Christian murdered in latest Bangladesh attack

[zenitzz]

A Christian was knifed to death after Sunday prayers near a church in northwest Bangladesh in an attack claimed by Islamic State.

Police said unidentified attackers murdered the 65-year-old in the village of Bonpara, home to one of the oldest Christian communities in Muslim-majority Bangladesh. “Sunil Gomes was hacked to death at his grocery store just near a church at Bonpara village,” said Shafiqul Islam, deputy police chief of Natore district.

Isis claimed responsibility for the murder through its Amaq news agency, according to the Site monitoring group, saying it was “part of a series of operations” in Bangladesh.

The killing came hours after the wife of a senior anti-terrorism officer was murdered in the southeastern city of Chittagong by suspected members of a banned local extremist group.

Bangladesh is reeling from a wave of murders of secular and liberal activists, and religious minorities, that have left more than 40 people dead in three years. Authorities have blamed homegrown Islamists for the attacks, which have spiked in recent weeks, rejecting claims of responsibility from Isis and a South Asia branch of al-Qaida.

To be honest about this, Isis they will kill any one at all, no matter what religion you may be, non religious people also get murdered.

In the name of what....... absolutely nothing
"Say it again, absolutely nothing"

One day there will be a war to end all of this. Humanity will suffer like it has never suffered. Hopefully after this happens humans can move forward. Religion is destroying human capabilities.

I used to appreciate the Sheikh Hasina-led government in Bangladesh (one of the last remaining secular governments in Muslim-majority nations). But now, this religious violence is getting out of control. Proper measures must be taken, or else the ISIS is going to establish itself very firmly in that country. A first step would be to seal the India-Bangladesh and Myanmar-Bangladesh borders.

ISIS hacked to death 6 atheists with machetes in Bangladesh in the last year... only 1 christian...

Why don't you care about the 6 atheists who were murdered in the same way?  Why do you only care about the 1 christian?

ISIS members are high on pills, did you know that?
Yes, they are seriously fucking the Middle East up and they need to be stopped.

Nope, we are living with cancer. If the US successfully eliminates ISIS then there will be more terrorist groups that will spawn after it. This kind of 'war' is long term. It could last more than a hundred years.

That's horrbile when people are murdered just for what they are believing in. Actually that's horrible when people are murdered for whatever reasons. I have no answer on how to stop it.

I think I got it right first time, Isis they will kill any one at all.

More than three dozen individuals have lost their lives in various ISIS attacks in the last three years in Bangladesh. In most of the cases, the perpetrators have not been detained. Not surprising though. The secular nature of the Bangladeshi society has been under pressure, ever since the Petro-dollars from Saudi Arabia and Qatar started flowing in the 1980s. Three decades of brainwashing is finally bearing rewards for the Salafists.

Yeah, I agree with you... that was directed at the OP

ISIS will kill anyone who disagrees with them... that's how blind bigotry works...

They stick their fingers in their ears, say "lalalala akbar", then kill you with a machete

Government need to act fast in such issues because these incidents affects the peace within the country. Though Bangladesh has got majority Muslims there is not much of clash between religions.

Well I agree with you. They need to have a solution to these problems so that all citizens can live at peace.

[Soulorb619]

Bangladesh is a secular country, at least on the outside. The vast majority of its citizens are secular, unlike the other Muslim countries such as Turkey and Pakistan. However, it is one of the poorest countries in the world, and is heavily dependent on aid from the GCC nations such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The GCC nations are the ones who are creating trouble in Bangladesh.

I also agree with you two. They need to have not just a temporary solution but a permanent solution to that problem.

So you need someone to care about that? atheists isn't religion who is care about them.

During the last few days, two Hindus (a priest and a monastery worker) were hacked to death in Bangladesh, and yet the western media ignored those incidents. Dozens of Hindus, Atheists, and Buddhists have lost their lives during the past few years in Bangladesh. The media will highlight the news only if the victims are Christians.

[groll]

This ISIS group is just having fun killing, they are sick bastards.  I think they are just using the name of Islam.  Government should act on this.  They just ruined everything, lives of innocent people even the building that was built a long time ago.

Another Hindu has been assassinated in Bangladesh. The Western mainstream media has ignored the incident, as the victim is non-Christian.

A Hindu priest was hacked to death on Friday at a temple in Bangladesh, police and senior administrative officials said. Shaymanonda Das (45) was hacked to death in front of a temple in Jhinaidah district headquarter, 300 kms (188 miles) south west from the capital Dhaka. “He was preparing morning prayers with flowers at the temple early in the morning and that time three young people came by a motor bike and killed him with machetes and fled away,” said Mahbubur Rahman, the chief of Jhenaidah district administration.
