Assalamualaykum Brothers! Our team receives many testimonies about Saad. Some of them are extremely shocking such as Maulana Saad’s Money Laundering case! We have avoided publishing claims without proof.
However, this particular claim has gone viral. We are publishing this article to question and analyze the claims made in the video.
The Online Video
The video spread through WhatsApp. We have uploaded it to our YouTube channel for this analysis. We also added English subtitles.
Questionable Claims Made
The video and Naya Diganta article make several doubtful claims.
They claim that Israel has been trying to destabilize Bangladesh
The newspaper claims foreign agents tried to use the 2014 Tablighi Jamaat Crisis to create chaos in Bangladesh. Intelligence reports allegedly show these plans came from Israel and India.
Our Response
Why would Israel or ‘Enemies of Islam’ want to destabilize the previous Bangladesh Government? The corrupt Bangladesh Government was already Anti-Islam and beneficial to them.
#1 – They claim that Mufti Usama Islam was caught traveling to Israel
The article claims that in 2016, Ananta M A Jalil and Mufti Usama traveled to Israel. Mufti Usama is the son of Wasiful Islam, the top leader of the Saad group in Bangladesh. Ananta Jalil is a famous Bangladesh actor who became friends with Mufti Usama.
The article claims that when they returned, law enforcement tried to arrest them based on intelligence reports. These arrests failed because a neighboring country’s intelligence agency (likely India) intervened.
Our Response
Even if Usama Islam is corrupt and influenced by Israel, why would he need to go to Israel to make plans? He could simply communicate with them securely online. Today’s encryption technology makes hacking impossible even with Quantum Computers. Israel has no reason to invite foreign contacts when they can communicate online.
It is also known that corrupt Muslim Leaders are visited by Israel/Mossad in their own countries rather than traveling to Israel.
#2 – They claim that Wasiful Islam made a deal with the government to release his son
The article claims that Wasiful Islam (the top Saad group leader in Bangladesh) made a deal with then Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal. Despite intelligence reports showing their dangerous plans, high-level government leaders, intelligence officials, and the neighboring country’s intelligence agency stopped their arrest.
Our Response
We have no comment on this as we question why Usama Islam would go to Israel in the first place. What proof do they have of his trip to Israel? Show us immigration records, photo evidence, or any proof!
#3 – They claim that Mufti Usama Islam visited Israel again several times after the arrest
The article also claims that intelligence revealed Ananta Jalil and Mufti Usama made several more trips to Israel to develop sabotage plans. The current violent clashes and bloodshed are reportedly directed from both Israel and the “neighboring country.”
Our Response
If someone was caught going to Israel, why would they go there again, let alone several times? Couldn’t they just use secure online communication?
Conclusion
We conclude that currently, the claims made by Naya Diganta are highly unlikely and unverified. If you hear someone spreading this information, please advise them not to.
InshaAllah, let us be truthful and speak against falsehood even when the truth does not benefit us.
