LAHORE: Two days after being told by Misri Shah police to ‘cover up’ architectural elements that made an Ahmedi worship place resemble a mosque, the administration has installed a hoarding behind the chhatri (flattened dome) at the entrance.
Two people had filed an application with the police, requesting that they register an FIR against the Ahmedis under the blasphemy laws – 298-C and 295-B of the Pakistan Penal Code – “for depicting themselves as Muslims”

I feel disgusted even at the word ‘worship place’. What a way to try to avoid the word MOSQUE.
In any case, what else can we do but build Mosques where building Mosques is permitted, meaning in most countries outside of Pakistan.
And we pray that the day will come when we can call our Mosques in Pakistan as Mosques again.
Now the punjab government is satisfied as Theocracy (Mullahism) is effected and one building loose its shape of Mosque. One minority community is compelled and discriminated. Religion is again politicized and political millage is taken cheaply but all this not coming in the notice of OIC which is complaining discrimination and Islam-o-phobia of Europe and not stopping this discrimination in a so called Islamic Republic of Pakistan. ( doing totally against the ideology of founder of Pakistan).
