Bangladesh: Islamic supremacists demand death for bloggers for "defaming" Islam and Muhammad

The Daily Star calls these Islamic supremacist thugs "bigots," which they certainly are. The usage was refreshing: usually it is those who are resisting this thuggery and real bigotry that are named "bigots" in the Western mainstream media. Even worse, Leftist foes of free speech and fans of the boot on the face such as Eric Posner, Sarah Chayes and Nathan Lean get ample space in the mainstream media to call for restrictions on the freedom of speech of the Western counterparts of these threatened Bangladeshi bloggers.

"Bigots demand death for top bloggers," from the Daily Star, February 20 (thanks to Anne Crockett):

A few hundred people staged a rally in Hathazari upazila headquarters in Chittagong Tuesday afternoon demanding death penalty for top bloggers of the ongoing Shahbagh movement.

The bigots further threatened of tougher movement if the bloggers were not punished as they demanded.

“They are active online for several years defaming Islam and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) through their writings,” Maulana Jahangir Alam, upazila unit general secretary of Bangladesh Khelafat Andolon, told The Daily Star.

Hefazate-e-Islam, meanwhile, announced it would hold a mass rally at Hathazari Parbati High School on February 25 to press home the same demand.

During Tuesday's demonstration, the speakers specifically demanded deaths for Omi Rahman Pial, Ibrahim Khalil, Arif Jebtik and Asif Mohiuddin who are at the forefront of the Shahbagh movement that continued for the 15th straight day on Tuesday in demand of capital punishment to the war criminals.

Jointly organised by Khelafat Andolon and Islami Oikkya Jote, the crowd of around 500 people, mostly from a local Darul Ulum Moinul Islam Madrasa, gathered at Dakbanglo intersection around 3:00pm.

Speakers at the rally termed the bloggers as ‘atheists’ and demanded their capital punishment, our Chittagong correspondent reported quoting Nurul Hakim, a sub-inspector at Hathazari Police Station.

Asked whether the organisation had taken permission for the rally, Liakat Ali, officer-in-charge of the police station, told The Daily Star that prior permission is not required for all types of programmes.

“We are aware about the rally,” he said.

According to a post on a Shahbagh movement Facebook page, the Hathazari agitators distributed leaflets carrying the photos of some frontline bloggers of the Shahbagh movement terming them as atheists.

"Banners hung there say the Shahbagh movement has been organised to insult Islam," the post reads.

Are comments working?

CAIR is trying to do the same thing in the United States—without being quite as explicit about the death penalty, of course:

"Director of Hamas-linked CAIR's Missouri chapter wants Sharia punishments for those who publish 'anti Islamic and anti Muslim content on the internet'"

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/02/director-of-hamas-linked-cairs-missouri-wants-sharia-punishments-for-those-who-publish-anti-islamic.html

This would be funny, if it were about any other subject. It is not possible to 'defame' or insult either the vile scam known as islam, or its (if he existed) completely revolting founder and mockery of a prophet. You can describe it accurately as vile and disgusting, or you can lie about it and claim it is actually tolerable or decent and benneficial.

Everyone is a bigot about something...You can't be a human without some of it, it comes naturally with the territory...Sometimes bigotry is appropriate, like when I insult the 'Prophet', or even better Allah...Now that's bigotry of a high order, and I wouldn't have it any other way...But I don't kill anyone over my bigotry, nor make any threats, so I handle my bigotry much better than Mahoundians who don't handle their's well at all...

Speakers at the rally termed the bloggers as ‘atheists’ and demanded their capital punishment...

I am an atheist and I demand Muslims' capital punishment.

If the state of Utah's death penalty statute allowed Gary Gilmore to choose between death by hanging or shooting, could he have chosen a combination of the two? Being shot (shot at, anyway) while free-falling through the trapdoor with a noose could be quite a Pay-Per-View event, as well as the basis for a great scratch-off game.
