Bangladesh: Islamic State murders doctor who “called to Christianity”

May 21, 2016 7:53 pm By Robert Spencer

Proselytizing for any other religion is forbidden in Islamic law. Not that this has anything to do with…

Sanaur Rahman

“ISIS claims responsibility for doctor’s murder in Bangladesh,” PTI, May 21, 2016:

The ISIS Saturday claimed responsibility for the killing of a homoeopathic doctor in western Bangladesh, as the Muslim-majority country reels under a series of brutal murders of secular activists and minorities by Islamists.

“Fighters from the Islamic State assassinated a doctor who called to Christianity in Kushtia, western Bangladesh,” the ISIS-affiliated Amaq news agency said in a brief Arabic message, according to SITE Intelligence Group.

58-year-old doctor Sanaur Rahman was riding home on his motorbike alongwith Saifuzzaman, assistant professor of Bangla literature at Islami University, when they were attacked by machete-wielding militants in Kushtia town Friday.

Rahman was hacked to death while Zaman was critically wounded in the attack. He was flown to Dhaka for treatment.

A senior Home Ministry official rejected the claim “in the name of ISIS”, saying “the home grown militants visibly are repeatedly trying to prove their links with international outfits like IS or al Qaeda”.

“Our investigations found no link of any international group to the (recent) incidents in Bangladesh”, additional home secretary Rahmatul Munim told reporters.

Kushtia police said both Rahman and his friend were fans of a mystical musical tradition known as Baul, which the Islamists consider as “un-Islamic”.

According to residents in the neighbourhood, Rahman was a popular doctor as he used to treat and offer medicine to poor people free of cost running a free Friday clinic.

“We are investigating possible militant links to the attack but we also kept in mind if it was outcome of any personal enmity,” a local police officer said.

Rahman was the latest victim of suspected Islamists who have killed several liberal and secular activists and religious minorities in Bangladesh in recent months….

    More Christianophobia, but our Western elites won’t use that word, because they aren’t Christian and don’t mind if Christians are exterminated. However, they are very worried about emotional traumatization of the ‘noble savages’, who may not be named or offended.

        The UK has tried to persuade these mulims to act like civilised people by sending ’em ‘foreign aid’ but clearly it hasn’t paid off – they remain brutal, blood-thirsty barbarians & not fitted to civilised society!

      Awe poor man.. RIP. Its sad how the more intelligent of the muslims see that islam is a barbaric cult and turn away from it. He committed no crim3 and save people.. they prove how islam is more and more evil with every person the slaughter.

    Al Azhar University has in the past endorsed the vigilante murders of apostates and blasphemers. If the state does not execute an apostate or blasphemer, they declared, SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT. In Sharia law, ANYONE may murder an apostate or blasphemer.

    The government of Bangldesh appears to have adopted a policy of looking the other way when Islamic vigilantism occurs.

    Vigilantes are killing ATHEISTS, APOSTATES, BLASPHEMERS, HINDUS, BUDDHISTS and CHRISTIANS in Bangladesh. The government is not defending freedom of speech.

    This is the same pattern in every country with a Muslim majority.

      Morty Projection

      Ironic that Mortimer would use in his first comment the term “noble savages’
      He is often truly guilty of doing just that thing himself.

      Unfortunately even Dr. Divinity is falling for morty’s bait.
      “they do not think the killings is murder”

      Muslims KNOW full well that their killings is murder.
      It is not lack of knowledge of Muslims but their shameless willful ignorance.

      Islam is not religion.
      Islam is nothing but a shameless excuse because —
      the whole life of Muhammad was a shameless excuse .

    NO VALID EVIDENCE OF ISIS & OTHER TERRORIST ACTIVITIES,99% OF ATTACK CLAIMED ON ISIS,AL QUEDHA,OTHER ORGANIZATION HAD NO VALID EVIDENCE ,HOW CAN A FAKE PHONE CALL OR A FAKE TWEETER MESSAGE CONSIDER AS VALID EVIDENCE ,ANY WAY ISLAM PROHIBITED KILLING NON MUSLIM :

    PROHIBIT KILLING NON MUSLIM WITH PEACE AGREEMENT:

    8: 72. Verily, those who believed, and emigrated and strove hard and fought with their property and their lives in the Cause of Allah as well as those who gave (them) asylum and help, – these are (all) allies to one another. And as to those who believed but did not emigrate (to you O Muhammad SAW), you owe no duty of protection to them until they emigrate, but if they seek your help in religion, it is your duty to help them except against a people with whom you have a treaty of mutual alliance, and Allah is the All-Seer of what you do.
    9: 4. Except those of the Mushrikûn with whom you have a treaty, and who have not subsequently failed you in aught, nor have supported anyone against you. So fulfill their treaty to them to the end of their term. Surely Allah loves Al- Mattaqûn
    4: 90. Except those who join a group, between you and whom there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with their breasts restraining from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. Had Allah willed, indeed He would have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they withdraw from you, and fight not against you, and offer you peace, then Allah has opened no way for you against them.
    91. You will find others that wish to have security from you and security from their people. Every time they are sent back to temptation, they yield thereto. If they withdraw not from you, nor offer you peace, nor restrain their hands, take (hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them. In their case, We have provided you with a clear warrant against them.
    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 83 :: Hadith 49
    Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr:
    The Prophet said, “Whoever killed a Mu’ahid (a person who is granted the pledge of protection by the Muslims) shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise though its fragrance can be smelt at a distance of forty years (of traveling).”
    Bukhari :: Book 4 :: Volume 53 :: Hadith 391
    Dawud :: Book 14 : Hadith 2639
    Narrated Jarir ibn Abdullah:
    The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) sent an expedition to Khath’am. Some people sought protection by having recourse to prostration, and were hastily killed. When the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) heard that, he ordered half the blood-wit to be paid for them, saying: I am not responsible for any Muslim who stays among polytheists. They asked: Why, Apostle of Allah? He said: Their fires should not be visible to one another.
    PUBLIC PEOPLE(MUSLIM/NON MUSLIM) BLOOD & PROPERTIES, WERE HONORS AND PROTECTED/SACRED LIKE MECCA:

    4: 148. Allah does not like that the evil should be uttered in public except by him who has been wronged. And Allah is Ever All Hearer, All Knower.
    17: 70. And indeed We have honoured the Children of Adam, and We have carried them on land and sea, and have provided them with At-Taiyibât (lawful good things), and have preferred them above many of those whom We have created with a marked preference.
    Bukhari :: Book 1 :: Volume 3 :: Hadith 67,105
    Narrated Abu Bakra:
    The Prophet said. No doubt your blood, property, the sub-narrator Muhammad thought that Abu Bakra had also mentioned and your honor (chastity), are sacred to one another as is the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours. It is incumbent on those who are present to inform those who are absent.” (Muhammad the Subnarrator used to say, “Allah’s Apostle told the truth.”) The Prophet repeated twice: “No doubt! Haven’t I conveyed Allah’s message to you.

      Mohammed/Allah, like a SNAKE, spoke with the FORK TONGUE. Muslims are completely brain washed,brain damaged,brain dead or simply brainless to understand the TRUTH about Mohammed-the FAKE prophet and his FAKE BOOK called QUR’AN. Islam is a serious mental disease. He was a compulsive LIAR.He lied about his night journey to the seventh heaven while he was having a steamy night with UM HANI. It is safer to trust a lethal poisonous SNAKE than a good MOHAMMEDAN.Period!!!

    Muslims will enforce the Sharia when governments won’t. Mostly all of these atrocities are just normal Muslims acting out in ways they’ve been instructed to act by Islam.

    It’s about demographics

    Wherever a single brainwashed muslim lurks murder, mayhem and hatred follow until the beheading ends.

    This is what happens anywhere there are muslims. Trump is wrong-we don’t need a temporary ban on muslim immigration, We need to listen to Geert and send them back to the islamic states they are from or offer them the same choice they want to offer us-convert from islam or die. We need to deislamize the entire world.
