Pastor Beheaded for Evangalizing Muslims

Topics: Understanding Islam

Another beheading by more Islamists in yet another country. Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh is the largest and most influential Islamic political party in Bangladesh. Supposedly, It is an ideological party that advocates for a greater role of Islam in public life. The party claims as it's main objective, the establishment of Deen or Islamic social order through ethical, peaceful, constructive, democratic, and constitutional means. These guys are from a "mainstream" political party in Bangladesh!

Did you read the word "peaceful?" Here again we have the so-called proponents of peace(according to them), belonging to a supposed "peaceful" religion(again, according to them), beheading someone for not believing as they do(a non-Muslim).

A Baptist pastor and evangelist was found beheaded in Jalalpur, a village in the district of Khulna, south-western Bangladesh on 8th March and the murder was confirmed recently, according to AsiaNews.it.

The 35-year-old pastor from the Bangladesh Free Baptist Church, Dulal Sarkar, was believed to have been killed by Muslim extremists who had threatened his family because he discussed his faith with some Muslim villagers.

According to AsiaNews.it, Pastor Sarkar, who served as a guard and general caretaker for the local church, had attempted to evangelise Muslim villagers and brought them to his church to talk with the senior pastor.

The murder occurred on 8th March on his way home after he talked to some Muslim villagers. He was reported to have been attacked by group of armed men. Sources say that it was a group of ten local Muslim extremists who later "separated his head from his body", AsiaNews.it wrote.   

Immediately after the murder, Pastor Sarkar's wife filed a police report. Currently, seven out of the ten suspects are still free, according to AsiaNews.it. Local Christians believed that they are connected with the Jamaat-e-Islami political party (link inserted by hyscience) and even tried to bribe the police to get the three detained members out of jail.

Pastor Sarkar's wife has also now been threatened by the extremists and forced to move from house to house in an effort to protect herself and her children.
