The High Commission of Canada to Pakistan recently shut down a Canadian-Pakistani anti-Ahmadiyya troll after receiving a tweet that termed the community non-Muslim, Rabwah Times reported.



On August 23, the high commission posted a tweet comparing Islamabad's Faisal Mosque with Ahmadi worship place Baitun Nur in Calgary.

In response, a Canadian-Pakistani tweeted saying, "Bait nur - Qadianis are declared non-muslims by courts-and muslims. You must respect court judgment?"

In a first: Anti-Ahmadiyya advert in mainstream media

Calgary's Baitun Nur opened in 2008. The worship place was constructed by the Jamaat-i-Ahmadiyya. Many Ahmadis have been compelled to seek refuge in Canada due to rising violence in Pakistan.
