Some of Samia Sultan’s neighbours don’t greet her any more, and sometimes it’s hard for her to understand why. Sultan, a dentist, lives in Glasgow, in an area of the city that is – like most Muslim populations in the UK – majority Sunni. But Sultan isn’t Sunni: she is Ahmadi. And that is the source of the problem.
“My neighbours were fine, but when they came to know I was Ahmadi, their attitude changed,” Sultan explains....“They would no longer reply to my greeting As-salāmu ‘alaykum [peace be upon you]” with Wa’alaykumu s-salām [and upon you peace].”
When Asad Shah, a popular shopkeeper living in the multicultural Shawlands area of Glasgow, was fatally stabbed outside his newsagents on the night before Good Friday, the initial local presumption was that this had been a white-on-black hate crime...But it soon emerged that Police Scotland were treating the crime as “religiously prejudiced”, an unusually specific form of words, and that Shah was an Ahmadi, a member of a minority sect of Islam that faces persecution and bloody violence in countries such as Pakistan and Indonesia, and is treated with open hostility by many orthodox Muslims in the UK because it differs from their belief that Muhammad is the final prophet sent to guide humankind, as orthodox Muslims believe is laid out in the Qur’an.
The man now charged with Shah’s murder is also a Muslim. On Thursday, Tanveer Ahmed, from Bradford, released a statement through his lawyer, justifying the killing because Shah had “disrespected” Islam.
A posting on the Facebook page Anti Qadianiat (Tahafuz Khatme Nubuwwat), included the Guardian’s report of Shah’s death, with the message “Congratulations to all Muslims”.

If you go around introducing yourself as an axe murderer, you get shunned too - and the axe murderer plans to kill only a few people, not everybody on the planet who isn’t also an axe murderer.
Asad Shah was a shopkeeper in Glasgow who was also an Ahmadi.
The Ahmadis are an unusually peaceful sect of Islam.
Asad Shah put up a sign in his shop saying Happy Easter to all his Christian customers.
He was murdered for it, by a sunni Muslim.
Now other Ahmadis (like Asad Shah) are being ostracised by sunni Muslims.
They are literally being ostracised - by sunni Muslims - for NOT being axe-murderers.
This is the text of the sign that Asad Shah put up a few hours before he was murdered.
"Good Friday and a very Happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nation … Let’s follow the real footstep of beloved holy Jesus Christ and get the real success in both worlds."
One can be peaceful, or one can follow Islam, but one can’t do both. Mohammad couldn’t have been more explicit.
The Sunnis who shun them know this, and would probably murder them all for heresy if the opportunity arose.
They should find in themselves the courage to reject the creed of the mad prophet in name as well as in practice.
The Ahmadi are delusional, peacenick, goofballs who unwittingly provide cover for Jihadist Muslims of the stealth and overt varieties. I often see and hear Ahmadi spokesmen in the mass media speaking about Islam and Muhammad with a positive peaceful spin. Thus misleading gullible Westerners to think that half or most Muslims must be like this.
The sad fact is that Ahmadi are maybe 1% of all Muslims so they are completely ineffective and useless while the other 99% of Muslims call them apostates. Seriously!. If Ahmadis were 25%-50% of Muslims then we would could relax more about the Islamic stealth Jihad of immigration into Western nations (especially Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, England etc) and their high birthrates.
The only way these dumb Ahmadis keep their sanity is by focusing only on the 20% of the Koran that is benign. Think extreme denial and tunnel vision. One of these silly fools is on Sean Hannity all the time.
And the Ahmadi are saints compared to the Sufis who have often engaged in Jihad such as in Kashmir today. The Sufis can be cool and mystical and harmless but they have in fact had a Jihadist strain for centuries. I was shocked when I learned this!
Thanks for the Reader’s Digest version. I am speechless.
Ahmadi
are they waiting for Muad Dhib
Very interesting. Thanks for all the information to consider.
Muslim Mormons?
Almaddhi are the Unitarians of the Muslim world - and the fact that they are routinely killed for it is proof that fundamentalist Islam is violent, aside from the Sunni/Shia violence that has gone on for 1400 years.
Pakistan’s constitution even denounces the religious group.
Perhaps I am not understanding you correctly. Are you insinuating that Ahmadis are axe-murderers? Please clarify.
Ahmadis are more like -— I think -— the Jehovah’s Witnesses of the Muslim world.
A “Peaceful” Muslim is an apostate.
You are welcome..thanks for reading.
Sufi Jihad?

May 15, 2005 Sufi Jihad? By Andrew G. Bostom
The Sufi branch of Islam has enjoyed spectacularly good press in the West. Hailed as peaceful mystics who believe jihad is a spiritual quest, nothing violent or unpleasant, Sufism has attracted favorable attention and converts from all sorts of Westerners, from new agers in Marin County, California, to East Coast intellectuals. But Sufis are not necessarily all peace—loving meditative seekers of the divine.
The formation of the 'The Sufi Jihadi Squadrons of Shaykh 'Abd al—Qadir al—Gilani' in Iraq was recently announced�at the� jihadist website, 'Jihad Unspun'. The Al—Gilani (d.1166) after whom they are named was in fact a Hanbali Sufi.
Sufi jihadists'(?)—a 'Hanbali Sufi'(??)—haven't we been lectured at great length about the singular evils of 'Wahhabism'� —rooted in the Hanbali school of Muslim jurisprudence, epitomized by Ibn Taymiyya (d. 1328)—versus its Islamic 'antithesis',� the ecumenical tradition of mystical Sufism???����
Notwithstanding the musings of a Muslim journalist and neo—convert from Bolshevism to Sufi Islam (see his bizarre and treacly 'profession of faith' here,�and a clinical description of what this newly described syndrome represents),� Sufism has been linked integrally to the Muslim institution of jihad war since the 11th century C.E.
EXCERPT____________
Killing everyone who is not a moslem is a core doctrine of islam. Anyone who calls himself a moslem is professing to want to kill you (and your children and everyone else), if you are not.
If they don’t actually want to do that, they shouldn’t be calling themselves moslems, it would be like calling yourself an axe murderer when you had no intention of murdering anyone with an axe.
They read the "jihad" passages of the Koran as allegorical, standing symbolically for the internal battle against evil temptation. Which is how many Christians consider the accounts of aggressive warfare and even genocide in the Old Testament; and how Gandhi nonviolently re-interpreted the Bhagavad Gita.
The fact that today's Christians (and for that matter, Jews) don't want to commit genocide against unbelievers, as the Israelites (e.g. Joshua and David) did against the Amalekites and other Canaanites, doesn't mean we aren't really Christians or Jews.
I’m aware of that interpretation, but it’s an exercise in absurdity; Mohammad himself spent most of his life slaughtering people en masse. An allegorical interpretation is grossly ahistorical and at direct odds with the life of their prophet.
There is no valid parallel to the OT; the Israelites did in fact kill off those people they were told to kill off, but those were one-shot deals for a very specific time and place. In mohammadeanism, it’s an eternal and perpetual command with no expiration date.
There is simply no way to make mohammadeanism peaceful, as Mo was one of the most violent and savage individuals to ever walk the planet and his creed was constructed specifically to justify his mass murders, slave-taking, rapes, deceptions, and basically anything else he felt like doing.
Even his own child-slave wife is quoted in the Hadiths as noting how Mo’s “revelations” kept conveniently commanding him to do what he had wanted to do beforehand anyway.
