writers in Bangladesh since the last few years?

The AL MPs are actually right, it's not possible to protect every single person in the country, these writers are just ordinary citizens. It only goes on to prove that things are now getting out of hand for the government...

The key things with this minority, it's merely through the spread of texts and words, which isn't wrong. The problem lies with the fact that someone drew blood. Law enforcement in Bangladesh for the most part has more to do with our police force not being the most competent in the world unless it's directly pursued by the government. But, that has more to do with unethical practices from the government which we have plenty of.

You have a point here, this likely because of the political climate of the world right now and Islam's unfortunate place in it. It's going to grab more attention. Additionally, Bangladesh has been in the spotlight more often in the international stage. The media attention is one of the minor cons.

Nah.. not really. The attacks I was talking about took place during the same period that witnessed 9/11, London bombings and several other notable terrorist incidents. Islam's position then was more or less the same as it's now. And we actually hosted several world leaders during that time on their official state visits, so there was no dearth of spotlight.

Wasn't the attack on Rahman in 1999? That was right before 9/11 and the London Bombings. As for Azad well, I'm not really sure honestly. I suppose people were more fixated on Muslims of the Greater Middle East instead. Anyway I think people started to really started to take a grater notice of these events with Roy's death. Since he was an American citizen.
