Welcome to Blitz, a newspaper with a distinctive difference!

Blitz is an independent newspaper, established in 2003 for the purpose of presenting balanced coverage of events. Since inception, we have been vigorously confronting radical Islam and militancy; denouncing antisemitism and Holocaust denial, and promoting interfaith harmony.

Blitz firmly believes, it is the responsibility of the state not only to protect and defend the citizen but also to create the conditions – political, social, economic, and cultural, in which all citizens may achieve their highest potential as human beings. It is committed to the principle of individual freedom.

Our slogan is – Fears None But God, meaning, we have the audacity of publishing truth against lies and bias. For years, we have been upholding this principle despite extreme adversity. In today’s world of insanity and biased journalism, Blitz possibly is the only newspaper that has been boldly confronting radical Islam. For this reason, it has emerged as the most influential newspaper enjoying credibility and acceptability amongst the policymakers in the world. Because of our investigative reports, Islamist militancy groups such as Hizbut Tahrir, Hizbut Towhid, Khatmey Nabuwat Movement, etcetera were banned in Bangladesh and the West. Blitz has been the first newspaper to expose the notorious activities of Zakir Naik, a radical Islamic preacher, who has now been banned in a number of countries including Bangladesh, Canada, India, and the United Kingdom.

Since inception, we have been vigorously confronting evil actions of the rogue regime of Iran and their patronization of terrorist activities around the world. We are committed in exposing notoriety of the Iranian regime, while we also are putting special emphasis in publishing facts on persecution of religious minorities as well as pro-democracy forces in Iran.

Editor of this newspaper, Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury is a multi-award winning anti-radical Islam and anti-militancy journalist with international acclaim. Under his courageous and dynamic leadership, a team of seasoned journalists is working hard in presenting hard-hitting reports as well as analytical opinion editorials. Columnists from around the world are contributing to this newspaper since its inception.

Blitz truly is a newspaper of international standards published from Bangladesh. It has both print and online editions.

Unfortunately, because of our strict editorial policy of confronting radical Islam, Blitz does not generally get advertisements from the local advertisers as well as anti-Semitic and pro-radical Islam business and service organizations. This has been consistently posing a grave threat to our survival. Facing such financial constraints and challenges, Blitz has been continuing publication simply because of the firm determination of its editor and the team.
