Pakistan destroys Mosque of Ahmadi Muslim minority

An Ahmadi Mosque in Punjab province, in south-eastern Pakistan, was partially destroyed on October 25, the latest casualty in Pakistan’s campaign against the tiny Muslim minority.

Assistant Commissioner of Hasilpur, Mohammad Tayyab led the Friday operation which saw the destruction of the Mosque’s Mihrab. He was accompanied by the Police officers and officials from Bladia, the local development authority.

A spokesperson for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Pakistan, Saleemuddin, confirmed the incident saying the Local Government & Community Development authority “destroyed parts of the building without notice”. He added that members of the Ahmadi community who filmed the illegal demolition were also falsely charged by Police.

Ahmadiyyas are an Islamic sect that arose in the 1800s when a guy came along claiming to be the next in line prophet after Mo.

As per Islam, Mo is the "seal of the prophets" so claiming there was another prophet is heresy.

Muslims have no compunction about blowing up mosques.

Doesn’t sound like Pakistan destroyed the mosque it sounds more like the local government did so. The national government may sympathize with the culprits but it remains to be seen if it has any authority over a local matter or not, or if it does, if it will uphold the law or let the illegal demolition go unpunished.

the law in Pakistan since 1970 is that Ahmadiyyas can’t call themselves Muslim, can’t call their place of worship a mosque

Why isn’t the U.S. doing the same thing?

“Why isn’t the U.S. doing the same thing?”

The United States is “woke” and “diverse.” However, and interestingly, woke-ness seems on the decline. I read that recently Saturday Night Live started telling jokes about cancel culture. Instead of apologizing in the face of criticism, they doubled down with even more jokes. In a (dull) speech Barak Obama came out against cancel culture and the woke left. The pendulum is swinging. All it takes to start outlawing mosques and Sharia is for the LGBT crowd to come out against them. Then, you will know the pendulum is heading rapidly in the opposite direction.

Pakistan destroying a mosque is small potatoes compared to China.
China is sending men to sleep in the same beds as Muslim women while their husbands are sent to prison camps

Syncretic Islamic sect, tolerant of other religions so viewed as a heresy by Sunni, Shia, etc.
