Pakistan: Ahmadis restricted from offering Eid prayers

Yet in the United States, Ahmadis like Harris Zafar run interference for the Islamic supremacists who persecute them elsewhere, by attacking and defaming the very people who are standing up to their jihadist persecutors. As Jihad Watch reader David, who sent this in, noted, maybe if tools like Zafar work even harder for the Islamic supremacists in the West, the Islamic supremacists in Pakistan will ease up on persecuting Ahmadis. But probably not.

"Ahmadis restricted from offering Eid prayers," by Faiza Mirza for Dawn, August 23 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

RAWALPINDI: According to Saleemuddin, spokesperson of Ahmadiyya community, Ahmadis were restricted from offering Eid prayers at Ewan-e-Tauheed located at E-Block, Satellite Town, Rawalpindi reported DawnNews.

Saleemuddin said, “Ewan-e-Tauheed is where most of us offered Eid and Friday prayers, however, the situation changed nine months ago when a hate campaign against our community enticed residents of the area to restrict our activities. Prior to the Eid prayers, we sought approval from the local law enforcement agencies to let us pray on Eid or suggest an alternative site where we could congregate.”

According to Saleemuddin, police approved of the idea, however, at the last minute informed Ahmadis that it is best if they offer Eid prayers at Bait-ul-Hamd, Murree Road, which only has a capacity to accommodate 100 worshippers.

He went on to say that early in the morning, police officials surrounded Ewan-e-Tauheed to deter Ahmadis from gathering and praying.

“An estimated number of 2,000 Ahmadis were expected to congregate and offer Eid prayers, however, were unable to do so because of the sudden change of events triggered by influence of local powerful businessmen,” added Saleemuddin...

Sharjeel Mir, President of Anjuman-e-Tajiran Rawalpindi and a local businessman said, “We object to Ewan-e-Tauheed and all that it stands for because it was acquired through illegal means. Fifteen years ago an Ahmadi bought a house and later on donated it to the Ahamdiiya community. Since then it has been used as a praying site despite of the fact that NOC was not obtained from the district government and local residents as is required according to the law of land.”...

According to the constitution, Ahmadis are not allowed to call their praying sites mosques and term their call of prayers as namaz. They do not follow the rules and policies which is why we have been taking action against them. We believe in coexistence. In fact countless Christians live in Rawalpindi and we live in harmony, however, we will not have Ahmadis call themselves Muslims and go against the law. They should live like other minorities,” added Mir.

Here is an article on the beliefs of the Ahmadiyas,they,for example believe Jesus was crucified,survived,and some think he is buried in India,read:

"The Ahmadiyas,aTruly Peaceful and Progressive Group in the Muslim World,that is Rejected as being Muslim by the Sunnis and Shias"

"Watch the Great Film “The Stoning of Soraya M”(2008), Based on a True Story"

Muslims all share the same mental illness. Even if they are at each other's throats, they are programmed to always lie to the infidels and unite with each other against us.

Us infidels should have our own TV channel to reach the masses and expose Islam 24/7. If only we had a very wealthy benefactor who'd support our cause.

In this global war rich muslims are funding all the building of mosques in the West, the buying up of airports and partial ownership of TV stations like Fox News. And they have influenced, censored or manipulated reports that expose muslims' true agenda or when they are responsible for rioting and burning thousands of cars in France for example.

We're badly outgunned because muslims are well financed and very coordinated-from the riotous street thugs up to heads of state and including their wealthy who are funding our destruction and ramming Islam down our throats.

This is happening all around us but the common infidels (esp our elites) are so blind to what's taking place that we're badly losing in this war. Not to mention muslims are breeding like rats so things will get exponentially worse as their population grows.

As infidels we all must do more and become more proactive-Pamela and Robert cannot do this alone. Or expect to meet the same fate that Iran, India, Sudan and other nations have suffered. Sometimes it's taken them centuries literally to get their countries back from the muslims.

Islam can always find a kafir to oppress or kill!

where is cair here to help the Ahmadis?

Should "moderate" Muslims in America call their gathering places something other than a mosque?

What a delicious irony. The Ahmadis were once the major producers of Western converts to Islam; so much so that they attracted the attention of no-one less than the historian Arnold Toynbee. Yet now they're not even allowed to put Qur'anic inscriptions on their gravestones or offer Id prayers.

@Miriam Rove: Do the Bahai in Iran get treated in a similar way by the Shi'ah?

How dysfunctional! Apparently loyalty to the umma is all.

fitna,

I agree with everything you say.

As far as Kepha's comment, I don't believe Bahai's consider themselves Muslim anymore, although their prophet was a Muslim. The Muslims consider Ba'hai's to be apostates, naturally, so they are persecuted in Iran. Add to that , the Ba'hais were allied with the Shah against the mullahs, which they will never forgive.

Should "moderate" Muslims in America call their gathering places something other than a mosque?

Yes! They should call it A Church of God the Creator!!!!!
God Bless America!!!!!!!!!!!!
