They want the sharia and they mean to get it using the brutality and violence inherent ….in the sharia. Protesters hacked the police with machetes. What do they want? They want the sharia? They want the death penalty for bloggers who criticize or offend Islam.Looks like I won't be moving to Bangladesh any time soon. Only under Islam could blogging be a death defying profession.
Islamist unrest in Dhaka kill 22 The Telegraph, May 6, 2013
At least 22 people have been killed as Bangladeshi police fought
pitch battles with tens of thousands of hardline Islamists in the
capital Dhaka
Dhaka police spokesman Masudur Rahman said police used sound grenades, water
cannon, tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse at least 70,000 Islamists
who were camped at a key commercial district in a push for a new blasphemy
law.
"We were forced to act after they unlawfully continued their gathering at
Motijheel. They attacked us with bricks, stones, rods and bamboo sticks,"
he said, adding that the protesters had dispersed early Monday morning.

Police inspector Mozammel Haq at Dhaka Medical College Hospital said 11 bodies
were taken to the clinic including several who were hit by bullets and a
policeman who had been hacked in the head by protesters with machetes.
Eleven other bodies were taken to three clinics including four at Al Baraka
and seven at two branches of Islami Bank hospitals which are based close to
the trouble spots.Hospital officials said hundreds of people were injured.
The violence erupted on Sunday afternoon and continued through until the early
hours of Monday morning.It came after hundreds of thousands of Islamists demanding a new blasphemy law
on Sunday blocked highways and fought running battles with police, leaving
10 people dead and hundreds injured in the Bangladeshi
capital.Chanting "Allahu Akbar!" ("God is greatest!") and "One
point, One demand: Atheists must be hanged", activists from the
hardline Hefajat-e-Islam marched along at least six highways, blocking
transport between Dhaka and other cities.Police said about 200,000 people had marched to central Dhaka, where fierce
clashes erupted between thousands of rock-throwing protesters and security
officials, with police beating back demonstrators with batons.

Allahu Akbar means the Muslim god Allah is greater than any other god, not God is greatest. Since Muslim’s are the biggest gang of raping, murdering, thieving thugs on the planet, and are out to destroy civilization as we in the West know it, we should oppose it in every way possible. Islam is a crime against humanity and must be obliterated, the sooner the better.

In case any charitably disposed reader should imagine, erroneously, that these “demonstrations” are spontaneou, let us be clear about one thing: they are INSTRUCTED. There are penalties (like lynch mobs) for NOT taking part. End of message.

The last picture is my favorite. Lovely, all these bearded Islamic buffoons, erm, I mean culturally enriching intellectuals together. The Religion for Simpletons by Simpletons.

As stated before, the only real reason that so many Muslims are after “blasphemy Laws” that give the death penalty for the”blasphemy” against Islam, which in most cases is just truth telling, is that in reality the foundations and doctrines of Islam is so weak that it can’t stand up to or hold up to criticism.”

All of islime needed to be deported out of the United States before the population got as large as it is now. No matter what party gets in to power it is inevitable that eventually it will be that there will be great blood shed as the muslime population continues to grow and infiltrate our judicial system creating a larger and larger push for sharia law.
The freedom of religion should stop with the following as in, it interferes with others rights to access public or private streets & facilities ,forced prostylizing or submission and inhumane practices against a group or individual in any form. But since our current laws do not directly speak to what I just said it has given islime even more of an opportunity to infiltate our country to caculate a submission to their ways of sharia law.
The majority of the population do not have the thinking skills or will to try do what needs to happen as in leagaly and physically overthrow the PC way of delusional & wishfull thinking that eventually the majority of muslimes will bend to the will of making peace to follow our laws & constitution that establishes individual rights to be protected from not being treated inhumanley as in their sharia law codes.
No amount of peacefull discourse is going to undo the over a billion brainwashed muslime into changing their neanderthal thinking. I wish it were not so but the islamic past and current fervor of this sick and debasing so called religion shows otherwise.
Thank you pamela for all you do to out think and expose the evils of islime.

I would like to add to my previous commentary to those who are religious but not of islime that they could argue against my talking points in regards to religion and the implementing of laws that would curtail religions actions to be able to interfere with others rights to access public or private streets & facilities,forced proselytizing or submission and inhumane practices against a group or individual in any form.
This of course would most likely would be an argument in keeping with their support of their particular variety of religion.
My points are these to the religious is that all religions have their level of sexist and or misogyny rederick to be assured and in speaking to the Christian community specifically(since they are so proudly the majority in this country) to my point of sexism & misogyny not applying to them. Oh contraire,the literature of the new testament most certainly does have these elements but are not always spoken of or is shamefully made excuses for as in the following passages.
“Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” Timothy 2:11-14
“For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.” (I Corinthians 11:8-9)
“Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.” (I Corinthians 14:34-35)
I final example as well is to the fact that in the ten commandments it never mentions that thou shalt not covet another woman’s husband only expresses the rights of the husband.
Before any christian uses their same old excuse but those were the times in that day in age, I will educate you in that we are still in these times on the little planet earth and you do no service to humankind to give your religion any special excuses because after all we are talking about religious law not secular.
You got it? Well,get it………..
