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

Bangladesh: Muslims murder wife of anti-terror cop and Christian grocer

Jun 5, 2016 11:43 am By Robert Spencer

“Babul Aktar is an efficient police officer and played a key role in apprehending Islamists. They might have killed his wife because they failed to get him.” Will the Islamophobia never end?

Son of Mahmuda Aktar

“Wife of Bangladeshi Anti-Terrorism Policeman Stabbed, Shot Dead,” Reuters, June 5, 2016:

DHAKA — The wife of a senior Bangladeshi police official known for battling Islamist militants was stabbed and shot to death on Sunday, and machete-wielding assailants killed a Christian grocer in a separate incident.

Both attacks appeared to be the work of Islamist militants who have killed at least 30 people, including religious minorities, liberal bloggers and academics, since February last year, police said.

Three assailants riding a motorcycle stabbed and then shot Mahmuda Aktar, 33, while she was on her way to put her son onto a school bus near her home in the southeastern port city of Chittagong, police said.

“She was stabbed first. Then they shot her in the head three times,” Humayan Kabir, deputy police commissioner of Chittagong, told Reuters.

Her husband, police superintendent Babul Aktar, has played an important role in cracking down on militants in the region.

“Babul Aktar is an efficient police officer and played a key role in apprehending Islamists. They might have killed his wife because they failed to get him,” Interior Minister Asaduzzaman Khan told reporters.

Aktar, who was recently posted to police headquarters in the capital, Dhaka, busted several hideouts of the banned group Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen. His team also arrested one of the group’s leaders, who was later killed in a grenade blast during a police raid in October.

The government has launched a crackdown on militant groups who want to impose strict Islamic law on Bangladesh, whose population of 160 million are mostly moderate Muslims.

In Sunday’s other killing, Sunil Gomes, a 60-year-old shopkeeper, was hacked to death in his shop in the northern district of Natore, local police official Manirul Islam said.

Islamic State claimed responsibility for killing Gomes, according to the U.S.-based monitoring service SITE…

    Sorry in advance for a critical post here, but what part of “get security for your entire family” do freedom fighters against jihad not understand. If you’re going to fight against the unholy ko ‘ran and jihad, get some security.

      What!
      “get some security”
      You are blaming the victim.

      Ramadan is a Muslim pig bath of Islamic vanity.

        Agree Jay. More apparently imagines that ‘over there’ is like ‘over here’. You know: We’ve got a police force which takes care of everybody, w/o first asking their religion.

        ‘Over there’ tho’: Not so much. I mean to ‘ask for security’ gets you a fatwa, since you’re speaking against a fellow muslim.

        But hey: This is the same guy who said that Catholics weren’t Christian. So of course it’s the widower’s fault.

          Thanks for that info.
          When I look at the photo and read the write up I must ask myself what kind of person would respond immediately with such a callous statement as (More Ham Ed ). Certainly not one whose priority is anti-jihad. I had forgotten his divisive comment claiming Catholics weren’t Christian.
          What is M. H. E. ‘s real purpose, I wonder?

          Of course Catholism isn’t Christian, its one of the biggest deceptions Satan has ever invented. Islam and the religion of evilution being the other 2 which completes Satan’s apeing of or copying of God. None of the Catholic doctrines are mentioned in the Bible, show where “Maryology” is taught, papal infalability, etc. Satan invented Catholism by raising up Constantine in the 4th century to confuse and blur the way to the cross. When did the Lord Christ ever sleep in a palace and eat sumtuously on the finest?? I hate when Christians get blamed for the Crusades, when it was Catholics through Pope Urban 2 in 1085 AD that raised an army to protect the pigraming Catholics to Jerusalem as they were being attacked and slaughtered by Islamic Turks. To be fair to the Catholics though, I don’t blame them. Islame is pure evil and violence. Inspite of what the idiots Obama, Tudeau. Wynne, Clinton etc say. How come no one ever says “Christianophobic to the Muslims. How come they’re allowed to be intolorent and we all have to suck it up. If I hear “Islamaphobic” again I’ll scream.

          KLM, this is not “Catholicism Watch”. Catholics are not a threat to non-Catholics. You do know that Robert Spencer is a devout Catholic, do you not?

      Ed,

      I was thinking the same thing. My goodness, when dealing with such savagery, one must put one’s family in hiding for their own protection. Maybe they just don’t have the resources for that?…

      The good thing is Bangladesh has made these vicious groups illegal, and is trying to combat them.

      This poor, poor man. He has paid such a terrible price for his courage. May he be surrounded by love to help him through.

      • gravenimage says

        Jun 8, 2016 at 1:33 am

        Not really. Bangladesh–like Pakistan and most other Muslim countries–only objects to violent Jihad when it presents a threat to the state.

    I just saw a BBC TV report, where the announcer barely mentioned a Christian stabbed to death and then went on for several minutes about the dead Muslim. What happened to that poor woman and what her son witnessed are truly horrible, but couldn’t the Beeb give the Christian equal time? Or are we talking Britistan, with or without Brexit?

    • Charli Main says

      The BBC are at the forefront of the ” Muslim hugging brigade”. Muslims are never criticised and all Muslim crimes and atrocities are always attributed to ” Asians”.
      Their reporters delight in showing footage of all those ” poor, suffering, traumatised ” refugees fleeing nasty Christian persecution in Syria et al. ” Bleeding heart ” close ups kids holding teddy bears are their speciality.

      • Phobic-ist says

        Jun 5, 2016 at 1:49 pm

        The BBC are the very epitome of the ‘enemedia’ and I truly loathe them.

    ” Will the Islamophobia never end?”
    I think that the use of sarcasm on this site should be reduced significantly. Sarcasm does provide some humor to many readers; but, some people will take the sarcasm seriously and then get horribly confused. Sarcasm also creates a distraction from the main issue – and that main issue is frequently complicated enough to requires your full concentration.

    • LR says

      Jun 5, 2016 at 2:45 pm

      Ted,

      I suppose it’s all about one’s taste of humour. Personally, I love sarcasm, and I at least get a bit of a laugh when reading of these morbid happenings.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 8, 2016 at 1:36 am

      I disagree. One of the things Islam hates is humor.

      There are several Anti-Jihadists known for their wry sense of humor–Robert Spencer, Mark Steyn, and David Wood come to mind.

      Of course, it is a matter of taste–and hardly a requirement for opposing Jihad.

    Nobody is safe from these islamic animals. They have no moral compunction, they are insane for muhammad and allah. And when we let them in they bring this madness with them, not as some future threat but as a real problem of today. But I’m not supposed to care that the faith that provokes these crimes is moving in down the street, hello muslims. I’m supposed to just turn a blind eye to the jihad teachings and infidel hatred that permeates their faith and culture. Seriously, what is happening to the world? The kneeling left thinks they are being fair by tolerating islam. They aren’t, any more than German citizens were fair when they tolerated Hitler’s fascist hatred of the Jews. Honestly, I see no difference.

        Jerry, have you ever said it out loud what you’re saying. I SAY THAT YOU ARE AN IDIOT. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A NOT BAD MUSLIM. YOU SHOULD READ MORE ABOUT ISLAM FROM ITS CRAP BOOK THE KORAN. Maybe than you’re understand more what is behind his message

    Wife of Bangladeshi Anti-Terrorism Policeman Stabbed, Shot Dead

    I bet he has three more…

    • Kathy Brown, Esq. says

      Jun 6, 2016 at 12:15 am

      See: That’s part of the rage we have against muslims. Because you just can’t KNOW.

      I mean Ange: You’re probably right. But then again, maybe he really IS a bereaved widower. And that’s what’s so horrific about islam, besides of course, their regular 24/7 carnage…

      We Americans-I should say Westerners-would already detest islam just because of the latter. But on top of it all-they actually have the gall to lie, and lie, and lie. And they have the further gall to demand we BELIEVE their lies.

      Or at least, dummy up. And pretend to.

      Now I teach the 1st Amendment. And when I do, I point out that the greatest reason it was promulgated by the Founders, and made the 1st (not the 2d, or 5th, etc.) is NOT because of lofty ideas of ‘freedom’ or ‘liberty’. But it was because that ensures the peace of a society. I mean: If you’re free to protest, you’re much less likely to pick up a gun.

      But the muslims don’t only want to kill and main and rape and torture all of us. They want more. They want a permanent place inside our heads and hearts. They want to dominate there, too. And Americans-above all other people, due to our founding and our 1st-are the LAST people who’re going to cave to that.

      We also detest them with such fury because they have invaded our culture and our holy faith, and made us actually HAVE to question things like: A [purported] grieving widower.

      The violence they do to us is done on every single level, and it is done-by design-profoundly.

    Graven: Hahahahahahahaha! ‘This is not Catholicism Watch’? I love it-

    Thank you for the rationality injection you provided. Lord have mercy.

    Now do you have any idea what ‘pigraming’ is? And who knew that the Crusades were something to be ‘blamed for’? Silly me: I always thought the Crusades were a feather in the cap of the West, certainly of the Church…(!?).

    Still: I’m counting my blessings here. This lunatic says, ‘To be fair to the Catholics tho’ I don’t blame them.’ Whew! Am I relieved!
