Bangladesh actually is proof that Allah is NOT HaShem

From the little fact that amongst non-Christian Bengalis, the "Bengaliness" always dominates over religion--showing that "allah" (Old Nick) is NOT omnipotent, even over those whom he has enslaved (double-edge sword though, as it is also a difficulty in witnessing Gospel to Bengalis).

Note: it doesn't mean that Muslim Bengalis in Bangladesh don't discriminate against their Hindu Bengali neighbours (the decline in the non-Muslim percentage of population in Bangladesh, and non-coincidentally the increase in Bengali population in the northeastern states being evidence of this) but in face of a common external threat, the spirit of Bengaliness proved a unifier--which Pakistan found out the hard way in 1971.
