Professor Hacked to Death by Islamist in Bangladesh for Opposing Veils

“Suspected Islamic militants have hacked to death a university professor in Bangladesh, several years after he led a push to ban students wearing full-face veils. Police were questioning two people over the murder near Rajshahi University in the west of the Muslim-majority country where the victim was a professor of sociology, a senior officer said. The victim, Professor Shafiul Islam, followed the folk sect Baul, popular in parts of western Bangladesh, whose members call themselves followers of humanism rather than a particular religion. Teachers and secular students protested by blocking roads and boycotting classes in Rajshahi city shortly after hearing the news of the murder. ‘We are working on several possible motives behind the killing,’ Rajshahi police commissioner Mahbubur Rahman told AFP, but the ‘main focus’ was that the murder was carried out by Islamist militants. A previously unknown Islamist group calling itself the Ansar al Islam Bangladesh-2 claimed responsibility for the killing. ‘Our Mujahideens have today murdered an apostate who had prohibited female students from wearing veils in his department and the classrooms,’ a posting said. ‘Beware all the anti-Islamic apostates and atheists!’”
