Apostate Teachers Gaoled in Bangladesh.

'Narrated Ikrima: Ali burnt some people & this news reached Ibn Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.'"' So it says in Islam's most authoritative compilation of ahadith, Sahih Bukhari, in volume four, book 52, number, 260.

This is why we see ex-Muslims living in fear in Western societies. It is why we see atheist bloggers being hacked to death in formerly secular, but rapidly Islamising, Bangladesh. The penalty for rejecting the filth of Islam is death. Thus we may surmise that the educational professionals gaoled for insulting religion, as reported by NewsX today (hat-tip to Stephen Gash @Stephen_Gash) had a lucky escape:

Teachers booked for insulting Islam in Bangladesh

A Bangladesh court has jailed two teachers for making derogatory comments about Islam and the Prophet Muhammad.

Magistrate Anwar Parvez said the case began after two students at Hijla High School in Bagerhat district complained that the assistant teacher of a science class on Sunday dismissed the Quran as the word of Allah and said there was no heaven, reports media.

The students, aged 17 to 18, along with others from a nearby, Islamic school became infuriated after the high school's head teacher backed up his colleague.

Parvez said that the teachers lock themselves in a room until police intervened as a mob including students, parents and villagers attacked them.

"The situation went out of control, the mob wanted to take law in their hands," said Parvez.

Following the rage, the magistrate of the quick-ruling court said the assistant teacher pleaded guilty of publicly insulting religion, and both the teachers were sentenced to six months behind bars.

The Muslim-majority country has been witnessing rise in the cases of attacks on atheist writers, religious minorities and activists who make use of their freedom of speech.

In a recent incident, two men including the editor of a gay rights magazine were hacked to death.
