Dear sirs,
Assalamu Alaikum. Mr Taj’s arguments are not very sophisticated or rational.
Any party can commit mistake about any coming election.It can be no basis for assessing a party.
It is not true that Jamaat does not learn or adopt new program.It is rigid only on the core of Islam which no Muslim can object or change.It is totally open in its political, economic and social program.It has opened up a lot on gender and Non-Muslim issue. Non-Muslims can become member of the party.
I am not responding to all points.

On why Jamaat-e-Islami does not deserve our sympathy
Without referring to the events of 1971 and the allegations of war crimes offences leveled against several Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) leaders I would like to draw the reader's attention to other aspects of this case since the charges framed against the five accused remain to be proved and we should not preempt the findings of a court of law. The JeI finds itself in this present predicament solely out of its own doing and cannot blame anyone but itself. Its decision to participate and pressure the BNP to join in the 2008 elections against the better judgment of Khaleda Zia led to the Awami League gaining an overwhelming majority in Parliament which they are now using to their full advantage. That the elections might be rigged or manipulated under the dubious stewardship of Gen. Moin U. Ahmad never seems to have occurred to the JeI leaders. This single act of stupidity sealed the fate of the party and its five senior most leaders who are now languishing in jail.
That the JeI had been repeatedly warned that the
The obvious reason for the JeI's political immaturity and incompetence is that while internally democratic it is ideologically and doctrinally rigid and is therefore incapable of absorbing outside opinion. Primarily for this reason many of its leaders and supporters suffer from intellectual arrogance and a certain pompousness in character such as Motiur Rahman Nizami, Delwar Hossain Sayeedi and Mahmudur Rahman, none of whom are original thinkers. Even after the election debacle the top leaders of the party were allowed to retain their positions. This last point proves that the JeI cannot be reformed and so no one should be surprised that there was no outburst after the arrest of its leaders as the monolithic structure of the party cannot quickly adapt to the new situation.
In conclusion one may ask if the JeI has a right to our sympathy regardless of what may have been their involvement in the events of 1971. My answer is no. Does the party deserve our condemnation? My answer is an unreserved yes. Should we nevertheless support the JeI? My answer is still no. Should we accept JeI help in saving the country from the fascist
