I need you to sit with this for a moment: In 1971, Pakistani soldiers went into Bengali villages and asked one question: "Where do the Hindus live?" Then they went there. 200,000 to 400,000 women were raped. Systematically. As a weapon. The perpetrators weren't just soldiers — they were Jamaat-e-Islami militants. A Muslim Brotherhood affiliate. I've spent years documenting what political Islam does when it has power. This is what it does when it has power. 🇧🇩 The 1971 Bangladesh genocide has never been recognized by the US or UK. Say their names. Break the silence.

People ask why the 1971 Bangladesh genocide is never discussed. Let me explain the organizational structure most don't know. The Pakistani Army supplied the firepower. But the ideological killing machine had a name: Jamaat-e-Islami. Their two armed wings: → Al-Badr: hunted Hindu intellectuals, professors, community leaders → Al-Shams: carried out mass village massacres Jamaat-e-Islami is a direct Muslim Brotherhood affiliate. Maulana Maudoodi was it's founder. Maulana Maududi influenced the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood (particularly through his writings on the Islamic state and jihad) and was influential in South Asia. Hassan-al-Banna and Maudoodi were central to 20th-century Islamism and shared the goal of establishing an Islamic state based on Sharia law. This was not chaos. It was a coordinated, ideologically-driven extermination campaign. As someone of Pakistani heritage — I say this clearly: Pakistan has never been held accountable. That must change. To top it all, 93000 Pakistan Army raped 300,000 Bangladeshi girls and women before surrendering. The same ideolgy is carried on by ethnic Pakistanis in the UK - they raped 250,000 little white girls and women.
