The more I read from young Pakistanis on social media, the more I wonder how in the world they did this to us. Such inability to think critically is not easy to acquire, and yet countless have acquired it.
Recently, Dr. Javed Iqbal, son of Allama Iqbal, has said that if you are going to make a blasphemy law, make it for everybody. Why not punish the ones who disrespect the Ahmadi religion too? To an Ahmadi, their religion is just as true, as to you is yours. Ahmadis are born in this religion. They too are told that their religion is the absolute truth.
Bashing and cursing Ahmadis and their prophet has become a requirement to be a good Muslim in Pakistan. Many Pakistani Muslims don’t feel like true Muslims until they abuse and curse the Ahmadi prophet, and the abuses are not mild or minor in any shape or form.
The problem is, you only fool yourself by doing that, not the world. It works very well inside Pakistan when you curse, abuse, and bash the Ahmadi prophet, and hang the ones who criticize yours. Sadly, the rest of the world does not accept it. To the rest of the world, you have to apply the same standards to others what you choose for yourself. Pakistanis are only fooling themselves. And fooling yourself is worse than fooling others.
Also, the idiotic comparison made between the blasphemy laws and the law that makes denial of the holocaust illegal is just that; an idiotic comparison. It’s like comparing apples with oranges. Like comparing a cruel reality of mass murder of innocent humans to the beautiful fantasy of religion.
Dear brothers and sisters, dear pakistani Nation, well said by Dr. Jawaid Iqbal, no matter its too late said, the real truth is that one which comes with pain and shame. Its true what Dr. Jawaid Iqbal said, he also is answerable to Allmighty Allah, to Whom we have to return one day with our good and bad things what we did in our life on the earth. Inshallah. Afterall, we have to face the real court if Justice by the Lord of all Lords. May Allah, The Allmighty, The powerfull of all to give us more like Dr. Jawaid Iqbal to speakout the Truth. The title of this must be like this as ( From Horses Mouth ), what you say to mein. Simple math.
Many youth think critically even though they grew up seeing hatred and discrimination against Ahmadis
A good write up by Dr. Shazia generally. Two points which must be corrected for the record. Firstly it is not true that all Ahmadies are born Ahmadies. There are many who are converted to Ahmadiyyat by applying their faculty of reasoning and they are from almost every religion and even from atheists which is a uniqueness enjoyed only by Ahmadiyya Islam in the whole world of religion. Secondly Ahmadiyya Islam teaches that any religion which is a mere fantasy is in fact no religion but a mar in the name of religion. Religion consists of a strong and living relation with God and then following His and His prophets’ teachings.
