#MyJihad in Bangladesh: Muslims repeatedly stab popular atheist blogger

These Islamic supremacist thugs could have tried to refute his assertions, or attempt to best him in debate. But this was easier for them, and more in line with their general inclinations. "Popular Atheist Blogger Stabbed Repeatedly by Suspected Islamist Fundamentalists in Bangladesh," by Stoyan Zaimov for the Christian Post, January 17 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):

An atheist blogger in Bangladesh has been stabbed repeatedly by three suspected Islamist fundamentalists and is currently in critical condition in a local hospital.

Asif Mohiuddin, 29, was attacked earlier this week as he was leaving work at night in Dhaka, when a group of unidentified men jumped him and stabbed him repeatedly. Mohiuddin is one of the nation's most well-known atheists, and runs a Bengali blog titled "Almighty only in name, but impotent in reality," which is one of Bangladesh's most visited websites.

"We operated on him for more than three hours. He is improving but still not out of danger. He has six deep cuts including two grave ones in the shoulder," Haridas Saha, a surgeon at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, told AFP News agency.

The news has been met with widespread condemnation especially among secularists, who are demanding that the Muslim-dominated country, where Islam is a state religion, do more to protect the human rights of its citizens. Although the perpetrators have not yet been found, many suspect that Mohiuddin's atheist posts and his commentaries on free speech and human right issues are most likely the reason for the attack.

"The nature of the cuts proved that the attackers wanted to murder him," Saha added, revealing that friends of Mohiuddin who were with him at the time of the attack said that Islamic "fundamentalists" were behind the incident....

The Committee to Protect Journalist (CPJ) reported that this is not the first time the Bengali blogger has been targeted. In Oct. 2011, Mohiuddin was arrested and reportedly abused by police who accused him of inciting a student protest through his blog. The activist was allegedly blindfolded, starved, and kept awake as a form of torture, while authorities tried to have him sign a statement pledging never to use social media again.

"We condemn this attack on Asif Mohiuddin and call on authorities to fully investigate and ensure the perpetrators brought to justice," said CPJ Deputy Director Robert Mahoney.

Bangladesh has often faced condemnation for human right abuses and suppression of free speech. In another infamous case, Humayun Azad, a poet, novelist and literature professor who wrote a number of satirical novels against religious fundamentalism, was attacked by Islamic militants in 2004, and later died in Germany.

who are demanding that the Muslim-dominated country, where Islam is a state religion, do more to protect the human rights of its citizens.

They were doing their best...That's as good as it gets, and they will never catch the jihadi's who did it, and if they do, all they will get is a slap on the wrist...or a pat on the back, which ever comes first...

"Almighty only in name, but impotent in reality,"

Any similarities?

Islamic texts say that Muhammad was given the sexual potency of thirty or forty men. But in reality, he was sexually impotent.

A Bangladeshi woman ran away from my dog in the park the other evening, and went to sit in her car. I made a comment to her husband, who then advised me Muslims don't like dogs, to which I replied that I knew. And then we started talking, and he embarked on a dawa session, to which I responded fairly vigorously. The gist of his talk was that I should forget about the daily news, forget Islamic history, forget the taliban (etc) who are "not Muslims", and even, he seemed to be saying, forget the Koran, the Hadith, Mohammed and Allah themselves: just believe that Bangladeshi man himself, who excused Mohammed's behaviour (he was "persecuted". Oh well then, why not massacre hundreds?) and insisted Islam is peaceful, it really, really is.
When it was time to go home, I said pleasantly that we can at least agree to shake hands on our differences, and put my hand out. I could see his discomfiture. Should he shake my doggy, kuffar hand? Well, after all his words about how utterly mild and tolerant Islam was, it would not look quite right to refuse a handshake...so after a pause he did, and went to join his wife in the car.
Poor man! He would have washed and washed his hands at home and have had to clean the steering wheel and the car door handle and the clutch and oh, what else? Then maybe an extra prayer would have been in order.
I wondered if Allah would have been pleased with him for doggedly (so to speak) doing the dawa to a filthy kuffar, or angry with him for staying safe at home and pretending Islam is sweet instead of fighting the jihad?

@salah

You are correct, Mohammed was indeed impotent. I've read this before.
Only a devious fantasist like Mohammed would claim to be given the potency of a thirty or forty men. Wishful thinking on his part!

@PJG

A dilemma there for your Muslim acquaintances. It's a great shame that you weren't also munching on a bacon sandwich at the time. That would have made him squirm even more.
Kudos to you for not falling for his dawa, but when he told you to forget the Koran and the Hadiths, then reminded you that Islam was peaceful, you should have kindly reminded him that he was committing blasphemy by rejecting the words of the Koran.
Muslims are liars and imbeciles by nature, you should have trapped him by his own words!

Yes, I was cross with myself later for not putting it to him exactly as you said. Next time...and there WILL be a next time for this kind of conversation, as my area is increasingly popular with Mohammedans, and it's extraordinary how often when I throw the ball to my dog at the park, it lands right at the feet of a Muslim. Don't know how that happens...I'm always vigilant when it comes to not offending the easily offended. My dog is black, fast and very toothy, too...should be on a leash at all times, so I was told by an angry Somalian who had waddled out from her home to take the air.

THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!

"Poor man! He would have washed and washed his hands at home.."

Muslims have the obligation to stay clean, that's why he needs to wash his hands with PURE water!

The people asked the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him): Can we perform ablution out of the well of Buda'ah, which is a well into which menstrual clothes, dead dogs and stinking things were thrown? He replied: Water is pure and is not defiled by anything. (Dawud 1.66)

The man wouln't believe me when I said I knew a Muslim in Khartoum who kept a dog as a pet. (The man and his wife couldn't have kids, and they got a dog). No, it was not possible. But it was true! And there is a Muslim here whose dogs I look after when he goes away
I am looking forward to seeing this couple again. The wife was friendly, the man a buffoon. I wouldn't mind causing a disturbance in the home...
