Two assailants armed with pistols and cleavers attacked Jogeswar Roy, 45, the head priest of Sri Sri Sant Gourio Math, at his home in the temple on Sunday morning, officials said.

"The priest was preparing for morning prayers when they pounced on him and slit his head from the body at the verandah of his home inside the temple," said Shafiqul Islam, a government administrator in the sub-district Debiganj where the temple is located.

Two devotees were wounded in the attack including one who was shot as he tried to save the priest, he added.

The motive for the murder was not clear but police said Islamist militants were among those suspected as being behind the killing.

Bangladesh - along with Pakistan, a country from which the civilized world should never accept any immigrants. I’ve been looking and have found nothing good, virtuous or useful that comes from either country’s culture.

Why would you not believe it?

Hindi and Islamists have been at war for 1300 years.

Terrible. There has also been an identical series of murders of secular bloggers in Bangladesh.

No, Muslims have been mass-murdering Hindus for 1300 years.

There's a difference.

Funny thing about that picture. Notice all the signs are written with the same instrument (felt tip pen) and by the same person. It is doubtful that those carrying the signs even know what is written on their signs, as they probably don’t even speak English.
