Not just murdered but hacked. With a knife. By theists who dont like athiests and free speech. Happened in Bengladesh
Got a link? I would like to see this
Nevermind. I found the story. Ok well it's fucking Bangladesh, brother. Going to a nation that embraces extremist Islam and saying "Muhammad sucks" is like bringing a hooker to an evangelical church. What the hell do you think is going to happen? This isn't about theists, it's about Islamic terrorism.
Gotta say, brother. Pretty lame when I have to provide the link to your OP. Shame.
Yet another Bangladeshi blogger hacked to death - CNN.com
From this article:
Das was an atheist who contributed to Mukto Mona ("Free Thinkers"), the blog that Roy founded.The (second) video says he blogged for a site described as "a congregation of free thinkers, rationalists, skeptics and atheists".
Mukto Mona contains sections titled "Science" and "Rationalism," and most of the articles hold science up to religion as a litmus test, which it invariably fails.
While Das was critical of fundamentalism, in Islam and other religions, and of the attacks on secular thinkers, he was mostly concerned with championing science.
He was the editor of a local science magazine, Jukti ("Reason"), and wrote several books, including one work on Charles Darwin.
In 2006, the blog awarded Das its Rationalist Award for his "deep and courageous interest in spreading secular & humanist ideals and messages in a place which is not only remote, but doesn't have even a handful of rationalists."
The point is that Sealy was generalizing. He didn't say "Islamic extremists hack an atheist to death", he said "theists". Technically true, but deceptive. It suggests that the problem is indicative of the religious community in general instead of an extremist element in an extremist environment.

More like another anti-Muslim blogger was killed by Muslims, dude. It's not the Christians, Jews, Hindus or whomever going around killing these bloggers.
It's still unhinged zealot religious fanaticism, is it not?
The denomination is of little relevance. Fanaticism is fanaticism. The OP left a lot out, but his assessment of "theists who dont like athiests and free speech" does in fact hold true. Sometimes we have to stop looking at the tree and see the forest it's part of.
As I said. Technically, his statement is true, but it is an attempt to deceive. It's like saying "see his black lady who posted on facebook that all cops should die? Well that's what she said and she is black so all black people must feel that all cops should die". Sealy is pointing to an extremist fringe element in an extremist environment and categorizing the religious community as whole.
