February 6, 2013 - An out of control mob made up from various Islamist extremist factions descended on the Ahmadiyya Muslim Annual Convention site in Dhaka, Bangladesh, it is reported.
The mob attacked the facilities and set it ablaze to prevent the community from holding its 89th 3-day Annual Convention starting on February 8.
The sources inside the convention planning committee confirmed the attack and told Ahmadiyya Times that the venue for the Annual Convention has been shifted to the Ahmadiyya Muslim National Headquarters.
The overall program will remain uninterrupted, the source stated.
This is the second time that a handful of Islamist clerics have attempted to derail an Ahmadiyya Convention in the Bangladeshi Capital, Dhaka.
In the previous disturbances, where there were reports of police and civil authorities joining with the clerics to spoil the program at the Ahmadiyya event, the program was shifted to the Ahmadiyya central facility and the proceedings had concluded successfully.
In recent days Dhaka has been a scene of violent protests called by Jamat-e Islami (JI) after a JI cleric was convicted for war crimes committed during the 1971 independence struggle.
The JI Mollah was convicted of killing a student, a family of 11, and of aiding Pakistani troops in killing 369 other people, the Miami Herald has reported.

ReplyDeleteMay Allah give patience to Jamaa't Ahmadiyya and make this a source of guidance for the perpetrators, amin.
They are only displaying their frustration and pain at the progress of the Ahmadiyya Jama'at. And they don't seem to remember that any one who goes against the divine way cannot prosper in the true sense of prosperity!
