Prime Minister Hasina said: “Anyone who believes in religion cannot do such act. They do not have any religion, their only religion is terrorism.”…
Yet the jihadis “did not hit people who could recite verses from the Quran. The others were tortured. The gunmen asked everyone inside to recite from the Quran. Those who recited were spared. The gunmen even gave them meals last night.”
Could it be possible that they were believers in a religion that commands its followers to kill unbelievers wherever they are found (cf. Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, and 9:5)?
The Islamic disinformationists — Qasim Rashid, Hussam Ayloush, etc. — are out in force today, claiming that this wasn’t a jihad attack because Bangladesh is a Muslim country. They haven’t addressed the fact that the captors didn’t torture hostages who could recite the Qur’an. Nor have they addressed the fact that since Islam has a death penalty for heresy and apostasy, many Muslims kill other Muslims whom they deem to be insufficiently Muslim.
An update on this story. “20 Hostages Killed, 13 Saved in Bangladesh Jihad Attack,” Associated Press, July 2, 2016:
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Bangladeshi forces stormed an upscale Dhaka restaurant to end a hostage-taking by heavily armed militants early Saturday, killing six of the attackers and rescuing 13 captives including foreigners. The military said 20 hostages were killed during the 10-hour standoff, and a survivor’s father said the attackers spared people who could recite verses from the Quran.
The attack marks an escalation in militant violence that has hit the traditionally moderate Muslim-majority nation with increasing frequency in recent months. Previous attacks involved machete-wielding men singling out individual activists, foreigners and religious minorities.
About 35 people were taken hostage Friday night when gunmen stormed the popular Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka’s Gulshan area, a diplomatic zone, during the Ramadan holy month. Two police officers were killed at the start of the attack.
Paramilitary troops who mounted the rescue operations in the morning killed six attackers and recovered explosive devices and sharp weapons from the scene, Brig. Gen. Nayeem Ashfaq Chowdhury said. He did not identify the hostages.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina condemned the attack, which was claimed by the Islamic State group, and she said security officials arrested one of the militants.
“Because of the effort of the joint force, the terrorists could not flee,” Hasina said in a nationally televised speech, vowing to fight militant attacks in the country and urged people to come forward.
“Anyone who believes in religion cannot do such act,” Hasina said. “They do not have any religion, their only religion is terrorism.”…
Karim said his son told him that the attackers “did not hit people who could recite verses from the Quran. The others were tortured,” he said.
“The gunmen asked everyone inside to recite from the Quran. Those who recited were spared. The gunmen even gave them meals last night,” Karim said….

Adrian says
and i suspect if u had recited the wrong verses like 5:33, u still would have been killed
bytheway says
I despise everything islam stands for and I will never trust a muslim. In a crowd of muslims, how on earth are you meant to tell the difference between a pious muslim who will kill without hesitation and one who simply funds it peacefully and pretends not to support these terrorist acts, but celebrates nonetheless when infidels are killed.
Nasty and hateful ideology.
R Crocker says
bytheway – I’m with you all the way here. Many of us are tired of the relentless brainwashing coming not only from our media but both political parties as well. That most Muslims are not terrorists is little more than a meaningless truism, all too many either tacitly support this violence or simply look the other way perhaps out of fear of more devout Muslims. What does this say about this hideous religion? Unless one totally disregards the Quran this faith can never be a religion of peace. If one recognizes that this hateful intolerant nonsense written by a power crazed crackpot who fantasized about archangels dictating Allah’s word directly to him occurred today it would be laughed off as beyond absurd. Why is it somehow credible because it occurred 1,400 years ago during a time of rampant superstition? That any rational person can believe even one word of it boggles the mind.
Morton Doodslag says
The Muslims were “spared”, not “rescued”. This subtle difference puts an altogether different light this fresh Muslim atrocity. It puts a lie to the notion that Muslim terrorists somehow aren’t Muslim. It also opens up lines of inquiry that are otherwise impossible with the verb “rescued”. Did the “rescued” Muslims have anything to do with pointing out the “infidels” among them? That’s just one question that comes to mind. Others will have different questions.
But let’s use accurate language, rather than confusing language.
Nigel GFF says
“…Hasina said. “They do not have any religion, their only religion is terrorism.”…
How right you are. This kind of language is B.S.
‘Their only religion is’… Islam, you fool.
Walter Sieruk says
With this murderous ISIS jihad attack in Bangladesh it’s very then very fitting to reiterated that in order to comprehend there real essence of ISIS it’s necessary to understand that the very bases of and for ISIS is Islam So with ISIS so much in the news and in so much power in some parts of Iraq, Syria and Libya and the actual foundation for ISIS is Islam, a fact that some people adamantly deny, Nevertheless it’s a good thing to define what Islam really is .Of the many ways Islam may be described, one of them is that a religion of denial. Meaning that Islam denies that Jesus is the Son of God. As in the Son of God Who is God the Father. Furthermore, Islam denies the Jesus is God the Son. In addition, Islam denies that Jesus is God. Before going over these three denials of Islam it first should the stated the Bible instructs the way to tell if a prophet or religious teacher is really from and of God or not is do the teachings and doctrines of that prophet of teacher really fit in accord what is found in the Bible ? For if that prophet or teachers and teachers doctrines that are in contradiction to the Bible then that prophet is a false prophet and that religious teacher is a false teacher and thus in doctrinal error and darkness. Likewise if a religion had teachings and doctrines that are in contradiction that is religion is in error also part of the world of darkness and is therefore a false religion. As the Bible instructs in Isaiah 8:20. “To the law of the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” [K.J.V.] With this clearly stated, three things should be known. First, that Islam denial that Jesus is the Son of God is in great contradiction to the teaching of the Bible . Which reveals the Jesus is the Son of God? As seen in ,for example Matthew 3:16,17. 16:15,16. Luke 1:35. John 3:16-18, 36. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13. Second, that Islam denies that Jesus is God the Son is in strong contradiction to the Bible. As found in Hebrews 1:6-8. With emphasis on verse 8. Third, Islam’s denial that Jesus is God is in great contrast to the doctrine and teaching of the Bible. That Jesus is God may be found in ,for example, John 1:1;3. Colossians 1:15-17. 2:9. Romans 9:5 Second Peter 1:1. Titus 2:13. First John 5:20. Moreover, to further discover that the Bible teachings that Jesus is God all a person has to do is to compare the Old Testament with New Testament to see that Jesus is God. As in comparing Isaiah 45:22,23. with Philippians 2:5-11. Also by comparing Psalm 89:8,9. with Mathew 8:23-27. will reveal that Jesus is God. Likewise, by comparing Psalm 62:5-7 . with First Corinthians 10:4. shows the Deity of Jesus. Even by comparing the News Testament books together will show that Jesus is God. As in comparing Romans 14:12. with John 5:22. will show Jesus to be God. The list can go on but this should be enough, for all who are willing to see the truth, that Jesus is, indeed, the Son of God. That Jesus is God the Son and that Jesus is God. The imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam will try to “explain’ this all away by making the claim that the Bible had been corrupted by Christians ,through time, and that’s way the Bible reads as it does. This claim, very much, underestimate the Power of God to protect and preserve His Word ,through time , and to keep in intact and away from the corruption of men. In conclusion, in light and information of the Bible in can be seen that Islam is a awful and terrible doctrinal error concerning it teaching about the Nature of Jesus and therefore Islam is part of the world of darkness. So Islam with its strong contradictions to the Bible is a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. So all Muslims be they peaceful non-ISIS members or the violent jihadist/ISIS members are thus invited to leave the false religion of Islam and come the and receive the Jesus of the Bible who is the only way to heaven ,John 14:6 and the True Light of the world. John 8:12.
abad says
That’s because Islam is from the pit of hell from Satan himself.
Ann Coulter was right the first time around – we do need to obliterate Muslim leaders like ISL, convert the rest of the Muslims on this rock to Christianity, then maybe some sanity will be restored on earth.
Champ says
“…during the Ramadan holy month.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Holy” month of Ramadan? No, Ramandan is HELL month! Also, the quran is not “holy” either, since it’s a manual-4-murder. C’mon there’s nothing “holy” about islam, but it’s *wholly* evil!
John Spielman says
It’ s NOT the holy month of Ramadan it’s RamaDamn!
Charli Main says
and mad Mohammed of Mecca was NOT a prophet either.
linnte says
I wonder if quoting the Qur’an in English would count?
Angemon says
Clearly, nothing to do with islam…
eduardo odraude says
In the earliest Muslim biography of Muhammad, he orders the torture of a man in order to get hold of a treasure
We learn of that on (LINK:) pages 511-517 (758-766 in the Arabic). The same pages also tell us that after the torture, Muhammad had the man beheaded. Later that night, or the next, Muhammad took into his private tent for consummation of “marriage” the tortured man’s widow, whose father and other male relatives, we read, Muhammad had just killed:

Anyone who believes in religion cannot do such act. They do not have any religion, their only religion is terrorism.
— Bangladesh Prime Minister Hasina
I shall terrorize the Infidels!
— Allah
I have been made victorious by terror.
— Holy Prophet Mohammed
Has this man not read the scriptures of his own religion?
Ra says
Nah, she sure as fuck has and that was her laughable attempt at engaging in Taqiyya, Kitman, and Tawreya.
William says
Prime Minister Hasina said: “Anyone who believes in religion cannot do such act. They do not have any religion, their only religion is terrorism.”…
Analysis of his faulty logic:
Premise one (unstated): Some men just murdered people. (True)
Premise two (stated): Anyone who believes in religion cannot do such act. (A claim)
Premise three (unstated): The murderers were Mohammedans, believers in the Mohammedan religion.(True)
His conclusions:
They do not have any religion. (false; they are Mohammedans)
Their religion is terrorism. (false; their religion is Mohammedanism)
Test of premise two:
Anyone who believes in religion cannot do such act (murder).
Stated as a conditional proposition:
If a man believes in religion, then he cannot murder.
Conclusion (logical):
A man murders, therefore he cannot be religious.
Yet, we know that men who are religious do commit murder.
Therefore, the claim “anyone who believes in religion cannot do such act” is false.
So, his claim is false, and his conclusions are false.
Michael Copeland says
“…their only religion is terrorism”, said Prime Minister Hasina.
And where is terrorism instructed?
“the Quran directly commands us to commit terrorism, so why are we afraid of it?”

Another parrot who repeats that Islam is a religion of peace

When I hear or read the word religion I shiver

Sure, and anyone who likes food can’t be poisoned. Try some amanita muscaria mushrooms over rice with wine sauce for lunch.

Yep.

Fear tactics, learn the Qur’an to avoid being shot.
“joint force”- that’s hopeful
rolf wittwer says
The only real thing spread by Islam, are knife blades, shrapnels and bullets from their AK47.
And it’s called religion.
citycat says
Maybe it’s the next fear phase.
What has been called by moderates as being nothing to do with nice Islam, is now definately all to do with Islam, or maybe the gunmen were simply saving their Muslim brothers.
Whatever views are, it is evil.
Concerned Indian says
All politicians condemn such attacks only to appear glorious.When one reads the Sharia( very few do since they don’t want to see what there is in it and that is hideous) these acts appear in complete consonance .Hence,nobody really condemns.Just for show if at all. Why not do something preventive?This was supposed to be a diplomatic enclave .
