Another blogger who wrote against religious fundamentalism hacked to death by Islamists in Dhaka. RIP :((

Didn't Bangladesh recently decide to reject secularism, and remain officially a Islamic state. So I guess murders like in OP are kosher in Bangladesh, hence intolerance doesn't come into question. Because any state that is officially Islamic is also intolerant. Non-Muslim travellers and foreign investors to Bangladesh should be wary before travelling to Bangladesh.
kosingh Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Awful statement by bangladeshi government official in response...he basically blames the blogger " "You call for a threat when you are hurting someone's religious feelings," Huq said. "It's natural. Of course, we accept freedom of expression. We are willing to protect it. The thing is, it should be responsible enough not to hurt others' feelings."
