Express Tribune: LAHORE: Over 100 tombstones were desecrated by unidentified men at an Ahmadi graveyard in the Model Town area of Lahore early Monday morning.
Eyewitnesses said 12 to 15 masked men, carrying weapons and excavation tools, had entered the graveyard in Model Town Q Block between 1:30am and 1:45am.
At least five of the men were reported to be carrying weapons, including 9mm pistols and a bigger gun.
The perpetrators removed and broke the tombstones of graves. They also told the caretakers that they were not supposed to write the Kalima or Bismillah on the tombstones because, “Ahmadis are infidels.”
“I was about to sleep for a while when I heard the sound of someone jumping inside the compound. When I was about to check who could be there, a number of men pounced on me, started beating me and took my gun,” said Muhammad Younis, a guard at the graveyard.
Younis told The Express Tribune that the attackers had a camera and took his picture after he was tied up. He said some of the attackers had climbed in from the rear wall of the graveyard and a few of them from the front.

What ever efforts elsewhere done to raise the real noble teachings of Islam, the shameful acts back home by these extremists damage all such efforts. God may enable them to understand and act upon the real teachings of Islam. Amin

Most barbaric and inhuman acts of shamelessness.Allama Iqbal had said of these-like mischief maker Mullah very fond of creating agitation and social disorder in the name of and for the sake of God, ‘fi sabeelillah fasad’. How sad and devilish are the acts of these nuisance Mullah and their ‘madrassa’ students that they think/feel even the dead bodies of the Ahmadis lying in the graves are a threat to their faith and ‘mussalmani’. The greedy interests of these shameless Mulla-infested agitational persons indulging in such naked lawlessness and cruel acts of heartlessness in the Ahmadiyya graveyard of the Muslim Town, Lahore. These brutes have no human heart with any fear of God and have none of an iota of human kindness in their mind and soul and thus indulge in such barbaric acts, the kind of which are not even imagined by people outside Hind-Pakistan boundary.May God help correct the ways of these most shameless religious agitators or take them away from the soil of our motherland so that peace and civilized life becomes possible here once again by the grace of God Almighty,Ameen.
Very well said S.A.Sheikh.
This is not only the lowest example of human moral decline but it also shows the that their morals are so rotten that they have become zombies.
Hence their conduct has become so ugly that one feels pity on them. They are insane.ZOMBIES.
No wonder even dead are not safe from them.
They steal their own dead’s coffin shroud, hair and even abuse dead women.
They are writing a history as a most low and insane nation.
Who can say that, this incident is not without an evil aim. It definitely is not a service to Islam.They might be after the land of the graveyard. You never know. Only Allah is our refuge.
Pakistani official exceeding the limit. Allah Almighty is looking all this cruilty.
The Pakistan Official should read and think about this Hadith
“Each one of you is a ruler and will be
answerable in respect of his subjects.”(Bukhari)
May Allah open eyes of these blind official.
In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious Ever Merciful
Shameless and inhuman act. These beasts of Jangle has no fear of Allah. Holy Quran says, “laqad khalaqnal-insana fee ahsan-e-taqveem thumma radadnaaho asfala-saafeleen” mean we have fashioned human being in the highest format or the Master peace of creation on the other extreme dragged the creature to the lowest bottom. The Holy prophet p.b.u.h. prophesied about ulma-e-soo in the time of trial of Muslims when they turn to their ring leaders, will find them monkeys and pigs, how true this prophesy is. Not only Ahmadies are not safe in the country but also public at large has no peace at all. Target killing has become the fashion of the day. Some measures must be taken to safe guard the life property and honor of the people before it is to late.
