I have to agree with your assessment on the face of it, but nevertheless the Ahmadis are probably Islam's best chance at modeling civilized behavior, and I don't want to see them get wiped out.

They are very atypical. Like the Jehovah's Witnesses of Islam.

If I had to describe Islam in a single phrase, it would be “a collection of justifications for Mohammad’s personal urges and desires”.

I’d wager it’s damn near impossible to civilize that. Probably the only reason these people carry the name is the death sentence that hangs over any who would leave the religion.
