Bangladeshi Muslims call for execution of blasphemers
[url=http://rt.com/news/bangladesh-protest-muslim-blogger-431/]Honestly, teh puma wants to take these people seriously. However their beliefs, and the actions they attempt to carry out are just so ridiculous. [/url]
[quote]Thousands of Islamist protesters marched the streets of Bangladesh’s capital, calling for the death penalty for bloggers who insult Islam. The city ground to a halt as demonstrators demanded the government change the law to punish blasphemers.
The activists gathered in their thousands at Dhaka’s commercial hub on Friday night in protest over blasphemous bloggers who offend Islamist sensibilities on social networks. In a demonstration that lasted well into Saturday, they urged the government to introduce a new law with the provision of the death penalty for those who defame Islam.
As the protesters advanced they chanted: "God is great, hang the atheist bloggers!”
"I've come here to fight for Islam. We won't allow any bloggers to blaspheme our religion and our beloved Prophet Mohammed," Shahidul Islam, an imam at a mosque outside Dhaka who walked 20km, told AAP.[/quote]

God dammit, I try so hard to stand up to Middle Eastern Muslems, but shit like this makes my words sound hollow even to me. I suppose the issue is likely more cultural than religious, as the extremism is passed on by people, and not the Koran itself.

5 RepliesThey should execute all muslims for their idiotic beliefs, then we can all get on with the rest of our lives.

This is nothing new, islam will always be hated on until it is gone from our world. But they really didn't have to start a protest, some strongly worded letters would have worked better.
-
Think of how much better the world would be if people like them decided to do something productive with their time, like helping the poor, instead of getting all hissy about some guys opinion.

2 RepliesHuh. People over there will kill for anything won't they?
-
So? It's none of your business what people do in another country.

3 RepliesAnd they claim to be a religion of Peace

Christians have been doing that forever.

27 RepliesThis has nothing to do with Atheist bloggers, it's just a way for more people to attack Islam. They try to tie the religion to a few people. I can do the same for Christianity.

Well that sucks.
