BLOGGERS FACING DEATH THREATS FOR MUZZLE CRITICISING ME NOT FUNDAMENTALISM OF ISLAM Eera, an anonymous online atheist blogger, has been facing threats and intimidation from Islamic fundamentalists for supporting minorities and criticizing Islamic fundamentalism. In July last year, Eera published several videos and blog posts on the online liberal blogging platform Fadewblogs, protesting the persecution of Bangladesh's minority Buddhist community in Rangunia, a town in the southeastern part of the country. One of Eera's blogs featured the apparent vandalism of a Buddhist statue under construction in a Buddhist monastery in Rangunia. Eera claimed that the attackers were supported by forest officials and the local MP of the AL party because they wanted to evict the monks from the area. After Eera published her videos and articles, Islamist groups protested against the blogger and accused her of damaging religious harmony between Muslims and Buddhists.
