Atheists and Families Threatened in Britain...

Met Police Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe has personally intervened following a series of death threats and sinister break-ins at the Britons homes. The intimidation even includes the targeting of fundraising efforts for the victims of the Bangladesh building disaster. We will eliminate your entire ancestry, one fundraiser was told in an anonymous Facebook message. Another threat from Facebook user Islam Power reads: We will exterminate all the atheists like you who work against Islam. Final warning. The 10 bloggers, singers, writers and charity workers have been denounced as atheists, a condemnation some worry will be taken as a cue by jihadists for assassination. The threats are linked to the volatile politics of Bangladesh where dozens of activists have been murdered in recent weeks. Security experts fear the violence might be exported as bloodshed on Britains streets. The 10 on the hit list are leaders of the UK arm of the Shahbag campaign calling for justice against those accused of war crimes during the 1971 independence struggle with Pakistan. The alleged war criminals, whose atrocities included genocide, rape and murder of academics and journalists, were pro-Pakistan. Many have since become leaders of the Islamist Jamaat e Islami party, which wants an Islamic republic of Bangladesh. They accuse the current legal process against them in Bangladesh as being politically tainted. More than 60 people have been killed since February during clashes between Shahbag and Jamaat activists in Bangladeshs capital, Dhaka. One popular Shahbag blogger was murdered by a man wielding a machete for alleged insults against Islam. Last Sunday, dozens of riot police were on duty in case of violence in Whitechapel, east London, where there have also been regular protests. Scotland Yard is now studying a dossier of evidence detailing the recent threats against the UK activists.
