Islamists In Bangladesh Demand Murder of More Bloggers

Posted by Soulskill on from the maybe-everybody-could-just-chill-out-for-a-bit dept.

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."

  1. 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?
