[T-72M1]

Dhaka, May 7: A local Sufi Muslim leader in bangladesh has been hacked to death in a suspected Islamist killing on Saturday. The incident took place two weeks after a liberal professor in the country was murdered after which the Islamic State group claimed responsibility behind the killing. It is noteworthy that today’s killing took place in the same northwestern district.

Report suggest that the victim was not a famous Sufi and there could be a possibility that he was killed by Islamist militants. Nisharul Arif, Rajshahi district police chief reportedly said, that the killing was ‘similar’ to a recent incident of murder that took place in last couple of months.


In last two or three months communal tension and murder on grounds of religion are on a rise in Bangladesh. Rezaul Karim Siddique, a 58-year-old professor from Bangladesh was attacked from behind with machetes as he walked from his home to a bus station in the north-western city of Rajshahi.

According to reports, Rezaul’s neck was hacked at least three times and cops first suspected it was carried out by an extremist groups. Rezaul is the fourth professor from Rajshahi university to be murdered. Earlier this year, a local court in Bangladesh announced life sentences to two Islamist militants for the murder of Prof Mohammad Yunus.

Today’s killing has triggered a protest by Sufi Muslim groups who went on road for the immediate arrest of the killers. Since 2013, Bangladeshi Islamist militants have been blamed for a number of murders of secular bloggers and online activists who had raised their voice against the growing fundamental activities there.

According to police, in each of the attacks, unidentified assailants hacked the victim to death with cleavers and machetes.

That is what happens to NON-Abrahamic Religions in a Islamic state.
These kills were claimed by ISIS.
Bangladesh Denies it, but we know that ISIS is already there.
All HINDUS,SIKHS,BUDDHISTS,PAGANS,ANIMISTS IN BANGLADESH! Should come to India(Bharat) we will give asylum for you.Don't be sorry fellows like your ancestors who thought Bangladesh will protect you.You saw Pakistan and now see your place.
"Leave Bangladesh and come to Bharat to be SAFE! "'
You can stay back and watch yourselves bullied everyday, your daughter abducted , find her missing,find her dead body raped, or your males garotted,beheaded and their heads delivered on town square or to your home.
This is the chance you got to come, into a friendly like BJP Government who will look after Sanatana Dharmics,Loose this Bus you will forever curse yourself again for not utilizing the Opportunity and extinguishing your Gene-Pool in Bangladesh itself.
