Bangladeshis hold mass prayer to support Blasphemy laws

[Skallagrim]

Its surprise that most pakistani friend are against Blasphemy law whereas BD members are for it. May be they have suffered its effect. bangladesh has to decide their future- Pakistan/Afganistan or Turkey.
I think most BD members here wants 1st one...

BD members are just enjoying the misfortune BAL adventurists have incurred upon themselves. Don't worry for our future. Thanks for your concern!

Lol they don't put you in jail if you deny the holocaust. People will just think you are mentally handicapped.

Holocaust Denial Laws in many different countries (not USA, mainly EU and Israel) as other already pointed out :
Laws against Holocaust denial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If majority Bangladeshi population want and pass a Blasphemy Law in a future parliament to protect against attack on Islam by Islamophobic Indo-Awami-Zionist nexus then, I will have no problem with it. Freedom of speech and freedom to make hate speech are two different things.

Sad to see BD going down this road, good luck to all the minorities.

Not yet, but you might well be onto he path to Talibandesh. Hardly can call them peaceful if they are going around rioting and killing people. Suicide bombing will just logically become the next step for you guys, once killing/rioting becomes normal.

Arresting people for simply saying things? If you dont agree with what someone says regarding your religious beliefs, just agree to disagree. Going around killing/arresting people is not justified.

If you start saying things against basic beliefs of religion, They will have to be arrested and punished. For Example : If someone starts saying against Indian Constitution, He will be arrested. In the European Countries, the so-called democracies, If you deny Holocaust, If you simply say I don't believe in Holocaust, you will be arrested and put in jail. We can't say them agree to disagree. Will you say your same dialogue to these european countries also ? "Arresting people for simply saying things"..... Mr. Neutral , There are some things that are important to all persons in the world, it may be religion or anything else. You have to respect those things. In Bangladesh, some atheist bloggers do have the right to express their opinions, but that right ceases to exist, at the moment, when they start insulting others' religions.

Do you really think Israel cares about Bangladesh?

'Arrest the atheists who insulted Islam!' Tens of thousands of Muslim activists hold prayers on streets of Bangladesh capital to call for new blasphemy laws against bloggers

Tens of thousands of Islamic activists prayed on the streets of the Bangladeshi capital today during a rally calling for the introduction of blaspemy laws and the restoration of a caretaker government.

Members of the Islami Andolan Bangladesh are demanding the arrest of 'atheist bloggers who insulted Islam' and to pass laws punishing those who 'insulted Islam in the parliament'.

They have announced plans to 'lay siege' to the office of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on April 25 if their demands are not met.




They include the restoration of the phrase 'absolute trust and faith upon Almighty Allah' in basic principles of the constitution; passing laws to punish atheists; holding of national elections under an impartial government; ensuring good governance and justice, uprooting terrorism and corruption; and establishing Islamic rule for a prosperous and welfare state.

According towww.thedailystar.net, the party's Amir Mufti Syed Muhammad Rezaul Karimalso told the rally: 'The incumbent and previous governments have nurtured corruption, violence, nepotism and other different evil practices during last few decades.
'Islami Andolan Bangladesh should be voted to power to get rid of this situation.'

Meanwhile, clashes between police and supporters of the country's biggest Islamic party left five dead on Friday during protests linked to ongoing war crimes trials, police and media said.



Jamaat-e-Islami activists have been staging countrywide strikes and rallies for months to protest against the trials which have placed nearly their entire party leadership in the dock, in cases dating back to the 1971 independence war.

Friday's first incident occurred when lawmakers entered a village in northwestern Chapainawabganj district to arrest party activists accused of torching a power plant in such a protest last month.

About 6,000 villagers gathered to try and prevent the arrests, leading police to open fire.

'We at first used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse the mob, but they attacked us with hand bombs, sticks and bricks, forcing us to open fire,' deputy district police chief Motiur Rahman told AFP.

'We have heard the news of three men killed, but we have not seen any dead bodies,' he said.

Local media reports quoted villagers saying three Jamaat supporters were killed, two on the spot and one on the way to hospital.

In a separate but similar wave of protests in northwestern Sirajganj district, two Jamaat supporters died after being hit with bullets, local police chief Shamsul Huq told AFP.

Police officers went to arrest an activist also accused of violence last month while protesting against the war crimes trial, but they too faced defiance from several thousand villagers.

With the latest deaths, 94 people have now been killed in clashes linked to the trials since the war crimes court handed down the first of its verdicts in January over atrocities during Bangladesh's independence struggle from Pakistan.

Two Jamaat leaders have already been convicted by the tribunal, which critics accuse of trumping up charges in a bid by the government to settle political scores, rather than deliver justice.

The government says the trials are needed to heal the wounds of the 1971 war in which it says three million people were killed and 200,000 women raped. Independent estimates put the death toll between 300,000 and 500,000.

Go through this thread, its not a matter of my thinking. Zionists have been targeting Islam and Muslims for long with their Islamophobic anti-Muslim propaganda:
