Kāfir Factory – Infidel Factory
Last year on Friday, 28th May 2010, the world saw a massacre of innocent Ahmadis in Lahore, Pakistan. A day after a journalist of BBC Urdu, Mohammad Hanif, wrote an article titled “Kafir Factor – Infidel Factory”. In this article he has shown a picture of Pakistani societies and religious and political leadership.
This article very much relates to the news posted below, with reference to the current provocative situation in Faisalabad, Pakistan. I think this is a must read article. It is in Urdu; however, a summary for the English readers is presented. He writes:
Whenever you apply for the identity card in Pakistan, you are asked a question, which is unique in Pakistan and has never asked to anyone in other Muslim country; (or in the world at large).
You are not asked that are you healthy? Are you a smuggler or a thief? Are you morally good? Do you pay the taxes? Do you believe the founder of Pakistan as Qaid-e-Azam (the great leader) or you believe him a Kafir-e-Azam (great infidel)? You are not asked whether you are a Hindu, Christian, Sikh or Atheist. But you are asked a question before you sign, and which has been asked for decades and that is to declare that you are not Ahmadi or Qadiani.
In Pakistan Muslims of one sect label to the Muslims of other sects as infidels; Sunni to Shia, Shia to Sunny, the Army labels the Talibans as infidels, and Punjabi to Pushto, and Pushto to Punjabi, and at last all schools of thought in the country believe that Ahmadis are infidels.
The writer asks a question that ‘O Lord! This is a country or a factory to make infidels?’.

A Statement by the Asian Human Rights Commission
The Asian Human Rights Commission has received information from Faisalabad city of Punjab province, the second largest industrial and commercial city of the country that a plan has been chalked out to kill the owners and their family members of 36 commercial and industrial establishments belonging to Ahmadiyya community. The plan includes the people working in those establishments which means more than 150 persons are targeted. Doctors and other professionals are not exempt from this threat. For two weeks now pamphlets and advertisements have been distributed calling the citizens to kill people from the Ahmadis community.
This should be done in the open and crowded market places as a Jihad (holy war). Killing, beating and punishing them would be rewarded by God. The pamphlets were published by the All Pakistan Student Khatm-e-Nabowat Federation and were issued by the information department of Aalmi Majlis-e-Khatm-eNabowat Shafaat-e- Muhammadi with their phone numbers and email address.
The Asian Human Rights Commission cannot reproduced here the copy of the pamphlet for security reasons as it bears the names of commercial and industrial establishments and the names of targeted persons. However, we reproduce below the English translation of the pamphlet which was written in the local language, Urdu.
The original leaflet and its translation in English are available for download here: Leaflet of Ahmadis killing announcement (Urdu, English). For security reasons, the names of the Ahmadiyya community members who were targeted in the leaflet have been removed. The English translation is on page two.
These pamphlets are being distributed on a mass scale, openly in the city from where more than four ministers are in the cabinets of Punjab and federal governments. These ministers have failed to take action on this plan of killing people from a religious minority group because they fear these extremists as they themselves would also be declared supporters of Ahmadis or infidels. In Faisalabad and its neighboring cities a good number of Ahmadis and Christians have been residing for at least a century but for some decades now these minority community people have been killed and abducted by the extreme Muslim organizations to purify the ‘Muslim areas’.

It is difficult to comment on this topic. It is so absolutely clear that ‘incitement to murder’ is a crime, punishable at least by imprisonment. That the Pakistani police takes no action is in itself a clear violation of their mandate. We pray that Allah may protect all members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, in Pakistan and elsewhere. And may Allah defeat the designs of the enemies of the truth.
This is terrible. What else is needed for the government to come in to action and take concrete steps to protect its citizens. Only months ago such incitements led to the martyrdom of the Governor of Punjab.

Very intrestingly Mr I.A.Rehman who is top notch for Human Rights in Pakistan, just two days back, while addresssing Faiz Mela in London bombarded this aspect of Pakistan with accurate and effective salvos. Very openly he stated that issuance of Fatwas, which in fact are the seeds of discrimination on the basis of relgious belief sown in the past, by politicians/establishment has now born the poisonous fruit of hatred amongst various religious factions of the Paksitani Society. He further elaborated that to calm down the voices of their opponants guns were handed over to the religious fundamentalists by the state actors and, this act of state, enabled these religious terrorists to hijack the Pakistan Politics. Of course this happened just because of the gun power which was given to these religious terrorists. In his address he went further and even objected the CJ of Pakistan for not taking any visible action against religious atrocities. He said that through out his current or previous tenure Chief Justice of Pakistan never ever took any decision against any religious fundamentalist. So if such a situation prevails how one can expect improvement in the country. As per I A.Rehman, currently neither Pakistan is a state nor a Nation. What a deplorable state of affairs!
