In Pakistan and elsewhere, Sunnis viciously and violently persecute Ahmadis as heretics and apostates. Yet in the West, Ahmadi spokesmen such as the venomous and supercilious Qasim Rashid and the unctuously pious Haris Zafar make a tidy living allying with their persecutors and aiding and abetting their sinister agenda by telling non-Muslim audiences what they want to hear — that Islam doesn’t actually have any of the doctrines that Sunnis invoke to persecute Ahmadis and others. And indeed, Ahmadi Islam doesn’t — but Rashid and Zafar don’t bother to mention to their marks that they represent a form of Islam that is held by an actual tiny minority — and one that is rejected by the mainstream and persecuted by it as heretical.
The only effect of their endless stream of articles and books purporting to prove that Islamic texts and teachings don’t actually contain material justifying violence and supremacism (here is one recent example from Rashid) will be to render Infidels complacent and less likely to resist that violence and supremacism, or at least less likely to do so in any genuinely effective way. Ahmadi Muslims will continue to suffer because of the laws about apostasy, heresy and blasphemy that Rashid, Zafar and other Ahmadis deny exist instead of confronting and calling for genuine reform — but that doesn’t seem to trouble them.
“Five Ahmadis killed over alleged blasphemy in Gujranwala,” Khyber News, July 27, 2014:
GUJRANWALA: Four members of the Ahmadi community were killed late on Sunday and four others were severely injured when an angry mob attacked and burnt five houses belonging to members of the community over alleged blasphemy.
According to BBC Urdu, those who died in the attack include a 55-year-old woman Bashiran, a minor girl Kianat, 7-year-old girl Hira and an unborn child who died due to suffocation.
The injured were rushed to the district headquarters hospital and their condition is said to be critical.
The BBC Urdu report quoted Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) of the People’s Colony Circle as saying that the trouble started with an allegedly blasphemous post on Facebook by an Ahmadi youth, following which the mob began protesting and eventually attacked and damaged homes belonging to members of the Ahmadi community.According to police and eyewitnesses, there were seven to eight houses of the Ahmadi community in the vicinity. However, following the violence all Ahmadi families in the area managed to flee.

Just a matter of time before those clowns overrun the nuke depot, or they install a martyr as PM who wants to please Allah by using them.
Let’s neutralize the Pakistani nuke arsenal ASAP.

Re Pakistani’s nuke arsenal.
I wonder whether PM Modi of India is thinking long and hard about *that* little problem?
Daniel Triplett says
Yes, Pakistan nukes is a genie that should have never been allowed to leave the bottle. No one knows that better than India.
I can’t remember where, but I’ve heard the Pentagon has a plan on the shelf ready-to-go to seize the Pakistan nuke arsenal if/when this sort of thing happens. It’s probably time to dust that plan off and put it to use.

I blame India for Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. India could have taken out Pakistan’s nuclear program when it was being built… the same way Israel took out Iraq’s Osirak reactor, but the pacifist Hindus didn’t.
Just as they refrained from finishing off Islamist Pakistan in the last India-Pakistan war.
Lesson? When dealing with Jihadists, do not hold back. Finish them off when you can. If you don’t, they’ll come back to haunt you.
If Israel hadn’t heeded international calls for ceasefire and gone on to expel Jordan and Egypt from East Jerusalem, West bank and Gaza in the 1948 war, very few today would be talking about “Israeli occupation.”
In the same vein, Israel must not heed calls for ceasefire in her current campaign against Hamas. She must totally annihilate Hamas, and re-annex Gaza to ensure the strip is never again used as rocket base against Israel. The so-called “international community” be damned!!

How does an unborn baby die of suffocation? …Whenever Zafar appears on FOX, I switch to Ancient Aliens, or Pawn Stars. I just won’t listen to the propaganda…I have heard it before.

Problem is that the whole of Islam is riddled with blasphemy and heresy.
If “Allah” is indeed the the almighty creator, omniscient, omnipotent omnipresent and everlasting there is no way he would effectively abdicate by making an imperfect mortal man who died already about 1400 years ago his last and final messenger to a much longer, if not everlasting world.
Similarly “Allah” having taken the trouble to create a world full of diversity would not have possibly appointed bunches of self-righteous fallible men from Mecca to Ahmadabad to Gazza to decide for him who should live and who should die in his name.
Read Sirat RassoulAllah, in particular the story of the Jews of the Khaybar, and you will find that the attack, in breach by the Muslims of a non-aggression pact, is described with hardly a reference to “Allah” has many references to “Treasure”. It was purely a plundering raid in order to rob the Jews of their valuables, gold, enslave as salves for sale some of the females and keep the young and beautiful females and the Jewish unblemished Male Toddlers a sex slaves.
Not much has changed in Islam since then.
Jaladhi says
This Islam at its finest – kill, kill, kill is the only thing iots followers know( besides few other atrocious thins, rape, invade, loot, misogyny , etc )
People in the West should know it instead of the whitewash lies of CAIR and Islamic apologists!!

SANCTIONS
The UN and western governments talk about human rights but run for cover when sharia based governments yet again mention Islam.
They did this for Allah.
When will Muslims learn that — Everything Islam touches dies.

Pakistan: Sunni Muslim mob murders five Ahmadis for “blasphemy”
………………………….
This is exactly what a ravening mob did to Ahmadis in Indonesia, as well:
“Indonesian Muslim Mob Beats Three Ahmadis to Death in Order to Stop Ahmadiyya Worship”

And notice that this time they killed a little girl and a pregnant woman.
Damn barbarians.
