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

Bangladesh: Al-Qaeda releases video of murder of gay rights activist

Apr 30, 2016 7:42 pm By Robert Spencer

Yet even as this is happening, woe to you — from the gay community — if you dare to point out Sharia persecution of gays. When AFDI ran ads highlighting the mistreatment of gays in Islamic law, the San Francisco City Council issued a resolution condemning not that mistreatment, but our ads. Gay advocates such as Theresa Sparks and Chris Stedman attacked us for daring to call attention to the institutionalized mistreatment of gays under Islamic law. Their gay advocacy doesn’t extend to standing up to Sharia oppression of gays, even though that oppression is far more virulent and violent than anything from “right-wing extremists” in the U.S. And you can’t blame them: given the Leftist/jihadist alliance, it’s clear that if they spoke out against Sharia mistreatment of gays, they would no longer be invited to the best parties, and might even be branded as “right-wing.” Their moral cowardice and duplicity, however, are obvious.

Xulhaz Mannan

“Bangladesh in denial, al-Qaeda releases new video of gay rights activist’s assassination,” by Shweta Desai, DNA India, April 30, 2016:

Even as the Bangladesh police dismiss the claims of al Qaeda-affiliated Ansar al Islam behind the twin murders in Dhaka, the militant group released a new video showing graphic images of gay rights activist Xulhaz Mannan and his friend Tanay Majumder, lying in pool of blood in the former’s apartment. The video comes three days after Ansar al Islam released a statement claiming responsibility for the murders of ‘pioneers of practicing and promoting homosexuality in Bangladesh.’

Released online on Ansar al Islam Bangladesh’s Twitter account on Friday, the video once again reiterates the killing to be the work of al Qaeda in Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). The video merges clips of international news media which extensively reported on the incident — Mannan was a USAID employee and US authorities including Secretary of State John Kerry and the ambassador of Bangladesh, Marcia Bernicat expressed outrage over his death — with graphic images of Mannan and Tanay’s bodies being dragged along a pool of blood in his apartment. The video indicates that the assailants had time to capture the ghastly images on film after the killings and flee in time.

The killing was carried out on Monday evening when a group of men posing as courier guys entered the building in Kalabagan area in Dhaka where Mannan resided. Security guard Parvez Mollah, first encountered the men who inquired about Mannan’s flat for delivering a packet. Around four men, clean shaven and carrying backpacks are believed to have entered the flat and attacked Mannan and Tanay with machetes. Another three men were guarding the building gate. They all left firing gun shots and attacking Parvez with knives.

Mohammad Iqbal, Officer in Charge, Kalabaghan police station where the case is registered, told dna, that the police reached the building on time and encountered the men as they were escaping. “They were getting out of the building and running. Some of them had pistols and were firing. We were very close to catching them but they escaped,” he said, adding that the assailants have been on the move since the killings but the Dhaka police are close to catching them

In Mannan’s house police found few documents left behind by the assailants including the list of targets the group is likely to attack. “It has no names, just the kind of targets,” Iqbal said. The document, ‘Who’s Next ?’ is being circulated by Ansar al Islam on social media listing out eight criteria — those who insult the Prophet, oppose Islamic Sharia, intentionally misrepresent Islam — in short ‘every apostate and enemies of Islam.’…

    Seems like Al-Qaeda in Bangladesh is competing with the islamic state for the seat of the caliphate – one group shows their devotion by killing atheists, the other show their devotion by killing gays…

    To point out the condemnable in Islam is to be condemned; another of its despicable tricks.

      The traitorous left is on the side of Islamism as they view Muslims as their allies against the hated Christian West. Make no mistake about it. the left is dedicated to destroying Christianity and Western Civilization and they will use Muslim jihadis as their weapons to destroy us.

        You’re right. I trust the LGBT crowd as allies about as far as I can throw the Washington Monument (in one piece).

    Is there a chance murderers get caught , have a trial and be jailed or this will continue without coonsequences?

    Just Following Orders from Allah

    ALL Muslims should bow their heads in shame.
    Muslim men should be forced to wear the hijab.

    Muslims who pretend to not be a part of this are like people who claim to join the KKK because they appreciate the hate groups stand on ‘affirmative action’
    This is not about deprogramming bad thoughts. All Muslims are a disgrace to simple human decency by their (choosing) to enable Islam.

    The government of Bangladesh is living in denial. Either they think if they pretend they don’t have a serious problem with Islamist terrorists, it will go away, or they are secretly allowing these groups to exist. There has been a growing momentum of attacks, often with machetes on religious minorities, atheists, gays and muslims with cultural interests in music. The signs are of a future the Taliban would be proud of.

    “We were very close to catching them but they escaped…” (wink, wink)

    “..the Dhaka police are close to catching them.” (wink, wink)

    Meanwhile, the Rainbow Brigade in this country are too busy changing bathroom laws and suing Christian business owners out of existence to give a rat’s tail about this.

        Ha! You’ll see their “tolerance” then!

    We release music videos, they release beheading. We are talking about people who have lost their Humanity already from a very early age they have been conditioned to be inhumane because that is the religion of Islam in its teachings violence is an integral part of the religion of Islam because it was an integral part of the false prophet Muhammad. The best we westerners can do is to understand this to realize that this is now coming into all countries and that we must be vigilant and smart and take the necessary steps to minimize and in the best-case scenario eradicate the threat that we are facing. The future is not lost , is only lost if we give up.

    • SD says

      May 1, 2016 at 1:10 pm

      To clarify Islam is an ideology, it is a cult, it is not a religion. To call this ideology a religion means to give it legitimacy as non-muslims we must never give an ideology legitimacy that wishes to wipe us out to do such a thing would be very foolish and in essence suicidal.

    After the Paris terrorist attacks I came to an interesting conclusion, we used to say that we are not going to those countries and with those countries we meant the Muslim countries for example Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan Etc but if things continue to be as they are and if things get worse then we will be adding Western destinations to the list of countries that we absolutely do not wish to visit interesting isn’t it.

    In behavioural terms, you can work out someone’s preferences from their actions. So we can conclude that there are certain gay ‘rights’ activists who value wedding cakes and pizza more than they value life. The Islamic groups say ‘we love death more than you love life’; perhaps they should add ‘we love death more than gay rights activists value cake’.

    Not many seem to care about gay men being killed.

    The Christians in Uganda, Nigeria and other places ain’t doin’ so good on this issue either.

    With all due respect – I cannot agree with the assertion that the “general” gay community are all leftists that condone islam. Maybe this is largely so in the US, but certainly NOT so in Europe.
    I guess this might have something to do with the fact that the (relative) muslim population is much bigger in European countries. Fact is, MANY gay people in Europe have experienced first-hand (often times in the literal sense as they have been beaten severely) what having a large muslim population in their countries is doing to their freedom, and many if not most gays have become staunch “right-wing” voters.
    The US gays simply have not had much contact with real-life muslims I suspect. Maybe they should talk to the European gays some time.

      Yes, re many European gays.

      Pym Fortuyn, the first Dutch politician who publicly stepped up to oppose Islam – and got assassinated for it, by a crazed Islamophile who wanted to protect the poor, poor little persecuted Muswims – was gay.

      Indeed. The book “While Europe Slept” was written by a gay American living in Europe – and he isn’t as amicable to muslims or ignorant of what they have in store for him as his peers in the US.
