Religion of Pieces Update

I guess Bangladesh is off the go to list.

A divide has become increasingly visible between secular bloggers and conservative Islamic groups, often covertly connected with Islamist parties, with the secularists urging authorities to ban religion-based politics while the Islamists press for blasphemy laws to protect their faith.

  1. Bangladesh is not Pakistan and separated in a civil war in order to separate themselves from the corruption and growing Islamist influence that is destroying Pakistan.
    Yes, they still have to suppress the Islamist aggression within their population. The armed forces are loyal.
    But fighting the world wide Islamist aggression will be a problem for decades. If the government wants to truly protect the secularist leaders publicly opposing Islamists, they should issue them concealed carry permits and pistols for both them and their spouses.
    Free speech advocates who oppose Sharia law have been attacked and murdered in Europe by Islamists there and threatened here in Canada and the U.S. of A.
    It’s going to be a long war. But don’t abandon Muslim countries like Bangladesh whose government is truly opposing Islamist aggression.

  2. What does this have to do Islam?
    The future will belong to those who do not slander peace.
    Blasphemy is not protected speech.

  3. Blasphemy is not protected speech.
    Then what is protected speech?
    Nothing, as the 14th century savages well know.

  4. A previously unknown militant group, Ansar Bangla 7, claimed responsibility for the attack, Assistant Police Commissioner S.M. Shibly Noman told the Prothom Alo newspaper.
    Roy “was the target because of his crime against Islam,” the group said on Twitter.

    honolulujefe – “The future will belong to those who do not slander peace. Blasphemy is not protected speech.”
    Then I guess Islam is out for the future, because Islam is the most rabidly violent ideology ever to emerge on this planet.
    And yes, blasphemy is protected speech, to anyone but backwards camel-humping misogynistic murderous barbarians.
    I suspect that given the choice of phrases you used combined with your screen name, that your post was ironic, but it needed to be said anyway 😀

  5. Gee, one would have thought the famous ‘evidence based’ atheist reasoning would have induced him to be more careful.
    I guess, being that ‘evidence based’ atheist reasoning has killed hundreds of millions, maybe not…
    Just as bloody and oppressive a religion as the religion of pieces…

  6. I propose knife control as the obvious method for curbing this type of attack. People of Bangladesh must register all their knives, cleavers, swords, hatchets, battle axes and nail clippers with the government.
    Think of the children!

  7. Sounds like an apostate to me.
    “God may forgive the apostate but we are not allowed to do so.”

  8. “About 89% of Bangladeshis are Muslims, followed by Hindus (8%), Buddhists (1%) and Christians (0.5%).”
    89% just ain’t good enough for Mo.
    I do wish Justin Turdoo and Obola would step forward and explain this lone wolf attack by “disenfranchised youth” to the uninitiated. It’s always good comedy.

  9. “Charkaoui said Arabic and Muslim schools in Quebec are routinely targeted as potential hotbeds for radicalization, while the dozen or so Jewish schools in Montreal are often ignored.” Damn those Jewish radicals, they are stealing all the Nobel prizes and doctor slots in our universities.

  10. I was in Bangladesh last year–a beautiful country and gentle people. Since then I have lost a relative to the islamofacist firebombing campaign conducted by jamaat e islami there. When we were there my dad was so proud that since he left about 50 years ago, this has become a country where significant steps forward have been taken: he never used to see women at school or travelling unaccompanied. It sounds a bit absurd but have been big changes in civil rights since he was a kid. He was also alarmed by the extent that mosques are now ubiquitous throughout the countryside. This was not the case before. Foreign, no doubt Pakistani and Saudi, money is coming in and promoting a radical and violent agenda.
