Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Bangladesh: Muslim group murders publisher of Islamocritical writer they murdered previously

Oct 31, 2015 11:04 am By Robert Spencer

“I saw him lying upside down and in a massive pool of blood. They slaughtered his neck. He is dead.”

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)

These kinds of murders will continue unless world authorities stand up and make a robust defense, in word and action, of the freedom of speech. Instead, they are surrendering to violent intimidation. And in the West, ostracism and mainstream media vilification of critics of Islam stands in, for now, for the knife’s blade.

Faisal Arefin Dipon

“Bangladeshi secular publisher hacked to death,” BBC, October 31, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann):

A Bangladeshi publisher of secular books has been hacked to death in the capital Dhaka in the second attack of its kind on Saturday, police say.

Faisal Arefin Dipon, 43, was killed at his office in the city centre, hours after another publisher and two secular writers were injured in an attack.

They are the latest victims in a series of deadly attacks on secularists since blogger Avijit Roy was hacked to death by suspected Islamists in February.

Both publishers published Mr Roy.

Mr Dipon was found dead at the Jagriti Prokashoni publishing house, in his third-floor office.

“I saw him lying upside down and in a massive pool of blood. They slaughtered his neck. He is dead,” his father, the writer Abul Kashem Fazlul Haq, said, quoted by AFP.

Earlier on Saturday, armed men burst into the offices of publisher Ahmedur Rashid Tutul.

They stabbed Mr Tutul and two writers who were with him, locked them in an office and fled the scene, police said….

Mr Roy, a US citizen of Bangladeshi origin and critic of radical Islamism, was murdered in February. His wife and fellow blogger Bonya Ahmed was badly injured in the attack.

Three other bloggers have since been killed.

    Saudi war game is so clear and easy to understand. They recruit local mullahs to convert your poor and fools to islam to destroy your nation as their foot soldiers using them ..Wake up if you want to save your nation.

    Close all madrasas and masjid for the year and se the change in no time.

      Closing the madrassas would contribute dramatically, but we the doctrines of Islam, jihad and misogyny would continue as long as we do not actively deprogram Muslims.

    This is a perfect example of how Islam spreads fear.

    Unknown religious thugs kill someone in a position of prominence and every one else shuts up.

    The Islamic cult is alive and well because of “religious thugs” like these. They create the fear that shuts up everyone.

      Bob Smith wrote: “Thugs”

      Yes, the ‘thugs’ in Islam are vigilantes authorized by Mohammed. They call themselves ‘hisbah’ or ‘jihadists’ depending on their level of violence. Ultimately, all Muslims have the duty to support the men of violence. Those who don’t support them are ‘hypocrites’ who should be executed.

    It’s amazing how hardly anybody cares about the slaughters and killings of Free Spirits by the muslims all over the World!. Each day so many people are butchered by these monsters who do not believe in anything but the devil

    Another of the trillion instances where Islam is so misapplied.

    • mortimer says

      Oct 31, 2015 at 10:52 pm

      Disagree about the ‘misapplied’. Vigilantism was authorized by Mohammed himself, so it is CORRECTLY applied to terrorize.

        Haha, I think Georg is just being sarcastic. If there are a “trillion” instances, it certainly isn’t misapplication.

        • Georg says

          Nov 1, 2015 at 12:43 pm

          Yes, it was sarcasm meant to anticipate the trillionth time we’ll have to hear some sort of equivocation about how this really is not Islam at all but some doctrinal confusion and unfortunate aberration shockingly conflated with the ROP, perpetrated by another confoundingly mistaken pack of lone wolves.

    Mr Roy, a US citizen of Bangladeshi origin and critic of radical Islamism, was murdered in February.

    What did Obama say about the brutal killing of a US citizen abroad? Wait, let me guess: “sweep that under the Resolute desk and find me a heartwarming story about a muslim being picked on by rednecks”.

      Your comment brings to mind how much more outraged liberals were about the droning, if I may, of Anwar al Awlaki (I’m not looking up how to spell that %*^!bird’s name) than with the genocidal act committed against this man simply pursuing a more pleasant world.

      You know– a bit like the glaring mismatch between their outrage on behalf of GITMO detainees as compared with their concern for those leaping from the 103rd floor on 9/11; they’re so selective in their concerns… hmm.

    Robert Spencer is right. Western journalists have to realize that freedom of expression is very personal to them!

    Without it, they’ll all be hunted down and murdered by Muslim vigilantes one by one.

    I saw these bloggers on a BBC documentary about the list recently. I tried not to think of what would happen to them, but sure enough it has. Of all the people we could have taken into our country, surely Messrs Dipon, Tutul and Roy plus their families should have been made welcome. Instead, we shelter known jihadists – most recently OBL’s chief recruitment officer Shaker Aamer.
