A comment telling us that this type of murder is more common in the culture where the victim comes from than the culture local to where he was murdered without passing value judgement hardly seems like flame bait to me.

"the culture where the victim comes" - The article didn't mention a single word about bangladesh, so why bring it up? By the way, even that information is totally false, he NEVER lived in bangladesh, so he doesn't even come from that culture. It clearly says that he was a New York tech entrepreneur.

His family is Bangladeshi, and his startup was founded in Bangladesh.

He was still not born in Bangladesh nor did he live there, but he lived and grew up in America. This article didn't mention a single word of Bangladesh, it was still mentioned by the root comment merely for ideological purposes.

Sure, and all OP wrote is

> (his original country)

Though it's not 100% correct, it's easy to see how someone's family coming from there would be summarized as their "original country."

> it was still mentioned by the root comment merely for ideological purposes.

What ideology? All the OP pointed out was that this person had strong ties to Bangladesh, both in heritage in business, and that extremists from that country use the same technique for murder as this man suffered. That seems clearly like relevant context.

No he didn't, can you quote that part for us please?

Because if he (had) come from there it's possible someone from there was the one who killed him (or had him killed and got to choose how) hence making the dismemberment make more sense since it's an odd thing to see in a random murder.

>By the way, even that information is totally false, he NEVER lived in bangladesh, so he doesn't even come from that culture. It clearly says that he was a New York tech entrepreneur.

Ok then, my bad. The greater point still stands.

No the 'greater point' does not stand, this has achieved nothing and did not contribute to anything except a toxic political blame game for ideological purposes, which violates the rules of ycombinator.
