  1. In today's 21st century its very sad that most peaceful religion's so called followers are acting brutal on name of Islam and Holy prophet pbuh of Islam.

    Nothing new if we study history of all faiths and its followers in early days and in their later days.

    In Islam there are many sects and each of them has different interpretations of the Islamic faith. Unfortunately, Ahmadi Muslims are being prosecuted and victimized around the world for their belief that the Promised Messiah has come in the form of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. These extremists Muslims that are targeting Ahmadi mosques and houses are doing so based on their misinterpretations of the teachings of the Holy Quran, and the belief that their sect is the only viable Islamic sect. As an Ahmadi Muslim, I feel for these troubled families in Tangail and hope that situation improves. I also wish that the government steps forward and provides aid and protection to Ahmadi Muslims against radical Muslims.
