Unbelievable but true -- and perhaps indicative of changing times.

Online readers of a Pakistan-based newspaper in small numbers so far have hailed the Supreme Court’s judgment on Tuesday that gave Jamaat leader Abdul Quader Molla death penalty for crimes against humanity during 1971 Liberation War.
One said “Bangladesh is now a country with a clear vision, courage and determination”.
“They should not worry about criticism from the West and carry out the death sentence as quickly as possible,” the reader “Raj” commented on “The Express Tribune”.
Its report was headlined “War crimes: Bangladesh court imposes death sentence on Jamaat-e-Islami leader”.
Bangladesh won its independence in 1971 from Pakistan after nine-month of bloody war.
The Jamaat-e-Islami which was a part of its parent body in Pakistan supported the Pakistani brutal military effort to crush the Liberation War.
The current Awami League-led government started the trial for crimes against humanity during the war. The Pakistan Jamaat protested the verdict against former Bangladesh Jamaat chief Ghulam Azam which gave him 90 years in prison.
By 7pm, at least eight readers commented on the story.
In the comment section, a reader identified as “Muhammad Saim” also demanded justice for Pakistan Jamaat. “Wish Supreme Court of Pakistan brings JI Pakistan to justice too! List of crimes against humanity is too long to wait”.
“A killer is a killer, no matter he kills in the name of Allah!!,” Muhammad Saim again wrote.
“The Bangladeshis are braver than we are in Pakistan,” another reader ‘Rabia’ wrote.
Raj further commented “I wish Pakistan opens its eyes now!”
Another reader Parvez wrote: “Credit goes to the Bangladesh Court for doing the right thing………it clearly shown the intent and direction the country wishes to take”.
Jamaat-e-Islami has called 48-hour shutdown in Bangladesh protesting the verdict.
- Jamaat e Islami, is a radical organization supported by the Pakistani ISI and was responsible for war criminals.
- It is supported by America, Saudi Arabia and to a lesser degree, Turkey.
- They carried out horrific war crimes, including massacres of villages, torture, rape and organizing of brothels for Pakistani soldiers with Muslim Bengali women as sex slaves.
Ali Al-Ghamdi and the Saudi Gazette who have been active in anti-Bangladeshi propaganda to ensure Jamaati war criminals are not punished.
Saudi Arabia is criticized in Pakistan and around the world for sponsoring radicalism and extremism. The Saudi regime is a fervent supporter of Jamaat e "Islami" operating in Bangladesh and Jamaati war criminals.
The notorious war criminal, Ghulam Azam, the former leader of the Jamaat e Islami wing in Bangladesh, who recieves Saudi support.
Azam's son. Jamaat have threatened Bangladeshis with expulsion of expatriate workers earning a livelihood in the gulf in an attempt to blackmail Bangladesh from taking action against Jamaati war criminals. The Saudi regime organizes police harassment of Bangladeshi workers whenever there is an Awami League government in Dhaka
Indonesian military. Like Bangladesh, Indonesia was the target of Saudi bullying. However Indonesia is the richest country in the Muslim world (biggest economy i.e. GDP), one of the most powerful militaries and has made it clear to the Saudi regime in Riyadh that it will not tolerate being pushed around by this regime. Bangladesh is following the same path as Indonesia i.e. democratization, economic growth and is also developing its army and geo-strategic influence to prevent itself from being bullied.
Indonesian protest against Saudi brutality to expatriate workers.
Jakarta skyline. Indonesia's growing affluence is leading to greater self-confidence in defending the rights of its citizens from regimes like Saudi Arabia.
Bangladesh should work with Indonesia to ensure that regimes like Saudi Arabia cannot continue to harass and abuse Muslim expatriate workers in the gulf.
