Golam Azam


Golam Azam (literally means "Great Servant or Slave", aptly named considering his lifelong service to his masters, the Pakistanis) is the chief planner of many murders and rapes in 1971 war. During the war he termed the numerous rapes of Bangali married and unmarried women by the Pakistanis and their supporters as "Muta Marriages" (temporary marriages which are banned in traditional Islam) through self-styled religious edict (fatwa). He is not only very unrepentant of his and his party's war crime roles, but also very proud of it. Not many years ago he arrogantly made a remark "Ekattore bhul kori nai" (Did not make any mistake in 71). His party, the banned Jamaat-e-Islami (a political party based on Pakistani scholar Moududi’s twisted religious teachings), and other 'anti-liberation' entities took part in the 1971.

The greatest criminal Golam Ajam had to take shelter in Pakistan. The other big criminals like Moilana Matiur Rahman Nijami and Ali Ahsan Mujahid were either rotting in the prison or took shelter in Pakistan, the safehaven of 1971 war criminals and 1975 murderers.
