A Baptist lay pastor in Bangladesh was beheaded by a group of assailants reportedly tied to a Muslim political party bent on creating a radical Islamic state.
Dulal Sarkar, 35, was the second Christian leader killed in the Asian country in the past year, according to Compass Direct, a U.S.-based news service that monitors persecution of Christians.
Sarkar was attacked as he returned home from discussing his faith with villagers near Jalalpur.
The assailants were identified by a source as a group of 10 Muslims tied to the Jamaat-e-Islami political party, the nation's third largest and a member of the coalition government. Police have arrested three, according to local Christians.
Yes, sirreee, the religion of peace.
He died a martyr. God bless his efforts and that of those who will follow.

The outrage by Newsweek will be that he "offended" them with his radical right wing rhetoric. He should not have gone in there attempting to disrespect their religion.
That he was imposing his beliefs on others in their country.
Don't ever expect Newsweek to stand up for the good, the Christian, or the American thing to do. They are merely a propaganda tool to uplift the anti-U.S., anti-Christian, anti-religion, pro-abortion, terrorist loving democrats.
Please include me on your list, Thank you.
I hope his soul has entered God's house, and if there is any justice in this existence the muslime barbarians who murdered him will meet their pedophile false prophet in Hell's fires!
I am sure He hates it. But His Truth always prevails. And His people are gradually transformed. We will not know perfection until we see Him face to face in eternity. A "Persecution Complex" may be a way skeptics explain it, but God is in control and uses all means to bring man to Himself.
Savage is as knowledgeable of military strategy as I am of Klingon best sellers. He is a buffoon.
Or touching it with the left hand... or touching it in a manner not respectful, and reverential...

Terrible. There are simply too many Muslims who are willing to engage in such violence. One day they are going to do something to bring the wrath of the entire world upon them.
The crusades were a series of defensive wars fought to push back militant Muslims from the Holy Land. The crusading orders (Templars, Hospitaliers, Teutonic Knights) were founded in order to protect pilgrims to the shrines in the Holy Land, as well as recapture the city of Jerusalem. As much as history has been twisted to paint these goals as colonial and expansionist, they were in essence a noble and pious undertaking. Both sides in the crusades had moments of insanity (sacking cities and putting inhabitants to the sword), but this was the status quo for the medieval period. Christians acted no differently in wars with other Christians.
The fact that a millenia later we are finding ourselves in the same position in history (i.e. Muslim invasion), should steel us to the fact that we need to act without hesitation and defend our holy places, as well as the land, faith, and culture we live in. If our Constantinople falls, we will all live as slaves, and second class citizens in our homelands.

Oh, Osama Bin-Laden's friends!
Isn't it great that we have rational statesmen in the PSOE, SPD and Democratic Party willing to negotiate with these fine gentlemen, whose chief method of political activism consists of ritualistic decapitations and homicidal bomb attacks?
Our clergy had better take note and stop being so docile when it comes to presenting Islam as what it really is; a thoroughly evil movement. Turning the other cheek will get their heads chopped off. They had better get it in their dense heads that Islam is NOT a religion of peace.
Christians do not seem to understand that turning the other cheek does not mean that vigorous defense of life and happiness is not contrary to Christ's teachings.
No, we Catholics did it.
Compared to Savage, Limbaugh, Hannity and other "conservative" talk show hosts are a bunch of liberal wimps.
Yes, but don't forget: they treated his Bible with respect, so its OK.
You forgot the UN and the EU and the Spaniards.
I KNEW IT!
