I am really interested to know how you will validate those statistics from your "Islamic" perspective -"According to New York Times (3/28/71) 10,000 people were killed; New York Times (3/29/71) 5,000-7,000 people were killed in Dhaka; The Sydney Morning Herald (3/29/71) 10,000 - 100,000 were killed; New York Times (4/1/71) 35,000 were killed in Dhaka during operation searchlight."
And what do you think when a Pakistani soldier confesses that - "…… we were told to kill the hindus and Kafirs (non-believer in God). One day in June, we cordoned a village and were ordered to kill the Kafirs in that area. We found all the village women reciting from the Holy Quran, and the men holding special congregational prayers seeking God’s mercy. But they were unlucky. Our commanding officer ordered us not to waste any time.”(Source: genocidebangladesh.org) Well, I believe you may argue that these sources do not proof anything as they are from "secular" sources. There is a huge number of videos uploaded in the same website I am really interested to know you deny those visual facts from your "Islamic" perspective. These video clips might be captured by secular cameras but what they captured happened, right? What do you think? I really love this Quranic quote - "If anyone slays a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if s/he slew all people. And if anyone saves a life, it would be as if s/he saved the life of all people." (Qur'an 5:32) I am really interested to know how you will explain that all murdered Dhaka university students in the video actually were slayed for their "mischief".

Even if you insist on justifying the independence movement, by spreading typical lies about systemic rape, mass killings by Pakistan army and pro state activists- it will not serve your purpose. Immediately after independence, Awami league activists and its paramilitary forces killed more Bengali’s then what the Pakistani army did during the civil war. Even now, there student bodies celebrate completing century of rapes. So what will be your next action? Since you are the proponent of the bigoted idea of justifying the breaking of an entire country based solely on rape, killings committed by individuals- then why didn’t you do the same with Bangladesh?
I have never denied that there were incidences of rape and killings, but those were isolated cases and not a systemic act perpetrated by pro Pakistanis. Peoples like you even came up with the preposterous notion that portrays the Pro Pakistan ideology as the promoter of rape and mass killings. With no shortage of naive believers, anti Pakistan historians also depict respected and renowned religious personalities as rapists! In their books, you will never find an iota of space for those Bihari’s and pro Pakistani Bengalis- brutally killed, raped and looted by the so-called freedom fighters. However, in their books you will never fail to find imaginary stories about the bravery(?) of Mukti Bahini, while in reality they couldn’t even capture a single district city by themselves. Only when India entered the war, their hapless state began to change. However, these writers’ lies are so deep that even India’s decisive contribution is rarely mentioned. Bangladesh's history is full of such lies. And to protect such lies they violently resist any attempt to spread the truth.
Now regarding the number of casualties in the 71 war, any unnecessary loss of human life is greatly regrettable. Civil wars bound to create human sufferings and those who orchestrated such war must be held accountable. When Sheikh Mujib started the treachery with the direct support from India, he knew perfectly well the consequence of such heinous action. Do not try to elude from that fact. Let me give you a hypothetical scenario. Bangladesh is already politically polarised country based on primarily Awami League and BNP. Now Allah forbid, if there comes a situation that these two parties engage in bloody confrontation, what would you do? Will you break the country based on the narrow political difference? Judging from your comment it seems you would. As a Muslim, you ought to find it disheartening when you study the history. From Bengal the Pakistan movement begun and in the span of 25 years it is the Bengali’s who destroyed it with the help of India. Indeed, that generation in 71 were not as enlightened and far-sighted as those in 47. Being the majority, rather then contributing to the prosperity and defense of Pakistan, resorted only to constant gibberish of blaming our every failures to those in West Pakistan.
If you are a secularist or nationalist then I don’t see any point of arguing as for them it’s perfectly reasonable to feel elated over the breakage of a Muslim country following a narrow nationalistic line. But when I see people like you attempting to use Quranic verses out of context to support that treachery, I find it totally unacceptable. When it comes to treating such traitors our prophet and his companions acted with iron fist, because breaking an Islamic bond with the help of infidel’s is a punishable act. Even those who rejected to give 'Jakat' to state fund was killed by Hazrat Abu Bakr - one of the most softhearted ruler. Read the Quran, you will find the verse that says creating chaos (Fitna) is more criminal act than killing a human, because such chaos destroys a Ummah. Awami League and the other secularists’ forces in Bangladesh showed its mastery in such heinous acts. There is no denying that Pakistan had plenty of problems like any other country, which could have been amicably solved by dialogue and political struggle. However, under no circumstances it justified taking arms from Kuffar’s to break the largest Muslim country. That’s the main point. When people will understand their own Islamic obligations then they will throw this Kuffar sponsored heroes to dustbin. Awami League itself understands that, hence you see there continuous effort to stifle the propagation of Islamic thoughts. Have you ever wondered why the absolute majority of Islamic scholars, Ullama’s and all Islamic parties were against breaking of Pakistan and why the secularists depicts a Razakar, having the quintessential Muslim features (i.e having long beard, wearing prayer hat)? Did you ever ponder on their point? Can they be the promoters of rape, lootings? But such miscarriage of truth is not uncommon when criminals starts writing history.
