The Ugly face Jamaat is always
exposed because of Jamaat's politics of hatemongering, discrimination and
violence. We still remember the incident when the East and West Pakistan
were physically two units but actually One Pakistan.
Why Jamatees be spared?. They should be brought to justice right from the
incident of 1971 when in United Pakistan these extremists led the bleeding of
innocent civilians, raping of women, they must be tried. No NRO sort of excuse
be extended to Jamatees who are the culprits and who were the main causes of the
hatred between the Bangoli speaking and the others.
The Chief Justice of Pakistan should bring the collaborators to justice. The
future of liberty, democracy, peace and stability in Pakistan surely depends on
the trial of the perpetrators of the genocide in 1971. We will support the Chief
Justice and the Government to take notice of Jamaat's politics of hatred,
violence, and discrimination in our democratic process, sabotaging the national
harmony and brotherhood among the nation.
Jamatees work just like the Fascists (1922-1943) and the Nazis' (1933-1945)
ascent to the political powers can be attributed, inter alia, to three important
factors: (i) the failure of the political establishments in Italy and Germany to
live up to the expectation of the people; (ii) the rise of ultra-nationalism;
and (iii) the activism of the extremely organized propaganda machines and
dedicated foot soldiers deployed by both the Fascists and the Nazis to undermine
the credibility of the politicians and dismantle the political establishments.
Does anyone has the glimpse of hope that this group of opportunists calls their
hypocratic party so called Jamaat-e-Islami believes in liberty, democratic
values, religious harmony and diversity or even humanity ? No sir, the answer
will be a big NO. This so called Jamaat-e-Islami should never been allowed to
participate in the democratic process in the first place.
Now take an example of Bangladesh, Jamaat-e-Islami is the reincarnation of the
Fascists of Italy and the Nazis of Germany. Its antipathy toward democracy and
liberty, its penchant for organized violence similar to those of Black Shirts
and Gestapo, and its discriminatory principles against religious minority like
that of Nazis are causes for serious concern. The reasons that should have
prohibited Karl Ruegar from participating in the democratic process equally
apply to Jamaat-e-Islami.
At least four compelling reasons would why Jamaat must be rejected from
participating in the democratic process. These reasons are as follows.
1- First, Jamaat-e-Islami doesn't believe in democracy or any form of godless
materialism. The excerpt 'Muslims who form the overwhelming majority will not
tolerate secularism, socialism, capitalism or godless materialism' (Abbas Ali
Khan, Jamaat-e-Islami's views on defence of Bangladesh, p4) bears testimony to
this effect. A political party or any organization which doesn't believe in
democracy must be cast out from the democratic process.
2- Second, Jamaat's view on political participation is discriminatory. Once
ascended to political power, Jamaat will not hesitate to restrict or even deny
the rights of religious minorities and women, thereby degrading their status to
second-class citizens. This fear is rightly justified when one reads the
following passage extracted from the article 'An Introduction to the
Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh'. The passage reads: 'Any sane and adult person can
become a Member of the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh if he or she accepts the basic
creed of the Jamaat-e-Islami as his or her own creed, accepts the aims and
objects of the Jamaat-e-Islami as his or her own aims and objects, pledges to
fulfil the demands of the constitution of the Jamaat-e-Islami, performs the
obligatory duties ordained by Islam' (An Introduction to Jamaat-e-Islami; http
://www.jamaat-e-islami.org/ index.php?option=com_about&task= introduction, p2).
Jamaat's creed being the belief in Islam, for any non-Muslim aspiring to hold
political office under Jamaat's hegemony must submit to the creed of
Jamaat-e-Islami. Such membership criterion is discriminatory, exclusive and
unconstitutional. Any form of forced exclusion is anti-democratic. And, by
requiring individuals to submit to the belief of any particular religion to be
eligible to participate in the political process is against the country's
constitution. Therefore, Jamaat is working against the constitution and must not
be allowed to participate in the political process.
3- Third, Jamaat's ultra-nationalistic view is anti-democratic and is a threat
to the regional peace and stability. Jamaat's ultra-nationalistic view, similar
to those of Karl Ruegar, Mussolini and Hitler, is reflected in the statement
'the psychology of the defence forces in Bangladesh must be anti-Indian' (Abbas
Ali Khan, Jamaat-e-Islami's views on defence of Bangladesh, p4). Such jingoistic
attitude is a serious threat to the regional peace and stability of the region
in general.
4- Fourth, in 1971, Jamaat was the responsible of one of the worst genocides in
the world history. Jamaat's crime against humanity led to the death of three
million civilians and rape of more than 200,000 women and destruction of
billions of dollars worth of properties. It's leadership including Golam Azam,
Motiur Rahman Nizami, Ali Ahsan Mujahidi, Kamaruzzam, Delawar Hossain Saidi have
never been tried in the court of law for committing such a heinous crime. On
October 28, 2006, the way few hundred armed Jamaat cadres stood up against
thousands of angry opposition activists can be reminiscent of the way a few
members of the black shirts used to dismantle political rallies during the
Fascist rule in Italy. The thousands of rounds of bullets that came out of the
guns of Jamaat cadres on that day indicates how ferocious Jamaat's foot soldiers
can get, even today, to protect their fervent belief from being strolled or
discredited.
Now the same stage is set in the Pakistani politics, Jamaat is trying to hug the
road and the favorite Game for Jamatees is Blame Game, because this sort of game
does not involve any struggle and construction. Criticising is the easiest game
so the blame game is the favorite game for the Jamaatees. They never answer the
Creation of Taliban Zaliman sort of facists and extremists, because Jamatees
fear that their own children (Taliban) who will not spare these Jamatees if even
a single word is spoken by any Jamatee against Taliban Zaliman.
As far as sectarian harmony is conerned, Divide and rule is the moto of
Jamat-e-Islami and they are working on their moto with reference to what
happened in Karachi on the 10th of Muharram. Who got the wounds, Jamatee's ? No
they are now enjoying the situation and trying to earn the most of it because
they know that their politics is finished in Karachi and these sorts of incident
give birth to Jamat's popularity, this is what Jamatee's believe and again all
these indicate that hatemongering, discrimination, and violence have always been
the principle strategies of Jamaat's politics to rise to political office. A
political party whose strategy and politics is based on such principles is
anti-democratic and must be rejected.
We once again condemn Jamatees' who led the bleeding of innocent civilians,
raping of women must be tried: we must compel the government to bring the
collaborators to justice. The future of liberty, democracy, peace and stability
largely depends on the trial of the perpetrators of the genocide in 1971, who
are undoubtly the cadre of Jamat-e-Islami.
Hope that the people in general will get these realization sooner in order to be
safe and secured from the poison of their policies who calls Taliban their
children and always favors them .
