Bangladeshi Atheist Blogger Killed by Islamists

Quote:A prominent American blogger of Bangladeshi origin has been hacked to death with machetes by unidentified assailants in Dhaka, after he allegedly received threats from Islamists.
The body of Avijit Roy, founder of the Mukto-Mona (Free-mind) blog site – which champions liberal secular writing in the Muslim-majority nation – was found covered in blood after an attack that also left his wife critically wounded.

Roy, who was 42, is the second Bangladeshi blogger to have been murdered in two years and the fourth writer to have been attacked since 2004.
Hardline Islamist groups have long demanded the public killing of atheist bloggers and sought new laws to deal with writing critical of Islam.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I read about this earlier today. So sad. I can't imagine the shock and horror his wife must still be in.

Miserable cowardly cunts. Your religion is utterly pathetic.

If you have to kill people in defense of your beliefs, drop your beliefs. This is sickening.

What a shame, what a fucking shame. It's also a shame that the murderers will likely get away with their crime.
