lands and Bem was sent there by the
Hungarian Revolutionary Government in order to supress this movement. Therefore he initiated the massacres of 40.000 local civilian citizens as a retaliation for the harrasement of the Bem's soldiers by local guerilla fighters. He never had the popular support of the local population (except the Hungarian local groups). During several local battles with organised army cores of Transsylvanians (the famous mountain highlanders legions, under the leadership of Avram Iancu) he was constantly defeated and his armies repelled. The main reason of his final defeat are therefore his odious massacres he ordered against civilian locals and his incapacity to deal with the smaller Transsylvanian Highlanders army cores. It is worthy to remember the odious and criminal nature of Joseph Bem's character, who was indeed an antecessor of sinister figures as Himmler and Goebbels.

even today, as a cruel and coward murderer of thousands of women and childrens. Of course, we can find even today
Hungarian extremists who are considering this war criminal as a "hero", but remember that we can find also people who are considering Hitler and Himmler as "heroes". As we can see, this wikipedia article is obviousely presenting only the POV of the Bem's admirers (see also the bibliografic ressources of the article) and therefore the value of the article is totally undermined. Maybe one day, wikipedia will change and will rennounce to that kind of pro-criminal atitudes. I hope that this day will come soon..

documented and undeniable. After 1849, no
Christian country accepted him as a refugee. Even in Hungary and Poland, many educated people are aware of the dark side of his personality and are not supporting anymore his personality cult, promoted during the late 19 th century by the Hungarian ultra-nationalists. Get real and accept the evidence. Josef Bem, like Hitler and Stalin, was a great fighter for his country and for his adoptive country (hungary) but like Hitler and Stalin, he was also a savage criminal. The adulation of the monsters is not a healthy behaviour for neither nation.

Any claims to the contrary are likely to be family myths or based on the forged birth certificate of Józef's father, Andrzej, created by Włodzimierz Bem de Cosban
1137:
In the case of Bem, the comparison with mass criminals as
Himmler is absolutely normal. He ordered massacres, he defended a so-called "Hungarian revolution" and when he was defeated in war, he had absolutely no problem to renounce to his religion and became a Muslim. In Transsylvania, Bem is recalled
1122:
In
Transsylvania, where Bem fought during much of the Hungaria 1848 Revolution, he is remembered as a savage criminal of war, because he ordered extensive massacres of the local native population. The Transsylvanian's aim during the Revolution was to unite Transsylvania with the rest of the Romanian

I honestly believe that
Knowledge should avoid political clichés and should be as politically neutral as possible. In this article, it would be advisable to change "European patriotic movements" to "European insurgent movements". In the cause of the wars in which Bem participated, the population of

He pretended to become a muslim, so the ottoms would accept his service. He only went to Turkey to be able to continue fighting against the tsarist regime. He hoped any weakening of
Russian Empire would bring hope of liberation for his polish motherland. He would probably have taken zoro-astrianism
1176:
As a matter of fact, Bem's "greatness" in
Transsylvania is his horrible legacy of a baby-killer and millions of victims and relatives cursed his damned name. Maybe he had some heroic period, during his early life in Poland, but the massacres of the civilian population in Transsylvania are well
1214:
I think we can stop this stupid dispute. Although Bem fought for the hungarian revolution, romanians do not consider Bem a criminal. He actually asked
Kossuth to stop the crimes against romanians. Also Avram Iancu agreed not to help the russians when fighting against Bem
1161:
Just get some informations about Avram Iancu's massacres for instance in Torda (I'm sure you're
Rumanian, so for your sake: Turda). Not to be mentioned that his defeat was caused by the Tsarist soldiers. So I think we all appreciate his greatness and fame except you...
1126:
Er, any sources to support this extreme point of view? I think comparing someone to Himmler is a bit unfair. Bem was a good solider and, sorry to say, because Avram Iancu seems to be Romanian national hero, he was defeated by Austrians and Russians.

this excerpt, taken from above, is rather ignorant, and thus serves to nullify the reliability of the user's entire statement about Jozef Bem "pretending" to be Muslim. The Persians have been Muslims since the 640s.
