Sunni Muslims consider Ahmadi Muslims heretics. In Ramadan, the month in which Muslims redouble their efforts to please Allah, the attackers see attacks such as this one as acts of piety and demonstrations of their devotion to Islam. Ironically, in the United States, prominent Ahmadi Muslim spokesmen such as Qasim Rashid and Haris Zafar constantly side with their Sunni persecutors, and join them in defaming and vilifying those who oppose the same jihad terror that victimizes their people in Pakistan and Indonesia. Why? Apparently loyalty to Islam, including loyalty even those who persecute them in the name of Islam, is more important than everything else.
“Historic Ahmadi mosque demolished by mob in Pakistan,” The New Arab, May 24, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A mob in Pakistan tore down a historic mosque belonging to the country’s Ahmadi community on Thursday, in the latest act of violence against the minority Muslim sect.
The attack took place in the eastern Pakistani city of Sialkot, with videos showing Sunni extremists tearing down the place of worship. No worshippers are believed to have been in the mosque at the time of the attack.
The mosque had been an important place of worship for Pakistan’s persecuted Ahmadi sect for the past 135 years.
It was said to be visited by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad who founded the faith and is considered to be a prophet by its followers.
Ahmadis were declared “non-Muslims” by Pakistan in 1974, depriving them of many basic rights.
Ahmadis say that dozens of other mosques in Pakistan have been destroyed or closed down by authorities….
Krishna says
Oh no so sad Ahmadis are only hope for Islamic reformation now it’s getting destroyed I wish Ahmadis all luck to defend their faith
Rob Crawford says
They’re still Muslims; they still worship Mohammed.
mortimer says
Muslims killing Muslims ‘for the sake of Allah’. Such a tolerant ideology! (sarc/off)
SLOGAN: ALL JIHAD IS a form of AGGRESSION.
mortimer says
Rob is correct that Mohammed takes a divine form in classic Islam and Ahmadism.
Ahmadism believes over 90% of classic Islam and adds a few ‘new’ doctrines that seem to be influenced by Hinduism.
Ahmadis believe in jihad, but only VERBAL JIHAD. ALL Ahmadis use taqiyya by claiming they are the mainstream.
blitz2b says
Spot on! motimer.
The whole of the Ahmediyya faith is based on Taquiyya and victim hood… They have effectively used their unfortunate situation to establish themselves everywhere in the west, while they continue with their Islamic dawah to ensnare Christians by their swoon theory negating Christ’s death and resurrection, then claiming that Mirza Ghulam Ahmed their Messiah was none other than Jesus himself (reincarnated?).
I once questioned an Ahmedi Muslim about a scriptural basis for their slogan “… Love for all, hatred for none…” and all I got was excuses. He could not provide a single verse from the Koran, Hadiths or Sira to support their peaceful mantra.
Don’t get me wrong, I admire their genuine attempt to live in peace and harmony with everyone, however it is very disingenuous to have a slogan that is the polar opposite to what the Koran stipulates as treatment of unbelievers.
[9.123]”… O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil)….”
So my question was, does the Mirza have authority to abrogate Allah’s verses like the one above and many others like it?
Crickets chirping!

Muslims are Muslims in satin or sack cloth.
One can not make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

J D S … Or sugar coat sh!t…
Gio Gripshi says
Not true!
Robert is right, Ahmad is are only more deceptive than other Muslims!
Qasim Rashid blocked me on Twitter only because unable to defend his lies on Islam!
gravenimage says
Actually, Ahmadis regularly carry water for Islam and act to whitewash Muslim savagery. I dont’ think they will prove to be reformers.
Linda says
They fight with non-Muslims. They fight with other Muslims. They fight amongst themselves. They are only happy when they’re miserable.
Kasey says
Anything Islamic will poison a person’s mind!
Indiana Tom says
Just hire Muslims for urban renewal projects.
Luqman from England says
Astaghfirullah!
What is it with these mullahs who seem to get even more obnoxious during the holy month of Ramadhan and commit such abusive acts?
I have noticed that every year during Ramadhan these fanatics provoke their equally IGNORANT AND FOOLISH followers into taking the law (if there is any still functioning in this so-called ‘Islamic Republic of Pakistan’), into their own hands and persecute minorities, especially our peaceful Ahmadiyya community.
They become judge and jury and take Allah’s place (more so during Ramadhan than the rest of the year), and kill, maim and destroy people and property belonging to our community.
Maybe, they believe in their warped minds and beliefs that doing so during this blessed month will earn them Allah’s blessings, when in fact, just the opposite is the case, unfortunately.
Interior and exterior ministers including shahbaz shareef, the local MP, dpo and dco as well as the local police commissioner should resign with immediate affect.
These talibans and fanatic clerks are still at large and such barbaric attacks are only making our faith even more stronger.
Pakistan is a failed state of utterly corrupt politicians where such dirty creature talibans still control the majority of government.
All Muslims of Pakistan which provoke this ideology in Pakistan and beyond should be ashamed of declining Quran, Muhammad PBUH, Hadith and Sunnah Teachings.
May you all peaceful minorities and ahmadi brothers and sisters be safe from such evils. May you all be very safe.
Vulturetx says
don’t be sorry for Ahmadis.
1. they claim their prophet was the reincarnation of Jesus. but that Isa is lesser to greatest prophet MoMo.
2. they lie to the West about what the Quran actually says and will do it on national shows alongside CAIR.
3.Ahmaddis used to claim that Aliya (Mo’s 4th wife aka child bride ) was 16 not 6 when she married because… muslims leave off the tens digit when recounting someones age. this BS was spread about the time of 9-11. Imagine lying about ARABIC numerals.

islam is to humanity as cancer is to a body
jack cade says
A win for civilization. One less mosque in the world is a good thing.
gravenimage says
Muslims will do the same to churches, synagogues, and temples.
duh swami says
Islam is an ‘assault weapon’…while you are busy banning stuff, ban Islam…
Tom S. says
Step one: Get Supreme Court Justices that will strip Islam of its status as a religion, and recognize it for what it is: A violent ideology..
