{UAH} BUDHIST MONK THROAT SLIT IN BANGLA DESH

Ahmed Kateggaga,

Here is another bloody statistic, another brutal murder of an elderly
man by Islamic terrorists. He is the 17th person to have been murdered
in Bangla Desh in the last 10 days. The others have either been
Marxists, Atheists, Non-Believers, Ahmadi Muslims or Christians. The
killings have been claimed by an islamic group that wants to establsih
an Islamic caliphate in Bangla Desh and has vowed to either convert or
kill all Non-Believers. Please ask them to stop this madness. We need
a peaceful world where we respect differences in belief and religion.

Thank You,


Bobby


Elderly Buddhist monk hacked to death in Bangladesh
14 May 2016 Police in Bangladesh say a 75-year-old Buddhist monk has
been hacked to death in the south-eastern district of Bandarban.

An official said the monk's body was found inside a Buddhist temple.

It is the latest in a spate of murders of religious minorities,
secular activists and academics.

More than 20 people have been killed by suspected Islamists in the
last three years.

Is violent extremism on the rise in Bangladesh?

Who is behind the killings?

Lurching from secularism to sectarian terror?

Police said Maung Shue U Chak appeared to have been attacked by at
least four people at the temple in Baishari, 350km (220 miles)
south-east of the capital Dhaka.

His killing follows the murder of two prominent gay activists, a law
student and a university professor in April.

In February a Hindu priest was beheaded in northern Bangladesh.

The so-called Islamic State (IS) group and a Bangladeshi militant
group affiliated to al-Qaeda have said they carried out some of the
killings.

IS has also said it carried out attacks on Shia Muslim mosques and
shrines as well as the killings of two foreigners - an Italian aid
worker and a Japanese farming expert - last year.

Earlier this month Singapore deported eight Bangladeshis it said were
members of a group set up in March called Islamic State in Bangladesh
(ISB) and were plotting attacks in their homeland.

However the Bangladeshi government denies there is an IS presence in
the country.

Muslim-majority Bangladesh is officially secular but critics say the
government has failed to take appropriate action in the wake of the
attacks.
