Bangladesh executes 6 Islamist militants
NEW DELHI: The military-backed government of Bangladesh executed six Islamist militants on Friday for the murder of two judges in a case that has come to signify unusually swift justice. The men confessed in court to the killings in November 2005 because they favor replacing secular law in the country with Islamic sharia law.
The six men were members of the banned group Jamayetul Mujahedeen Bangladesh, or J.M.B.
The group was blamed for a string of bombings and suicide attacks in 2005, raising alarm about the potential for Islamist militancy in Bangladesh, a poor and densely populated country of 140 million people.
The government at the time, headed by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, had come under sustained pressure to rein in militant activity. That government's tenure ended last October, followed by weeks of political violence.
In January, President Iajuddin Ahmed canceled elections set for that month, declared a state of emergency and an army-backed administration took over.
Go Bangladesh!
"Here's the rules:
1. 'Natives' are not allowed to riot. Only 'immigrants'.
2. 'Natives' are presumed guilty and will be dealt with harshly when challenging established dogma. 'Immigrants', being of nobler but deprived background, are given every and any excuse for barbaric behavior.
3. 'Natives' will suppress every cultural and ethnic proclivity in order to sustain Evangelical Multiculturalism. 'Immigrants', being required to have a multicultural society, are to have thier culture elevated above the culture of the 'Natives'.
4. Any lack of tolerance by the 'Natives' of the dismantling of thier society by the Evangelical Multiculturalists willl be dealt with by public claims of 'Racism' and 'Intolerance' (mortal sins in E M). Any attacks and intolerance by the 'Immigrants' are praised as justified retribution to the 'Intolerant' 'Native' culture. Such 'Immigrant' intolerance is encouraged by the Evangelical Multiculturalists to demonstrate their superior intellect and disdain for that society that actually provides their sustenance.
Any questions?
Good. Watch closely because we are witnessing something rare in human history - this is how a culture dies."
