A question

The Muslims, world over, know that the Battle of Badr was the first and the most glorious battle ever fought in the name of Allah , the Merciful. For the first time the followers of the new faith were put to a serious test. This battle proved to be a milestone in the history of Islam which ushered in the dawn of a new religion, Islam, the youngest of all and the fastest in its following. The victory of Badr was spectacular, 313 Muslims defeated a large army of 950 men.
Of late, time and again, I come across the word 'Badr' being used to brand a group of people who opposed the independence of Bangladesh in 1971. This word should not be used to describe the war criminals.
