This is so unfortunate when you see country that took birth from a blood pool of millions of people does not appreciate and honor the fallen heroes sacrifice but justifies Jamaat-e-Islami existence just as a mere political identity, which is vastly responsible for these killings, rape, looting and arson.
Bangladesh born out of millions of peoples sacrifices cleaned its soul with blood with a promise of no more hatred toward one another just because of we have a different religion. Believing in Ashraful Mokhlukat and give supreme authority to Allah to judge who is the best and not take the role of creator being a creation.
Unfortunately Bangladesh still faces the ghost of Moududiizam and its crocked forces of evil name Jamaat-e-Islami.
Insha Allah we will win one day and proclaim our self first as his creation with equality and then go on with our differences with religion, creed, color and so on.
Though I know, number of people carries this opinion are very insignificant but my worry is, vast majority of people does not oppose this heinous plan of portraying Jamaat-e-Islami as if this is just another political party which does no harm when history gives a complete different factual interpretation.
I wonder when the same person who oppose the corrupt leadership or mastan (rightfully) and vows to throw them out but readily make arguments of existence of Jamaat-e-Islami in a democratic society which collaborated crime against humanity. Killing, rape, arson become less crime then mastanbazi or chandabazi or say dolbazi.
Yes, the corrupt politicians or the mastan are no good for any society but please think about the history of this party called Jamaat-e-Islami that took part in killing human bean irrespective of religion. Jamaat a party that sells Islam killed millions of people most of who were Muslims. Muezzin was killed like a bird while making the call for prayer just because he was a Bengali. Jamaati razakar raped a daughter in front of a mother, just because their identity was Bengali!
Can you imagine Germany a western democratic country will allow Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party in their political arena? No never. Why not? Because Nazi Party did crime against humanity and they have no place in a democratic society.
Please do not mix-up Islam and Jamaat-e-Islam. Islam is a religion of peace not just for Muslims but also for humanity, whereas Jamaat collaborated with crime against humanity. Took part in killing, arson, looting, and rape but never confessed or repented for their willful crime but makes every attempt to justify their stance during our glorious liberation war.
They never ever accepted Bangladesh, otherwise how come they always elected their leaders from those who opposed the creation of Bangladesh? Abbas Ali Khan, Golam Azam, Motiur Rahman Nizami and present ameer AKM Yusuf, all of them are documented anti liberation force.
Jamaat-e-Islami did it intentionally to justify their stand and humiliate our history of liberation; Jamaat-e-Islami did it to award and recognizes their leader for their role to defend Pakistan. If this was an Islamic party or even an ordinary democratic party it would have been thrown out the leadership that failed to stand beside the people similarly which failed Islam.
Jamaat-e-Islami could not find anyone in its party leadership to appoint as party ameer or secretary who did not collaborated with Pakistan occupational forces crime against humanity. Why is that! Simple, Jamaat-e-Islami do not represent true Islam but represent politics of devil (shaitan) which wants to destroy harmony among Allah's creation.
Jamaat-e-Islami has no place in civilized society; Jamaat-e-Islami has no place in a democratic society just as Nazi Party has no place in German democratic process or the confederates has no place in US politics. Jamaat-e-Islami should be banned just as the Germans did ban Nazi Party of Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler version in Bangladesh is Abbas Ali Khan, Golam Azam, Motiur Rahman Nizami, AKM Yusuf, Ali Ahsan Muzahid, Kamruzzaman, Syedee and many more in Jamaat-e-Islami politics of selling Islam for gaining power to propagate looser Wahabi philosophy of Abul Ala Moududi.

In March the next year (1942) at a session of majlis-e-shoora an allegation was made that Maulana Moududi lived an ostentatious life which was repugnant to the tenets of Islam. Demand for his resignation was made at this session. Though ultimatewly he succeeded in retaining the post of Amir, four members quit the party.
In 1942 he shifted the headquarters of the party from Lahore to East Punjab. In 1944 he appointed Mia Tofael Ahmed secretary-general of the party. The next year (1945) from April 19 to 21 the first central �rokon� (workers) council was held at Pathancourt for the last time.
After the partition of India, in 1948, Maulana Moududi came over to Pakistan accompanied by 306 of the party's 533 members and began party activities in his new home. As the Maulana decreed that the jehad in Kashmir was haram (forbidden act in Islam) he, along with a few members of Jamat was arrested in 1948. The first council of the party in Pakistan was held from 6 to 8 May. Maududi came out of prison in 1950 and built up a liaison with a few other Islamic parties.
In January, 1953 at a conference of clerics Maulana made a demand for declaring the members of the Ahmediya community as non-Muslim. At this time Maududi made many provocative statements against the Ahmediya community which incited a riot against the Ahmediyas at the end of February, 1953 which escalated further in March that year. In Punjab a frenzied bloodbath ensued killing thousands of people. After this Maulana Moududi and his followers were arrested and tried. In the trial the Maulana was awarded the death sentence and his followers were convicted to imprisonment of various terms. Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani and Maulana Akram Khan opposed the verdict of death sentence. Later the death sentence was set aside and he was given life term. Of course, for political reasons Maududi was released in 1955.
In the East Pakistan of those Jamat-e-Islami had no organisational base. In 1948 Jamat leader Rafi Ahmed Indori was sent to East Pakistan with the objective of expanding political activities here. Before that Maulana Moududi had visited East Pakistan in an organisational tour, accompanied by the secretary-general of his party. By the persistent efforts of Rafi Ahmed and Abdur Rahim a four-member provincial committee of jamat was formed in East Pakistan. Abdur Rahim was elected Amir of this committee. Gholam Azam who was a teacher in Rangpur Carmichael College joined jamat-e-Islami in 1954 as an associate member. In 1955 he achieved the post of rokon. The same year he became secretary of the party's Rajshahi division and the next year he was given the responsibility of provincial assistant secretary, the Amir of Rajshahi and provincial secretary. At that time the Amir of the provincial branch of the party was Abdur Rahim.
Around this time many allegations against Moududi were again being made within the party. In 1957 he called an all-Pakistan Jamat conference in Bahawalpur. At this conference he became Amir, which prompted the dissidents to quit the party.
In 1962 when General Ayub promulgated Muslim Family Ordinance Moududi opposed the Ordinance. For this on 4 January, 1964 the Ayub government banned Jamat and arrested 60 Jamat members including Moududi. They included 13 Jamat members of East Pakistan , among whom were Gholam Azam. Later, in October the same year the ban on Jamat was lifted.
Jamat-e-Islami opposed the Six Points of Sheikh Mujib and the Fourteen Points of Maulana Bhashani. In 1967 was formed the PDS or Pakistan Democratic Movement. Jamat-e-Islami took part in it. In 1968-69 ayub Khan summoned a roundtable conference with the purpose of foiling the great mass movement. Jamat-e-Islami at this time engaged in various kinds of machinations. The party began to emit venom against NAP and Awami League. Jamat took part in the election of 1970. In West Pakistan the party won only in four seats.
In 1971 when the Liberation War began Jamat-e-Islami took the side of Pakistan. In the month of April Gholam Azam met General Tikka Khan twice within the space of one day and opposing the liberation of Bangladesh offered his full cooperation. Gholam Azam branded the Freedom Fighters as anti-State elements. Gholam Azam played a foremost and active r�le in forming the 'peace committees' in the Pak-occupied Bangladesh under the leadership of a Khawaja Khairuddin, president of Council Muslim League. Jamat-e-Islami also had an active r�le in the formation of the forces of the 'Razakars', Al Badr and As Shams. Throughout the period of the Liberation War of Bangladesh, the leaders and workers of Jamat-e-Islami and the workers of Chhatra Sangha had been directing many-sided action against the Bangalee nation. This included the obliteration of the Bangalees as a nation, the killing of innocent people and intellectuals, mass arrests, rapes, looting and arson, etc.
On 3 Septamber, 1971 Dr A S Mlik wa sappointed the governor of East Pakistan and on 17 September provincial government was formed here. In this cabinet the Jamat leader Abbas Ali Khan was appointed education minister and Maulana Abul Kalam Mohammed Yusuf became the minister for works and revenue. In August 1970 a by-election was held in which 78 members of National Assembly of the victorious Awami League were declared disqualified from being candidates. In this by-election 58 candidates were elected uncontested. They incluuded 25 Jamat leaders among whom were Gholam Azam, Abdur Rahim, Abbas Ali Khan. After liberation, as all religious parties were banned, Jamat-e-Islami also came under the ban.
In August 1976 the Ziaur Rahman government announced the Political Parties Regulation. According to this regulation, the number of polirtical parties recognised by the state at that time was only 21. One of them were Islamic Democratic League. Jamat-e-Islami played an active r�le in the formation of this party. Gholam Azam came to Bangladesh for three months on Pakistani passport and through his leadership from the background Jamat-e-Islami was formed in May, 1979. Abbas Ali Khan was elected the acting Amir. Aqfter this Gholam Azam surrendered his Pakisatani passport and applied for Bangladeshi citizenship.
Jamat helped to promote Ziaur Rahman's politics. After Ershad came to power it directed its activities in the same manner. In 1986 Jamat took part in the election to the third parliament in which ten of its members were elected. In the fifth parliament it won 28 seats, and by supporting BNP in formation of government obtained two more reserved women's seats. Through these happenings Jamat was able to dig its heels in national politics. After the 1991 election during the BNP rule the question of Gholam Azam's citizenship was taken to the court of law following which the court granted him citizenship.
In 1992 under Jahanara Imam on whom was conferred the title 'Shaheed Janani' (the Mother Of Martyrs) a strong movement was built up for the elimination of the killers and collaborators of 1971. This led to a fall in the popularity of Jamat. After this Jamat remained active with Awami League in the demand for caretaker government. Of course, in the 1996 election Jamat won only three seats. The number of votes polled by them throughout the country also dropped sharply. In the post-election years Jamat with BNp formed a four-party alliance and it is fighting the election to the eighth parliament jointly with BNP.
