American Blogger Killed In Bangladesh For Criticizing Islam

Mark 13:8 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

An American blogger who was critical of Islam was killed by Muslims who attacked in a “knife-wielding mob.”

Avijit Roy, who was an atheist, was attacked for promoting secularism and pointing out the violence and brutality of Islamic extremism.

“Avijit Roy has been killed the way other free thinker writers were killed in Bangladesh. No freethinker is safe in Bangladesh,” blogger Taslima Nasreen, who left Bangladesh in the mid-1990s after receiving death threats from extremists, told the Christian Post about the killing.

“Islamic terrorists can do whatever they like. They can kill people with no qualms whatsoever.”

BBC News reported that Bangladeshi officials for their role in the murder are now investigating a local Islamist group.

This is not the first time Islamists have attacked bloggers for being critical of Islam.  In 2013, one atheist blogger was brutally killed and a second survived a severe beating at the hands of Muslim mob.
