The Persecution of Ahmadis is the religious persecution of Ahmadi Muslims as a consequence of professing their faith. They have been subject to various forms of persecution and discrimination since the movement's inception in 1889. The Ahmadiyya stream of Islam emerged from the Sunni tradition of Islam and its adherents believe in all the five pillars and articles of faith required of Muslims.[1] Ahmadis are considered non-Muslims by the mainstream Muslims since Ahmadis consider Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, founder of Ahmadiyya, as a prophet. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed that he was the Mujaddid (divine reformer) of the 14th Islamic century, the promised Messiah and Mahdi awaited by Muslims,[2][3][4] these claims are rejected by mainstream Muslims.
The Ahmadis are active translators of the Qur'an and proselytizers for the faith; converts to Islam in many parts of the world first discover Islam through the Ahmadis. However, in a number of Islamic countries, especially sunni dominated nations, Ahmadis have been considered heretics and non-Muslim, and subjected to persecution and systematic oppression.[5] Ahmadis are declared as Non-Muslims and further derived from religious rights in the Second Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan and Ordinance XX. Hundreds of Ahmadis were killed in 1953 Lahore riots, 1974 Anti-Ahmadiyya riots and May 2010 attacks on Ahmadi mosques in Lahore. 1974 riots were the largest killings of Ahmadis.-Wikipedia, persecution of Ahmedis
Ahmediyyas, Muslims for peace, are in Pakistani jails under the Blasphemy Law as is Asia Bibi.They are in prison for expressing their religious faith.
According to Asia News there was an animated discussion in June 2009 when some women who work with Asia Bibi wanted to convince her to renounce Christianity and convert to Islam.During the discussion Asia Bibi said Jesus had died on the Cross for the sins of all humanity and she asked the women what Mohammad had done for them.
It is the Catholic Faith according to Vatican Council II that all need faith and baptism for salvation. Non Catholics do not have it.Neither did Mohammad have Catholic faith and nor was he baptised with water.
Similar to Christians who cannot express their faith are the Ahmediyyas, in Italy who project Islam as a religion of peace. They do not have peace or freedom under laws created in the name of the religion founded by Mohammad.
The leader of the Ahmediyya community is shown in the picture before Islamic calligraphy. He could be arrested for this action.Since according to Islamic laws the Ahmediyyas are not allowed to exhibit that verse (First Kalma).
