As most readers will know, Asia Bibi, a Christian, is facing the death sentence for blasphemy in Pakistan. The governor of Punjab, Salman Taseer, was assassinated because he expressed support for her. It now seems as though the prosecution of Bibi is being urged on (and funded) by UK based individuals:
Qari, according to some of his close friends, was now thinking of not pursuing the case anymore and expressed his desire to some of his friends, only to find himself in a difficult situation when activists of a religious organisation ‘convinced’ him not to change his mind.
“We will chase her through hell … don’t worry about the money, hiring best lawyers,” Salam told The Express Tribune, quoting the son of Khatm-e-Nabuwat’s London chapter’s leader.
The leader’s son flew in to Nankana from London after hearing that Salam might not go to Lahore High Court (LHC) when the review petition against Aasia’s conviction is taken up.
There’s a horrible irony in the fact that Pakistani lawyers are risking their lives to defend Bibi while British, or at least UK based, zealots are (apparently) doing their best to get her killed.
The Muslim Council of Britain logo on the Khatme Nubuwwat London branch website linked to above says – “MCB Condemns Violence or Hatred Towards Any Group”
Here is their spiel:
Khatme Nubuwwat means that Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) is the Last of the Prophets. The process and routine of appointing Prophets and Messengers by Almighty Allah has been terminated, finished, ended, stopped, and sealed. None will be appointed as prophet after Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H). His prophethood will continue until the judgement day and the day after, only that person can claim to be a Muslim who believes in Khatme Nubuwwat and confesses.
Directly underneath that, (and underneath the MCB’s logo professing being against hatred or demonisation), is a screed of hate mongering towards the Ahmaddiya.
What is Qadiyanism (or so-called Ahmadiya)?
Qadiyanism is a movement started in a town called Qadiyan in India by a man called Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1839 – 1908). Initially, he declared himself as a Muslim writer; then he announced himself as a revivalist (Mujaddid); in 1891, he claimed to be the Promised Mehdi and the Promised Messiah; and in 1901, he proclaimed himself a prophet of God! In 1914 a split took place in the Qadiyani group with the accession of Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad, the 2nd successor; over definitions of doctrines forming the mainstream of Qadiani group. They are respectively known as Qadiani and Lahori sects. Both Qadianis group fraudulently claim to be one of the Muslim sects but infact they are unrighteous cult, kafir and non-muslim. Mirza Ghulam Qadiyani died on 26th May 1908 in Lahore (Pakistan) through illness being a victim of cholera. Mirza Ghulam was buried in a village of Qadiyan.
The Resolution of the Rabitah Al-Alam Al-Islami (Makkah) and Pakistan’s constitutional amendment of 1974 declared the Qadianism (Qadianis and Lahoris) as non-Muslims.
Purpose of this website
Our organisation, through this web site, attempts to create awareness about the Qadiani (Ahmadiyya). We also endeavour to provide answers to the numerous requests we receive from the worldwide Muslim community for information on this group.
“Ahmadis are traitors both to Islam and to India” (Sir Allama Muhammad Iqbal’s letter to Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru), Lahore, June 21, 1936
There is a significant entry on Wikipedia about this group:
Khatm-e-Nubuwwat Academy (English:Finality of Prophethood Academy) claims to be simply an Ahmadiyya-awareness organisation located in Forest Gate, London, United Kingdom. It has been the subject of the 2010 controversy in the United Kingdom regarding an alleged hate campaign against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Akber Choudhry, a political analyst and the founding member of the Muslim Identity Group, is the spokesperson for the Khatm-e-Nubuwwat Academy.
A number of Members of Parliaments commented on the alleged hate campaign and the Academy in a Parliamentary debate on October 20, 2010.[1]
…..
The Independent mentioned the Khatme Nubuwwat Academy for allegedly being behind a hatred campaign against the Ahmadis. The website belonging to the Academy describes Ahmadis as nothing but a gang of traitors, apostates and infidels. With reference to this, Akber Choudhry, a spokesman for the Academy stated, The words ‘apostates’ and ‘infidels’ are understood differently in English than in their Islamic theological sense, especially within the Urdu-speaking Muslims, and can be replaced by terms more sensitive to the current climate in which the connotations of these words have changed quite rapidly in the past few years .[4] With reference to the anti-Ahmadiyya laws in Pakistan, Imam Suhail Bawa, a leading Khatm e Nubuwwat preacher stated that then the 1953 Lahore agitation against the Qadianis will be repeated in the streets once more. The streets and roads of Lahore were filled with blood in that agitation. The term Wajib-ul Qatal (liable to be killed) has not been used although it is commonly used by similar Khatme Nubuwwat organizations and preachers in Pakistan.[4]
However, according to the Crown Prosecution Service, no crimes were committed and no laws was broken in the United Kingdom. The CPS has been crticized for not prosecuting alleged hate crimes. Human rights activist Eric Avebury called for an investigation into why the CPS had only brought one case against incitement to religious hatred since the law came into being in 2006.
