Terror group Lashkar-e-Tayyaba have added a local president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community to their hit list, it is learnt from a periodic news report issued by the community's London headquarters.
Mr Ijaz Mahmood who leads the local chapter of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Mandi Bahauddin, a city in central Punjab, it the latest victim to face open death threats from the banned terrorist group.
"The local mosque of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is said to have been watched by local youths and a middle-aged man attempted to storm the building, asking for Mr Mahmood," the Ahmadiyya Persecution News report said.
TV channel airs death threats against Ahmadis
Islamic fundamentalism and Islamic extremism finds support in the Pakistani media, helping them to start easy hate campaigns against Ahmadis.
A series of pre-recorded speeches inciting violence against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community were recently aired by Bedari, a private TV channel in Pakistan.
The hate speeches, first recorded in the Punjab town of Sargodha during an anti-Ahmadi conference in August 2015, openly called for the Ahmadis' murder, the report said.
"Mirzais [derogatory term for Ahmadi Muslims] are infidels and must be killed," a speakers is heard saying, according to the Ahmadiyya Persecution News. "We announce war against them. We will shoot them in their heads.”

One wonders "Why declare a war against Ahmadis alone? The world is full of those who are not Muslim. Why pick a fight against Ahmadis alone?" Expediency, seems to be the answer, as Ahmadis are close by and unable to defend themselves.
The modern day Muslim Jihad is in stark contrast with the noble Jihad of early Islam when war was declared against the oppressor or the attacker. Now the modern day Mujahidin pick and choose who they will fight and usually the objects of their Jihad are the weak folks.
They declare war against the Pakistani Shia, but never talk about Iran that is full of the Shia. Of course the Shia are not bound by any pledge to non-violence so they respond but being in smaller in number their response is not enough to dampen the Jihadi spirit agaist the Pakistani Shia.
In case of Ahmadis they can give a free rein to their wrath as they know that Ahmadis would neither retaliate nor publicly protest. I suggest if these folks really want to do Jihad against the infidels they should pick nearby India, Russia or China.
If their Muhahidin don't get the dung beaten out of them then they can attack the European countries and the Americas. If any of the Mujahidin remain from converting to other religions to save their hides they can turn to the Ahmadis. For Ahmadis claim to be Muslims, at least.
