Save atheists! Islamists are slaughtering them in Bangladesh!

[Prometheus]

Four people were killed and more than 200 injured in Bangladesh yesterday as hundreds of Islamists clashed with police in Dhaka and other major cities demanding execution of "atheist bloggers" they accused of blasphemy.

Islamists hate atheists. Their banner says, ' We demand the death penalty for atheist bloggers because they use obscene language to criticize Allah, Muhammad and the Quran.' The banner carries the pictures of atheist bloggers. Asif Mohiuddin is among them. Asif was brutally stabbed by the Islamists a month ago.

His blog is known for its criticism of religions in one of the most conservative parts of the world. Even though Asif is a popular blogger, it is not easy for him to continue publishing his blogs. Islamic newspapers wrote against Asif Mohiuddin and his anti Islamic writings.

Cops asked him to stop writing.
Index for censorship is concerned about Asif's freedom of expression.

Rajib Haider, another atheist blogger was slaughtered just a few days ago, for saying state and religion should be separated, education system should be completely secular, and politics must not be based on religion.

A few years ago Humayun Azad , an atheist writer, became the victim of a vicious assassination attempt by the Islamists.

Because of the recent barbaric killing of atheists in Bangladesh, Dhormockery, an excellent blog on atheism, created by courageous Bengali atheists is suspended.

Instead of saying 'they are atheists and they have the right to express their opinions against religion, no one has the right to kill them like no one has the right to kill religous people for being religious', the liberal and secular people who have been fighting Islamic fundamentalists in Bangladesh, saying, ' Jamaat-e-Islami goons are trying to prove they are atheists, but they are not atheists, they are good people (as if atheists are not good people!). We want justice for the murder of bloggers'. It is very alarming that the word atheist is considered as an obscene word in Bangladesh and liberal people do not try to do anything for the freedom of expression of atheists. If not now, then when?

I hope Dhormockery will start again soon. I hope Asif and other atheist bloggers will not be threatened anymore. And after the banning of Jamaat-e-Islami, an Islamic terrorist organization, the Islamic killers and abusers will go back to their caves where they really belong.
I am probably insulting the ancient cave people. They were obviously much better than today's Islamists!

There needs to be Soviet-style forced atheism in these backwards shitholes. Quash religion with an iron fist. Don't just cut off the outgrowth; pull out the whole root.

 

[sydsnyper]

Do you think the soviet style purges were any humane??? And what did they achieve anyways, a good deal of soviet land is muslim anyways.

If you have to pull the plug, pull it off any hardline or violent movements. Simply out, treat violence with violence...inculcate education where non-violence is heavily implied. Then maybe, in a generation or so, we may see tremendous changes.

So Pakistan and Bangladesh both are turning into the fundamentalist Islamic states ! I wonder what is preventing India from turning into the same ? Thank God we are not like them.

The Soviets did wonders for Central Asia. In 1920, a woman in Uzbekistan was stoned to death for singing in public without a veil. By 1980, Central Asian women were wearing bikinis, getting college degrees, and working outside the home. Change happened.

You can't rationalize with religious fundamentalists. The only way to deal with religious fundamentalism is to kill/imprison/capture the leaders, and re-educate the masses in a completely secular setting. Shoot the mullah, close down the madrassah, and bring every mosque (as well as the business of printing Qurans) under state control. It worked for Central Asia, and it will work for the rest of the Islamic world.

Then the west will cry human rights and arm the radicals and our resident idiots will bash "sikular" left

And what good did that for them, the moment these freed women opened their mouths to speak their mind..... off they were sent to gulags....

You cannot compare one form of radicalism with another. There is a good reason the soviet collapsed (apart from the 'American' reason of course). One way out is what Emperor Ashoka did, cull violence with violence, inculcate non-violence though religious beliefs and education \ maybe then you have a chance of shutting down all these fundamentalists.

China should be your model, not Soviet communism.

Could you please elaborate ? How they are different from Soviets in regards to neutralising radical thoughts of the religion ?

China does not disallow religion, however it has full control of it in their country. They actually have a list of state approved religions that state recognizes. No religion can be guided by an outside authority though.

Saar, China does not disallow religion. Recently, the state has been actively promoting Christianity. Around 15% Chinese follow Buddhism too.
