A prominent Bangladeshi-American blogger known for speaking out against religious extremism was hacked to death as he walked through Bangladesh's capital with his wife, police said Friday.
The attack Thursday night on Avijit Roy, a Bangladesh-born U.S. citizen, occurred on a crowded sidewalk as he and his wife, Rafida Ahmed, were returning from a book fair at Dhaka University. Ahmed, who is also a blogger, was seriously injured. It was the latest in a series of attacks on secular writers in Bangladesh in recent years.
A previously unknown militant group, Ansar Bangla 7, claimed responsibility for the attack, Assistant Police Commissioner S.M. Shibly Noman told the Prothom Alo newspaper.
Roy "was the target because of his crime against Islam," the group said on Twitter.

“Attackers in Bangladesh hack to death American blogger”
DDoS attack?
FYI
Obola will playing golf tomorrow, no doubt.
Just another random American citizen hacked to death by Muslims.
Once upon a time, there were still vivid memories of the horrors visited upon her citizens by Pakistan during their war for independence in the early 1970s, and a lot of goodwill toward India, America, Japan and others who supported them in their ultimately successful struggle.
Muslims have no idea of what will happen once the “Game ON” signal balloon goes up.
Lack of job opportunity malaise?
Wonder if he cheers for them sometimes.
we have never been safer and if we give them jobs then we would live in harmony with them so lets not get on our high horse.

After two minutes - I’m still lolling at your post.
Just three little letters. And who they’re posted to. Relative to a blogger.
lololol. Well done.
The only thing stopping this very thing from happening on American streets is the fact that a large number of Americans are well-armed and not afraid to use their weapons.
Beware the Obama gun grab that will soon be on our doorsteps.
I suspect a YouTube video set somebody off. Trigger words and all that.
"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;...that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.

I was speaking directly to that. The uninformed, unwashed masses will see this as, “OH, we’re taking cop killer bullets off the street,” while the rest of us are reeling from the absolute ignorance of the claim.
I hope everyone is stocked up. I truly believe the war is about to begin.
No.....ALL THE TIME!
Just some kind of workplace violence.
Its a good thing Islam is the Religion of peace, otherwise, someone might have been killed /sarc
