HAKA (Reuters) - A blogger was hacked to death by machete-wielding attackers in Bangladesh on Tuesday, the third killing of a critic of religious extremism in the Muslim-majority nation in less than three months.

Ananta Bijoy Das, a blogger who advocated secularism, was attacked by four masked assailants in the northeastern district of Sylhet on Tuesday morning, senior police official Mohammad Rahamatullah told Reuters.

Rahamatullah said Das was a 33-year-old banker.

He was also editor of science magazine "Jukti", which means "logic", and on the advisory board of "Mukto Mona" (Free Mind), a website propagating rationalism and opposing fundamentalism that was founded by U.S.-based blogger Avijit Roy.

Roy himself was hacked to death in February while returning home with his wife from a Dhaka book fair.

The Religion of Peace is very diverse. It expresses itself in a variety of ways.

It can use guns, or bombs, or jetliners full of jetfuel.

It can use knives, hatchets and machetes.

It can shoot, blowup, incinerate, behead and hack to death.

This proves that The Religion of Peace is capable of great diversity in thought and expression and is not monolithic at all.

And it loves to particularly target women and children while wearing masks because they are sooooo brave. They need to be mowed down and set on fire with pork fat so they can meet their pedophile profit and satanic god in hell.

The Religion of Peace is very diverse. ...

Yet, at the same time, the ROP's Science is settled, their Consensus apparently is to kill [us].

I wonder ...

If I lived in a muslim nation, I'd never say words that would get me into the mixing bowl of a Joe and Nemo's (Bostonians will get it)

I'd venture the guess that the muzzies use drugs en masse to accomplish their death cult directives and they go out looking for SOMEONE without really having a target in mind .... sort of drive-by-hacking

THEN the report comes out ... Oh yeah ... he spoke out against the prophet (spit)

Good thing he didn’t draw cartoons of Muhammad.

They will kill for any kind of speech against Muhammad.
