The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independentbranch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... leaders yesterday failed to show up before International Crimes Tribunal-2 for the third time in connection with a contempt of court rule issued against them. Even though the prosecution had again sought arrest warrants against them, the tribunal gave the Jamaat leaders another chance to appear before the court on Wednesday. |
