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.

Sad particularly because Bangladesh is known for practicing a more gentle (apostate) brand of Islam than Pakistan.

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.

For this Islamic murder, and millions of others ever since Islam began, the Americans are arming up and getting ready for the final game of Cowboys & Muslims.

Muslims have no idea of what will happen once the “Game ON” signal balloon goes up.

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.

If not a gun grab, then surely a bullet grab.

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.
