Why Ahmadi Muslims are under attack in Pakistan?

Ahmadiyya Times does not know Mr. Munawar Ali Shahid, the Daily Times'  reader who posed the following questions to the conscience of Pakistan through his letter to the Daily Times' Editor. Our staff came across the comments during a random news search.

Sir: On February 19, 2009, a leading Urdu newspaper reported that a special police branch had been warned that 35 Ahmadis were on a hit list. That year 11 out of them were shot dead because of their faith. These brutal attacks spanned Quetta, Multan, Karachi, Kotri and Faisalabad to name a few places. So far in 2010, two Ahmadis have been murdered. Four suspects, nominated in an FIR, were released by the police due to the political pressure applied by a local MPA, who belongs to the PML-N. In other cases, no arrests have been made.

Many Ahmadis have been killed in cold blood since Ziaul Haq passed ordinances promoting religious cleansing. Ahmadis are being denied their rights and their freedom, their lives and protection. The police and the government have taken a holiday where Ahmadis are concerned. Ahmadis have always showed their tolerance and patience, so it is about time the judiciary took notice.

  1. Thanks Munawar Shahid but sadly Pakistani Mullahs have crippled the national intellect and sense of reasonalness,justice, equality and fairness to all thereby making them mentally bankrupt as they did not and would not like to know anything other than their selfish interests at the costs of the rights of the people in their neighbourhood and of the fellow citizens. shame shame
