Life, death and free speech

Another blogger has been hacked to death in Bangladesh over ideological differences, being the third such case there in the last two years. The killers identified as madrasah students. In a situation like this, one wonders what is the price of life? Free speech has no value, neither does an innocent life. The person dead leaves behind broken dreams and broken families while the killers think that they are the crusaders and saviors of their religion. What really matters is that precious lives are lost, hopes and dreams are crushed and people are becoming the killers of humanity. It is time that the madrasahs that are breeding killers are banned. The values of freedom are inculcated. And people should have a right to disagree peacefully.
