Not all Imams and Mullahs said that in support of Pakistan, Many Imams and other religious scholars supported the Bangladesh Liberation Cause or condemned the assault. BangladeshiEditorInSylhet (talk) 14:38, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
I have restored the status quo version before the edit wars began. This version is more than a year old and much more stable than the version I reverted. There are a lot of issues with the reverted version, some of which I am explaining below:
The version says "Bengali Muslims were targeted in this pogrom due to supposedly retaining Hindu traditions." That is a blatant WP:OR since there is no source that says "Bengali Muslims" were "targeted", it is the Hindus who were targeted according to the sources. The quotation from the cited source says "Muslim Bengali women have been raped by Pakistani soldiers", yes they were raped but the targets were essentially Hindus. see Islam, M. Rafiqul (2019). National Trials of International Crimes in Bangladesh: Transitional Justice as Reflected in Judgments. BRILL. pp. 175. ISBN 978-90-04-38938-0. quote: "The Pakistani occupation army and its local collaborators targeted mostly the Hindu women and girls for rape and sexual violence."
The version also says "Bengali Muslim men were targets of rape by West Pakistani soldiers as well." That is another WP:OR, as I said, there is no source that says Bengali Muslims were the targets. The cited source here says "Oral testimonies I have gathered suggest that Bengali Muslim men were raped", this is a personal opinion of the author, and thus WP:PRIMARY, fails WP:HISTRS. Yet, the source in no part says that they were the "targets".
