Publishers, writers, and bloggers in Bangladesh have had enough of their colleagues being executed simply for expressing secular beliefs and critiquing Islam.

The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) claimed its militants murdered a Japanese tourist in northern Bangladesh over the weekend. The murder comes only five days after the radical Islamic group claimed responsibility for the murder of an Italian in Dhaka.

Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) claims that the two hostages who were killed in a U.S. drone strike in January, one American and one Italian, converted to Islam prior to their death, reports a jihadist activity monitor group.
