Ruling Awami League-backed Islamist groups on Saturday demanded enactment of a law making provisions for death sentence for atheist bloggers to stop writings demeaning Islam and its prophet on blogs, websites and social media.

The atheists are maligning Islam and its prophet in newspapers, books, social media and websites, the release said. They said that no step was taken against the atheists including ‘Taslima Nasrin, Salman Rushdi and Daud Haider who had crossed the limit.’

They also demanded ban on all sort of entertainment programmes particularly dance. They also demanded ban on text books of schools containing statements against Islam and Quran.
