This year marked 5 years since the public killing of Avijit Roy in Bangladesh. Roy was the creator of "Mukto Mona," a blog for free thinking, Atheist Bangladeshis. He, and other public atheists in Bangladesh, frequently received death threats for their writing. In February, 2015,

Roy was attacked by machete-wielding Islamic extremists. Ansarullah Bangla Team, a terrorist organization in BD, took responsibility for his death. As Bangladesh continues to become more conservative and fundamentalist, when will we tell ourselves that Islamic extremism is

A growing phenomenon in the country? It is not Islamophobic to say that this fundamentalism contributes to the censorship of society, and has led to the deaths of prolific writers in Bangladesh. And let's not forget the public lynching of Xulhas Mannan, the only openly gay

Writer in Bangladesh. He was also hacked to death for his writing and homosexuality in 2016. Bangladeshis are increasingly homophobic, and it'a wild to me to see openly homophobic Bangladeshi Muslims, specifically from the UK. Islamic extremism is a cancer that continues

To spread in Bangladesh. If it is not checked on soon, we will begin to look at a country that bans Pohela Boyshak, the Sari, music, and continues lynch free thinkers and humanists. NOT my Bangladesh.
