[chottala.com] Outbursts by Terror Suspect at a Competency Hearing



 
 
NY al-Qaida suspect wants to 'make peace' with USA

NEW YORK (AP) — A U.S.-educated Pakistani scientist accused of shooting at FBI agents and helping al-Qaida turned a hearing to decide if she's competent for trial into a pulpit for telling anyone who would listen that she doesn't hate America but doesn't trust its courts.

Aafia Siddiqui repeatedly spoke Monday to spectators, a U.S. marshal's deputy sitting behind her, her lawyers and even a team of five prosecutors and aides in front of her at the start of the afternoon session of the daylong proceeding. They were her first public comments since she was brought to the United States from Afghanistan 11 months ago.

"I want to make peace with the United States of America," Siddiqui said to the backs of those at the prosecution table. "I'm not an enemy. I never was."

Siddiqui is accused of having ties to al-Qaida and grabbing a U.S. Army officer's rifle in Afghanistan in July 2008 and firing at U.S. soldiers and FBI agents. She was shot in the abdomen in the encounter and was brought to the United States weeks later to face charges of attempted murder and assault.

A defense attorney has disputed the U.S. government's account of what happened in Afghanistan, and a not guilty plea has been entered for Siddiqui. In court Monday, she said: "I did not shoot anybody. I didn't fire any bullets."

If convicted of the charges, Siddiqui, 37, would face a minimum of 30 years in prison and a maximum penalty of life in prison.

Throughout Monday's hearing, Siddiqui rubbed her wrists, reddened by what she said was rough treatment by jailhouse guards who forced her to court in observance of the judge's order that she appear.

Siddiqui, a specialist in neuroscience who trained at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Brandeis University, had appeared in court twice after she was brought to the U.S. last August but had refused to attend proceedings since then. On Monday, she pulled a white scarf over her face so only her eyes were seen.

U.S. District Judge Richard Berman said he will rule later if she's competent to stand trial in October. Psychologists say she's had delusions that include seeing her three children in her cell and being visited by flying infants and dark angels.

L. Thomas Kucharski, a psychologist for the defense, testified Siddiqui suffers from delusional disorder and depression and is unfit for trial. Two mental health experts for the government, Gregory B. Saathoff and Sally C. Johnson, testified she's fit for trial because her behavior reflects malingering or grossly exaggerated psychological symptoms aimed at getting a result, such as avoiding trial.

When Johnson testified that Siddiqui had said the judge is a pawn of a Zionist conspiracy and only wants to kill her, Siddiqui turned toward spectators and nodded her head enthusiastically in apparent agreement.

Johnson said Siddiqui's descriptions of seeing her children in her cell and other events had subsided over the months and an analysis of her recorded conversations with her brother and others had shown that she understood the charges against her and the legal process.

Kucharski testified that her prospects might be worse if she were found incompetent because it could trigger a court order of forced medication to treat symptoms so that she could become competent for trial. And, if her symptoms are not treatable, she could remain institutionalized for life, he said.

Before she left court, Siddiqui insisted she's not paranoid or psychotic and described her fears that her statements Monday might be her last.

"It's probably the last opportunity I'm going to get," she said, noting the possibility she will be subjected to forced medication. "I've seen people on the drugs. They can't talk."

At least twice during the hearing she indicated she will not cooperate with her court-appointed lawyer, Dawn M. Cardi.

Cardi said outside court that her client's behavior supported her argument that she's unfit for trial.

"She's not making any sense," Cardi said.

The lawyer noted that Siddiqui had shouted to spectators that she could bring peace to Pakistan and Afghanistan if she were permitted to speak with President Barack Obama. It was an example of grandiose behavior that supports conclusions that she is delusional, Cardi said.

In court, Siddiqui told spectators: "The American president wants to make peace. I want to help him. Am I making sense? I'm sincere."

Siddiqui may be forced to appear in court Monday July 6, 2009 against her will by video or in person in federal court in Manhattan at a hearing to decide if she's competent to stand trial, defense attorney Dawn Cardi said (AP Photo/ File)

 Golam Azam - The Top Traitor-Criminal of 20th century Bangladesh  !
 
 
Mr. Salahuddin Ayubi
 
You are saying  the pro-Pakistani version parrot-wise ---- your business
as usual..... Bangladesh declared it's Independence on 25th of March 1971
and became a legal entity since then .... Our country was not a part of
Pakistan after 25th March 1971.
 
After 25th March 1971, the Pakistani regime in Bangladesh became
an illegal occupation adminstration. Pakistani occupation regime became
a de facto authority not a legitimate government in 1971.
 
 Anyone who willingly co-operated with the foreign occupier and
enthusiastically promoted the regime is an anti-people traitor
Tikka Khan's government was illegal and had no legitamicy.
All acts of Jamaate Islami with Golam Azam and Moti Nizami at the helm
were acts of sedition, treason, and treachery :
Jamaat's 1971 maneauvors were not isolated or sporadic events, but were
party's policy of a wide practice of atrocities & killing innocent supporters
of People's Republic of Bangladesh.  Murder, extermination, torture, rape, 
religious persecution and other inhumane acts were widespread, 
systematic practices Jamaate Islami and its' Al-Bodor wing ... 
Whatever your saying to justify Golam Azam, Moti Nizami's crimes
against humanity & our nation is total distortion of facts, essentially
a willul misinterpretation and falsification of history with an ulterior
motive to save the criminals including Top Traitor Golam Azam.
 
You may or may not count Golam Azam  as your leader but your
"Till the 16th of december 1971our country was part of Pakistan"
statement is a pugnacious lie and distortion of history.... in 1971
Pakistani regime in Bangladesh was a defacto authority but not a
legitimate government ....  Inspite of  your amorphous and
unacceptable  "technicality arugument", Jamaate Islami's support
for, and collaboration with a regime perpetuating RAPE, MURDER
& GENOCIDE can't be condoned and justified from any legal or 
moral basis.
 
All of Jamaat's 1971 criminal acts and moral terpitudes were done
in the name of our religion Islam and thereby Jamaat's crimes were
against Islam too. Those crimes involving murder & moral turpitude
have an inherent quality of baseness, vileness, and depravity with
respect to human dignity. The Pakistani occupation regime and it's
Jamaat-AlBodor collaborator's actions were totally un-Islamic.
 
Jamaate Islami  vis-a-vis Golam Azam and Nizami Gong's
crimes against humanity, crime against Bangladesh & crime 
against Islam includes, but not limited to:
 
(1) Sedition against the People's Republic of Bangladesh
(2) Formation of and organizing Armed Gestapo militia Al-Bodor (High Treason)
(3) Complicity in the Genocide in Bangladesh
(4) Aiding and abetting the Genocide in Bangladesh
(5) Religious persecution of non-muslims.
(6) extortion from the families of Mukti-joddhas by the Al-bodor
      caders [Go Azam was personally involved in taking money from the
      families whose members were suspected of joining Mukti-Bahini
      because they were not seen at  home  ...]
 This only a partial list ...
 
Syed Aslam
 
For the Sunny boys of Bangladesh tomorrow will be even better day...
and Jamaate Islami will be turn into a Klue Klux Klan .....

I have never said that Golam Azam is my leader. Truth is I do not follow any leader. I just wanted to make a technical point. . Till the 16th of december 1971  our country was part of Pakistan, we continued using Pakistani currency and all those who worked for the government worked for the Government of Pakistan including Radio and television so that was the legal government of the country.  Mr. Azam did not rebel against the legally constitued government, You may say that he collaborated with an unpopular govenment of the time whom Bengalis desposed and nothing more.

Golam Azam - Top Traitor-Criminal,  loosing 1971 memories
 
 
 
Mr. Ayubi
 
Your fovorite leader Golam Azam did not fight any rebellion
against a legal government.
 ...... he collaborated with the illegal occupation Army to
supress the Liberation Struggle.....
 
By all accounts, [BNP or BAL] Bangladesh became an
independent People's  Republic after 25th March 1971
declaration of Independence.
 
16th December 1971 is our victory day when we consolidated
our victory over the foreign occupation Army's illegal
occupation. 
 
GoAzam was deeply involved in collaboration with an
illegal foreign occupation army  and organizing the
illegal armed gestapo militia Al-bodor.
 
Jamaat's  illegal militia Al-bodor cum Islami Chattro Sangha,
killed thousands of freedom fighters and ordinary unarmed
supporters of newly independent People's Republic of Bangladesh.
and committed other attrocities including rape, extortion etc.
The killing of Bangladeshi intellectals was the sole job of
Al-badar militia with full approval Jamaat leadership including
Golam Azam, Moti Nizami et el.
 
In addition to his crime for organizing the illegal armed militia
Al-Bodor, Golamer Baccha Golam Azam's crime includes high
treason against the People's People's Republic of Bangladesh.

It is a heinous & disgusting shame that you are calling the illegal
occupation regime, "a lawful government" ,,,, which proves that
deep inside you, you are a pro-Pakistani-ideolog ......clear and
simple .....
 
the readers  already know who you are: "a  Baap ka beta ....."
No wonder, it burns your skin when you hear 
criminal Golam Azam's crimines are being disclosed ...

 Part1:Profile of killers Golam Azam First Amber-e-Jamaat of Bangladesh
 
The head (Ameer) of the collaborators (Rajakar) of Pakistani occupation army and a heinous war criminal. The vile monster behind the genocide of 1971, rapes and molestation of 45,00,000 Bengali women and murder of hundreds of pro Bangladesh intellectuals. In one of the photos recovered from the archive of Pakistan military intelligence Golam Azam and his top associate Motiur Rahman Nizami are seen handing the list of the names of progressive Bangalee intellectuals over to the Pakistani generals for elimination. The guru of extremist Islamic ideologies in Bangladesh. The leader of 70,000 Razakars, Al-Badr and Al-Sams forces.
(New York Times, 30 July, 1971).
 
War criminal Golam Azam cartoon link: http://www.iftwcb. org/images/ ghatak.jpg
 
When the burden of the killing became too much for the army, the Pakistanis enlisted and trained paramilitary units made up of non-Bengali Muslims and Bengali collaborators from right-wing religious parties. These paramilitary units, the al-Badr and al-Shams, worked as informers and assassins to augment the military's gruesome task of killing Bengalis. In June 1971 Sydney Schanberg reported on the formation of these units:
 
In June 1971 Sydney Schanberg reported 'Throughout East Pakistan the Army is training new paramilitary home guards or simply arming "loyal" civilians, some of whom are formed into peace committees. Besides Biharis and other non-Bengali, Urdu-speaking Moslems, the recruits include the small minority of Bengali Moslems who have long supported the army -- adherents of the right-wing religious parties such as the Moslem League and Jamaat-e-Islami led by Golam Azam and Motiur Rahman Nizami
 
These groups collectively known as the Razakars, the paramilitary units spread terror throughout the Bengali population. With their local knowledge, the Razakars were an invaluable tool in the Pakistani Army's arsenal of genocide.'
However, In June the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sydney Schanberg filed a number of eyewitness accounts from Bangladeshi towns for The New York Times. In response, the Pakistan army expelled him from the country on June 30, 1971.
 
Golam Azam, Rao Forman & Malek, discussing blue print for killing the pro Bangladesh intellectuals
 
The Pakistan army, on the verge of defeat, was determined to wipe out Bengali culture in one final act of barbarism. On December 14, 1971, the Pakistan army unleashed the paramilitary units led by Jamaat-e-Islami Al-Badr and Al-Shams to exterminate Bengali intellectuals. The goal was to find and kill Bengali political thinkers, educators, scientists, poets, doctors, lawyers, journalists and other intellectuals. The al-Badr and al-Shams fanned out with lists of names to find and execute the core of Bengali intellectuals. The intellectuals were arrested and taken to Rayerbazar, a marshy area in Dhaka city.
 
There, they were gunned down with their eyes blindfolded and their hands tied behind their backs. Jamaat-e-Islami and its leaders were in the forefront of this planning and execution of Bengali intellectuals. Al-Badr and Al-Shams systematically executed well over 200 of East Pakistan's intellectuals and scholars. Professors, journalists, doctors, artists, engineers, writers were rounded up, blindfolded, taken to torture cells in Mirpur, Mohammadpur, Nakhalpara, Rajarbagh and other locations in different sections of the city; and executed en masse in the killing fields, most notably at Rayerbazar and Mirpur.
 
Several noted intellectuals who were killed from the time period of 25th March to 16th December, 1971 in different parts of the country include Dr. G. C. Dev (Philosopher, Professor at DU),Dr. Munir Chowdhury (Litterateur, Dramatist, Professor at DU), Dr. Mofazzal Haider Chowdhury (Litterateur, Professor at DU), Dr. Anawar Pasha (Litterateur, Professor at DU), Dr. Fazle Rabbi (cardiologist) , Dr. Alim Chowdhury (opthalmologist) , Shahidullah Kaisar (journalist) , Nizamuddin Ahmed (Reporter), Selina Parvin (reporter), Altaf Mahmud (lyricist and musician), Dr. Hobibur Rahman (mathematician, Professor at RU), Dhiren Dutt (politician) , R. P. Saha (philanthropist) , Lt. Col. Moazzem Hossain (ex-soldier) , Mamun Mahmood (Police Officer)and many others.
 
Noted writter Dr. Rashid Aksari stated in one of his writing "The paramilitary force Al-Badr, which was formed in September 1971 under the auspices of General Niazi, chief of the Eastern Command of the Pakistan Army, was the instigator of that hideous massacre. Their objective was to strike panic into the people by abduction and killing. It was the military adviser to the so-called Governor, Major General Rao Forman Ali who masterminded the whole conspiracy to extinguish the intellectuals and the higher educated class. Had they had one week time more, they would have killed all the Bengali intellectuals, which was a part of their master plan. The Badr force was in fact a special terrorist faction of the then Jamaat-e-Islami led by Moududi, Golam Azam, and Abdur Rahim.
 
He continues to narrate "Immediately after submitting the killing plan, Golam Azam, along with the chief of the Razakars, Mohammad Yunus, and the liaison officer of the Peace Committee, Mahbubur Rahman Gurha, went to see the training of the Razakar and Al-Badr at the Physical Training College. From then on the Student Sangha all over the country was transformed into Al-Badr and in the last week of November and first half of December the list of the intellectuals was handed over to them for abduction and persecution.
 
On December 4 began the imposed curfew and black out to pave the way for abduction. The preparation for abduction of the intellectuals extensively started from December 10. Amid curfew and black out, an Al-Badr bus, stained with mud, picked up the listed intellectuals from their residences. Then they were taken to the Al-Badr headquarter at Mohammadpur Physical Training College for interrogation and persecution. At dead of night they were taken to Rayerbazar brick field and killed. The killing also took place at Mirpur.
 
Golam Azam (born 1922) the mother of all killer, is a Bangladeshi political leader. He is also widely known as a war criminal who collaborated with the Pakistan Army during the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, particularly with regards to creating and managing the vigilante Razakar and Al-Badr forces. Recently released unclassified documents of the Pakistan government reiterate his role as a war criminal. He refused to accept the independence of Bangladesh upon its liberation on December 16th 1971, and was a permanent resident of Pakistan until 1978, and maintained Pakistani citizenship until 1994.
 
Entering politics as a student leader at Dhaka University, Azam became the secretary of the fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh in 1957. Later, he became the Amber (president) of the Jamaat in East Pakistan in 1969. During the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, he was accused of collaboration with the Pakistan Army, and was also accused of war crimes.
 
To the last leg of nine months long war on receiving an urgent telegram from Maududi, Golam Azam went to Lahore, on 22 November 1971, to see him. He could not return to Bangladesh as his citizenship was revoked by Sheikh Mujib government. Failing to return to Bangladesh the arch criminal went to Mecca, ostensibly, for Hajj.  From Saudi Arabia Go Azam traveled Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Beirut and Libya to lobby against Sheikh Mujib government and raise funds for counter revolution.
 
Following his extensive international PR activities Go Azam arrived in London. From London he published the Jamati newspaper Daily Sangram on a weekly basis.  In 1974, the weekly Bichitra published a very interesting report on Golam Azam's activities in London: In early 1974, Golam Azam presented a blueprint of anti Bangladesh activities at a committee meeting held in a house in East London. According to a reliable source some Pakistani nationals were also present in that meeting.
 
The participants in that secret meeting were: AT Sadi, Toaha bin Habib, Ali Hossain, Barrister Akhtar Uddin, Meher Ali and Dr Talukdar. Pakistani citizen Mahmud Ali is one of the top Pakistanis present in that meeting. The chair of the meeting Golam Azam said " to continue our activities from London will be difficult. So someone has to go back home. We ought to take risk-otherwise there will be no outcome. But if you go home-you will have contacts. I have already contacted my people. Everything is okay. Handing out a leaflet to all members present Golam said it has to be distributed among the people of every village of Bangladesh. People are with us.
 
According to some sources the said leaflet contained propaganda for a proposed confederation with Pakistan. Others believed that it called for an Islamic revolution organized using the network of mosques. Some people were reported to have arrested near Dhaka carrying those leaflets. Golam Azam also mentioned the proposed support for anti Bangladesh activities from Pakistan and some other Middle Eastern countries. (Like Zia) Golam Azam said 'Money is not a problem'.
 
It was heard that Golam Azam collected 45,000,000 Reals  from Saudi Arabia for reconstructing the mosques of Bangladesh demolished during the war. Shrewd Golam spent a large portion of that money to purchase a house in Manchester in UK. Presently his son Mehedi Hasan is living in that house. Golam' eldest son Kaifi Azmi is a senior officer in Bangladesh Army and believed to be working as a link between ISI cell in Bangladesh Army and Jamati Terrorist groups.
 
After the war, the Bangladesh government sought to remove the influence of the fundamentalists and collaborators, and Golam Azam's citizenship was cancelled. He chose to live in exile in Pakistan and England until 1978, when President Ziaur Rahman re-established multi-party democracy and legalized the previously banned fundamentalist parties, and allowed him to return to Bangladesh on a temporary visa.
 
Golam Azam became the unofficial Amber of the party while remaining in the country illegally (though no attempt was made to restrain him and he moved around openly), and his citizenship was restored in 1994 by a decision of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh.
 
Ghulam Azam announced his retirement from active politics in late 2000. He was succeeded by Motiur Rahman Nizami. Golam was Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami from 1969 to 2000 which is THIRTY ONE YEAR ( So called Islamic Democracy) probably just to follow the foot step of his leader Moududi who was also the ameer of  Jamaat from its formation on 6 August 1941 till 1972 which is THIRTY ONE YEAR too.
 
Ghulam Azam's party, Jamaat-e-Islami, has been accused by a cross section of political parties and secular organizations as a patron of recently (2002-2006) rising militancy and behind a number of terrorist bombings. Almost all of the recently arrested militants were alleged to have links in the past to either the Jamaat or its student wing, the Islami Chhatra Shibir some Bangladeshi newspapers such as The Daily Star, Prothom Alo, Janakantha and Bhorer Kagoj describes Jamaat as who favors destabilizations of mainstream politics so as to reap the dividend from the subsequent vacuum.

Part2: Jamaat-e-Islam Bangladesh : Profile of a killer: Golam Azam"Number One war criminal

E-mail Print PDF
As we all know that Jamaat-e-Islami which is now known as Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh was heavily drawn into mass murdering, rape, arson, looting and especially killing of intellectual during the last part of our glorious liberation war. Jamaat or Jamatis was related with most genocide that happened during nine months of liberation war. To understand the genocide of 1971 and those who committed the genocide we must recognize and identify Jamaat leaders and their heinous activities during 1971 as well as their conspiracy against the democratic secular Bangladesh at this time.
 
Most of the Jamaat leaders of today's Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh have a very dark chapter of their life which they try to hide by all means. Their heinous activities in the name of Allah and Islam they committed and continue to commit crime against humanity must be challenged. They were danger then and more dangerous now. Their treacherous activity is challenging for true democratization of our country where pluralistic society will thrive.
 
Jamaat-e-Islami who completely disagree with the basic premise of democratic pluralistic state and society by participation of all citizens with equal right and wants to establish Moulana Moududi version of Islam by any means.
 
Deceiving, lying and conniving manipulation of two faces Jamaat-e-Islam is in sequence with the teaching of their spiritual guide and founding father Syed Ab'ul Ala Maududi. In page 54 of his Voluminous "Tarjamanul Qura'an": - he said "Truth is one of the most important principles of Islam and lying is one of the greatest sins. But in real life some needs are such that telling a lie is not only allowed, in some circumstances it is decreed mandatory".
 
Dear readers, to uncover or revisit the truth, to understand the depth of Jamaat-e-Islam' s conspiracy against our democratic institution we have taken this step to bring Jamatis out of there closet and introduce them to our new generation.

[chottala.com] Are we diverting our army from main duty ?




 
We have to make sure that army is not involved in any civilian affairs,particularly national election.
If army is involved in national election, then AL will try to make it pro-AL, BNP will try to make it pro-BNP. This will have destructive effect like  freezing-thoughing on our army

[chottala.com] Golam Azam - The Top Traitor-Criminal of 20th Century Bangladesh....



 Golam Azam - The Top Traitor-Criminal of 20th century Bangladesh  !
 
 
Mr. Salahuddin Ayubi
 
You are saying  the pro-Pakistani version parrot-wise ---- your business
as usual..... Bangladesh declared it's Independence on 25th of March 1971
and became a legal entity since then .... Our country was not a part of
Pakistan after 25th March 1971.
 
After 25th March 1971, the Pakistani regime in Bangladesh became
an illegal occupation adminstration. Pakistani occupation regime became
a de facto authority not a legitimate government in 1971.
 
 Anyone who willingly co-operated with the foreign occupier and
enthusiastically promoted the regime is an anti-people traitor
Tikka Khan's government was illegal and had no legitamicy.
All acts of Jamaate Islami with Golam Azam and Moti Nizami at the helm
were acts of sedition, treason, and treachery :
Jamaat's 1971 maneauvors were not isolated or sporadic events, but were
party's policy of a wide practice of atrocities & killing innocent supporters
of People's Republic of Bangladesh.  Murder, extermination, torture, rape, 
religious persecution and other inhumane acts were widespread, 
systematic practices Jamaate Islami and its' Al-Bodor wing ... 
Whatever your saying to justify Golam Azam, Moti Nizami's crimes
against humanity & our nation is total distortion of facts, essentially
a willul misinterpretation and falsification of history with an ulterior
motive to save the criminals including Top Traitor Golam Azam.
 
You may or may not count Golam Azam  as your leader but your
"Till the 16th of december 1971our country was part of Pakistan"
statement is a pugnacious lie and distortion of history.... in 1971
Pakistani regime in Bangladesh was a defacto authority but not a
legitimate government ....  Inspite of  your amorphous and
unacceptable  "technicality arugument", Jamaate Islami's support
for, and collaboration with a regime perpetuating RAPE, MURDER
& GENOCIDE can't be condoned and justified from any legal or 
moral basis.
 
All of Jamaat's 1971 criminal acts and moral terpitudes were done
in the name of our religion Islam and thereby Jamaat's crimes were
against Islam too. Those crimes involving murder & moral turpitude
have an inherent quality of baseness, vileness, and depravity with
respect to human dignity. The Pakistani occupation regime and it's
Jamaat-AlBodor collaborator's actions were totally un-Islamic.
 
Jamaate Islami  vis-a-vis Golam Azam and Nizami Gong's
crimes against humanity, crime against Bangladesh & crime 
against Islam includes, but not limited to:
 
(1) Sedition against the People's Republic of Bangladesh
(2) Formation of and organizing Armed Gestapo militia Al-Bodor (High Treason)
(3) Complicity in the Genocide in Bangladesh
(4) Aiding and abetting the Genocide in Bangladesh
(5) Religious persecution of non-muslims.
(6) extortion from the families of Mukti-joddhas by the Al-bodor
      caders [Go Azam was personally involved in taking money from the
      families whose members were suspected of joining Mukti-Bahini
      because they were not seen at  home  ...]
 This only a partial list ...
 
Syed Aslam
 
For the Sunny boys of Bangladesh tomorrow will be even better day...
and Jamaate Islami will be turn into a Klue Klux Klan .....

I have never said that Golam Azam is my leader. Truth is I do not follow any leader. I just wanted to make a technical point. . Till the 16th of december 1971  our country was part of Pakistan, we continued using Pakistani currency and all those who worked for the government worked for the Government of Pakistan including Radio and television so that was the legal government of the country.  Mr. Azam did not rebel against the legally constitued government, You may say that he collaborated with an unpopular govenment of the time whom Bengalis desposed and nothing more.

Golam Azam - Top Traitor-Criminal,  loosing 1971 memories
 
 
 
Mr. Ayubi
 
Your fovorite leader Golam Azam did not fight any rebellion
against a legal government.
 ...... he collaborated with the illegal occupation Army to
supress the Liberation Struggle.....
 
By all accounts, [BNP or BAL] Bangladesh became an
independent People's  Republic after 25th March 1971
declaration of Independence.
 
16th December 1971 is our victory day when we consolidated
our victory over the foreign occupation Army's illegal
occupation. 
 
GoAzam was deeply involved in collaboration with an
illegal foreign occupation army  and organizing the
illegal armed gestapo militia Al-bodor.
 
Jamaat's  illegal militia Al-bodor cum Islami Chattro Sangha,
killed thousands of freedom fighters and ordinary unarmed
supporters of newly independent People's Republic of Bangladesh.
and committed other attrocities including rape, extortion etc.
The killing of Bangladeshi intellectals was the sole job of
Al-badar militia with full approval Jamaat leadership including
Golam Azam, Moti Nizami et el.
 
In addition to his crime for organizing the illegal armed militia
Al-Bodor, Golamer Baccha Golam Azam's crime includes high
treason against the People's People's Republic of Bangladesh.

It is a heinous & disgusting shame that you are calling the illegal
occupation regime, "a lawful government" ,,,, which proves that
deep inside you, you are a pro-Pakistani-ideolog ......clear and
simple .....
 
the readers  already know who you are: "a  Baap ka beta ....."
No wonder, it burns your skin when you hear 
criminal Golam Azam's crimines are being disclosed ...

 Part1:Profile of killers Golam Azam First Amber-e-Jamaat of Bangladesh
 
The head (Ameer) of the collaborators (Rajakar) of Pakistani occupation army and a heinous war criminal. The vile monster behind the genocide of 1971, rapes and molestation of 45,00,000 Bengali women and murder of hundreds of pro Bangladesh intellectuals. In one of the photos recovered from the archive of Pakistan military intelligence Golam Azam and his top associate Motiur Rahman Nizami are seen handing the list of the names of progressive Bangalee intellectuals over to the Pakistani generals for elimination. The guru of extremist Islamic ideologies in Bangladesh. The leader of 70,000 Razakars, Al-Badr and Al-Sams forces.
(New York Times, 30 July, 1971).
 
War criminal Golam Azam cartoon link: http://www.iftwcb. org/images/ ghatak.jpg
 
When the burden of the killing became too much for the army, the Pakistanis enlisted and trained paramilitary units made up of non-Bengali Muslims and Bengali collaborators from right-wing religious parties. These paramilitary units, the al-Badr and al-Shams, worked as informers and assassins to augment the military's gruesome task of killing Bengalis. In June 1971 Sydney Schanberg reported on the formation of these units:
 
In June 1971 Sydney Schanberg reported 'Throughout East Pakistan the Army is training new paramilitary home guards or simply arming "loyal" civilians, some of whom are formed into peace committees. Besides Biharis and other non-Bengali, Urdu-speaking Moslems, the recruits include the small minority of Bengali Moslems who have long supported the army -- adherents of the right-wing religious parties such as the Moslem League and Jamaat-e-Islami led by Golam Azam and Motiur Rahman Nizami
 
These groups collectively known as the Razakars, the paramilitary units spread terror throughout the Bengali population. With their local knowledge, the Razakars were an invaluable tool in the Pakistani Army's arsenal of genocide.'
However, In June the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sydney Schanberg filed a number of eyewitness accounts from Bangladeshi towns for The New York Times. In response, the Pakistan army expelled him from the country on June 30, 1971.
 
Golam Azam, Rao Forman & Malek, discussing blue print for killing the pro Bangladesh intellectuals
 
The Pakistan army, on the verge of defeat, was determined to wipe out Bengali culture in one final act of barbarism. On December 14, 1971, the Pakistan army unleashed the paramilitary units led by Jamaat-e-Islami Al-Badr and Al-Shams to exterminate Bengali intellectuals. The goal was to find and kill Bengali political thinkers, educators, scientists, poets, doctors, lawyers, journalists and other intellectuals. The al-Badr and al-Shams fanned out with lists of names to find and execute the core of Bengali intellectuals. The intellectuals were arrested and taken to Rayerbazar, a marshy area in Dhaka city.
 
There, they were gunned down with their eyes blindfolded and their hands tied behind their backs. Jamaat-e-Islami and its leaders were in the forefront of this planning and execution of Bengali intellectuals. Al-Badr and Al-Shams systematically executed well over 200 of East Pakistan's intellectuals and scholars. Professors, journalists, doctors, artists, engineers, writers were rounded up, blindfolded, taken to torture cells in Mirpur, Mohammadpur, Nakhalpara, Rajarbagh and other locations in different sections of the city; and executed en masse in the killing fields, most notably at Rayerbazar and Mirpur.
 
Several noted intellectuals who were killed from the time period of 25th March to 16th December, 1971 in different parts of the country include Dr. G. C. Dev (Philosopher, Professor at DU),Dr. Munir Chowdhury (Litterateur, Dramatist, Professor at DU), Dr. Mofazzal Haider Chowdhury (Litterateur, Professor at DU), Dr. Anawar Pasha (Litterateur, Professor at DU), Dr. Fazle Rabbi (cardiologist) , Dr. Alim Chowdhury (opthalmologist) , Shahidullah Kaisar (journalist) , Nizamuddin Ahmed (Reporter), Selina Parvin (reporter), Altaf Mahmud (lyricist and musician), Dr. Hobibur Rahman (mathematician, Professor at RU), Dhiren Dutt (politician) , R. P. Saha (philanthropist) , Lt. Col. Moazzem Hossain (ex-soldier) , Mamun Mahmood (Police Officer)and many others.
 
Noted writter Dr. Rashid Aksari stated in one of his writing "The paramilitary force Al-Badr, which was formed in September 1971 under the auspices of General Niazi, chief of the Eastern Command of the Pakistan Army, was the instigator of that hideous massacre. Their objective was to strike panic into the people by abduction and killing. It was the military adviser to the so-called Governor, Major General Rao Forman Ali who masterminded the whole conspiracy to extinguish the intellectuals and the higher educated class. Had they had one week time more, they would have killed all the Bengali intellectuals, which was a part of their master plan. The Badr force was in fact a special terrorist faction of the then Jamaat-e-Islami led by Moududi, Golam Azam, and Abdur Rahim.
 
He continues to narrate "Immediately after submitting the killing plan, Golam Azam, along with the chief of the Razakars, Mohammad Yunus, and the liaison officer of the Peace Committee, Mahbubur Rahman Gurha, went to see the training of the Razakar and Al-Badr at the Physical Training College. From then on the Student Sangha all over the country was transformed into Al-Badr and in the last week of November and first half of December the list of the intellectuals was handed over to them for abduction and persecution.
 
On December 4 began the imposed curfew and black out to pave the way for abduction. The preparation for abduction of the intellectuals extensively started from December 10. Amid curfew and black out, an Al-Badr bus, stained with mud, picked up the listed intellectuals from their residences. Then they were taken to the Al-Badr headquarter at Mohammadpur Physical Training College for interrogation and persecution. At dead of night they were taken to Rayerbazar brick field and killed. The killing also took place at Mirpur.
 
Golam Azam (born 1922) the mother of all killer, is a Bangladeshi political leader. He is also widely known as a war criminal who collaborated with the Pakistan Army during the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, particularly with regards to creating and managing the vigilante Razakar and Al-Badr forces. Recently released unclassified documents of the Pakistan government reiterate his role as a war criminal. He refused to accept the independence of Bangladesh upon its liberation on December 16th 1971, and was a permanent resident of Pakistan until 1978, and maintained Pakistani citizenship until 1994.
 
Entering politics as a student leader at Dhaka University, Azam became the secretary of the fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh in 1957. Later, he became the Amber (president) of the Jamaat in East Pakistan in 1969. During the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, he was accused of collaboration with the Pakistan Army, and was also accused of war crimes.
 
To the last leg of nine months long war on receiving an urgent telegram from Maududi, Golam Azam went to Lahore, on 22 November 1971, to see him. He could not return to Bangladesh as his citizenship was revoked by Sheikh Mujib government. Failing to return to Bangladesh the arch criminal went to Mecca, ostensibly, for Hajj.  From Saudi Arabia Go Azam traveled Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Beirut and Libya to lobby against Sheikh Mujib government and raise funds for counter revolution.
 
Following his extensive international PR activities Go Azam arrived in London. From London he published the Jamati newspaper Daily Sangram on a weekly basis.  In 1974, the weekly Bichitra published a very interesting report on Golam Azam's activities in London: In early 1974, Golam Azam presented a blueprint of anti Bangladesh activities at a committee meeting held in a house in East London. According to a reliable source some Pakistani nationals were also present in that meeting.
 
The participants in that secret meeting were: AT Sadi, Toaha bin Habib, Ali Hossain, Barrister Akhtar Uddin, Meher Ali and Dr Talukdar. Pakistani citizen Mahmud Ali is one of the top Pakistanis present in that meeting. The chair of the meeting Golam Azam said " to continue our activities from London will be difficult. So someone has to go back home. We ought to take risk-otherwise there will be no outcome. But if you go home-you will have contacts. I have already contacted my people. Everything is okay. Handing out a leaflet to all members present Golam said it has to be distributed among the people of every village of Bangladesh. People are with us.
 
According to some sources the said leaflet contained propaganda for a proposed confederation with Pakistan. Others believed that it called for an Islamic revolution organized using the network of mosques. Some people were reported to have arrested near Dhaka carrying those leaflets. Golam Azam also mentioned the proposed support for anti Bangladesh activities from Pakistan and some other Middle Eastern countries. (Like Zia) Golam Azam said 'Money is not a problem'.
 
It was heard that Golam Azam collected 45,000,000 Reals  from Saudi Arabia for reconstructing the mosques of Bangladesh demolished during the war. Shrewd Golam spent a large portion of that money to purchase a house in Manchester in UK. Presently his son Mehedi Hasan is living in that house. Golam' eldest son Kaifi Azmi is a senior officer in Bangladesh Army and believed to be working as a link between ISI cell in Bangladesh Army and Jamati Terrorist groups.
 
After the war, the Bangladesh government sought to remove the influence of the fundamentalists and collaborators, and Golam Azam's citizenship was cancelled. He chose to live in exile in Pakistan and England until 1978, when President Ziaur Rahman re-established multi-party democracy and legalized the previously banned fundamentalist parties, and allowed him to return to Bangladesh on a temporary visa.
 
Golam Azam became the unofficial Amber of the party while remaining in the country illegally (though no attempt was made to restrain him and he moved around openly), and his citizenship was restored in 1994 by a decision of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh.
 
Ghulam Azam announced his retirement from active politics in late 2000. He was succeeded by Motiur Rahman Nizami. Golam was Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami from 1969 to 2000 which is THIRTY ONE YEAR ( So called Islamic Democracy) probably just to follow the foot step of his leader Moududi who was also the ameer of  Jamaat from its formation on 6 August 1941 till 1972 which is THIRTY ONE YEAR too.
 
Ghulam Azam's party, Jamaat-e-Islami, has been accused by a cross section of political parties and secular organizations as a patron of recently (2002-2006) rising militancy and behind a number of terrorist bombings. Almost all of the recently arrested militants were alleged to have links in the past to either the Jamaat or its student wing, the Islami Chhatra Shibir some Bangladeshi newspapers such as The Daily Star, Prothom Alo, Janakantha and Bhorer Kagoj describes Jamaat as who favors destabilizations of mainstream politics so as to reap the dividend from the subsequent vacuum.

Part2: Jamaat-e-Islam Bangladesh : Profile of a killer: Golam Azam"Number One war criminal

E-mail Print PDF
As we all know that Jamaat-e-Islami which is now known as Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh was heavily drawn into mass murdering, rape, arson, looting and especially killing of intellectual during the last part of our glorious liberation war. Jamaat or Jamatis was related with most genocide that happened during nine months of liberation war. To understand the genocide of 1971 and those who committed the genocide we must recognize and identify Jamaat leaders and their heinous activities during 1971 as well as their conspiracy against the democratic secular Bangladesh at this time.
 
Most of the Jamaat leaders of today's Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh have a very dark chapter of their life which they try to hide by all means. Their heinous activities in the name of Allah and Islam they committed and continue to commit crime against humanity must be challenged. They were danger then and more dangerous now. Their treacherous activity is challenging for true democratization of our country where pluralistic society will thrive.
 
Jamaat-e-Islami who completely disagree with the basic premise of democratic pluralistic state and society by participation of all citizens with equal right and wants to establish Moulana Moududi version of Islam by any means.
 
Deceiving, lying and conniving manipulation of two faces Jamaat-e-Islam is in sequence with the teaching of their spiritual guide and founding father Syed Ab'ul Ala Maududi. In page 54 of his Voluminous "Tarjamanul Qura'an": - he said "Truth is one of the most important principles of Islam and lying is one of the greatest sins. But in real life some needs are such that telling a lie is not only allowed, in some circumstances it is decreed mandatory".
 
Dear readers, to uncover or revisit the truth, to understand the depth of Jamaat-e-Islam' s conspiracy against our democratic institution we have taken this step to bring Jamatis out of there closet and introduce them to our new generation.
 
We must understand the true enemy of pluralistic democratic Bangladesh is NONE BUT PAROCHIAL JAMAAT-E-ISLAM of Bangladesh.
 
I urge you to speak out against this vicious political identity and help our new generation to understand them better. Please contribute!
 
We start our second part of this series "Jamaat-e-Islam Bangladesh : Profile of a killers" series with Golam Azam the first Amber of Jamaat-e-Islam Bangladesh " aiming to expose these heinous killers and continue to uncover all other executive members of Jamaat-e-Islam Bangladesh .
