Bangladesh: Muslim who stabbed writer worked for “Quran Sunnah Research Center,” says “I am working for Islam”

On March 10, the Geller Report brought you the story of the stabbing in Bangladesh of sci-fi writer Muhammad Zafar Iqbal, who was stabbed by Foyzur Rahman because Rahman considered him an “enemy of Islam.”

This is the new normal in Bangladesh. Over the past few years, the South Asian country has seen a epidemic of ghastly, murderous attacks on atheist bloggers, academics, religious minorities and foreign aid workers by devout Muslims who mean to impose the most brutal ideology on the face of the earth — the sharia.

“Online materials, sermons drew him into militancy,” by Mohammad Jamil Khan, Daily Star, March 9, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Foyzur Rahman, who attacked Prof Muhammed Zafar Iqbal on March 3, stepped into militancy listening to Jashimuddin Rahmani’s sermons and reading contents of “Dawahilallah”, said investigators yesterday.

“Dawahilallah” is a blog run by followers of Ansar Al Islam, formerly Ansarullah Bangla Team, and Rahmani, now in jail, is the chief of the militant outfit.

Foyzur was placed on a 10-day remand yesterday. He could not be produced before a court earlier as he was recovering from the mob beating that day….

Police officials said Foyzur’s uncles Abdul Jaher and Abdul Sadi and elder brother Abul Hassan, all living in Kuwait, were followers of salafism and they had motivated him since 2016….

Foyzur worked for “Moin Computers” and “Quran Sunnah Research Centre” of Sylhet and a number of his colleagues were followers of salafism, claimed investigators, adding that he wanted to marry off one of his sisters to his co-worker called Chamon, a salafist.

Chamon is on the run.

Police Headquarters and counterterrorism officials said most of the militant suspects they have so far arrested or had been killed during police action were salafists.

Md Moniruzzaman, additional deputy inspector general (intelligence and special) of Police Headquarter, told The Daily Star that salafists are ultra conservatives and are susceptible to being misguided with incorrect interpretation of Islam.

The suspect joined “Dawahilallah” and used to follow instructions from there, a high official of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC), involved in the investigation, told The Daily Star.

Foyzur also followed Ansar Al Islam channels in messenger app Telegram, said official requesting anonymity, quoting the suspect during primary interrogation and technical evidence.

According to them, Foyzur downloaded all booklets and content on attack techniques from the blog.

Three months ago, he became a member of a Gym paying Tk 1,650 as one of the booklets said “jihadist should have a strong body”. He, however, stopped going to the gym but bought a particular knife from Al-Hamra market in Sylhet following a booklet, investigators claimed.

Foyzur during primary interrogation told detectives that after going through posts in “Dawahilallah”, he reached the conclusion that Prof Muhammed Zafar Iqbal was “an enemy of Islam” and that he had taken it upon himself to act as the professor lived close by….

On March 3, Foyzur went to Sylhet University of Science and Technology on a bicycle and played football on a campus pitch. While returning, he noticed a banner for a programme in which Prof Zafar Iqbal would be in, said investigators quoting Foyzur and analysing CCTV footage….

He made his way on to the stage and behind the professor and attacked him with the knife, CTTC officials said quoting Foyzur.

Foyzur allegedly told investigators that he had no regrets for the attack. “I was prepared for any result as I am working for Islam,” said investigators quoting Foyzur….

I’d be more interested to find out what kind of punishment he’s going to receive and whether or not he’ll actually be serving out his full sentence or convicted of anything at all.
Reportedly only ONE f’ing muslum was punished for the genocide of upwards of 2.5 million Hindus (and the rape of thousands of Hindu women) in the 1970’s in Bangladesh.

His ‘punishment’ will be little more than a slap on the wrist just to keep the kafir off the stench of Islam. If he serves any time in prison at all it’ll be as a hero.
