BISHKEK — Kyrgyz religious authorities have refused to re-register the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, RFE/RL’s Kyrgyz Service reports.
Sagynbek Toktorbaev, a representative of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community in Kyrgyzstan, told RFE/RL on December 29 that the government’s State Commission on Religious Affairs rejected their re-registration.
He said the commission’s decision violates the rights of the some 1,000 members of the Kyrgyz branch of the Ahmadiyya community, an Islamic revivalist movement founded in India in the late 1800s by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Some of the Ahmadiyya community’s beliefs are considered controversial with mainstream Muslims.
Yusub Baltabaev, an official with the State Commission on Religious Affairs, told RFE/RL that the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kyrgyzstan (SAMK) proposed that the activities of Ahmadiyya in Kyrgyzstan be suspended because of its alleged “threat to religious security” in the country.

One can only pray for these shortsighted clerics. Almighty will take care by Himslef.
Ahmadis are only threat to SMAK’s halva.
And they call themselves MUSLIMS? Can’t they see that this narrow-minded rejection is against the teachings of Islam itself as well as the model behavior of the Holy Prophet saw?!
Excellent effort. Very informative and beautiful presentation.
Wish you all the success.
