DHAKA, Bangladesh — Police in Bangladesh's capital fired rubber bullets to disperse stone-throwing Islamic activists Sunday during a protest to demand that the government enact an anti-blasphemy law.

The activists were among thousands demonstrating around Dhaka, blocking roads and cutting off the city from the rest of the country.

...

Thousands of activists from Hefatjat-e-Islam, a newly formed group, gathered in Dhaka's Motijheel commercial district to press for their demands.

The group says some Internet users have recently used their blogs to spread atheism and lies about Islam.

The government in this Muslim-majority nation has rejected the groups' demands, saying Bangladesh is governed by secular liberal laws.

stone-throwing Islamic activists

Why don't they make a law against throwing stones at people?

A target rich environment totally wasted with rubber bullets. These fanatics should be removed from the planet with extreme prejudice.

Hoe could anyone possibly lie about Islam?
Why would anyone lie about Islam.

Read their book, It speaks for itself.

Kill the Infidel. The Disbeliever.

Did Muhamed not marry a 9 y.o. girl?

Do they not stone women for infidelity?

Maybe if the Islamics concerned themselves more with the standard of living in their nation.....and not whether people are following their Cult of Hate....Bungladesh would not be such a Third World Craphole

George Harrison and every moron who sent him money as a result of the “Concert for Bangladesh” should be ashamed.

Take the number of Muslims fed by those dollars, and multiply it by two additional generations of multiple births — and that is a major root of the current problem.

Who is financing these guys?

I suspect it is our “friends”, the Saudis.

Islam isn’t fit for pigs.

And I want anti-blasphemy laws to deter any religion taking precedence over Christianity. Oh wait....my God is capable of standing on His own feet and does not need his creations to defend His Holy name. All we can do for our God is to carry His Word to others.

It must be really depressing for those who have a god that demands that they do his dirty work to bolster his "power". Hey islamist, this is god speaking. My a$$ itches and I'm not capable of scratching it myself - could you help?
