Ahmadis asked to record statements

Source: ET

The four are among six Ahmadis facing charges under Sections 295-B (defiling or desecration of a copy of the Holy Quran) and 298-C (an Ahmadi posing as a Muslim) of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) and Section 11-W of the Anti-Terrorism Act in a case registered with the Islampura police station.

The complainant had accused the Ahmadis of printing and distributing Jamaat-i-Ahmadiyya’s community newspaper Al-Fazal, which he had claimed carried blasphemous content.

He had stated in his complaint that Khalid Ashfaq was president of the Ahmadi organisation in Kareem Park and had been distributing Al-Fazal amongst people, even though the Home Department had banned the newspaper in October 2011. The police were informed and had taken Khalid Ashfaq and Tahir Ahmed into custody when they were distributing copies of the newspaper. A printing press was also raided where allegedly blasphemous material was printed. The police later arrested Faisal Ahmed and Azhar Zareef. All four had been freed on bail. Daily Al-Fazal editor Abdul Sami and another accused Tahir Mehdi have not been arrested so far and have been declared proclaimed offenders.

  1. Where are the senior members of the “Newspapers and Publishing Societies”? They are known as APNS etc. There should be freedom of religion and freedom to promote healthy talk/literature. They have not even given any forceful statement about such bad actions of the police.
    If the Newspaper Societies will not speak up, the menace will spread and it will disturb every newspaper.

    Anyone of you who saw heresy, apostasy, let is changing with your HANDS (punish or kill), if not able, let the verbal, if not able to let the heart. However, such is weak as weak faith.HR.Muslim.

    Extremist Muslim believe strongly to punish and kill HERESY AND APOSTASY is commanded by prophet Muhammad(saw) and Allah (swt).
    .
    Actually, this violent Hadits is false and against Al Quran, against sunnah and Allah.
    .
    I URGE Muslim Shia and Ahmadiyah work together to abrogate the violent hadits in the book of Hadits Muslim and Bukhari. Otherwise. Extremist Muslim will not stop punishing and killing Muslim Ahmadiyah and Shia. Believe me!

    If we love each other, we can achieve a big works for mankind
    but if we hate each other, will be destroyed completely, because hate stir up trouble and conflict.
    So let we love each other, Allah will bless us all
