The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack through its news agency, saying the 58-year-old professor who wrote poetry and fiction had been murdered for "calling for atheism".
I've often seen it said we need to understand terrorism and do our best to not provoke it. Did the victims provoke this?
To be fair, sometimes I can't tell the difference when it comes to their human rights record.It is Bangladesh we are talking about here, not south Alabama.

...especially in Bangladesh.

I can't say I am surprised.
So, who was it that said he wanted a war with the gay haters?

I guess that depends on point of view and how you define provoke. The "Islamic State group" has zero tolerance for anything deemed as competition to their interpretation of authority and purpose, in that context then anyone LGBT would be provoking the Islamic State group. But, that is exclusively from the Islamic State group point of view. They would look at just about anything they did not like as provoking them into a response per their own beliefs on what they should do to anyone who does not comply.

actually in western countries, muslims are more tolerant of gay rights than christian evangelicals, according to the polls. Obviously not in bangladesh, but it's clear that once assimilated into western culture or at least exposed to gay people, muslims can be won over just as much as any other religious group
oh right, so they deserved to be slaughtered for being gay, is that what you're saying? Homosexuality *already* carries a life sentence in bangladesh. It *already* was intolerable there. I have no desire to win those responsible over (and no it is not the victims), only to bring them to justice
if muslims were ever 'provoked' en mass by the west into murderous extremism it would've been by the invasion and bombings in iraq, not by gay activists who were already hated and hunted down. I am sure that trump's proposal to ban all muslims from the country also will not help to dissuade moderate muslims from becoming extremist
i am curious how you find it possible that the same victims can provoke their own violent murder, while others have no problem with their behavior. I'm thinking that must mean the fault lies with the killers!

Alabama is a pretty disgusting place.Really?
That's a pretty disgusting and disingenuous comment.
Alabama is a pretty disgusting place.
Right, the important part of this story is to be sure we condemn those Christian evangelicals. Anything to criticize the "right" people and avoid criticizing the "wrong" people, eh?
Well enjoy, I think I'm pretty much done with this. It's clear it doesn't matter who actually did what, Christians are always gong to be the ones to blame (according to some).
they cannot be reasoned or negotiated with and no mutual understanding is possible. Like any genocidal fanatics, they're too far off the deep end and it would require too much sacrifice of our own values and freedom to appease them. The only recourse is to take them out
easy yourself,
i think clearly i was not blaming evangelicals for the murders in bangladesh. I was only addressing his misconception that muslims are inherently anti gay. If they immigrate and adopt western values as well as other religions, then it's clearly ignorant to pretend that islam is inescapably violently homophobic
I don't particularly care about any of your personal angst regarding Alabama (if you even have much of a basis for it) and that has nothing to do with your hyperbole regarding how it's barely different than Bangladesh.
It's like the people comparing Trump to Hitler. I don't like Trump but I also haven't seen him murder anyone or carry out genocide, among other things.
If you're going to accuse me of stuff without acknowledging that you might actually be wrong, you really have no room to complain.
You did definitely say that Christians are worse, even if light of this story. Like I say, make sure you get your shots in. Who do you condemn for these murders? Can you even choke it out?
well, the same poll shows catholics at 60% support, with muslims at 42%, so i no more meant to imply all christians are homophobic than all muslims. It's just i don't like that poster singling muslims out. I would and have said the same thing if anyone defined all christians by the atrocities in uganda
but i should've framed it as muslims in bangladesh are far more extremist than muslims in the west and left it at that
