Dear Affaf
This is not an
important incident because this is just a fruit of the following law of
the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. I bet you have to hear some more
outcomes of this law which most of the Common Pakistani
fellows are not aware and do not get affected except Ahmadis. These
inhuman laws are worst then the apart head laws of
South
Africa.
Most of the Human rights champions narrated their views in their sermons
and their intellectuality does not go beyond the apart head South African
laws. If they ever read our Pakistan Penal Code, not only those HUMAN
RIGHTS ACTIVIST but also the African law makers would get embarrassed for
sure.
Remember back in 1984 when the Government of
Pakistan promulgated an ordinance called
Prohibition of Qadianiat Ordinance- 1984 by which Pakistan
penal code was amended by Section 298-B and Section 298-C, prohibiting
Ahmadis to follow Islamic way of life, using Muslim names, terminologies,
preaching their faith, invite other to accept their faith, say Kalma,
Azaan, Mosque and to profess themselves Muslim. In this way Ahmadis were
deprived of their fundamental human rights. Since the promulgation of an
ordinance in 1984, it is a criminal offence in Pakistan for Ahmadis to
call themselves Muslim, to use Muslim practices of worship, Muslim terms
of greeting or to propagate their faith. In practice it means that Ahmadis
can be -- and are -- imprisoned for calling their place of worship a
"mosque", or for using the popular greeting "assalam-o-alaikum".
In December, 1989, the
local police charged & wrote the FIR against the whole population (over
48000) of the town of
Rabwah
where Ahmadis are comparatively in majority under the abovementioned law
when the Ahmadis were celebrating the birthday of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh).
The police argued that according to the law, Ahmadis cannot celebrate that
day like other Muslims. It further confirmed that Ahmadis are not safe in
our country at any place regardless of the majority or minority. The
inhuman & satanic laws follow each and every Ahmadi in Pakistan and hang
on him like a naked sword and keep him in continuous fear of persecution
regardless how & where he lives. Anyone can charge them under the above
stated laws and which might result 3-years imprisonment
