Derogatory remarks against Prophet Mohammed: Hindu tailor hacked to death in Bangladesh

[Zahoor Raja-Jani]

Tangail: At least two assailants hacked a Hindu tailor to death in central Bangladesh on Saturday, police said, amid a rise in attacks on religious minorities by extremist groups in the Muslim-majority nation.
"They came on a motorcycle and attacked him as he sat on a roadside. They hacked him on his head, neck and hand," deputy chief of Tangail district police Aslam Khan told AFP.

He added that the victim, named as Nikhil Chandra Joarder, 50, may have been murdered for allegedly making derogatory remarks about the Prophet Mohammed several years ago.

Police officials told AFP they were investigating whether the killing was linked to Islamist militants suspected of a series of murders of minorities, or was tied to a family dispute.

They said local Muslims had filed a complaint against the victim, who owned a tailoring shop, to police in 2012 for making comments about the Prophet Mohammed.

"But as far as we know that dispute ended peacefully. His family said he was also threatened by a relative," a senior police official told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The murder came less than a week after suspected Islamist militants hacked to death two gay rights activists in the capital Dhaka, saying they tried to promote homosexuality in the deeply conservative nation.

In February suspected Islamists also decapitated a top Hindu priest in a northern district in an attack claimed by the Islamic State group.



The IS has also claimed responsibility for a spate of recent murders of foreigners, and Sufi, Ahmadi, Shiite and Christian minorities.

Hindus, the country`s largest religious minority, make up nearly 10 percent of Bangladesh`s 160 million people.

of course there is the possibility of family dispute but we don't know if that relative is a muslim or not, or whether the relative in 2012 had forcefully told the tailor to leave the area for fear of the jamaatis targetting him ( relative ) too because of association with the tailor.

or it may be the tableeghis searching for past disputes or controversies and using them within the new environment to create a public acceptance so that they can take over the government.

rawami?? since when are you on the side of bd jamaatis to use their terminology??

but i doubt it will be the 'awami league' because i doubt it will want to kill non-muslims as they will be a significant supporter base.

of course we cannot discard what you said but the main suspects should be the jamaatis and the government and military should use this as excuse to wipe out the jamaatis... else we will have a syria situation in bd.

His family is saying he did have enmity with someone and it has not been established who the killers are....Bhaarti media as usual trying to blow things out of proportion and trying to mislead when the investigation is still in preliminary stages.

Systematic extermination of Hindus by Abrahamic religions and wilful & gleeful reaction of sickulars to that fact.
In fact Sickulars are complicit in this extermination.

can you tell me how you concluded that i excluded religion from being the excuse for the tailor's murder??

my first post on this thread, which was also the first reply on this thread, said "tableeghi jamaat at work again."

what systematic extermination of hindus??

i think you are using that line to pre-empt any discussion of systematic creation of riots and of lynching or burning of muslims, christians, dalits and the progressives all by the sangh.
