Islamists In Bangladesh Demand Murder of More Bloggers

An anonymous reader writes "Days after the killing of leftist blogger Thaba Baba, mosques throughout Bangladesh called for a popular uprising to demand the killing of other bloggers who had held a rally calling for the death of Jama'at-e-Islami leaders convicted of war crimes. This happens in an atmosphere of ongoing tension between Left and Right, with the leftist government threatening to outlaw rightist parties while the right uses violence to quiet selected enemies."

    I don't want to ever endorse violence, but as Machiavellian, I recognize it will always be with us.

    The fact is that leftist regimes are unstable. They start as liberal democracies, and end up totalitarian, because leftism is an apocalyptic ideology.

    Killing a leftist blogger now may seem cruel, but it may save millions and the life of a culture later on.

      And what do you think Islamists are?
      They are totalitarians--wanting to control all aspects of life--and further "left" than these leftists. Islamists are the antipathy of "right" or "conservative".
      When a so-called "right" group or "conservative" group starts wanting to control all aspects of life, they have reversed course and become the "left"/leftists/totalitarians.
      It seems that most folks don't understand this--or that Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun types are totalitarians, that is, leftists.

    That's kinda like saying the people that flew airplanes into the WTC on 9/11, and the people in various middle eastern countries that have extremely barbaric laws and customs don't represent Islam at all.

    Sure, muslims used to be extremely civilized and were at one point considered to be the most advanced, technologically and intellectually, but where are they now?

    Now, they are just puppets of the Jews. The Zionists control EVERYONE.

    Most terrorists are Christians. I've never been blown up by a Muslim.

    The major difference is that when a Christian nutbag kills some people, in no part of the world is there a celebration in the streets. Whereas successful Islamic terrorism is in many places openly celebrated by whole communities passing out candy and cheering about how the murderers are heroes. It is intertwined with a culture of hatred and violence that is supported by communities.

    You might ask yourself why that is. Why "those people" hate us so much. It's not a function of their religion.

  5. Leftist as in Hitler? by mnooning · · Score: 1, Troll

    As head of the German Socialist Party (NAZI), Adolf was as left wing as they get. Except that the communists were even more socialist, so Adolf and the boys were considered right wing by comparison. After WWII communists began calling those who want less government "right wing" as a verbal engineering ploy to discredit them, and the current "right versus left" association stuck. All that being said, what on earth does Islamists murdering bloggers have to do with left versus right wing? Are you so left wing that you are using this issue to discredit those who want less government?

    The muslims didn't come by force or in any way invaded Palestine. Islam spread and christians converted over the centuries and muslims became majority. During the muslim rule in Palestine there have always been peace and the reason why christian communities continued to thrive there until Israel was established and christians fled en masse.

    The crusaders slaughtered everyone it didn't matter to them if they raped and slaughtered a christian or a muslim and they ruined Palestine. After the muslims liberated Palestine again christian continued to thrive.

    You are either very ignorant and history revisionist. You really should study the crusades in more detail, the church and king historians would not agree with you, even wikipedia would prove you wrong.

    Why, what happened then, here? Apart from the news was full of some crap about a building falling over somewhere in Mexico or something.
