March 26, 1971 Bangladesh (East Pakistan) declares its independence

Warning, graphic images

Human life reduced to an inch of foreskin

(Hindu or Muslim?):

General Tikka Khan was briefed not only by General Yahya Khan but also by Mr. Bhutto then riding the crest of a popularity wave as the new savior of Islam.

Gen Tikka in turn briefed his Army Senior Commanders and picked up a staff who would understand why a Muslim Massacre by a Muslim Army, Hindu slaughter, why all intellectuals were to be killed in cold blood, why all young Bengali Muslim girls were to be raped, not to satisfy lust but as a religious duty to produce a new generation of blue-blooded true Muslims.

When the Sheikh had finally turned down all sentimental arguments, pleading for still further sacrifices on the part of Bangladesh in the interest of Islam (as understood in Punjab), Bhutto made his appearance in Dacca for no reasons at all. He had arrived to strengthen the shaky hands of Yahya Khan, the Martial Law Administrator, and to advise him what action to take with hell raisers like Mujeeb.”

“ The first major slaughter appears to have taken place on 23 March, 1971, a day before the talks were ended and Gen Yahya flew back to Islamabad.

On this day thousands of people started collecting near Chittagong port. mostly they consisted of innocent laborers.

There was no government order prohibiting assemblies. Without warning, automatic fire was opened upon them and soon the whole area was littered with dead bodies. The dead were found to be over four thousand. Their bodies were thrown into the sea.

On 25 march 1971, the Pakistan forces entered Dacca University and went straight for Jaggannath Hall, which was a hostel for Hindu students. Over one hundred students were butchered mercilessly in their rooms.

Next morning Army units again arrived. They gathered all those who were wounded the previous day including Dr GC Deb, the Head of the department of philosophy, Dacca University, and ordered them to collect all the dead bodies from different rooms and pile them up in the courtyard of the hall.

It was a difficult and painful task for bleeding and disabled persons but orders had to be complied with. After this painful task was over, all the wounded including Dr GC Deb were lined up close to the dead bodies and shot dead mercilessly.

On 25 March 1971, all the hutments of poor people, mostly Muslim rickshaw pullers of Babupara Basti (slum) near New Market, Dhaka, were set ablaze with incendiary bombs. Machine guns were already in position to mow down any one who tried to escape from being burnt alive.

No one was to be spared.

Children and women met their fate along with their men folk. Over one hundred thousand were burnt in this inferno. They were all Muslims. Their only fault was that they formed a part of a large mass of people who wanted to earn enough to be able to live their miserable lives

On 26 March the same treatment was meted out to Muslims occupying huts along the railway line between Nikhot and Hatkhola. Incendiary bombs and Machine guns took a heavy toll of people who had no chance even to see the butchers of the Army.

In Naya Bazar Basti, in old Dhaka city, on the same day, Muslim Awami League supporters were given the same treatment, but their young girls were removed to Army camp for rape as a measure of mercy.

On the night of 25 March, Pak forces attacked East Bengal Rifles HQ in Chittagong. This formation consisted of loyal Bangalees who had served as a Pakistan Army for about 25 years. But they were not to be trusted any more since they were known to be sympathetic to Mujib’s movement for autonomy. About a thousand men who were under training to serve Pakistan were lined up and machine-gunned.

Curfew was first clamped down on Sylhet town on 25 March 1971 about which none of the inhabitants were given any notice. An old man was coming out of the mosque after prayers when he was shot dead. The Army men then asked his two sons to remove the dead body. As soon as they came near the dead body they were both shot dead also. This pile of three bodies was allowed to rot in open view as a lesson for others who might venture out to the mosque for prayers.

Another instance is quoted of whole rows of praying Muslims in a Mosque, being machine-gunned, with the remarks that they were not true Muslims and hence not entitled to pray in mosque.

On 27 March a house-to-house search was conducted in Sylhet town from where most people had run away to the countryside. All women left in the town were raped including one who was 60 years old. After committing rape on one girl, they chopped off her breasts. The poor thing collapsed and died on the spot.

On 31 March during day time Pahartoli locality of Chittagong town was attacked by the Pak Army in collaboration with Bihari refugees. About 3,000 Bangalees were killed and all women raped. About 500 beautiful girls were dragged to the cantonment and innumerable men used to rape them. One of these girls is reported to have remarked it is possible to stand the pangs of rape by so many beasts but impossible to bear the heat in body which results from excessive accumulation of semen.

About 40% population of Dinajpur district was of Hindus. Only a few could escape to India. The remainders were wiped out by the Pak Army. Some Hindus appealed to be concerted into Islam and spared the agony of torture to death. None was excused. All were shot dead and buried in one pit. On the report of one Sital Sarkar that Hindus of Singia village about 8 miles North East of Thakurgaon were still hoisting Bangladesh flag, the total Hindu population of that village consisting of about 1500 people was done to death in about half an hour and the dead bodies dumped in two large pits dug by the Hindus themselves.

Chittagong town perhaps suffered most. On 5/6 April the town was cordoned off, houses looted, women raped and after the rape naked women were marched to the river for a bath– all tied with ropes like cattle.

About 50 girls were taken to Ramgarh military cantonment where each girl was raped daily by about 10 to 15 men. At the time of rape the Pakistanis would shout “Joy Bangla” the war cry of freedom fighters and ask their miserable victims to shout for help to their father, “Sheikh Mujeeb.” Here all those affected were upper and middle class Muslims.

On 10 April 1971, Biharis(non-Bengali Muslim migrants from Bihar, India) observed what they called a ‘Revenge Day’ in Dhaka with the full cooperation of the Pak Army.

The area chosen in Dhaka lay between Mirpur and Syamoli, since it was mainly occupied by upper and middle class Muslim government servants. The whole locality was cordoned off by Pak forces. Non-Bangalees were then let loose to satisfy all their sadist tendencies. After loot and butchery they raped every women.

Killing continued while rape was being done. About 3,000 Bangalees lost their lives. No one knows the number of women who lost their honor besides lives. Those were some of the reasons for Biharis being denied Bangladesh citizenship.

There was yet another cruelty practiced which has no precedence in history. During curfew hours Pak soldiers used to collect all the young boys they could find in the houses. They were blindfolded and handcuffed and taken to hospitals where their total blood used to be drained off. After which their dead bodies were thrown into Buri Ganga River. This is reported to have been practiced at many places throughout Bangladesh.

One Kuti Sen, a Bengali Hindu, who had not been able to run away to India, was caught and handed over to the Muslim leaguers gathered in the local football field. A Pak Army Officer gave a lecture, which was explained, to the Bengali Muslim leaguers by an interpreter. The gist of the lecture was that all Hindus were agents of India and, therefore Muslims should kill them as an act of religious duty. Kuti Sen was tied with ropes, thrown on the ground and kicked to death by all present as an act of piety.

On recapture of Maulabi Bazar, then a sub -division of Sylhet district, in the third week of April, the town was looted and all suspects killed. All fair looking young girls were taken to Army camp and raped. Next morning they were brought naked to the local playground and compelled to dance before the leaders of the Muslim League throughout the day. Then they were taken to Shibpur Army camp and nothing was heard about them again.

On 1st April 1971, a most horrifying thing happened in Holati village under the Sabhar PS of Dhaka district:

The village was surrounded on all sides by Pak Army men accompanied by Biharis armed with daggers and spears. This was a pro-Awami League Hindu village. It was set on fire where even the cattle and domestic animals got burnt alive. Those who ran out were machine gunned as usual except some girls who were saved for sadistic pleasures. Babies were snatched from their mother and thrown up to fall on the pointed bayonets as an exercise in dexterity. The breasts of their mothers were chopped off and inserted into the mouths of the dead bodies. Those still alive were asked to shout ‘Joy Pakistan’. Most of them did as they were told by the sadist butchers. A boy aged six years, however, innocently said ‘Joy Bangla’ the slogan he was used to shouting. This enraged the Army men so much that they cut that boy into fifty pieces and gave one piece each to the Hindus still alive to eat. On their refusal they were all shot dead to the glory of Pakistan.

The few young girls who were spared the mercy of death were told not to be afraid. “ We are not going to hurt you or kill you. You have been chosen to receive the good Muslim semen so that you give birth to true Muslims and not the bastards like Mujib” Those girls were dragged away to the Army camp at Tungi.

Here is another instance of the horrible tricks the Pak Army used to kill Bangalees. On 27 April 1971, the Pak Army decided to treat the derailment of a train at Goal Tek as an act of sabotage. Actually the railway track had given way due to erosion of the soft soil under the track. But while ravaging the Bangalees was the main agenda any excuse would do.

Four villages in the vicinity i.e. Goal Tek, Morkon, Pagar and Abdullapur were charged with sheltering the Mukti Bahini (Freedom Fighters) and committing sabotage. The villages were set on fire while the inhabitants were asked to gather along with their families in selected places in batches of about thirty. Here fathers and brothers were asked to rape their daughters and sisters in front of the gathering. On refusal all of them were butchered including women and children. They were all Muslims. In some places people were forced to jump into the fire and were roasted alive

Major General SS Uban: Phantoms of Chittagong“…….After I went to office on March 29, I was asked to go to Sakharibazar along with others for moving dead bodies by trucks. As there were Pakistani troops patrolling the road and fire was in front of the Judge court, we couldn’t go to Sakharibazar through that way. We entered Sakharibazar from the west side crossing past the Patuatuli police station. We checked all the homes of that area and found dead bodies of all age groups: men, women, youth, elderly, teen-agers and kids in almost every room. Most of the buildings were destroyed. Most of the female bodies were without clothes. Their breasts were cut off. We found sticks pushed into their genitalia. Many of the bodies were burnt. While the Punjabi troops showered the area with bullets, the Biharis looted their homes. We quickly filled two trucks with dead bodies and left the area. Although there were heaps of dead bodies we did not go back to Sakharibazar the same day for fear of getting killed.

I was asked to clear Mill Barrack off dead bodies on March 30. When I got there with the council truck, I saw dead bodies scattered around the place. Many bodies of young males were tied with ropes. As we cut off the rope we found that their hands were tied at the back, blind folded and faces were acid burnt so as to erase their identity. The air reeked with rotten corpses and shot bodies were found entwined with the bayonet-slit ones. Some skulls were smashed and brains seeping out. I found dead bodies of six pretty girls on the river bank: stark naked and shot dead but with blood smeared breasts and genitalia. I dumped about 70 bodies, picked from Mill-barrack, at Dhalpur garbage after taking them from Mill Barrack ghat.

Later I was asked to clear Sadarghat, Shyam Bazar and Badam Toli. I took decomposed bodies from those places to dump at Dhalpur garbage. The day I cleared Kalibari, I had also to carry bodies from a teacher’s residence behind the Rokeya Hall of Dhaka University. I carried a total of nine bodies, men and kids, from the staff quarters behind the Rokeya Hall. Moreover I also took away the dead body of a university teacher from the staircase of his residence. The body was wrapped up with mattress.

AND WITH STRAIGHT FACES THEY TELL US ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE

March 26, 1799: Napolean captures Jaffa Palestine.

In May Napoleon sailed for Egypt with the 40,000 strong Army of the Orient, while the threat of a French invasion would keep the Royal Navy close to home. He quickly captured Malta and then landed in force at Alexandria 1st July 1798.

The port was quickly overrun as was much of the Nile Delta with the Battle of the Pyramids 21st July seeing the smashing of a larger Mameluke army with great loss, with Cairo being captured the next day. Despite such successes things were about to take a turn for the worse for the French.

On 1st August Nelson destroyed The French Fleet in Aboukir Bay, cutting the French Army and Napoleon off in hostile territory with a Turkish Army now gathering in Syria in preparation to attack the French.

Napoleon took the offensive leading 8,000 men into Syria in February 1799. In March he captured El Arish and Jaffa where he slaughter 2000 Albanian prisoners.

1804 Bonaparte Visiting the Pesthouse in Jaffa

In mid April Napoleon defeated a Turkish attempt to lift the siege at the battle of Mount Tabor, but disease was now taking its toll on the French and Napoleon abandoned the siege in late May. In a shadow of future events Napoleon then had a grueling retreat back to Cairo and by the time the expedition had returned to Cairo 25% of his men had been lost. In July a large Turkish army of 18,000 arrived in Aboukir having been transported by British ships from Rhodes. Napoleon attacked on 25th July with only 6,000 men .

During the battle Marshals Lannes and Murat distinguished themselves and the Turks were once again routed. Napoleon could see no progress in Egypt so with unrest at home he slipped away from his army on a frigate and was back in Paris by October 1799.March 26, 1979 Camp David peace treaty between Israel ; Egypt

The Camp David Accords were signed by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin on September 17, 1978, following twelve days of secret negotiations at Camp David. The two agreements were signed at the White House, and were witnessed by United States President Jimmy Carter There were two 1978 Camp David agreements A Framework for Peace in the Middle East and A Framework for the Conclusion of a Peace Treaty between Egypt and IsraelYet few understood the brilliant cunning of the first Arab leader to make use of Israel’s willingness to make sacrifices for “peace”. Does anyone remember, or want to remember, that, at his first meeting with Begin, Sadat sported a necktie decorated completely with swastikas?

He had no love for Israel and no love for Jews. His “peace treaty” with Israel gained him Jewish land, without having to fight for it. It also gained him unprecedented American financial and military aid. And what was his contribution for “peace”?

He signed a piece of paper recognizing the right of Israel to exist; diplomats were exchanged; and borders were opened to tourism, albeit that most of the tourists are Israeli’s going to Egypt and not the other way around, and that Israeli tourists have been murdered when visiting that country.March 26, 1992, Bosanski Brod, Bosnia First massacre in Bosnia ,Croat and Bosnian Muslim forces executed, mutilated, and beheaded 20 Bosnian Serb civilians in Sijekovac near Bosanski Brod. An 85 year Bosnian Serb was executed and then burned inside his house. The decapitated and mutilated corpses of Bosnian Serbs murdered in northern Bosnia near Brod.

March 26, 1996; a group of armed men break into a Trappist monastery in the remote mountain region of Tibhirine, Algeria, and kidnap seven of the nine monks living there. They are held hostage for two months and then Djamel Zitouni, head of the Groupe Islamique Armé (GIA), announces that they were all killed on May 21, 1996. The French government and the Roman Catholic church state the GIA is to blame. But years later, Abdelkhader Tigha, former head of Algeria’s military security, will claim the kidnapping was planned by Algerian officials to get the monks out of a highly contested area. He says government agents kidnapped the monks and then handed them to a double agent in the GIA. But the plan went awry and the militants assigned to carry it out killed the monks. Furthermore, it will later be alleged that Zitouni was a mole for Algerian intelligence

In 2004, Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika will reopen the controversy when he says of the monks’ deaths, “Not all truth is good to say when [the issue is still] hot.” He will also say, “Don’t forget that the army saved Algeria. Whatever the deviations there may have been, and there were some, just because you have some rotten tomatoes you do not throw all of them away.”

Today

March 26, 2009: Manila, Philipins. Muslim militants holding captive three Red Cross workers in the southern Philippines have threatened to behead one of the hostages if government troops do not move out of their jungle hideouts by the end of the month, officials said Wednesday.

The latest threat was issued by Abu Sayyaf rebel leader Albader Parad on Monday as the military stepped up a blockade to prevent food and supplies from reaching the guerrillas in the hinterland of Indanan town on Jolo island, 1,000 kilometres south of Manila.

.”The hostages – Swiss Andreas Notter, Italian Eugenio Vagni and Filipino Mary Jean Lacaba – were abducted on January 15 after visiting the Jolo provincial jail to oversee a water and sanitation project.

Last week, clashes erupted between the Abu Sayyaf and Marines circling the kidnappers, killing three government troops and six guerrillas. Parad threatened to behead one of the hostages if the military continued its offensive or launched a rescue attempt.

He also promised to free one of the Red Cross workers if the troops moved away from their encampment. While troops re-positioned away from Indanan, the Abu Sayyaf did not release a hostage and demanded that government forces pull back further.

The armed forces, however, ruled out a larger troop pullout. “They are asking too much because it will be like pulling out our troops from the entire island,” armed forces spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Ernesto Torres said. “It is hard to rely on what they are saying.”

Today’s khutbah (Islamic sermon)An-Nisa 4. 3-5

3.

If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.

4.

And give the women (on marriage) their dower as a free gift; but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, Take it and enjoy it with right good cheer.

5.

To those weak of understanding Make not over your property, which Allah hath made a means of support for you, but feed and clothe them therewith, and speak to them words of kindness and justice.

The above verse is often quoted by people advo­cating a strictly monogamous relationship. Verse (4:3) above calls for equal fairness (justice) to be meted out to the spouses. However (4:3) should be read and under­stood in conjunction with its complementary verse, viz.

(4: 129)

“And it will not be within your power to treat your wives with equal fairness, however much you may desire it; and so, do not allow yourselves TO incline TOWARDS ONE TO THE EXCLUSION OF THE OTHER. LEAVING HER IN A STATE AS IT WERE OF HAVING AND NOT HAVING A HUSBAND. But if you put things right and are conscious of Him — behold, Allah is indeed Much-forgiving, Dispenser of Grace.”

The above verse makes it very clear that Allah (SWT), being the Ahkamul-Haakimeen (the Most Wise of those who are wise) tells us that it is not JUSTICE that is de­manded, but rather that the husband “should not incline towards one to the exclusion of the other.” In other words, one should practise EQUITY, over and above justice. ‘Eq­uity’ should not be confused with ‘justice’. The dictio­naries define ‘equity’ as: “The quality of being impartial or reasonable; fairness.” In the ethical scheme of things, if equity is genuinely practised, then justice has no choice but to fall in line!

POLYGAMY is a state wherein a man or a woman has many spouses. POL’YANDRY is a state wherein a woman has many husbands. Islam allows POLYGYNY —a situation wherein a man may have more than one wife, and that too under certain strict conditions.

There was little appetite for unification with Albania itself, which was ruled by a Stalinist government and had considerably worse living standards than Kosovo. Beginning in March 1981, Kosovar Albanian students organized protests seeking that Kosovo become a republic within Yugoslavia. Those protests rapidly escalated into violent riots “involving 20,000 people in six cities” that were harshly contained by the Yugoslav government.March 26, 1991: Citibank offices in Istanbul and Izmir, Turkey were bombed.

The aircraft, which had been deployed by Tenneco Oil, carried five people including two employees of Tenneco, an employee of Texaco, and a UN official. In return for their release, the EIJM/ELF demanded that Tenneco assist them in freeing 75 prisoners held by the Ethiopian government, employ a journalist to publish the Eritrean Islamic Jihad story, and suspend further oil exploration until the Eritrean region of Ethiopia came under EIJM/ELF control.

They also demanded that the hostages not return to Ethiopia.Tenneco agreed to discuss the demands, so at one point during the negotiations, the EIJM/ELF agreed to release two of their corporate victims. A second helicopter was sent by Tenneco to retrieve them on May 27, but its pilot was also taken hostage. (Never trust a Muslim. Their religion instructs them to deceive Infidels in order to make them easier prey. The Muslims knew what the Qur’an taught and the Tenneco executives did not.).

As we shall soon discover, following the May 27 thwarted rescue, the Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement kidnapped two Christian missionary nurses, one American and the other Dutch. The Dutch nurse was killed on the day of her capture. The American nurse and the pilot of the second helicopter were held as prisoners for three long months. On June 26th, the first pilot was released but the remaining four hostages were kept captive in very primitive and harsh conditions for six months.March 26, 1960 Iraq executes 30 after attack on President Kassem.

In 1959, under sentence of death in absentia for his involvement in an assassination attempt against President Abdul Karim Kassem, a general who had seized power the year before, Saddam Hussien fled to Syria and Egypt.

In Cairo he studied law and joined the Baath Party, a revolutionary group of Arab nationalists. He returned to Iraq in 1963, and by the time the Baathists staged their 1968 coup under General Bakr, Saddam had become second in command. He set up his own secret police organization, suppressed all challengers, and soon became the real power in the country.March 26, 1910 US forbid immigration to criminals, anarchists, paupers & the sick.

It would be a good idea to bring back these laws,and add an obvious cult,whose cultists just happens to be mostly, criminals, anarchists, paupers, and mentally sick.

Thats all today folks
