Bangladesh: Muslims text death threats to two Christian bishops

Dec 28, 2015 2:11 pm By Robert Spencer

Bejoy D’Cruze and Paul Panen Kubi must have done something to offend the poor dears. Did they draw Muhammad? Did they in some other way provoke Muslims or poke them in the eye? Don’t they know that the proper response of Catholic bishops in the face of Muslim threats is self-censorship and voluntary subjugation?

Bejoy D'Cruze

“Fear at Christmas in Bangladesh as two bishops receive death threats,” by Sumon Corraya, Asia News, December 28, 2015 (thanks to C. Cantoni):

​

Dhaka (AsiaNews) – Islamic radicals have texted death threats ahead of Christmas to Mgr Bejoy D’Cruze, bishop of Shylet, and Mgr Paul Panen Kubi, bishop of the diocese of Mymenshing.

Six other members of the Bangladesh Christian Association (BCA), including its general secretary Nirmal Rozario, were the victims of similar acts of intimidation.

“These incidents are very unpleasant and go against the spirit of equal rights and freedom of thought,” Mr Rozario told AsiaNews.

Increasingly, the Christian community has been living in fear, the Catholic leader noted. For months, Islamic radicals have been sending death threats to some of its members.

Since October, 37 Christian leaders have been the subject of threats to their lives, the BCA has reported. Extremists are using mobile phones as a means of sending menacing messages and spreading fear.

Mgr Bejoy said that someone by the name of Zaman Mozumder, claiming to be the coordinator of IGMB, sent him a text message, saying, “Fulfil your last dream because your life is in [its] last stage. Very soon you are going to be killed by us”.

The same individual using the same telephone number texted Nirmal Rozario. One message read, “There will be arrangements for you during Christmas.” Another said, “Let us know whether we will arrange your funeral or allow your family to do so”.

“It is really very sad what is happening to me,” he told AsiaNews. “I work to serve others, but I get death threats from Islamic radicals. Since Christians are a minority, their life is very vulnerable.”

Six other BCA members received similar threats: Fr Boniface Subrata Tolentino of Sreemangal, Fr Ujjal Rozario of Dinajpur, Brother Binoy of Dhaka, Catholic newspaper Samabarta executive director Aldrick Biswas, and Rev Edward Jagadish of Uttara, a district in the capital.

In recent months, two Christian clergymen survived separate attacks. Three criminals, later arrested along with two accomplices, attacked Rev Luke Sarkar whilst he was at home, in Pabna District.

In late November, Fr Piero Parolari, a missionary with the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions (PIME), was seriously injured in an assault.

“Christians are very much afraid,” said Rev Aniruddha Das, general secretary of the National Council of Churches of Bangladesh.

However, “we must remember that we are children of this land and we cannot give in to threats. Most people are with us.”

You cannot give in to threats? How “Islamophobic”! Most Catholic bishops in the U.S. would rebuke the Rev. Aniruddha Das and admonish him that not to give in to threats presents a continuing danger to the Church.

    Islamic thugs. Muslim cockroaches.

    They are just doing what every Muslim “should do”. Emulating the murdering psychopath “prophet” Mohammed.

      Vigilantism is normative Islam. If you can’t defeat them fairly in debate, make a death threat or kill them to show Islam is better.

      The fallacy of the sword is Islam’s favorite defense, because it has no intellectual defense.

    Followers of this death cult are always ready to kill. Doesn’t matter where they comes from – from Saudia, Pakistan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Qatar, Yemen,etc, etc,……a long list, but they all get training of how to slit throats of infidels. It doesn’t take them even a nano second when it comes to killing, murdering, beheading… all those holy acts of this death cult. They have no conscience, no morality, no human noble traits as these qualities have been totally eliminated from their brain by continuous recting of the death/hate manual called Quran!

      The Koran is a troop motivator.

    I have amassed a total of 9 years sponsoring children in Bangladesh through a Christian aid organisation.
    Why do I bother?

    Maybe what these bishops and priests need to do is to let Pope Francis know about the matter so that he can start a dialogue with these poor muslims who are probably poor and out of work Maybe he could help find them a job and keep them occupied usefully. . However, I suppose if they were that poork they would own cell phones and be able to pay for text messages.

    Not surprising. Our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ said, “If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you.”

    ICE states

    Whenever one of or several of those terrorist slaves of Satan threaten one or several none terrorists, why don’t any of us have the fortitude to threaten them with retaliation! Our government especially should have the courage to do this. Then we should promptly carry out our retaliatory threats – without fail.

    God bless the terrorists… may He give them the grace to repent from their sins. May God give all mankind the grace to repent and to grant us all conversion from sin.
