Do knowledgeable Indian Muslims
tacitly support Jamaat-e-Islami's bid for reprieve to Bangladesh's war criminals
Does this amount to treason or is it merely inhuman and un-Islamic

Reacting to
my statement in the recent brainstorming session New Age Islam Foundation had
organised among some Sufi-minded Indian scholars, Muhammad Yunus Saheb
shared the following thoughts with me in a personal letter but he allowed me to
choose whether to share it with readers. So I am putting it below in this
column for wider dissemination.
My comment: As far as I am concerned I continue to believe that
by supporting the war criminals of Bangladesh who were involved in the killings
of tens of thousands of innocent fellow Bengali Muslims Indian wing of Jamaat-e-Islami
is revealing its anti-national, inhuman and un-Islamic character. Also, that by
keeping quiet at Jamaat-e-Islami's public demonstration of its demonic face,
the larger Indian Muslim community, certainly the knowledgeable among them, are
participating in this treasonous, inhuman and un-Islamic act. I know these are
strong words, possibly revealing my own intolerance. But, be that as it may, I
do have very strong feelings about what happened in Bangladesh. I will try
briefly to explain why. Perhaps one should not tolerate everything
