Over 450 processions and gatherings were organised in Punjab to mark the Khatme Nabuwat declaration by the Supreme Court that declared Ahmadis as ‘non-Muslims’ in 1974.
“The option available for Ahmadis is to accept Islam and abandon conspiracies against Muslims and Pakistan,” speakers at the conference said.
The government should keep a check on Ahmadis purchasing property in Pakistan, they suggested, stressing on “the need to declare Ahmadis as terrorists.”
Heralding the “sacrifices of the right-wing parties to define Islam and declare Ahmadis as minorities,” speakers at the conference vowed to “protect the religious identity of Pakistan in the world.”
In a “message” to the Ahmadis, the speakers said they should either “accept Islam” or their legal status as minorities in Pakistan and “obey” the constitution of Pakistan.
On an ending note, the speakers vowed to “continue [their] struggle against Ahmadis across the world.”

Pakistan is “a laboratory of abuse in the name of religion” and Pakistan’s path of intense religious violence began with an anti-Ahmadiyah ordinance. You reap what you sow!
MULLAHs now hold Pakistani society by the throat. His version of Islam has plunged Pakistan into an epidemic of honor killings, hate murders and mob executions of fellow Muslims and minorities alike. Our society is paying the price for allowing the Mullah to propagate extremism and intolerance from the pulpit.
in southpunjab urdu newspapers even in express urdu every day an anti ahmadi content is published i met ahmadis they are really nice people

Someone who has read the book.
Where did I say that all this happened due to Ahmadis being declared non-Muslim. Read carefully what I said. ‘Muslims killing Muslims’ that's what certainly is the result of state’s interference with religion.
Someone’s word of wisdom cannot be thrown in dust bin if he made a mistake or two. But again it applies only to those who want to learn from their mistakes.
@ Anwar Its nothing to do what happening in pakistan there are problrms exist every where in the world John F kennedy also did mastake when invading korea for what reason he did and and iran iraq war was happend too russia invaded afghanistan so what these all thing because of mirzais got declare non muslims????? hahah
Mods didn't approve my last comment. I guess comments in this news item are being delibrately pushed in favour of anti-Ahmadiyya sentiments. This is not good journalism.
Ahmadis were declared non-Muslim in 74 but see now every sect is against other and deep down their heart they don't consider them Muslims but don't have guts to say it openly. Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah has said it openly on many talk shows.
This has become reality in today's Pakistan.
@sunny: Hi my point is simple - have you researched the holy prophets example on this issue. ie who has the right to call themselves muslims or not. Please do so.
@Nasir Jan - dont be so enraged - truth is bitter. Right at Judgement Day everything will be clear - Dodh ka dodh pani ka pani. However, its common sense, whch is not common at all- that those peoploe having different belief then Muslims are out of Islam and have no right to call themselves Muslim and their worship place as Masjid.
Qadyanis were reightly declared out of Islam (Kafir) becuase of their beleif. why they insisted to be Muslim while their concept of Khatma-e-Nabuwat is different from Muslims. Bahais have accepted they r different from Muslims. Qadyanis should also accept and abondon their pratice of calling themselves Muslims and preaching Qadyanism in disguise of Islam. It must b noted that out of sub-continent they call theselves Qadyani Muslims particularly in Africa and have converted a large number of innocent and ignorant people to qadyani religion in disguise of Islam.
@ Nasir jan I hope that time comes man its gonna be ( akhry keel tabooth me)
@ Nasir jan @ quraishi. nasir jan what they say in urdu (tali tono hathow se bachty hai) i think u understand that and quraishi yes i am right indeed no more.
@Ali Tanoli: Mr Tanoli, Very true indeed, if you hate some one, keep it to your self.
@ Anwer We have a book called Quran unchanged since came to last prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him & his family) it said this and i believe that he is last Nabi and Rasool in all meaning & all these kazabs came in islamic culture thats why i think i am right.
@Ali Tanoli: How can you judge other's faith? If you think you have that right then you are claiming to be God. You have a right to think whatever you want to but you cannot force others to accept your views at gun point.
Strange! This year they forgot to mention their 10,000 (often quoted as 30,000) martyrs of 1953 anti-Ahmadiyya riots allegedly killed by Ahmadis.
All these right-wing Parties were actively engaged in anti-Pakistan campaigns before independence and now they have become guardian of Pakistan and Islam. They even copy-righted Islam which was endorsed by our Supreme Court.
For every bad incident in Pakistan Ahmadis are blamed. Killing of Liaquat Ali Khan, 1953's Martial Law, Ayub Khan's Martial Law, Dhaka fall, ZAB's hanging, Russian/American invasion in Afghanistan, Suicide bombings and now sectarianism and terrorism.
BTW have these anti-Ahmadiyya organizations ever been investigated for sources of their funding for organizing year long processions, rallies, conferences where thousands of participants are brought-in from other places by providing them free transportation, boarding and lodging? These activities do require a real fortune.
@ Kashif if u hate some body just keep it to your self E.T is not the place to show (you are minority) its a fact just live with that & for your kind information there was in the past many kazab liars came for examples most recent one gohar shahi, and famouse one bahai in persia ghulam qadianis of gurdhas pur punjab india.
May I ask how these peaceful people are terrorists? Last year 86 Ahmadis lost their lives in one fell swoop. More and more are being targeted all over Pakistan. Have they ever once had a 'Dharna', burned tires and busses or blocked roads?
If anyone is a terrorist it would be the leaders of religious groups who incite the masses to violence and brutality.
Ahmadis are responsible for "sectarianism and terrorism" in Pakistan claims the recently concluded Khatme Nabuwwat conference.
This a new and unique claim against the Ahmadis. Previously they were blamed for everything under the sun from Liaquat Ali Khan's murder to the Kashmir dispute. The Khatme Nabuwwat conference is certainly playing to the world gallery. The adversaries of the Ahmadis have always made frivolous accusations, but have always failed to provide evidence. If Ahmadies have conspiracies against Pakistan, why are not taken to courts?
The simple fact is that Ahmadies are at the receiving end of the "sectarianism and terrorism" genie unleashed by the dark ignorant forces.
“Ahmadis are part of a Jewish conspiracy against Islam and Pakistan and are responsible for sectarianism and terrorism in the country,”
Nothing can be far from truth, some Pakistanis surpass even Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi's very successful propaganda minister, at their sinister jobs.
Declaring Ahmadis 'non-Muslims' has been the downfall of this country. And if they still cannot realize that and will continue to persecute this community and ridicule the true Islam, then the downfall shall continue and Allah will hold them into account on the Day of Judgement eventually.
wow just wow
Ahmadi Muslims also believe in Khatme Nabuwwat (Khatmenubuwwat.com). It is sad how those who were with the Quaid during Pakistan's formation (Sir Zafarullah Khan drafted the Pakistan Resolution in 1940) namely the Ahmadi Muslims are targets of hate crimes and violence at the hands of those who vehemently opposed Pakistan and termed it "Palidistan" and its founder "Kafir-e-Azam" namely the Majlis-e-Ahrar Mullahs from which the terrorist Khatme Nubuwwat Organization erupted.
The main aim of this terrorist group is spread terror against the Ahmadis, especially in Pakistan but also abroad. Pakistan must wake up to this dangerous rightist party that serves to punish a peaceful and innocent loyal Pakistani community.
