Thanks sir, I would like more info on the role of Jamaat e Islami and the Islamic pro-Pakistan parties at the time. Did their members commit rapes and massacres on mass scale too? If not, what was their stance on these two things (rape and killing) which were happening during the war?

This Bangladeshi newspaper claims that Ghulam Azam and Matiur Rahman Nizami gave fatwa that it was permissible to kill and rape to 'save Islam': http://opinion.bdnews24.com/2013/03/16/language-movement-liberation-war-71-genocide-and-shahbagh/

I would like your comment on its authenticity.

Assalamalaikm sir you can post message here. Jazakallah

What is the issue?

On wikipedia page, it says a fatwa was issued in 1971 that said that Hindu women can be taken as 'booty of war'. So I wanted to ask you about the authenticity of this piece of info on wikipedia. Perhaps you know something about it due to ur presence then. I also want to know abt Jamaat e Islami's alleged role in the war crimes. If you could help me, I will be very grateful sir.

1.I shall be glad to help you with any info known to me.
2. I am not aware of any fatwa allowing rape of Hindu women. However, it is a fact that Muslim men in SA have always looked at Hindu women as objects of conquest. This is a centuries old phenomenon. Also true of Bengali males.

Okay thanks sir. Sir I would like more info on the role of Jamaat e Islami and the Islamic pro-Pakistan parties at the time. Did their members commit rapes and massacres on mass scale too? If not, what was their stance on these two things (rape and killing) which were happening during the war?
