cultural difference, not genetic.I feel like Paki and UP/Bihari/Urdu speaking Muslims are far more violent than Kanglus...who are still far more violent than Indian non-Muslims.
Maybe genetic differences.
Bengali muslims have significant non-bengali population as origin base. People forget, ganga & brahmaputra massively changed course during 1500s or so and this opened up old southern Kamrup for bengali colonization - which is basically what Sylhet and Chattogram is.
And most of it was powered by land grants to any and all muslims - be it some persian noble who was on wrong side of a war and kicked out or some afghan dude or some hyderabadi.
So bong muslims have always been aloof regarding a sense of bong identity beyond just base culture - they dont have sense of patriotism, nationalism, etc anywhere remotely close to a normal population does.
This is the main reason why Bengali hindus are literally the #1 people in ENTIRE india for engaging in violence against the British by a country mile ( bengali hindus make up 50% of the ledger records of kalapani prison, where only high level political prisoners or insurgents were locked up in) while bengali muslims are literal zeros in standing up to the british, despite making up 60% of undivided bengal population.
