  • Jamaat e "Islami" watch

    In this thread I will monitor the notorious "Jamaat e Islami" political party which operates in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

    Jamaat e Islami are considered enemies of Pashtuns by Pashtun nationalists and enemies of Bangladesh by Bangladeshi nationalists.

    INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

    Jamaat e Islami is an organization founded by controversial Indian writer, Maudoodi. Maudoodi was from Hyderabad and was originally vehemently against the creation of Pakistan whilst someone for example Mujibur Rahman (the head of the Awami League in Bangladesh that gained independence for the country) was a supporter of the Pakistan project.

    Maudoodi is rejected by:

    - Deobandi
    - Salafi / Ahlul Hadith
    - Barelvi

    and other scholars, and fatawa (legal verdicts) have been issued against him.

    The party in the past was the main party for Pakistan's "Mohajirs" (Indian-origin migrants) who not having their own indigenous land/province in Pakistan and thus regional nationalism, believed in a pan-Muslim nationalism to solidify the Pakistan project and to direct people's support from regional nationalism to a common pan-Pakistani nationalism.

    If Sindhis for example became nationalistic this posed a threat to Mohajirs who were migrants to their land, Sindh.

    JI (Jamaat e Islami) in Bangladesh

    Jamaat e Islami was heavily involved in the war crimes, rape and genocide in east Pakistan in 1971 for which the Bangladeshi wing of the party refuses to apologize.

    The Bangladeshi wing, is very influential in the middle east where it lobbied for many years after 1971 for gulf countries not to recognize Bangladesh peddling lies such as Bangladesh was run by Hindus, mosques were being destroyed etc.

    Such wild lies ironically coming from an "Islamic" party are characteristic of the party's modus operandi. The party in Bangladesh is also violent and has a "student" wing which engages in urban terrorism i.e. rioting.

    However a recent Economist article stated that Jamaat's level of support in Bangladesh is now around 1% .

    In a recent opinion poll, only 1% of respondents said they would vote for Jamaat. This compares with an actual 4% share of the popular vote in the 2008 general election

    Though the Jamaat (which in secret still opposes the creation and existence of Bangladesh and wants it to be part of Pakistan again) enjoys very little support it is a threat to Bangladesh for two reasons.

    1. It is supported by Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, both of whom fundamentally do not believe in the existence of an independent and successful Bangladesh.

    Saudi Arabia will use its influence e.g. 2 million workers in Saudi sending much-needed money back to Bangladesh, a poor country to threaten, intimidate and bully Bangladesh.

    2. The Jamaat has an organized network of street thugs which some say is the "muscle" for their bigger coalition partner, the BNP (Bangladesh's 2nd biggest party, now in opposition). Individuals loyal to the Jamaat are for example active in the controversial defence.pk forum where they peddle lies and also promote a heavy anti-India and anti-Hindu agenda.

    Though Jamaat's appeal will decrease with an improving economy, more female empowerment it is the Pak-Saudi axis which supports them that is probably the biggest threat to the Bangladeshi people.

    Jamaati thugs in Bangladesh.



    Jamaatis burn a coach in Bangladesh, in a country where both Jamaatis and their enemies, the Awami League engage in frequent rioting and criminality.



    Jamaatis beat a Bangladeshi policeman.

    Jamaat in Bangladesh are also backed by the Americans which want to use them as the Bangladeshi link in their chain of brotherhood (Ikhwani) style parties across the Muslim world (as Washington DC uses radical Islam to destabilize rivals such as Russia, China and the EU).



    The US' top man in Bangladesh, Dan Mozena, the US ambassador. His regime are well-known supporters of Jamaat e Islami and America supported the 1971 genocide.

    The problem however for the American-Pakistani-Saudi axis is that Jamaat Islami in Bangladesh are hated by most of the country's Islamic scholars who view them as heretics and who hate Maudoodi. Also Bangladeshis in general are of a far more moderate and milder temperament than Pakistanis and are not inclined to extremism or terrorism. Thus in the long run the bad news for the American regime is that Jamaat will not be able to achieve much in Bangladesh, a country whose very existence they sought to unsuccessfully crush.

    JI in Pakistan and Pakhtunkhwa

    Jamaat e Islami in Pakistan are a tool of the military intelligence there and work with other extremists to promote the interests and agenda of the Pakistani military e.g. to destabilize Indian-occupied Kashmir, support militants and extremists in Afghanistan and so forth.

    The Jamaat in Pakistan is considered by some to in effect run the Jamaat in Bangladesh.

    As in Bangladesh it is violent and ready to lie and spread propaganda.

    The Jamaat in Pakhtunkhwa is:

    - Opposed to Pashtun nationalism

    - Has campaigned for the removal of Pashtun heroes in school books in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province recently.

    - Supports the Taliban and terrorism.

    The Jamaat is considered a major enemy of Pashtuns.

      Jamaat terms Hakeemullah a ‘martyr’

      THE NEWSPAPER'S CORRESPONDENT




      MANSEHRA: Jamaat-i-Islami, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has declared Hakeemullah Mehsud and his associates killed in the recent drone strike as martyrs and demanded of the federal government to end its strategic alliance with America.

      “Those killed in the recent drone attack are martyrs as they were eliminated when they were in the process of dialogue for permanent peace in Pakistan. America is following its own agenda without paying heed to the national interests of our country and the drone strike to sabotage the dialogue between the government and Taliban is an eye opener for the so-called patriots,” said Khyber Pakhtunkhwa JI chief Prof Mohammad Ibrahim while speaking to media persons after attending the oath-taking ceremony of zonal and union heads of the party here on Sunday.

      Prof Ibrahim said that as a coalition partner in the KP government his party would support whatever steps the government would take to restrict drone strikes in future.

      He said that the JI had no vendetta with any western country and wanted relations with these countries on the basis of equality and mutual respect.

      He said that the Pakistani rulers should come up with a clear program to challenge the hegemony of America in the region.

      “Now people have started to realise that America is not sincere with Pakistan and it has been protecting its own interests in the region,” he said.

      Earlier, the JI provincial amir administered oath to newly-elected zonal and union heads and asked them to work for the betterment of people and the country through their work.

      He said that masses would support the JI for its pro-people policies. He added that politics should be for a noble cause and helping those in need.

      District JI amir Younus Khattak and Tariq Sherazi also spoke on the occasion.

        I cannot resist myself to comment on this thread although I am not inclined to post in your threads generally but as I said elsewhere I agree with some of your approaches as support for Pashtun nationalism, opposition to Salafism and extremism etc.

        I have first hand experience of working and dealing with Jamaat Islami and have found them to be highly criminal minded, terrorists, extremists, violent and totally against Pashto, Pashtuns and Pashtunwali.

        I have read many books of Maudoodi and there was a time that I was much impressed by his writing but now seeing them closely I hate them absolutely.

        They are the killers of many Pashtuns and other innocent people in Kashmir and Afghanistan. They have introduced Klashnikov culture in Pakistani educational institutions. Their buddies Jamiate islami and Hizbe Islami in Afghanistan are also murderers.

        Today they are ruling in KP, the unlucky Pashtuns are suffering in their rule. PTI is also a duffer to have such an alliance with JI.

        I dont know much of their role in Bangladesh for which your information is appreciated.

          To give you an example of what sort of people we are dealing. Let me quote from a Jamati-supporter from defence.pk who to put it in simple terms "sucks up" to Saudis.

          The following video has caused outrage in Saudi Arabia:

          Saudi Man Violently Beats Asian Worker (Caught On Camera) - YouTube

          The Jamaati-supporter, "Kalu Miah" says:

          Bro, my apologies for such bad behavior by the worker. The worker should not have talked to the guy's wife. But the kind of people that go to do menial jobs, these people do not have the best of manners and ethics, because of the socio-economic level they come from. In Bangladesh also he would get a severe beating, if he talked to someones wife on the phone, by stealing the phone number. If someone try's to make a pass at my wife, I would get pretty mad too. Because of what this guy did, I think he should get some punishment as well and the punishment for the guy who beat him up, should not be as severe, as it was the worker's indiscretion that initiated this mess.
          Man beating in Saudi Arabia raises questions over expat rights in kingdom | Page 5 | Pakistan Defence

          Post 73.

          This sick Jamati supporter, "Kalu_Miah", is a well-known anti-Bangladeshi troll.

          In fact other Jamatis on that Pakistani forum have called for Saudi Arabia to expel Bangladeshi workers from the gulf as pressure against the Bangladeshi government.

          Also with this sort of mentality and contempt for Bengalis and deference to foreign Muslims one can see know why the Jamaat worked to provide sex slaves for the Pakistan army, the sex slaves were Muslim Bengali women who were raped continuously by the Pakistan army and called "right hand possess".

          So whilst "Pashtuns" who join Jamaat give up and renounce their Pashtun identity in favour of a Pakistani identity and the Urdu language, "Bangladeshis" who join Jamaat do the same in favour of a "East Pakistani" identity.

          So this is the sort of organization we are dealing with sponsored by Pakistan and supported by Saudi Arabia and America, which should ultimately be banned in Bangladesh even if they only have 1% support.



          John Kerry and the Saudi regime's foreign minister, both the USA and Saudi Arabia are supporters of Jamaat e Islami in Bangladesh.

              1. Hefazat e Islam are more legitimate and would be respected by most of Bangladesh's conservative majority.

              They are Deobandis who are essentially apolitical. However they were provoked by anti-Islamic and Islamophobic material being published by a network of Islam-haters in Bangladesh during the Shahbagh protests (protests to call for punishment of war criminals i.e. Jamaatis).

              They felt Islam was being attacked, mocked and insulted. So they organized protests.

              2. However Jamaatis tried to hijack the legitimate Hefazat protests for their own agenda and sent some of their gangs there to mix in with legitimate Hefazat protestors.

              Hefazat = beard and moustache / Jamaat = clean shaven

              Hefazat = Islamic clothing /Jamaat = shirts and jeans

              Hefazat = learnt in Islamic sciences / Jamaat = loyal to their political party and not that knowledgable on Islam.

              Hefazat = respected by most Bangladeshis / Jamaat = regarded as traitors and enemies of Bangladesh.

              3. The Deobandis in Bangladesh also come in the form of the Tableeghis.
              The Tableeghis in Bangladesh are generally pro-Awami League and the land which they use every year for the biggest Islamic gathering in the world was donated to them by Mujib.

              In Bangladesh, Deobandis in essence hate Jamaatis.

              4. The case which resulted in Jamaat being banned from contesting elections was in fact filed by an Islamic group, a Sufi organization.

                Jamaat-e-Islami activists stage violent protests in Bangladesh


                Nov 3, 2013 #Bangladesh #Jamaat-e-Islami #NewsTracker 1700 2

                Dhaka: Sporadic incidents of violence today gripped the Bangladeshi capital with Jamaat-e-Islami activists torching vehicles, exploding bombs and staging protests after the High Court here issued the full text of a crucial verdict declaring “illegal” the party’s right to contest elections. TV channels reported that a passenger bus was set on fire by the Jamaat activists at the city’s commercial hub of Motikheel, while one of the protesters was critically injured after a crude bomb he was carrying exploded.





                Jamaati thugs attack Bangladeshis. Jamaat is supported by Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, the US and UK and Bangladeshis have their hands tied in how much they can act against them.

                They said the Jamaat activists staged brief but quick processions at certain parts of the city. Violence in Bangladesh. Reuters. The violence erupted ahead of another 60-hour nationwide strike called by main opposition BNP and Jamaat from tomorrow. “We have tightened the security vigil in the city to avert any further violence,” a police official told reporters. The opposition is spearheading a campaign to mount pressure on government for installation of a non-party interim government for oversight of elections due in January 2014. But today’s protests came a day after the court released the full text of its verdict delivered on August 5, declaring illegal Jamaat’s registration with the Election Commission which would disqualify the party to contest future polls. In its full verdict, the court observed that the EC “unlawfully” offered the temporary registration to the party in 2008 and its charter contained elements contrary to the constitution and the election rules. The court also ruled that the statutory body’s decision was “astonishing”, “unethical” and contrary to its charter. “It is hereby declared that the registration of Jamaat given to it by the Election Commission on November 4, 2008 was done without lawful authority and is of no effect,” read the judgment of a three-member High Court bench comprising judges M Enayetur Rahim, Quazi Reza-Ul Hoque and M Moazzam Husain.

                Election Commissioner Abu hafiz later told newsmen there was no scope on their part to disobey the court verdict and “will immediately implement the decision”. The EC gave Jamaat temporary registration only days ahead of the ninth parliamentary elections in 2008, as the party pledged to amend its constitution to comply with the basis principles of the constitution. But the Tariqat Federation, a grouping which campaigns moderate Sufi philosophy of Islam, and 24 other individuals subsequently challenged the EC decision seeking the High Court order to cancel Jamaat’s registration, saying several provisions of its charter were contrary to the county’s constitution and election laws. Legal experts, however, said the verdict did not made Jamaat “illegal” as a political party. The court observed that the party had no moral right to do politics in Bangladesh for opposing the country’s 1971 independence war and carrying out atrocities siding with the Pakistani troops. Jamaat’s lawyers had said they would challenge the ruling before the apex Appellate Division of the Supreme Court. Several Jamaat leaders have been handed down death penalties and long jail terms, whereas while trials of many other leaders are still underway at two special tribunals. Bangladesh cabinet last month decided to endorse a draft law to bar the convicted perpetrators of 1971 ‘crimes against humanity’ from contesting the national elections.

                1. Bangladeshi authorities have said the Jamaat cannot contest elections. The Jamaat have come out and organized a campaign of violence.


                2. Jamaat's second biggest backer after Pakistan, i.e. Saudi Arabia will probably be watching and looking for ways on how they can help the extremist organization which has been banned before in Bangladesh.



                Saudi dictator, Abdullah al-Saud. His regime may look for ways to once again blackmail Bangladesh and defend the pro-Pakistani Jamaatis in Bangladesh. The Saudi regime are staunch defenders of the extremist organization which is involved in violence and was involved in the 1971 genocide.

                  2 months ago. A Bangladeshi government official speaks about a possible total ban on the controversial "Jamaat e Islami" organization in Bangladesh:






                  Pakistanis are now furious with Jamaat and there are calls on social media for them to be banned as a Jamaati leader, Munawar Hassan, in Pakistan recently said Pakistani soldiers fighting the Taliban cannot be termed as martyrs.

                  Apparently Hassan is retracting this statement after wide condemnation.

                  The Sindh parliament moved a resolution against the Jamaat recently:




                  This is from defence.pk

                  faisal6309:

                  These days, everyone has their own Shria law and they have made them self satisfied with it. Why should we blame outsiders when we have enemies within our self. JUI & JI should be banned. Bangladesh did a great job by banning JI.

                  JI = Jamaat e Islami



                  Patriots:


                  JI is facilitator of TTP within Pakistani cities .........



                  Munavvar Hassan stands by controversial remarks


                  There are countless other remarks on forums, twitter, facebook with people calling for the banning of Jamaat.



                  The Jamaat however will never be banned in Pakistan as it is a "strategic" tool of the Pakistani military.

                    The question arises is that why did they defame military by saying pak soldiers being killed by taliban are no martyrs.Does it not show the mullah alliance with the military is crumbling.

                      Jamaat men vandalise vehicles, blast bombs in city

                      Star Online Report

                      The activists of Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing, Islami Chhatra Shibir, vandalised around 20 vehicles and exploded at least 20 crude bombs, sending panic among commuters during the morning rush hours in Gulistan of the capital.

                      No information of casualty was reported from the scene and none was held so far in this connection.

                      Witnesses said the Jamaat-Shibir men brought out a brisk procession at Gulistan around 8:20am.

                      Later, they resorted to the vandalism and explosion.
                      The processionists exploded at least 20 handmade bombs during the incident, said Abdul Kuddus Fakir, officer-in-charge (OC) of Bangshal Police Station.
                      On information, when police came to the spot and chased the vandals, they fled the scene, the OC said.

                        Pinak bins US notion that Jamaat moderate Islamic party

                        Tribune Desk

                        'The Jamaat has intimate relations with its namesake in Pakistan and is close to Saudi Arabia, and getting funds,' he said

                        Terming the US notion that Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami is a moderate Islamic party flawed, former Indian High Commissioner in Dhaka Pinak Ranjan Chakravarty has said this argument only helps Jamaat gain leverage.

                        “The US believes that the Jamaat is a moderate Islamic party ... The US argument is flawed ... it only helps the Jamaat gain leverage,” he told a roundtable in New Delhi on Thursday, says a UNB report.

                        The daily hartals (shutdowns) by the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP)-Jamaat alliance to push for a caretaker government have been hurting the economy and the common man in the nation of 155 million people.

                        On Thursday, Bangladesh’s Election Commission declared the Jamaaat-e-Islami ineligible for the coming polls in line with a court order.

                        Pinak Chakravarty, who retired recently as secretary in the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, said there is “convergence” between US, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan in their leaning towards Zia, and consequently the Jamaat, which is riding piggyback on the BNP, reports ZeeNews on Friday.

                        “The Jamaat has intimate relations with its namesake in Pakistan and is close to Saudi Arabia, and getting funds,” he said, adding that the Islamist party, which advocates that women be in purdah and remain indoors and targets minorities, has lost none of its “obscurantist” ideology.

                        He said both Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and BNP chief and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia are to blame for not fostering faith among people in the institutions of democracy.

                        He also said that while the “shadow of the army looms in the background”, the “open calls by opposition parties for it to take over are severely undermining democracy”. Bangladesh has seen several coups, including the one on Aug 15, 1975 that saw the assassination of the country’s founder-president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

                        A political “storm” is brewing in Bangladesh ahead of next year’s elections with the opposition BNP and its Islamist partner Jamaat-e-Islaami indulging in daily shutdowns and violence, experts in New Delhi warned and noted that the US, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have shown a “convergence” in their support for the BNP-Jamaat combine.

                        Addressing the daylong roundtable on ‘Bangladesh: Prospects of Democratic Consolidation’ at the India International Centre in New Delhi on Thursday, government officials who have dealt with Bangladesh and knowledgeable experts also said that Bangladesh’s sound economic growth, its social and human development indicators -- which are better than India’s, and its democracy are, at the same time, a reassuring factor for India on its eastern border.

                        Former foreign secretary Shyam Saran, addressing the roundtable, said: “India is facing a difficult situation on its western border, but on the eastern border (with Bangladesh) there is a sense of assurance,” Saran, chairperson of the National Security Advisory Board (NSAB).

                        1. As I said before the Jamaat is supported by the American regime.
                        The American regime supported the 1971 genocide and were against the freedom of Bangladesh.

                        2. They have termed the Jamaat as a "moderate" party when the Jamaat has been involved in violence against Hindus and a key Jamaati leader has been banned from the UK due to speech against Hindus.

                        The American regime knows full well that Jamaat is not a moderate party but wants Jamaat as party of its Muslim Brotherhood/"Islamist" network of parties across the globe.

                        3. However the bad news for the American regime is just as they were defeated in 1971 they will be defeated again.

                        4. The Pakistanis have been waging another type of war against Bangladesh since 1971 e.g. using Arab allies to bully Bangladesh, supporting radicals , interfering in our domestic affairs etc.

                        5. The Saudis need to stay out of Bangladesh internal affairs or like the Turks found out, there will be severe consequences.

                            Munawar Hassan’s words, spelling the end of Jamaat-e-Islami?

                            The Ameer of the Jamaat-e-Islami - Munawar Hassan - termed Hakimullah to be a brave martyr who went down fighting against the infidel forces.

                            It is evident that the death of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Chief Hakimullah Mehsud has opened a Pandora’s box of accusations, suspicions and conspiracy theories; and provided enough fodder to the electronic and print media to feast upon.

                            Although Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was fast to react, their statements were balanced and great caution was exercised by limiting their views to terming the attack as a conspiracy against the peace process.

                            Maulana Fazlur Rehman meanwhile went the extra mile to stir up anti-US sentiments by saying that “even a dog killed in a US drone strike would be declared a martyr”. Of course, Maulana’s statement invited the wrath of many from the religious circle who demanded an immediate apology from the chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F).

                            However the ameer of the Jamaat-e-Islami, Munawar Hassan, went all out in defence of the Taliban and termed Hakimullah to be a brave martyr who went down fighting against the infidel forces. Moreover, he implied that the Pakistan Army soldiers who died fighting against the Taliban terrorists were not martyrs.

                            The JI chief had reportedly said that if an American who died on the battlefield was not a martyr, then his backers were also not martyrs because they were chasing the same goal.

                            It is not a surprise that the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has condemned the JI chief’s statement as derogatory towards the martyrs who laid down their lives fighting with the militants, and demanded an apology from him.

                            Confused politics and disturbing statements have been the hallmark of the Jamaat-e-Islami leadership for the last couple of decades. Moreover, the Jamaat’s violent history and their alliance with militants and jihadi groups are known to all and well documented.

                            Back in the day, it was commonly stated that the Jamaat-e-Islami introduced fire arms in Karachi University by establishing the ‘Thunder Squad’ – a heavily armed militant wing of its student body Islami Jamiat Taleba.

                            Of course, their agenda back then was the implementation of Sharia by using any measures necessary. There were even instances in which students of IJT baton-charged and ransacked any social gathering within the campus where music was played. Just recently, students of the Institute of Business Administration (IBA) university campus were beaten up by IJT students for playing music in one of their student body events.

                            In the last decade, a number of high profile Al Qaeda members were caught from the homes of prominent JI local leaders including the famous Waheed brothers. They were active members of Jamaat-e-Islami and they confessed to having links with the Al Qaeda.

                            With such a dodgy history and the recent statements in favour of the Taliban to the extent of demoralising the Pakistan army, Jamaat-e-Islami has yet again validated the reason for its fast waning popularity in the political spectrum of Pakistan. Their right-winged politics had lost them their turf in Karachi earlier, and they experienced the same result in Lahore and Peshawar after the 2013 elections.

                            They have been seen brokering alliances with like-minded groups in order to survive and make their presence felt. With the recent statements issued by the ISPR, it looks like the days are numbered for the ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami, and we might even see a change in the party’s leadership.

                            It would be safe to say the JI chief’s latest statements have completely backfired and alienated the party’s few remaining conservative, right-leaning supporters, who could never swallow criticism of the Pakistan Army. The damage has already been done and JI will have to come clean in order to save itself from complete isolation.

                            Who knows, JI might even face a ban on its activities, similar to the deregistration carried out on its sister concern in Bangladesh.

                            I wish this would mark the beginning of an end to their delusional politics.

                            Should be banned.

                            JI is a fascist party and TTP are their brothers. While eliminating TTP, JI must also be banned.

                            Jamat-E Islami committing a political suicide and for the good. The party is going to the ultra right eventually in a barrel roll to end its self. Now that they don't even regret what their "Ameer"has said, I see a time soon when the political workers and leaders of his party will be abandon ship. I'd cross those names as to see who fish them out.

                            There is utter frustration regarding the present posture of this so called political party, which has been using religion for seeking people's sympathies. During the recent election they were caught with 82 thousand fraudulant ballot papers had put the religious people inembarrasing position. Now their open treatury with the government of Pakistan and darogatory remarks about Pakistan Army clearly indicates that they have sold out their loyalties to Drug Mafia group of Al-Zawahiri, operating with the brand name Al-Qaida. They seem to be in hard competition with Imran Khan's group PTI, for gaining Al-Qaida favours.

                            You have really made yourself a horrifying example of Islam by getting common people and their women and children slaughtered by these terrorists in Pakistan. Islam a religion known to religion of peace and love has become so horrifying that people are running out of Pakistan, who made the slogan and their ancesters gave sacrifices for Pakistan. stop this "Munafqat" and butchery using name of Islam.

                            Pak Army should stop playing double games. Seeking support of JI during Martial law, creation of Taliban, hiding OBL and others in Pakistan etc. They do friendship with snakes and now snakes are biting them.

                            Its always difficult to prove what came first chicken or egg, First Imran Khan said let TTP open offices in Pakistan, then Munawar Hassan says TTP men are Martyrs, Pakistani people have to decide whos is on thier side.JI and PTI will always try to get suppport from talibans as they have no masses support, ask both of them Thousands of Muslims die in Ashura, Imamabargahs, Mazars, why arnt they Martyrs, Who has given these people to proclaim martyrs.Ask JI chief when Jamat e islami was killing Innocent Bengalis in Bangladesh were they martyrs, Allah is the only one decides who is Martyr, neither Imran Khan or Munawar Hassan.

                            Unfortunately, JI is not going any where soon. No amount of stupidity from their Ameer is going to deter the Jamatis from this cult. The cult has defined twisted life style and way of thinking for its followers.The fathers' support for Jamaat is usually inherited by their sons and this cycle continues. We can just hope that it dwindles with time.

                            good luck Paksitan
                            solidarity from Bangladesh





                            *The Jamaat which was involved in raping Muslim women and massacring of Muslims and Hindus during the 1971 war is now facing serious pressure from most Pakistanis over its support for terrorists. Defence.pk's "Bangladesh" sub-forum is controlled by a gang of Jamaati thugs backed by the owner and individual calling himself "Webmaster", however in real life Jamaat have 1% support in Bangladesh and are now banned from competing in elections there.

                            However despite being hated by most Muslims they are still dangerous as they are backed by Saudi Arabia, the USA and Pakistani intelligence.
