Jihadis hack to death noted American writer, scientist and thinker Avijit Roy, wife injured

It’s not just France and Denmark and Europe, it’s anywhere Muslims live and practice sharia.

This savage war is on freedom of thought, freedom of expression, freedom of and from religion, and freedom of speech. In other words, imposing Islamic law by any means possible.

These are dark days, my friends, and growing ever darker.

“Suspected Islamic assailants hack to death noted writer and Hindu atheist Avijit Roy in Dhaka, wife injured” Hindu Existence, February 27, 2015

HENB | Dhaka | 26 Feb 2015:: Eminent Blogger and writer Avijit Roy has been killed and his wife, blogger Rafida Ahmed Bonna, severely injured when unidentified miscreants hacked them at TSC of Dhaka University on Thursday night.

Avijit, son of former DU teacher Dr Ajay Roy and also the founder of Mukto-mona Blog, and his wife have been admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital in critical condition immediately after the attack.

Later, he died while undergoing treatment around 10:30pm, said Shahbagh police station OC Sirajul Islam.

Bonna told the Dhaka Tribune: “The miscreants attacked us with cleaver around 8:45pm.”

Witnesses said some unidentified miscreants swooped on the bloggers and hacked them mercilessly between 8:30pm and 9pm while they were returning from the book fair, leaving them critically injured.

OC Sirajul said: “We do not have any clear idea about the attackers. But, the police is suspecting that those, who attacked Humayun Azad, might be behind this as the attacking style suggested similarity.”

On February 27, 2004, professor Humayun Azad was attacked on the way back from book fair, in the following August he died in Germany.

Miscreants also exploded two crude bombs outside of the DMCH around 11:30pm, immediately after the news spread in the city.

A group of people have staged a protest in front of the DMCH, protesting the killing.

DU Proctor Amjad Ali said: “I came to know the writer had been receiving threats from militants because of his anti-communal activism.”

Among the teachers of Dhaka University who rushed to Dhaka Medical College hospital hearing the news of the attack, were Professor Dr Abul Barkat, Professor Anwar Hossain.

Professor Anwar Hossain said the those, who are against the country’s liberation, democracy, free thoughts and attacked Humayun Azad, have perpetrated this.

Liton Nandi, Dhaka University Chhatra Union president, told the Dhaka Tribune they were set to bring a torch procession, protesting the attack and killing in a short time.

nasreenEarlier in 2014, online bookstore Rokomari.com stopped selling books by the well-known writer after an Islamic militant issued death threats on Facebook to the website’s owner.

The decision to withdraw his books was prompted by death threats posted to Facebook by Farabi Shafiur Rahman, an Islamist extremist allegedly linked to Jamaat-e-Islami.

Farabi accused Avijit of defaming Islam and the “prophet” Mohammed and accused Rokomari.com chairman Mahmudul Hasan Sohag of “promoting atheism” by selling his books.

In his Facebook post, Farabi specified the office address of Rokomari.com and called upon his “Islamist friends” in the adjacent locality to attack.

He also told Sohag that he would suffer the same fate as Ahmed Rajib Haider, a popular blogger known by the psuedonym Thaba Baba, who was hacked to death last year by machete-wielding Islamic militants.

Avijit was threatened by suspected Islamists.

Avijit, a Bangladesh-born engineer, who was living in the United States, rose to prominence with his books on philosophy, scientific thought and human rights issues.

Among his books are Biswas and Bigyan (Belief and Science), Abishwasher Darshan (philosophy of atheism), Samakamita: Baigyanik ebong Samajmanastattik Anusandhan (Homosexuality: Scientific and socio-psychological intervention), Satantra Bhabna o Buddir Mukti (individual thoughts and freedom of thoughts) etc.

Avijit and his wife came to Bangladesh to attend the book fair as two of his books came out in the fair.

Avijit was under the target of the fundamentalists as he has been continuing his literary war against the Radicalism in Bangladesh and he also under the scanner of the Muslim fanatics as he married a Muslim girl. Rafida Ahmed Bonna, his wife was targeted as she was always supporting his husband, Avijit for his  belief on atheism.

Born in a reputed Hindu family, Avijit reached to a destination of  atheism in his turbulent youth.

Awami League, the so called secular and ruling party in Bangladesh  is completely failure to protect the minorities and the free thinkers in Bangladesh right now.

Radical Islam is growing there with all its barbaric crudeness and fanaticism. Sources say that Jamaat and BNP may be behind this horror killing.

Jihadi Muslims are inhumane wild animals that need to be caught and destroyed for the public welfare. their religion sucks, their god sucks, and they suck!!!! their god is such a fat liar that he even dares to deny the very deity of Jesus Christ. Islam and its’ fake submission to its’ fake god is pure fraud and a work of confusing false doctrines which damn those who embrace it.

You can add more inane and obfuscating lines like “Jews can be just as violent”, “Buddhists can be just as violent” etc, if it makes you feel more scholarly and just. The fact is that only the Muslims are pursuing a religious mandate to kill and subjugate the non-believers globally. They are the only ones who kill free thinkers and cartoonists because of perceived insults to their prophet.

They mostly destroy our temples and such and kill some people here and there
And go to Russia where they still kill gay people
Have you even read our holy books we have not killed people like Christians and Muslims do. we have not forced our religion on others that’s why Hinduism is only majority in India and Nepal
We think that every religious Is true and that you’ll get what you have done karma

He’s himself to blame. He was living happy in USA, why would he endanger his n’ his wife’s life by coming to a medieval country like BD?? It’s an islamic terrorist heaven, with no less than 35% (YES!) of total population directly supporting radical, murderous islam.
PS: I refuse to write islam with capital ‘I’ as I think it’s a death cult and as such doesn’t deserve any respect. Let’s NOT write islam with capital ‘I’. It’s a good thing to start I think! What do you guys think?

The sarcasm is appreciated. But this is a different playground. Nazism erupted in an age not vitiated by wrongheaded ideas of ‘political correctness’ and a frantic attempt at showcasing sympathy for those who play victim. Have you considered why Obama consciously shies away from using the word ‘islam’ while referring to terrorism? That’s because this clash is being played out as much on the field as on the rhetorical level. It’s a mindset that needs to be changed so that islam is treated as what it is, indistinguishable from, say, words like the ‘undead’ or a ‘criminal’ or a ‘rapist’.

i dont know why are you telling it as jihadi… none could even find out who been made that attack on last night… and i dont know why mr. diganta is addressing Bangladesh as a Islamic terrorist heaven!!!! its a place of communial harmony.. Even better than India or Pakistan..so i think u have the problem with Islam and BD… right now,political crises is the main problem here… but u cant say thats a terrorist heaven, probably it would be linked up with thats political issues… so you have to figure out whether it been judged in a proper way or not and who been killed him.. and whoever killed him he is a terrorist and should be under proper law…. you cant make it biased by saying this as a jihadi terroirist heaven’s atack…. and then you should learn to respect others opinion, faith, believe and never intend to heart any region, religion or place…

Nice work ‘Mark’ . Seems malapropism is your strong point . Not to worry , anyway there is no ‘terrorist heaven’ for those in your disputed terrorist haven of BD, nor is there any derivative pagan rock God known as Allah . It’s all a product of a very sick minded caravan raider and pleases only the dark one .’ By their fruits you shall know them’ and Islam is truly the most toxic of trees.

BD is a place of communal harmony??!! Buddy, I live in a place not even 100k’s from BD…I really cannot indulge in the history of bigotry and Islamic fundamentalism this country has shown down the years EVEN after the were gifted independence by India back in 1971…if you r interested, I can discuss such things…but please read what I wrote there. I’ve mentioned 35% of the total population is radicalized at the modest estimate…that still leaves out 65% of the populace as either moderate or liberal; but other informed commentators, I’m sure would find even this to be too optimistic. You r mistaken my friend, the problem is NOT political instability, it NEVER is. It is islam and its murderous messages of hatred!

You are 100% right Mark! While we in BD have our own problems with these fundamentalists here, some of our friends living in India are out to malign a country which is at least 100 times better than India when communal harmony matters.They themsleves elect a person as the PM whose hands are smeared with innocent bloods! A bigot who got elected exactly because at least 40% of Indians are communal and would behave exactly the same way as ISIS or other jehadist group in the name of Religion! They killed Mahatma Gandhi, and even today praises the killer because he is from the group RSS and the present Indian PM was an RSS thug! These Hindus even beat up a fellow student in a Mumbai college just becasu he is lower caste Hindu who drank water from the same pitcher!Or if any lower caste boy dares to marry an upoper caste girl, he would simply be burnt alive! Its a regular affair in India! Forced conversion to Hinduism is now quite regular too! Communal riots take place almost every year in India! Burning of Christian churches with pastors inside are frequent!When did last communal riot take place in BD?

A fair question : Why he went there in the first place? Knowing well BD is totally Islamic and hostile to Hindus and very unsafe to atheists. If he wanted to visit and feel home, he should have visited nearby Indian city Calcutta. Which is very Bengali and very safe. He himself to blame for whatever happened.

He knew the dangers better than anyone but was courageous or foolhardy enough to go there to also be with his mother, who lives in Dacca. I agree he should not have. It was an act of irrationality in an otherwise most rational person.

Mr. Avijit Roy took a chance by visiting his country of birth – so it’s his fault if he was butchered by savage islamists?

21 Egyptian Christians took a chance by refusing to convert to islam, so it’s their fault if they were beheaded by savage jihadis?

Two Jewish children also took a chance by walking to school one morning, so they are to blame for being gunned down by a savage jihadi in France?

In your dreams! It’s a muslim well-known tactic to blame the victims of their bloody feats, but the truth is that they, and they alone, are the only ones to blame, they alone are the disgusting islamists who pollute the earth by their very existence.

Bangladesh is projected to be completely under water by the end of the century which can’t come fast enough. India ought to be building a massive wall across its eastern border with Bangladesh to ensure this vile country is gone forever. Pakistan on the other hand is doing a fine job with self-implosion.

All the symptom of extinction of Islam is visible every where. There is no noticeable intellectual person can breath in that society. The Muslim society is day by day become a frustrated lot. They express frustration through intolerance. The society has no knowledge about life. The war between light and darkness, knowledge and believe, is going to intensify in coming days. The peace will restore when the truth prevail.
