abhorrent and disgraceful.

As the link mentions, these killers are gaining confidence and acting with impunity. I don't need to say how I abhor this action, but I will. :(

The second link questions whether or not Bangladesh is lurching from secularism to sectarian terror. It certainly seems that way.

Dreadful news.

Not a place to exercise free speech. Bigotry spreads it's tentacles.

A reminder that in some parts of the world, being gay is still a potential death sentence.

Disgraceful and barbaric.

Bangladesh has the death penalty on it's statute books, and hopefully...

[mikey4444]

I seem to recall that a similar things happened last year in Pakistan.

[sandyRoe]

Bloggers in Pakistan who question orthodoxy are literally putting their lives on the liñe.

Its odd that because he was a LGBT editor it would appears his killers are worthy of a statutory death sentence. If it was suggested the same of Lee Rigby's muslim killers we would be accused by the usual lefties of dragging ourselves down to their level. A case of not who you are but what you are. :-(

[sandyRoe]

Would a conviction for murder there not attract the death penalty, no matter who the victim was?

Muslims displaying their religion of peace again!

all pretty standard stuff from the R-0-P

TTT

Why the zero???

[DTCwordfan]

bang - oooowww, as TTT blows his foot off with that sardonic ROP.

The issue is secularism versus the reach of those *** from the west, the same thing inflicting itself potentially on the old West Pakistan and the NW of India. Wait for China to have a massive incident.....

I have seen a few American Baptists preaching hatred towards this group.

[naomi24]

Gavmacp, did they hack anyone to death?

[-Talbot-]

Although preaching hatred towards these groups is wrong ... it's not quite as wrong as hacking them to death. (imo of course)

-Talbot-

I would be surprised if anyone disagreed with your last post.

[mikey4444]

Gavmap...I am sure that I have seen reports in the media, of abortion clinic personnel being shot and killed outside their Clinics, although I am unsure exactly who the culprits were.

By the way, I agree with Talbot here (!)
