UPDATE::Don’t hurt religious sentiment, IGP to bloggers | Dhaka Tribune

Bangladeshi authorities, the local law enforcement officials, have issued a solution to the "problem" of atheist bloggers being hacked to death:
Terming hurting one's religious sentiment as crime, Inspector General of Police (IGP) has advised the free thinkers not to hurt religious sentiment in their writings.

IGP AKM Shahidul Haque said: “According to laws if any one hurts one's feelings, he will be punished by the law.”
Advising the free thinkers, IGP said: “None should cross the limit.”

According to Penal Code and ICT Act, hurting one's religious sentiment is a crime and according to the law one might be punished for 14 years for such offense, said the police chief.

The IGP held a press briefing at Police Headquarters in Dhaka on Sunday afternoon in the wake of criticism against police following the brutal killing of blogger Niladri Chatterjee NIloy.
If only those atheists stopped criticizing religion,,sigh!!
