If you’ve been following the news feed over the past week or so, you’ll have noticed that there have been repeated instances of mass violence in Bangladesh prompted by a death sentence handed down against a radical Islamic leader for his acts during the 1971 war of independence. Not surprisingly, the Hindu minority has been on the receiving end of much of the violence/
The following report on the situation in Bangladesh was compiled by the International Civil Liberties Alliance in consultation with International Unity For Equality (IUFE) and posted at the ICLA website.
Jamaat-e-Islami And Mob Violence Against Religious Minorities In Bangladesh
A wave of deadly violence, looting, and arson is currently sweeping across parts of Bangladesh. This follows the sentencing to death of Delwar Hossain Sayedee the Bangladeshi leader of the Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami party. This followed his conviction for war crimes committed during the 1971 War of Independence which included including mass killings, rape and atrocities [1].
The website Struggle for Hindu Resistance suggests that Hindus in Bangladesh have borne the brunt of the Jamaat-e-Islami violence that followed the court’s decision. It shows a graphic picture of a Hindu child with severe flesh wounds allegedly inflicted by the Jamaat-e-Islami mob. WARNING: The image which is prominently place on the article is very graphic and very upsetting but the article, with the image, can be seen on the Struggle for Hindu Existence website — view at your own risk HERE ) [2].
Given its rhetoric in favour of religious freedom one would expect the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation to be speaking out vociferously against the actions of the Islamist group Jamaat-e-Islami in Bangladesh. However, sadly, this does not appear to have been the case. An article on the website of the Center for Islamic Pluralism states:
“It is important to note that the OIC — the Organization of Islamic Cooperation — has not stepped forth to support the landmark effort of the Bangladesh War Crimes Tribunal in bringing individuals to indictment for war crimes committed in 1971. On the contrary, the President of Turkey, Abdullah Gül, is on record a having written to the President of Bangladesh an improper letter in flagrant violation of diplomatic protocol or respect for the independence of the Tribunal in a sovereign country, asking for suspension of the Tribunal with forgiveness for those accused of war crimes.” [3]
To ask for clemency for someone who has been sentenced to death would have been a reasonable and humane demand. It would be something worthy of support. However, to effectively demand a pardon (implied by the quote above) is something quite different and is something that perhaps suggests a concealed agenda on the part of the OIC. Does the OIC sympathise with the idea of creating a Mughalistan? It would not be beyond the realms of possibility that the Mughalistan project would be favoured by groups like Jamaat-e-Islami.
Jamaat-e-Islami did not support the separation of Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) in 1971 during the war of independence [4]. The vociferousness of the OIC with regard to supposedly offensive references to the Prophet of Islam and the relative silence on issues relating to the current violence in Bangladesh shows the OIC in its true colours.
Islamism seems to be well-ensconced in Bangladesh just as it was during the atrocities in 1971. The verdict in relation to the 1971 atrocities has been followed by new atrocities. It appears that the impulses of 1971 are apparently still present in contemporary Bangladesh.
The OIC, which lectures the world about religious freedom and demands punishment for those who insult the Prophet of Islam, seems to be willing to forgive and forget when it comes to acts of religiously inspired genocide committed by Islamists. This is yet another example of their potentially sinister motives when it comes to addressing the serious problem of religious persecution at the global level. It would appear that the OIC actually wants to expand the scope of sharia rather than bring an end to religious persecution. If this were not the case then one would expect them to be speaking out about the atrocities in Bangladesh both past and present.
We must commend the Government of Bangladesh in going against the grain as an OIC member state by trying to show the distinction between Islam and Islamism, something that the OIC is obviously unwilling to do. Ironically, as political leaders in Bangladesh are trying to solve their country’s problems by going against OIC dogma, Western politicians are falling over themselves to do the OIC’s bidding.
It is a pity that the UN Alliance of Civilizations meeting that took place last week did not address the problem of Islamist violence. But then why would it? Like the UN Human Rights Council and the OIC it is yet another platform to propose, and perhaps in the future enforce, adherence to sharia principles.
It is time for a renaissance of individual human rights. However, the current international institutions who should be working towards this goal are unable or unwilling to protect even the most basic human rights. Instead they are bogged down considering appropriate punishment for thought crimes and the politically motivated grievances of the powerful OIC bloc which appears to have an agenda to replace individual human rights with rights under sharia.

Muslims, practically from the moment Mo’ died, have been a fractious crowd.
Because of the looseness that surrounds their sub-sects may I suggest that the GoV establish a Web dictionary — much in the manner of the Urban Dictionary — so that critical terms stabilize?
Islamism = Islam + Communism
Because of the filter effect of Leftist MSM agiprop, mass publications almost alway omit the Communist philosophies embedded within today’s Islamist circles. The truth is, however, that Islamist ‘house publications’ are larded with Communist agitprop — topics and crusades that Mo’ knew nothing of. Such common themes are a H U G E reason why Leftists and Islamists travel together in an anti-liberal crusade. (Liberal in its 18th Century sense.)
This is to be seen in the Nork-Iranian axis.
The new-wave Khomeinist clique in Tehran was and still is massively influenced by the Leftist agitation picked up in Paris, decades ago. In the early days of the revolution, Khomeini’s kids were A L L Leftist indoctrinated – and oft interviewed on the McNeil-Lehrer News Hour. Nary an Islamic theme was discussed. Socialist ‘economic rights’ was the order of the hour.
Enver Hoxha (d. 1985) and Yasser Arafat (d. 2004) are the embodiement of Islamism. In both cases, they spent more time with the bullet than the book.
Both Shia and Sunni can fuse with Marxism to generate Islamism. In which case we have a repetition of the scissim between the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks. Such is man, eternal.
Islamism is in curious contrast to Wahhabism.
Wahhabism was, and is, a fanatical sect of Islam; so harsh that it’s prohibitted in most Islamic nations. (!) It is paramount within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. With the advent of oil riches, the Saudis, in succession, have funded the export of this ultra-Arabist, ultra-suppremist creed to the USA. ( 80% of America mosques are Wahhabists, the US Army’s imams are Wahhabists — 100% at last tally. They had been vetted by Anwar Awlaki.)(!)
When Saddam needed to kiss up to the Saudi royals — he permitted Wahhabist imams into Iraq — f i n a l l y. (1992 +) Until his defeat, they were excluded. Likewise, Kuwait would not permit any Wahhabist mosques.
For all of Europe’s troubles, there are very, very, few Wahhabist mosques there. Non-Whahhabist imams hate them, of course, and thwart them at every turn. The general public is not even aware that there is a conflict between Wahhabism and the rest of the Sunnis. Other fanatical sects are often conflated as being in league. As if!
Here and there, some Wahhabist imams got the ball rolling in far away places, such as Indonesia. Buraq studied in a Wahhabist institution. That’s why his Shahada was spoken in p e r f e c t (Saudi Arabian) Arabic.
( He can speak Arabic fluently, but keeps that quiet. The LA Times has him tossing out some public address words in Arabic before Said and company in LA — years ago — but suppresses the video.)
Since both Wahhabists and Islamists are both utterly fanatical — and both proffer the same Koran as their bedrock — it all gets very confusing for the Western public.
Hence, I recommend that the GoV also craft a ‘Brand Web Page.’ It should have logos, the big men, flags, and sect affiliations. If set up in a Wiki style, most of the input could be, should be, crowd sourced.
In fact, Hizb-ut-Tahrir is easily to the left of most left-wing parties in Europe, who tend to the right in economics.
One thing I noticed about the map of “Mughalistan”… it seems that Bhutan is left completely untouched by the green… Given Bhutan’s notorious “closed-mindedness” in the face of “cultural enrichment” (of all varieties), is this partly proof that the more “open” one is to other cultures – the greater the risk of the Global Caliphate one day encroaching on your territory??

NOT ONLY IN BANGLADESH, PROSCRIBE BLASPHEMY LAW ALL OVER THE WORLD. THIS WORLD IS NOT FOR MUSLIMS ONLY.
Press Note [http://wp.me/pCXJT-30d ]. The radical Islamic force of Bangladesh in the new name of Hifazat-e-Islam with the crude fundamental support of Hizbut-e-Tahirir and Jaamat-e-Islami have launched an war in Bangladesh to introduce Blashphemy Law there. These fanatic Muslim organisations want to 100% shariah law in Bangladesh to give an energy to Talibanize Bangladesh and to save the life of a sentenced to death War Criminal, Delwar Hossain Sayeedi and would be sentenced others from Razakar and Islamist groups. Bangladesh, an absurd offshoot of the situation of so called secular country with a 90 percent Muslim population and a state religion of Islam, has seen a surge in violence between Islamists and government forces since the start of the year, when a court began handing down war crimes verdicts (hanging order for War Criminal Delwar Hossain Sayeedi) related to the 1971 independence conflict and the demand of introducing blasphemy law in Bangladesh. IN THIS WAY THE MUSLIMS ARE FIGHTING TOOTH AND NAIL BETWEEN MUSLIMS WITHIN ISLAMIC COUNTRIES TO DESTROY THE PEACE OF OTHERS. ACTUALLY ISLAM IS A BULLSHIT OF PROFANED BARBARISM. SAY NOT TO RADICAL ISLAM AND BLASPHEMY LAW. RADICAL ISLAM AND BLASPHEMY LAW CAN MAKE A GRAVE YARD OF ALL FREE THINKING AND PEACE LOVING SOCIETY. ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION OF PEACE, BUT SURLY A RELIGION OF PIECE. SEE THIS SITUATION IN BANGLADESH AT PRESENT AND FEEL THE REALITY.
We apprehend an upcoming onslaught upon the minorities (mainly Hindu-Buddhist-Christian) of Bangladesh. Minorities of Bangladesh are the soft target of the Islamist. We must save the Minorities of Bangladesh. Upananda Brahmachari. Kolkata. 6 April 2013.
