Thread: Taslima Nasrin: Bengali writer on the run from Islam

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taslima_Nasrin

Taslima's first fatwah was issued against her for publicly criticizing the following execution in muslim Bangladesh:

the "execution in 1993 of a twenty-one-year-old woman at the behest of a local mullah. Declaring the young woman's second marriage a violation of Islamic law, the mullah gathered the villagers together. First burying her waist deep in a pit, they stoned her with more than one hundred stones. Islamic fundamentalists issued a fatwa and offered a bounty for Taslima's death.[3]"

Not only was she forced to leave her native Bangladesh, but has been forced to repeatedly move around India to avoid being killed by muslims in India.

Thanks to Shapka for informing me about this woman. Her story needs to be known.

He's a great interview Irshad Manji did with her a while back:
