(We are publishing Malik Rashid’s article in
the backdrop of the recent massacre of Ahmaddiyyas in Pakistan which first
appeared on Ibrahim Sajid Malik’s website, along with some of the comments it
evoked. – Editor)
By Malik Rashid
Friday prayer congregations at two Ahmadiyya
mosques were attacked by grenades, gun-fire and suicide-bombers in Lahore. More
than 90 individuals lost their lives and over 100 suffered wounds. Taliban of
Punjab claimed responsibility.
Journalists reporting the hour long brutality
might have been surprised to know that Ahmadiyya worship places cannot be
referred as ‘mosques’, according to a constitutional amendment introduced by
General Zia-ul-Haq.
Ahmadiyya is a sect that came into being in early
20th century among Punjabi Muslims. Besides making fantastic claims like all
other religions, Ahmadis relinquished Jihad(Holy war) by sword, and resolved to
rely on the power of argument.
Religious extremism, especially killing and
persecution of Ahmadi-Muslims in Pakistan is as old as the country itself. An
army doctor, Major Mahmood was murdered by a mob of mullas in Quetta in 1948. A
martial-law was imposed in Lahore to curb anti-Ahmadi riot in 1953. Muslim
League made an alliance with ‘Ahrar’, the Ahmadi-haters, in the elections of
1951 and the religious zealots celebrated ‘Yom-e-Tashakkur’ (thanksgiving)
because no Ahmadi made it into the parliament. Mian Daulatana, the Muslim-League
Chief Minister, was sacked by the Governor General after the 1953
riot.
A prominent TV journalist was recently caught on
tape talking to Punjabi Taliban against the Ahmadis. Attempt to show strength
against Facebook by religious sections did not gain much support among Muslims
in Pakistan and abroad. This brutality against unarmed, innocent worshipers
could have been another show-off by Islamic extremists who fear
extinction.
As families in Lahore grieve the demise of their
loved ones, Pakistanis all over the world feel perplexed over the resolve of
those who should be fighting the scourge of Taliban. Quoting instances of
Taliban presence in Punjab, a Dawn editorial expressed,” What more will it take
to convince the provincial government that the Punjabi Taliban are a reality
that cannot be wished away?”
The ruling Muslim League in Punjab enjoys
friendly relations with Jihadi outfits for political gains like the Muslim
League of 1953. Talking to media, Senior Advisor to Punjab Chief Minister
Zulifiqar Khosa said that an operation was started in the tribal areas because
the writ of the government was challenged, but Punjab is not facing such
problems.
Justice Munir and Justice Kayani wrote in their
report on anti-Ahamadiyya riot of 1953, “If there is one thing that has been
conclusively demonstrated in this inquiry, it is that provided you can persuade
the masses to believe that something they are asked to do is religiously right
or enjoined by religion, you can set them to any course of action, regardless of
all considerations of discipline, loyalty, decency, morality or civic
sense.”
A proper analysis of religious extremism and its
influence on military, politics and government could help us understand the
problem in its depth and width. After condemning Arabs for the 9/11 terrorist
incidents and invading Afghanistan in 2001, US media has been identifying
Pakistan as the root-problem.
USA and their allies are waging a war against the
terrorists to address their own security problem but Pakistanis have been
mutilated and oppressed by these faithful warriors for ever. Educated Pakistanis
must rise up against religious fanaticism if they do not want to see their
country descend into a Somalia.

Please correct it that both the mosques belong to
only one sect and that is ahmadiyyah jamaat. Some people specially mullahs are
trying to spread lies like the other sect “Lahori jamaat” has severe enmity so
they can be involved but they can’t quite a single evidence of violence by any
of these sects. Mullahs are just trying to divert attention from them because
they know they are spreading hatred against Ahmadis openly and you can see many
many posters, stickers etc. carrying utter hate against Ahmadis on public places
and even in public transport. Ahmadis are prime victims of target killings
specially under this government rather under all governments except Musharraf’s.
Many innocent men and even women have been killed in their homes or way to their
homes mercilessly but not a single murderer has been caught. One thing is common
in almost all these killings that these killings happened after a few days of
hatred session held by “Aalmi Majlis Tahaffuz Khatm-e-Nubuwwat” near the home of
to be martyred innocent targets. These wicked Mullah’s hold these sessions in
the name of saving honor of prophet hood of Muhammad(PBUH). They openly motivate
to kill Ahmadis in these sessions. You can view their website which is doing the
same at http://www.khatm-e-nubuwwat.com Shahbaz sharif the minister of Punjab
supports them in every possible way in these killings e.g. by not letting any of
the killers arrested and in recent massacre by not providing any securities to
Ahmadi mosques in spite of being notified by federal government of the threats
coming to Ahmadis regarding these mosques. He should be arrested and punished
for this criminal and intentional negligence. By the way I was inside the mosque
in garhi shahu at the time of attack and witness of this act of utmost
cruelty.

The Ahmadis of Pakistan have been under attack
for a very long time, though what happened to them and their mosques on May 28
in Lahore is quite clearly one of their worst days ever. The second amendment to
the Constitution of Pakistan in 1974 excluded Ahmadis from the religion followed
by the majority of Pakistanis. The amendment made this exclusion legally in that
the phrase “for the purposes of the constitution or law” was used when rendering
them non-Muslims. Under law, anyone who is a minority is entitled to equal
protection and has the right to due process, but as our history and in fact
present show all too clearly, Ahmadis have not been given this
entitlement.
Friday’s events are more or less an inevitable
outcome of the intolerance and bigotry found in Pakistan today – we say ‘today’
because while it began many years ago and was facilitated actively by the state
during General Zia’s days, it persists and has perhaps grown stronger than ever.
Those who died – the number is at least 80 and could well rise – are going to
soon be forgotten and added to the hundreds of minorities who have been killed
over the years by extremists and militants. In fact, one cannot help but notice
the tragic irony in all of this. Just a week ago, many Pakistanis were outraged
– at an offensive page on a social networking website and complained that the
west should show some sensitivity to their religious feelings. And what have
they done to their own minorities?
Pakistan has a group of people so crazed and
fanatical in their faith that they see it as an obligation to take up arms and
attack mosques and kill those present simply because of their beliefs. We can
only wonder how many among us will unequivocally speak up and condemn the
actions of these militants and how many will label this action as
‘anti-Islam’?

You may have to seek help of The Cyber Crime
Circle of the Federal Investigation (FIA). Since the Prevention of Electronic
Crime Ordinance (PECO) does not have any provision covering the serious offence
of blasphemy, therefore, this case can be referred to the Karachi Police after
the accused is arrested by the FIA under Section 5 of the FIA Act. The accused
(Ibrahim Sajid Malick) can be investigated by the Cyber Crime Circle of the FIA
in Karachi under Section 20 of PECO.

There’s a reason why states need to be secular
and Pakistan is a prime example of that.
The west separated Church & State solely
because of acts like these. Unfortunately we’re condemned to repeat their
mistakes. It’s time that Islam is taken out of the state and the states be made
secular. That’s the only hope for this nation, otherwise we’re already in the
failed states list which includes nations such as Somalia and Ethiopia. It’s

Major Rana Says:

It is useless to talk with these idiots who are
committing crime in a big way without acknowledging
it.
QADIANI, AHMADI, LAHORI ARE NON-MUSLIMS. IT IS A
CRIME TO CALL THEM MUSLIM. THEY DONOT GO TO MASJIDS. IT IS A
SIN.
(Qadiani Ahmadi) leaders and missionaries, quite
astutely, claim that since they also utter the same words (Kalimah), they should
be considered Muslims!
In the holy Quran, we are
told:
O you who believe! When you go abroad in the
cause of Allah, investigate carefully, and say not to anyone who offers you a
salutation: “Thou art none of a believer!” Coveting the perishable goods of this
life: with Allah are profits and spoils abundant. Even thus were you yourselves
before, till Allah conferred on you His favours: Therefore carefully
investigate. For Allah is well aware of all that you
do.
(The Holy Quran, An-Nisa,
4:94)
Indeed, we are required to accept anyone’s claim
to be a Muslim, unless his own actions and statements prove that he is not a
Muslim. Obviously, declaring someone or the followers of an entire doctrine
Kafir should be taken very seriously. In fact, admonishing those who have
astrayed far from the teachings of Islam is a serious task entrusted to our
learned scholars.
Intuitively, then, it is very significant that
all Muslim denominations, organizations, scholars and nations have unanimously
declared the Qadiani Ahmadi) movement outside the fold of Islam. Obviously, all
these learned Muslims have done an extensive research and would not have
declared Qadianism Ahmadiyyat) Kofr, if there was any doubt about its
nature.
Yet, is the mere utterance of the Kalimah or the
practice of the rituals of Islam enough to keep someone a Muslim, regardless of
the deeds and beliefs of that person? Absolutely not. Our beloved Prophet(SAW),
the most knowledgeable person regarding Islam, dealt with Kharijites (Khawarij)
as unbelievers, once they purposely and persistently refuted some of the Sharia
(laws) of Islam. Their perpetual observance of religious services and their
persistent pronouncement of the Kalimah did not benefit them at
all.
In another case, when an individual by the name
of Musaylma (now known as Musaylma the Liar by Muslims) declared himself to be a
non-law bearing co-prophet of Muhammad(SAW), the Prophet(SAW) ordered him to
stop spreading lies. However, after the death of the Prophet(SAW), Musaylma
managed to lead astray thousands of people of Banu Haneef tribe, who lived at a
great distance from learned companions. All members of the Banu Haneef had
declared Shahadah and were practicing the rituals of Islam, otherwise they were
ignorant about the doctrines of Islam. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique(RA), supported
by all learned companions of the Prophet(SAW), treated those followers of
Musaylma who refused to accept the truth as Kafirs. (Can you also see a
similarity between Musaylam and Mirza Ghulam Qadiani and his
followers?)
In another case, Ali Ibn Abi Talib(RA) pronounced
those “Muslims”, who insisted on calling him “Allah impersonified”, kafir and
dealt with them accordingly. Obviously, anyone who breaks his covenant with
Allah(SWT), by knowingly refuting the signs of Allah(SWT), ceases to remain a
Muslim, regardless of whether he proclaims the Kalimah or appears to perform the
rituals of Islam.
Clearly then, the mere fact that Qadianis
Ahmadis) appear to utter our Kalimah or perform some of our rituals is not
enough to include them in Muslim ummah. We already know that they have to accept
Mirza Ghulam Qadiani as a prophet of God (Read: How do Qadianis (Ahmadiyya)
differ from Muslims) and they have declared themselves as followers of a
religion different from Islam (Read: What do Qadianis (Ahmadiyya) think of
Muslims).
Finally, we like to point out that the Kalimah
uttered by Qadianis Ahmadis) is meant to have a different meaning than those
recited by Muslims. In support of this claim, we present the following writings
of Mirza Ghulam Qadiani and his associates:
“I am the Maseeh of the time and I am Moses on
whom God conferred His speech. I am Muhammad and Ahmad, the selected
one.”
(Taryaq-ul-Qulub, P. 3/6; Roohany Khazaen, Vol.
15, P. 134)
“Muhammad is the messenger of Allah and those
accompanying Him (His companions are very strict against the unbelievers). In
this divine revelation, I am named Muhammad and the prophet of
Allah.”
(Aik Ghalti ka Izala, P. 3; Roohany Khazaen, Vol.
18, P. 207)
“Muhammad has again come down among us. His
position is an improvement on his earlier visitation. If any man wishes to see
Muhammad, more competent, then he should see Ghulam Ahmad, in
Qadian.”
(Al-Badr, 25 Oct.
1906)
“Twenty Six years ago, God called me Muhammad and
Ahmad, in Buraheen-i-Ahmadiah.”
(Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 22, P.
502)
Obviously, when a devote and knowledgeable
Qadiani confirms “Muhammad is his Servant and Messenger”, he is referring to his
so-called “improved Muhammad” (God forbid), Mirza Ghulam Qadiani, and not to the
beloved Prophet(SAW) of Islam.
Indeed, the utterance of Kalimah by Qadiani
leaders and missionaries is only an attempt to mislead and entrap uninformed
Muslims and convince the naive among their membership that they belong to a
Muslim denomination. The holy Book of Islam has already passed a verdict on
those who reject the Truth and utter Kalimah for their personal pleasure and to
attain worldly gains:
When the Hypocrites come to thee, they say, “We
bear witness that thou art indeed the Messenger of Allah.” Yea, Allah knows that
thou art indeed His Messenger, and Allah bears witness that the Hypocrites are
indeed liars.

63:1)

I understand that the Ahmadi faith does not
synchronize with your beliefs. There are many religions in the world and they
are all different from each other. The conversation here is focused on the
persecution that the Ahmadis have faced because their religion is different from
the majority. The necessity of co-existence dictates that difference of
religion, race, gender and ethnicity do not become an impediment in survival and
progress of any group. A transgression from this rule of co-existence could lead
to extinction of a state and collapse of society. I think Pakistanis have
repeatedly failed their test of multiculturalism and tolerance. Respect.

around watch news all day long and then come here and write your analysis like
someone who care about what happens in Pakistan. (for which you don’t give a

Anyways just wanted to point to you that never
compare Somalia with Pakistan. Somalia is a great nation with a history and
culture. It has the strongest economy among other African nations and no way its
near to what Pakistan is. For starters read wikipidia

Thanks for chastising me. Your criticism on my

some water but for the f*** comment. I would not write on Pakistan if I was not
concerned. I could be delusional in pretending that I know, but I wonder if you
really doubt my relatedness to Pakistan. So your assumption that I migrated to
America or Canada could make me a distant relative compared to you, if you still
live in Pakistan. The view from distance could provide a different perspective.
Why does my reference to Somalia irk you if that country is doing great?

I do not approve of many posts on this blog but
to the fanatic and bigot asking the author to take down referencing Ahmedi
places of worship of mosque, I have the following to
say:-
PPC:- 298-B(1)Any person of the Quadiani group or
the Lahori group (who
call themselves ‘Ahmadis’ or by any other name
who by words, either spoken or written, or by visible
representation-
(d) refers to, or names, or calls, his place of
worship a “Masjid”;
shall be punished with imprisonment of either
description for a term which may extend to three years, and shall also be liable
to fine.
A “constitutional” Muslim, Chrisitan, Hindu,
Zoroastrian, Buddhist or member of any other religious group can refer to the
Ahmedi places of worship as “Mosque” without any legal problems. Perhaps the
legislators never imagined that there would be brave people who could refer to
these places as Mosques, for they knew that there’ll be people like you who’ll
murder them anyway.
Now, I ask you to provoke your AKNTM bigots to go
out and reach your bigot leaders elected on “Ulama” seats in the Senate and get
the PPC amended if you want to prosecute the author. You filthy people did not
fight for Pakistan yet hijacked its ideology on the very day of Independence. Go

Mr ahsan, I can tell you right now that I am in
Pakistan and didn’t migrate to America or Canada or Somalia and yet I find
myself in agreement with Malik Rashid
Lets get one thing absolutely certain here. What
we are arguing about is weather should be allowed to call themselves Muslims or
not. I am assuming that we are all in agreement that they are equal citizens of
Pakistan and should not be prosecuted for having a different
faith.
Saying that you are in disagreement with their
claim of being a Muslim is personally fine by me. But to ink it in law and to
prosecute someone who wishes to disagree with you is draconian. Some hard-line
hanablis consider some accepted sects of Islam as non Islamic but even they did
not go to the extent of persecution. If someone is claiming to some idea they
should be allowed to plead their case. How many times have we had unbiased
discussions regarding this?
Secondly, Major sahab, and to all others quoting
quarn/hadith. Firstly, these verses and other stuff need to represented to a
qadiani scholar who should be allowed to properly give a response. Secondly, in
light of your line of argument, should we also propose that marriages between
adult men and 6 year girls be allowed since it was allowed in Islam, and since
it was sunnah such acts should be encouraged. No we can’t do that can we. In
short giving references to quran/hadith/life and times of the prophet is not an
argument.

Do you condone the recent murder of
Ahmadi-Muslims at Friday-prayer congregations in Lahore? Instead of posting
material against the owner of this web-site, please answer my
question.

@Majid Pasha: Great work brother. Now we have
this surkha by the balz. He is choor like Zardari. He has no right talking about
Islam and Pakistan.
TO ALL OTHERS WHO HAVE COMMENTED ON HIS
SUPPORT:
Pakistan was created solely on Islam and was made
to be an Islamic country- complete and full with no room for any other ideas or
religion except Islam. We should actually discourage tourists from non-Muslim
countries and strip non-Muslims of Pakistani citizenship- Ahmadis and Ismailis
included. We should try to emulate the model of Saudi/Sudan/Somalia and strive
to become like them.
Ahmadis and Ismalis are NON-MUSLIMS. GET THEM OUT
OF PAKISTAN. OR CAPTURE THEM ALIVE AND ENSLAVE THEM UNTIL THEY ACCEPT
ISLAM.

Integrity, trustworthiness, benevolence, and fairness are among some qualities

It is our bad luck we are having “KHOOOTEY SIKAY”
since the day Pakistan was created by Allah. Quaid-e-Azam’s vision is not
hidden, nor the aim to create an independent Muslim State. Khootey Sikay like
you always try to misguide the ignorant people to walk on your Dajjali Path. You
yourself know that you calling Ahmedi’s Muslim is a sin. Will you live forever?
Will you never Stand on the Day of Judgment? by writing this article to whom you
are showing your loyalty?

post
“Pakistan was created solely on Islam and was

I would like you to prove that. I state my case
with Jinnah’s address to the constituent assembly “In due course of time Muslims
will cease to be Muslims, Hindus will cease to be Hindus and Christians will
cease to be Christians, not in the religious sense for that is a personal matter
of each individual, … to emerge as citizens of one nation
Pakistan”
“We should actually discourage tourists from
non-muslim countries and strip non-muslims of Pakistani
citizenship”
Why? They are tax paying citizens of the country.
they have equal rights.
“- Ahmadis and Ismailis included. We should try
to emulate the model of Saudi/Sudan/Somalia and strive to become like
them.”
Saudi model? are you sure? Have you been to
saudia arab? i have!. do you know how the royal family fucntions there? do you
know what kind of islam it conforms to? do you know that no mullah over there of
any “place of worship” (i refuse to call Sunni/Shia/Wahabi places of worship as
mosques on this thread) are not allowed to say anything unless they get it
approved?
Sudan? Dafur … are you
sure?
Somalia? I dont wanna die

quote from akber’s
post
“idiot some day read the idealogy of
pakistan.”
have you read it? I have read my post above and
look at the snippet I copied from Jinnahs address, and one more thing did you
know that mullahs like yourself were against the creation of pakistan. They were
with the congress. Moududi reffered to Quiad-e-Azam as
Kafir-e-Azam.
“It was created over sacrifice of 5 million ppl.
slogan was PAKISTAN ka matlab kai #La ILAH ha
ILalah#”
Ahmedis believe in the “La ILAH ha ILalah” part
btw. they also beleive in
“Mohammad-ur-Rasool-allah”.
“yeh we know ppl using youth for suicide bombing
is wrong ,,, and that is NOT Islam. ”
I am sure the suicide bomber would disagree with
you on that. A says B is not the real Islam, B says A is not the real Islam. And
along comes C and says Both of them are not “real Islam” … so will the real
Islam please stand up.
“But Ahmedis are NON
MUSLIMS”
You have to back that up with some evidence no?
what actually gives you the right to say that. I say you’re not a
Muslim.
“Someday return to HOLY QURAN u will find its
gives all the solutions to all the problems we are facing
today”
Ahan I would really really like to bebate you on
that. Can you elaborate the problems which we are facing today and exactly which
verse in the quran has solutions to those problems.
“its time to start learning what is written in

catch up

@ Major Rana
I posted this earlier seems like you missed it so
I am posting it again. i would like to your view since your the only one who is
calm and is supporting the stance that qadianis cannot be called
muslims.
Major sahab, and to all others quoting
quarn/hadith. Firstly, these verses and other stuff need to represented to a
qadiani scholar who should be allowed to properly give a response. Secondly, in
light of your line of argument, should we also propose that marriages between
adult men and 6 year girls be allowed since it was allowed in Islam, and since
it was sunnah such acts should be encouraged. No we can’t do that can we. In
short giving references to Quran/hadith/life and times of the prophet is not an
argument.
One more thing, is it awkward that we are the
only country in the world which has a law that states that qadianis cannot refer
to themselves as Muslims and if they do they will be
punished.
I would also like you to define what a Muslim is.
Becuase I know for a fact that Qadianis believe in no god but Allah (La ilaha
Illallah) and they believe that Mohammad was his prophet
(Mohammed-ur-Rasool-allah) and they also beleive that Mohammad was the last
law-bearing prophet (I guess many of you don’t know
that)

The business of producing ‘Kafir’ has spread so
much that every individual claiming to be a Muslim could find two persons
calling them kaafir.
An article by Mohammad
Hanif
Published in Urdu at
bbc.com
KAFIR FACTORY
To prove yourself a Pakistani citizen, when you
fill out application form for an identity card, you are asked a question that is
not asked of any Muslim living in any other Muslim
country.
You are not asked if you are mentally healthy,
whether all your limbs are intact, if you are a thief or smuggler, number of
rapes you committed, ever paid tax, consider Jinnah as Quaid-e-Azam(great
leader) or Kaafir-e-Azam(biggest infidel), whether you send your kids to school
or drop them at a market place to beg, you believe in socialism or Islamic
sharia, you think of Pak-army as Pakistan’s asset or the thief of nation’s
assets. You are not required to prove if you are a Hindu, Christian,
Parsee(Zoroastrian), Sikh or idol worshiper. The oath-form that is a part of
national identity card application, the one we have been filling out for the
last 25 years with our signature or thumb-impression, seeks only one sworn
testimony that I am not an Ahmadi, not a Qadiani, nor do I belong to their
sub-sect, the Lahori group.
Why does a small sect (one that loves prayers,
beards and sermons) scare us so much? How do those who say
‘Assalam-o-alaikum’(Muslim greeting), ‘Bismillah’(begin in god’s name) or pray
in mosques, endanger our faith to such a degree that somebody could languish in
jail for saying ’salam’, ‘bismillah’ or ‘mosque’?
How is it that no other Islamic country found
their faith or society endangered by this evil spreading out of a village named
‘Qadian’?
The attackers of Ahmadi mosques in Lahore were so
young that they would’nt know Ahmadis used to be a Muslim sect before 1974. 35
years have solidified our faith so much that not only we brand them infidel but
call them ‘kaafir’ of the worst kind.
When we refer to Ahmadi mosque as ‘a place of
worship’, we save ourselves from a 3year rigorous imprisonment by following the
law of the land, and insinuate that this place is not a temple, church, gurdwara
or a synagogue; it is a place of worship where wild pagans and non-believers
make fun of believers in god and prophet. You might be shocked that Ahmadis
think they are superior muslims, above all others.

Translation of the rest of the article ‘Kafir
Factory”
Folks who harbor a soft corner for Ahmadis might
blame Maulana Maudoodi and Bhutto Shaheed for the situation. True, Maudoodi and
other Maulanas recorded such defeat in the 1970 elections that nobody after them
could claim such act, but within 4 years of their defeat they made history by
manipulating the elected parliament into doing something that no military
dictator or Amir-ul-Momineen(Head of the faithful) had ever
accomplished.
Deserving of contemplation is the fact how
something that could not be done in the whole Islamic world, nor did most of the
‘lost’ Muslim souls ever thought about, became possible in this god-gifted
country?
Before Pakistan came into existence, Mohammad Ali
Jinnah, addressing a public meeting said that he wanted this country to be a
laboratory where Islamic ideas could be experimented upon. This saying of
Quaid-e-Azam is taught in Social Studies and History books at every
school.
Successful experiments at laboratory turn out
products that are mass-produced. The successful experiment of producing Kafir in
the 70s did not stop there. 80s and 90s saw emergence of the slogan, ‘Kafir,
kafir, Shia Kafir’(Shias are dis-believers). Doctors, teachers, lawyers, traders
and intellectuals belonging to Shia faith were so brutally murdered that Ahmadis
must have exclaimed, “Thanks god, we are Kafir, not
Shia.”
Since then, the business of producing Kafir has
expanded so much that every citizen who believes to be a ‘Musalman’ could find
two musalmans who think of him/her as kafir. Those who say “Ya Rasool Allah”
believe that chanters of “Ya Hussain” are kafir. Those who pray with their hands
folded think that those who let their hands loose during prayers are kafir.
Those who wish their offerings at Daata Saheb, consider whirlers at Bullhay Shah
as Kafir.
The army used to believe that Taliban are
‘Momin’(devout believers), but now they think of them as kafir, or, lead us to
believe so. Punjab’s government thinks Punjabi speaking Taliban are Musalman and
Pushto speaking Taliban are Kafir. Is this a country, o’lord, or a kafir
producing factory!
When we declare somebody a kafir by signing or
thumb-impressing an identity card form, we open a gate of fatwa(edict) against
ourselves.
Since those killed were the worst kafir, praying
for their blessing could be seen as ‘kufr’(disbelief), but the least we could do
is pray for survival of those still alive.

@ Kamran Farooqi and the rest of the fanatics or
as I love calling them MUSLIM ZIONISTS in their Zaid Hionist
fashion
“We should try to emulate the model of
Saudi/Sudan/Somalia and strive to become like
them.”
Being a woman, I reject Saudia, where they do not
respect women and treat them as only sex objects. But perhaps you would not have
any problem with that, as you do not consider women as equal citizens anyway. If
you want to follow the model of Sudan, why not go there yourself and try living
it out? And while you are at it, also give a shot to
Somalia.
“Ahmadis and Ismalis are NON-MUSLIMS. Get Them
Out Of Pakistan. Or Capture Them Alive And Enslave Them Until They Accept
Islam.”
Why stop at only Ahmedis and Ismailis? Why not
include Shia as well, like that retarded website of the Hasht Chaar Yaar claims?
(Which in my view should be banned, after all when facebook can be curtailed,
there is no harm doing the same to such sites as HCY that spew out
hatred.)
You follow some bigoted school of thought that
would consider any other school of thought as the wrong one. You people would
love to go back in history and molest 6-year-old girls in the name of sunnah
perhaps?
P.S. A lot of big businesses and industries are
owned by Ismailis, Ahmedis and Shias. Try getting rid of them, and then run your
economy on their alms from abroad if you can. But apparently, most of those
ventures would be spoofed up in Jihad against the same people who helped you. It
is like the dog who bites the feeding hand. (Although am sure if a dog had a
tongue, it would have voiced its abhorrence at being compared to you
guys.)
