Third Bangladeshi Blogger Murdered In As Many Months

An anonymous reader writes: Ananta Bijoy Das blogged about science in Bangladesh, also sometimes tackling difficult issues about religion. He won an award in 2006 for "deep and courageous interest in spreading secular and humanist ideals and messages." He's now been murdered for his writings, the third Bangladeshi blogger to die in the past few months. Four masked assailants chased him down in broad daylight and attacked him with cleavers and machetes. The Committee to Protect Journalists says Das is the 20th writer to be murdered globally so far this year. Arrests have been made in Bangladesh for the murders of the previous two bloggers this year, but no convictions have yet been made. Das's murderers remain at large.

In Islam there is no separation of Mosque and State. This is different to Christianity, Judaism etc but most people in the West don't understand this. They think Islam is some kind of personal faith, but it is not.

Islam is a totalitarian theocratic political ideology with a sprinkling of badly-plagiarized superstition sprinkled on top. It is political because Islam asserts authority over believers AND kuffar (a derogatory term translated as 'infidel' but closer in intent to 'n*gg3r' and applied to all non-Muslims).

Unfortunately, like most Slashdotters, you think you understand Islam and thus ignorantly swat away the argument of someone who correctly deduced that Islam is completely political. This is a bad habit and you should stop it. Please understand that you know very little about Islam and would do well to listen to those that understand it - particularly the Islamic deceptions and political nature (and for real Jedi, the fact that Islamic orthodoxy is completely false and was invented by Caliph Abd al-Malik for *political reasons* [ie. Arab Imperialism] and not Mohammed as Islam falsely claims).

So I would suggest you understand the limitations of your knowledge and *listen* to those who do understand Islam (which is the most evil and deceptive political ideology that man has ever inflicted on other men ). Thanks.

As we speak Budhists are murdering Muslims on at least 2 islands in a vast religiously driven ethnic cleansing war that's been going on for over a year now.

You do actually have examples of ALL the above murdering every OTHER of the above for exactly that reason - in fact the single deadliest religious terrorist group on the planet is the Christian Lord's Resistance Army. Islamic extermists could take lessons - those guys kill more people in a month than all Islamic groups combined have managed in a decade !
You just don't HEAR about the others very much, because they don't make the news, because the places where they happen don't have oil.
