The world yawns at this thuggery and bloodlust. Atheist writer Avijit Roy was murdered in Bnagladesh recently; the international media barely took notice. This second and similar murder will get even less notice. And it’s understandable — it isn’t as if “Islamophobia” were being committed. That would be news; but Muslims murder another writer who insulted Islam? That’s not news: the mainstream media wouldn’t want to insult Islam by covering such a thing.
“‘Oyasiqur killed for anti-Islam writings,'” by Mohammad Jamil Khan, Dhaka Tribune, March 30, 2015:
Two madrasa students have hacked blogger Oyasiqur Rahman to death for his writing against Islam.
The killers are Zikrullah, 22, a student of Hathajari Madrasa in Chittagong and Ariful Islam, 22, student of Darul Ulum Madrasa, Mirpur 1 in Dhaka, said Biplop Kumar Sarker, deputy commissioner of Tejgaon Divison.
Another killer Abu Taher managed to flee from the scene. No detail was found regarding him, the police official added.
Zikrullah, son of Mainuddin, hailed from Raipura of Narsingdi and Ariful Islam, son of Tazul Islam, came from Barkawlia of Comilla.
“They killed Oyasiqur for his writings against Islam,” the detained killers confessed to the police during primary interrogation.
One mastermind Masum is behind the killing, they also confessed, the police official said.
On Sunday night, mastermind Masum, two madrasa students Zikrullah and Ariful Islam, and Abu Taher made plan, in a meeting at Hatirjheel in Dhaka, to kill Oyasiqur, said Biplop.
Masum gave Zikrullah three machetes on Sunday night to complete the mission….

Robert, how have you not turned into a bitter jaded paranoid psycho who moves into the woods and befriends a pack of deer because humanity is too depressing and outrageous to deal with anymore? You must have the fortitude of a god or healthy whiskey consumption rate to make this your life. I commend you.
I myself am too empathetic and emotional and have to take long breaks of complete real world black out and just watch a season of Dr. Pol and nothing else. I am too weak for this level of stupidity. The human brain was never meant to deal stupidity on a global scale, only local/family stupid. Maybe this is what has paralyzed the West, our brains simply can’t handle the stupidity overload we’ve put upon ourselves.

I often wonder this about both Robert and Tommy Robinson. I’d imagine they have a constitution you and I don’t as well as more bravery and endurance (I feel like my 4-year old self again first observing there were human beings faster than I). I get particularly upset when I see ingrates/ignoramuses, generally a pile of them, being disrespectful to either. Another thing which amazes me about them is their ability to respond to monstrous stupidity, rudeness, ad hominem attacks, racism, false accusations, mischaracterizations, did I mention stupidity?, and 1,000 other things, in an intelligent, non-emotional manner.
We owe them.

Does not the level of Islam’s argument, ie murder, indicate that Avijit Roy must have a point?
There is no reasonable counter argument for Avijit’s point of view in the Holy Koran?
I think it is commonly the case that if violence is used to counter a point of view then that point of view must have hit a home truth.
There is no reasonable argument that shifts the truth that Islam is hell bent on achieving complete wipe out of non-muslims.
A muslim that says otherwise is jihadistically lying.
Georg says
The hysteria Muslim culture seems to react with so often in response to criticism is very damning and will/has prove/ed a poignant aspect of its legacy. Islamic behavior constantly proves the necessity and veracity of our criticisms (generally labeled “Islamophobia”).

Only the man who has run out of arguments resort to fighting. Watch it

For goodness sakes hurry up and take our guns so we can all suffer the agony of being HACKED to death by the death cult zombies! Personally I would rather be shot! Minions of satan all.
Truth says
The Muslim prophet Mohammad was an evil child molester ( he married a 6 year old little girl) and an evil supporter of slavery. Nobody should follow Mohammad anywhere.

i have lost so many ‘friends’ since ‘coming out’ against Islam I sometimes think I,d get more society were I to go and live among the kangaroos. And yes I do find the hypocrisy of the Western media breathtaking when it comes to Islam. Funny, So many leftists are blindsided but I still see myself as a leftist who opposes tyranny when he sees it. I protest at the building of mosques because I hate racism, and we all know Islam is the most racist (religioucist) ideology in history, yet I am labelled a racist. Thank God for people like Robert Spencer, Hirsi Ali, Brigitte, Pamela and Geert, and all the others.
