Pakistan: Ahmadi killed after Muslim leader calls them “enemy” on TV

Dec 27, 2014 1:48 pm By Robert Spencer

Syed Arif Shah Owaisi2In Pakistan and elsewhere, Sunnis violently persecute Ahmadis as heretics and apostates. Yet in the West, Ahmadi spokesmen such as the viciously arrogant and spectacularly rude Qasim Rashid and the ostentatiously pious and unctuously reptilian 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 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.

“Man from Ahmadi religious minority killed in Pakistan after Muslim leader calls them ‘enemy,'” Reuters, December 27, 2014:

(Reuters) – Gunmen in eastern Pakistan shot dead a member of the Ahmadi religious minority on Saturday, an Ahmadi spokesman said, five days after a Muslim leader denounced Ahmadis on a popular Pakistani television talk show.

Luqman Ahad Shehzad was shot in the back of the head near Bhiri Shah Rehman village, a small community of Ahmadis in the Gujranwala district, said Saleem ud Din, the spokesman.

He is the eleventh person killed for being Ahmadi in Pakistan this year. Ahmadis consider themselves Muslim but believe that a prophet came after the Prophet Mohammed, who in Islam is revered as the last of God’s messengers.

In 1984, a Pakistani law declared them non-Muslims and made it possible to jail Ahmadis for “posing as a Muslim” or “offending a Muslim’s feelings”.

They are often denounced by Muslim leaders and targeted by violent extremists. Some clerics promise that killing Ahmadis earns the killer a place in heaven and distribute leaflets listing their home addresses.

On Monday, Muslim leader Syed Arif Shah Owaisi appeared on a popular morning television show hosted by Pakistani host Aamir Liaquat Hussain.

“This enemy is a common enemy and is an enemy of all of Pakistan. And this enemy is the sect of Qadiyani,” Owaisi said, using a derogatory term for Ahmadis. “They are the ones blaspheming against the holy prophet. All us Muslims should recognise that enemy.”

Blasphemy is punishable by death in Pakistan. Scores of people have been lynched after being accused of blasphemy….

    The question is, why do the Ahmadiyyas continue to promote and defend Islam while being persecuted by majority Islam?

    The answer is, because they’re Muslims. One of the key features of Islam is the complete denial of individual identity or individual rights. The Ahmadiyyas still consider the Koran to be the perfect book and Muhammad as the perfect man. It’s like Winston in “1984”, who saw five fingers when three were held up, because that’s what Big Brother told him to see.

    Amadiyyas serve as a safety valve for Islamic hijra, or takeover by migration. Should everything go wrong, and a culture begin to actively defend itself, the Amadiyyas will become prominent, leading the protest against the idea that Islam itself is malevolent. The Amadiyyas who die at the hands of fellow-muslims are shahids (martyrs) the same as the suicide bombers. To them, any deaths, distortions, or accusations are worth the ultimate goal: the spread and triumph of Islam.

    Any ban on Muslim immigration must include the “peaceful” sects such as the Amadiyyas and the Ismailis. These “reformed” Muslims advocate the teaching of Islam in public schools, the widespread use of halal meats, the suppression of anti-Islamic facts, and especially oppose any proposed limits on Muslim immigration.

    Amadiyya women may or may not be faintly better off than their female counterparts in the Islamic mainstream:
    http://www.themuslimtimes.org/2012/12/religion/83022/attachment/ahmadiyya-women-canada

    There is no doubt, however, that the idolization of Muhammad and the sanctification of the Koran in Ahmadi teachings will lead straight back to jihad and the push for sharia law.

      Dear RonaldB

      Without being condescending, your comment is one of the few most articulate and pertinent about this subject that I have so far read

      In a NUTSHELL as you so clearly pointed out: ALL Muslims must DECEIVE ALL none Muslims to bring the abyss of Sharia upon ALL of humanity no matter what the cost

      BRAVO!

        Let me concur. Years ago, I followed a thread from UK ahmadis, where they dissected the Genocide of the Banu Qurayza over many thousands of words, and with unctuous agreement from the comment choir. I think I commented on the cold-blooded murder of those possibly as young as 10 or 11, and as old as 70, and collective punishment.

        They were totally, 100% behind murderer mo.

        Karma is not an islamic concept, but it is biting those those bastards in the tush, just the same. Karma 1, islam 0.

I’ve seen many absurd ideas in this site that you Jihadwatchers support but none of you has the means or the mettle to implement any of them, the Muslims whom you call cowards had the mettle to establish the Islamic State in spite of the whole world being against them and how absurd it sounds to you.

          I don’t advocate a plague against Muslims nor do I support the Nuke solution.
          Muslims are no different than anyone else without Islam’s stupidity.

          Your brothers will kill gay men in honor of Allah yet they kiss each other on the cheek in remembrance of what Muhammad did with little Hasan.
          What am I referring to about little Hasan?

          I suspect then, you personally are doing your duty and killing Christians. How many have you killed this week? Any baby’s?
          I don’t dream of killing Mahoundians directly or indirectly, unless I get attacked first. But if you come around here looking to kill Christians or anyone, and accidentally find me first expect to be pushing up daises, or long term hospitalization…Allah willing, and he will be in that case.

          In psychiatry we call this projection – imputing your baser desires and motives upon other people to absolve yourself of any moral responsibility. The West does not have any desire to slaughter your co-religionists – why should we? Your people are doing a fine job of suicidal slaughter as it is. Has there ever been a serious proposal that the West would commit mass slaughter of muslims? It’s not as if we don’t have the technology to do so – but we don’t have a culture that condones mass slaughter. (And please spare me the inflated death toll from Iraq – the overwhelming majority of deaths were due to muslim-on-muslim violence; and nothing the West did comes close to the death toll decades of Ba’athist slaughter created…lets not forget the Iran-Iraq War please). We’ve had 1400 years of self-serving rationalizations from the dar al-Islam – the Ahmadiyas are only the latest. It’s a pity – I’m quite fond of some Ahmadis personally, but I’m not open to phony muslim apologetics.
          Having said that, Westerners have a right to protect their culture (and their persons) from muslim attacks.

          Yes Phil that is right, except for one thing…Allah in all his wisdom already absolved them of moral responsibility in Quran 8:17, where He says, ‘You didn’t kill them Allah killed them.
          No one is guilty…Allah thinks of everything…

    • IQ al Rassooli says

      Dec 27, 2014 at 3:52 pm

      Excellent question albert

      The answer is because the UN is 28% ISLAMIC who BOUGHT votes from another 50% allowing the UN to be part and parcel of Islamic Jihad against the West & Israel

      WHY would Ban Ki Moon be more interested in the alleged plight of the so called palestinians without ONCE addressing the EXTERMINATION of Christians in Muslim lands? Same question with the same answer: ALL have been purchased with billions of petro dollars

      Another even more disturbing question is: Why is pope Francis allying himself with “PISSFUL Islam”?

        IQ al Rassooli , I suspect that Pope Francis believes in the concept that Muslims will act nicer if we raise the bar and praise them as if they are already in hopes that this might make them behave better.
        Pope Francis is using child psychology 101

        Will it work?
        Who knows?

        • duh_swami says

          Dec 28, 2014 at 6:37 am

          Francis seems to be using B.F. Skinners behavior modification idea of rewarding good behavior and ignoring the bad. That has been tried for years in mental institutions, with marginal results.
          That doesn’t work with Mahoundians because they don’t do bad behavior.

    • Jay Boo says

      Dec 27, 2014 at 6:31 pm

      albert,
      That is an interesting point about the UN
      “we never hear them complain about Muslim nations murdering their own citizens.”

      I believe that the Ahmadis don’t consider Muhammad the final prophet.
      The UN apparently considers this enough of an excuse for Sunnis to kill them.
      Therefore the UN should have absolutely no problem with Christians killing all Muslims on the planet for claiming Muhammad as their last prophet after Jesus Christ assuming that the UN is concerned about not being hypocritical.

    The same of Sufi Islam. It’s what Obama and his posse of morons want to try to introduce to ‘cut down’ extremism ignoring the fact that less than 1% of muslims practice it and those that do are hunted down and labeled as blasphemers by the 99%. It’s like suggesting that all Christians become Mennonites, it’s not gonna happen.
