Are the slaughters in Bangladesh related to anxiety about sea level rise?

Maybe I am totally off about this, but Bangladesh is at such intense and imminent risk from sea level rise that I think the anxiety must go somewhere and be bled off somehow. They seem to know the risk they face on a factual level as well.

I don't see the link with sea level rise - this is just the same extremist backlash against rising secularism that we are seeing elsewhere in the Islamic world.

It's also a very crowded country, with a very troubled and short history, with very little expertise in self-governance. And the geopolitical environment is rather toxic I believe. In particular, the country is probably still deeply affected by the situation in Pakistan.

Sea level rise? No. Rise of secularism and/or atheism? Yes. This terrifies many religious people. When all you can do is hack up your opponents, that's a pretty clear signal that 1) You're afraid and 2) Have no real counter-argument supporting your beliefs.

ETA: 3) It also shows me pretty convincingly that the attackers believe in what they say they believe.

So we have it then. When your deity doesn't provide as promised in whatever great book of your God you use you blame peoples that don't believe?
