Bangladesh: Muslims scream “Allahu akbar” as they’re sentenced to death for murdering 22 non-Muslims

“Seven Islamists have been sentenced to death for a 2016 attack on a cafe in the Bangladeshi capital in which 22 people….Some of the men shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ (an Arabic phrase meaning ‘God is greatest’) as they were led away from the packed courtroom.”

As far as they were concerned, it was a triumph.

“Holey Artisan cafe: Bangladesh Islamists sentenced to death for 2016 attack,” BBC, November 27, 2019:

Seven Islamists have been sentenced to death for a 2016 attack on a cafe in the Bangladeshi capital in which 22 people, mostly foreigners, were killed.

The attack on the Holey Artisan cafe in Dhaka was carried out by a group of five men, who took diners hostage.

Eight people were on trial, accused of planning the attack and supplying weapons. One man was acquitted.

The 12-hour siege was Bangladesh’s deadliest Islamist attack. Most of the victims were Italian or Japanese.

The attack was claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group, but Bangladesh disputed this, instead holding a local militant group responsible. All of the gunmen were killed by police….

Sentencing the men in Dhaka, the judge said they wanted to undermine public safety and create anarchy.

Some of the men shouted “Allahu Akbar” (an Arabic phrase meaning “God is greatest”) as they were led away from the packed courtroom, AFP news agency reported….

    They were just doing what Koran 9:5 says to do — unless the people who were killed had paid the Jizya so they could remain non-Muslims per verse 9:29. How do the Muslim authorities in Bangladesh justify the sentence of death? Are they saying that these guys are not really Muslims? If so, what did they get wrong about Islam? This a great time for Muslims to explain Islam to everybody and point out exactly what these guys misunderstood … because I would like to know too.

    About time the west started to follow the lead of countries like Bangladesh, bring back the death penalty for these sorts of crimes. No matter who commits them.

    ……………………

    surprised they were sentenced at all, in Dar-al-Islam. Bangladeshi authorities are probably worried that these Jihadists will turn on them for being “insufficiently Islamic”.
