KARACHI, Aug 6 2012 (IPS) – As millions around the world enter the third week of the Ramadan fast, the fraternity that typically unites Muslims during the holy month does not extend to Pakistan’s Ahmadi community, which is facing worse persecution than ever before.

What little space there might once have been for this religious minority – who believe that their founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, is the promised messiah and reformer whose advent was foretold by the Holy Prophet Muhammad – is quickly disappearing altogether.
“What space for Ahmadis are you talking about? They don’t have any,” Faisal Neqvi, a Lahore-based lawyer, told IPS.
Declared non-Muslims in 1974, the legal and social exclusion of Ahmadis was further enshrined in a 1984 law that prohibits them from proclaiming themselves Muslims or making pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia.
While non-Muslim missionaries are permitted to proselytise as long as they do not preach against Islam, Ahamdis cannot even hold a public congregation or sing hymns in praise of the prophet.
Last month, hostility towards the community of four million bubbled over in Kharian, a city in the Punjab province, when a police contingent demolished six minarets of an Ahmadi mosque, Baitul Hamd, and effaced the calligraphy on its walls.
Raja Zahid, the police officer who supervised the demolition squad, told the Express Tribune, an English daily, that the act of destruction was carried out following a formal complaint from a religious organisation called Tehreek-e-Tahaffuz-e-Islam .
According to Zahid, there was a mutual understanding that the demolition would take place.

It is said;
Zulma jab had se guzerta hai tau mitt jaata hai
(When brutality reaches its peak it is eliminated)
Although seemingly it is life threatening, impossible condition for Ahmadies in Pakistan, but it is in fact time for this nation to worry now. Why? Because it is them who should think, how will they face the consequences of their worse misconduct. Foe Allah’s absolute wrath is hanging on their heads for the inhuman atrocities that they have posed upon these peaceful innocent citizens of their land.
They should remembre;
Jin kaa koee nahin un Khuda hotaa hai
( The people that apparently look helpless and alone, God is always with them) Insha’Allah.
They are self assumed protector of Islam, and Nabuwwat/. Is there a single Prophecy of Hudhur S.a.w.w that organizations such as; Majlis-e-Khatam-e-Nabuwwat, Majlis-e-Tahaffuz-e-Islam etc will be formed in the later day and then Islam will prosper.
They cannot provide a single Hadith.
yes there are many about Ulema ( Muslim religious scholars) of the later days being the most troublesome creature under the sky.
May Allah grant them the vision to understand the truth and be saved from Allah’s wrath.Amen
