Fourth secular blogger murdered in Bangladesh: activist

Source: AFP

A gang armed with machetes hacked a secular blogger to death at his home in Dhaka on Friday in the fourth such murder in Bangladesh since the start of the year, an activist group and police said.

Niloy Neel was murdered after the gang broke into his apartment in the capital's Goran neighbourhood, according to the Bangladesh Blogger and Activist Network which was alerted to the attack by a witness.

"They entered his room in the fifth floor and shoved his friend aside and then hacked him (Neel) to death. He was a listed target of the Islamist militants," the network's head Imran H. Sarker told AFP.

Like Pamela Gellar.

He knew that acting free would make them hack him up.
He did it anyway.
His own fault!
What did he expect?
He did it for the publicity.
He wanted it!
What an islamophobe; what a hatemonger.

(Yes. That was sarcasm).

RIP to the bravest of the brave, and to those dwindling few who dare stand up against fundamentalistt blades and guns, armed only with speech and pens.

religious fundamentalists. (At least not those of a specific willing-to-kill-blasphemers variety.)

We prefer to insult the people who insult these religious fundamentalists.

Because we're tolerant!
