HINDU NURSING LECTURER HACKED TO DEATH FOR NOT WEARING HIJAB

HINDU NURSING LECTURER HACKED TO DEATH FOR NOT WEARING HIJAB

by DR. PHYLLIS CHESLER 12 Jan 2015

The Islamists hacked her to death in broad daylight in Bangladesh and held the horrified onlookers at bay with firearms.

On January 11, 2015, Anjali Devi, 57, was brutally murdered by a group of young men associated with Jamayat-e-Islami.

She was a Hindu, living in Muslim-majority Bangladesh, an honored teacher of nursing at a medical college, a nurse who was concerned with proper hygiene for nurses.

But the Islamist group Jamayat-e-Islami had issued a fatwa demanding that nurses wear hijab. By definition, doing so increases the risk of a nurse carrying a disease from one patient to another and violates operating room procedures. Bangladeshi daily newspaper The Independent reports that police are refusing to officially tie the attack to the group—“We are not pretty sure who the real assassin is, and the motive behind it (murder) is not clear yet.”—but witnesses noted Devi’s opposition to the hijab as the most likely reason for the murder.

When it comes to adhering to Sharia law, Islamists in southeast and central Asia do not care about hygiene. They view this as tainted Western medicine, which dares defy Allah’s will. In 2012, 2013, and 2014, aid workers were murdered for attempting to administer polio vaccines in neighboring Pakistan.

This is the organization that was accused of having committed war crimes during the liberation of Bangladesh. In 2011, the International Crimes Tribunal charged their leaders, in absentia, with genocide, rape, abduction, confinement, and torture. The party was ruled “illegal.” Nevertheless, the student organization remains and is known for extortion, violence, and terrorism. There is a student group that is active at Chittagong College.

Anjali Devi taught at the Chittagong Medical College Hospital.

Although the Bangladeshi government promised to protect young girls from forced child marriages, in November of 2014, the government did precisely the opposite and lowered the legal age for marriage from 18 to 16. Over one third of all Bangladeshi girls are married before they are 15; UNICEF reports that only “45% of adolescent girls are enrolled in secondary school. Even fewer attend regularly.” In addition, the proposed policy change would “eliminate access to legal recourse for child brides aged 16-18 since they would be legally married and therefore not “child brides.”

When Bangladesh gained independence from Pakistan in 1972, the drafters of its constitution considered equal rights for its citizens, including the guarantee of religious freedom. Ultimately, the constitution “acknowledges Islam as the state religion,” even though Article 28 states that “Women shall have equal rights with men in all sphere of the State and of public life.” This “progressive” equality cannot be enforced, particularly in private life, due to the presence of Sharia law.

The Chittagong police have not yet “made any headway in the case” of the murdered nurse.

“”This religion must have an earth shaking reformation or it must be obliterated.””

Don’t you think these people must be puzzled as to why it’s so easy to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes? They can commit the most dastardly of crimes and can count on someone and usually government officials defending their actions. It is truly mind boggling....

Stop helping moozlims. Teach them nothing, sell them nothing, buy nothing from them. Isolate them completely.

From the article:I try to be understanding of people who do not share my beliefs. But, IMHO, Sharia law takes this too far. As far as I'm concerned, "If they like their Sharia Law, they can keep their Sharia Law." If they are not interested in modern hygiene, so be it. No one should interfere with their desire to live in the seventh century.

Being kind to rabid animals is not wise. They MUST be put down promptly.

I hope that all the nurses, doctors and medical techs just walk away from the country. Leave the Moslems to themselves. And may another gigantic typhoon blow in from the ocean again.

Pakistan is proof you can’t deal with these people. They got their own country yet they’re still not happy. We should nuke the whole damned continent and save God the trouble.

Obama must be so proud of his favorite religion. (And the lying Democrats have the gall to accuse conservatives of a “war on women” while saying nothing about Muslim atrocities. Democrat feminists and these murdous Muslims have much in common.)

These are the people who have doctors and nurses who will not wash their hands past their wrists.

“Do it every time an apologist for this death cult opens their mouth.”

I can agree in general but most often the correct word is advocate not apologist.
