    Some background here, and here.

    There's also a Wiki

    At root, this is the result of poor and poorly educated people being manipulated by cynical fundamentalists who are at least tolerated, and likely supported, by elements of the ruling class.

    Bangladesh is a desperately sad country.

      This has happened several times in Bangladesh. There was a blogger stabbed to death by a mob a few weeks ago for 'insulting Islam'.

      I mentioned it on the Charlie Hebdo thread.

          No comment on OTF so far about the honour killing of Qandeel Baloch who was strangled in her bed by one of her brothers who believed she was a disgrace to Islam.

          I know the usual #notallmuslims caveats apply and it's not 'true' Islam (whatever that is) but this is a very sad story.

            We really should stop using the phrase 'honour killing'. It makes it sound like something apart. It's not. It's killing.

              It's more than killing though. It's 'killing in the name of' .

                Yeah I wasn't sure where to post it. I veered towards adding it to a thread I remembered as relevant as I find it helpful to group things.
