Bangladesh protesters demand blasphemy law Last updated: 14 minutes ago Hundreds of thousands of marchers call for law that
would include death penalty for bloggers who insult
Islam. One person has been killed as hundreds of thousands
of people continued protests in Bangladesh to
demand that the government introduce an anti-
blasphemy law that would include the death penalty
for bloggers who insult Islam. Nowsher Khan, a local leader of the Awami League
was killed in Bhanga, a town south west of Dhaka on
Saturday, when Hefazat-e-Islami party supporters
clashed with Awami League supporters. The protest on Saturday, called the "long march", with
many travelling from remote villages, was
sparked after a group of bloggers allegedly began
criticising conservative religious parties that are
widely popular despite Bangladesh's secular
constitution. Allegedly backed by Jamaat-e-Islami party, Hefazat-e-
Islam, an Islamic group which draws support from
tens of thousands of seminaries, organised the rally
in support of its 13-point demand including enactment
of a blasphemy law to prosecute and hang atheist
bloggers. Dhaka has been virtually cut off from the rest of the
country since Friday afternoon, after secularists called
a 22-hour nationwide strike to obstruct the march. Both secular and Muslim protesters have taken to the
streets over the war crimes trials of leaders of the Jamaat-e-Islami party in cases related to the 1971 war
against Pakistan in which three million people were
killed and many thousands of women were raped.

Where is freedom of speech and expression in Islam. Only evil and tyrants are known to be hostile to criticism. They don't welcome it and they don't allow it. How come Islam also doesn't welcome freedom of speech and expression?
Is it because ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE? Or is Islam afraid of something? Is this how to prove that you are peaceful when people are not allowed to air their views and opinions?

How exactly do u want ds news to be of concern 2 us

Yes it should of concern to anyone with human empathy something you seem to lack. Hopefully the minorities there, people of other faiths won't get their lives and properties destroyed by those that profess the religion of peace over allegation of blasphemy.
