[ALOCHONA] Ghulam Azam - a leader in Language Movement (a brief history)



I'm surprised why Ghulam Azam was completely acquitted and his citizenship was restored by the highest court (the Supreme Court) of Bangladesh notwithstanding all these filthy allegations against him!!! A loser must bark for his mean political gain. If politics loses the minimum sense of decency, the adherents can fabricate so many nasty fatwas and ascribe to their opponents. Their conscience doesn't even prevent them from oppressing and torturing women covered with hijab by baselessly and falsely labeling them as linked to jongis as has been ruthlessly happening to 3 innocent women in Pirojpur. This is the BAKSALi and BAList version of human rights. Let us see how far deep in the hell they can bring the nation for their vested interests and in their absolute allegiant service to their foreign masters. Regards. MS

Can I legalize someone's crime be it rape or whatever? How? And why i should be treated as a criminal for someone else's crime? or If I issue a fatwa for or against a crime, then am i complicit about the crime? I don't think so.

I believe no body would been raped or killed if the then pakistan was not attacked by a foriegn country. do we not require an UN resolution to attack a country for whatever reason? If we don't have an UN resolution does it not make the war itself illegal? If without an UN resolution, one country attacks another country, does not make the war itself illegal, then i think, a fawta from a person does not make him complicit for another persons crime. Not at all. How can we be selective about the war's legality issue and go about define a person's immoral support for someone's crime and call him war-criminal?

I think Mosa's selective dilemma of calling someone "war criminal" while vicdicating the war as legal when an UN resolution was lacking. Just because, Iraqis were lucking freedom but war for iraqi freedom does not make that war itself legal. war of Iraqi freedom is the best example can be drawn in place of war of bangladeshi freedom. Both the war was illegal since the both war was lacking UN resolutions.

JU's BAL's student wing had celebrated rape century during BAL's reign, how can i be a crimal if i take side(as all BAL had supported that guy's crime) with the guy who had raped his fellow students? I might be an immoral person for supporting the rape century, but I m being immoral, does not constitute a crime for me and hence i should not be held responsible for other's crime and labeling me as a war-criminal, makes Mr. Mosa a criminal for calling me a criminal.

The question is how did this man Ghulam Azam become a hardcore war
criminal in 1971? I will always remember him for his evil fatwa where he tried to legalize the Pakistani Army's wholesale rapes as "Mutah marriage". Thank Allah, not many people are inhuman like him.
