Ahmadis in Pakistan are being persecuted and erased from their lands in the name of Allah. The issue is not addressed by the Pakistani media, and the statement "Ahmadis are not Muslims" has become an attack on the entire community. Pakistan, originally established to protect the rights of Muslims, now considers anyone who does not conform to the "right" type of Muslim as an outsider. Ahmadis have been targeted through hate speech and marginalized by elevating one religion over others. The persecution of Ahmadis is not new, with laws and punishments restricting their faith. This erasure is facilitated by the silence of law enforcement agencies and the government. The discrimination contradicts Prophet Muhammad's teachings and violates their human rights. The international community must condemn this genocide and advocate for the rights of Ahmadis in Pakistan.

Ahmadis in Pakistan are being persecuted and erased from their own lands in the name of Allah. The Pakistani media is afraid to address this issue, and the statement "Ahmadis are not Muslims" has become an attack on the entire community. Pakistan, a country established to protect the rights of Muslims, has now become a place where anyone who does not conform to the "right" type of Muslim is considered an outsider. The matter of faith is a personal one between an individual and God, and it is not for humans to judge the authenticity of that connection.
Ahmadis have been targeted in various ways, including through hate speech from prominent figures. This hate speech reflects a narrative of marginalizing and isolating those who are deemed non-Muslims, as well as those who follow different faiths. It is about elevating one religion over all others and distorting Mohammad Ali Jinnah's vision of a state for Muslims into one of bigotry.
The persecution of Ahmadis is not new. The 1974 Second Amendment of the Pakistani Constitution classified Ahmadis as non-Muslims, while Ordinance XX in 1984 made it illegal for them to practice their faith, with punishment including imprisonment and fines. Recently, three Ahmadis were sentenced to death on blasphemy charges for tearing down posters calling for a boycott of Ahmadis. This persecution amounts to a genocide, erasing Ahmadis from Pakistan both physically and spiritually.
The history of persecution against Ahmadis is deeply rooted in political dynamics and the manipulation of the masses. Protests against the Ahmadi faith served as a distraction to maintain the self-proclaimed position of guardianship of Islam by political and religious leaders in Pakistan. Discrimination against Ahmadis goes against Prophet Muhammad's teachings, as he repeatedly emphasized not to judge someone's faith. Islam revolves around belief in Allah and worshiping Him, not external appearances or labels.
Despite the persecution, Ahmadis like Nobel laureate Abdus Salam remained fiercely patriotic and devoted to their faith. Salam's grave was desecrated in 2014 to remove the word "Muslim," but he is still respected globally as the man who discovered the "God particle." The erasure of Ahmadis from Pakistan is facilitated by the silence of law enforcement agencies and the government.
In conclusion, Ahmadis in Pakistan are facing persecution and erasure from their own lands in the name of Allah. This discrimination contradicts Prophet Muhammad's teachings and violates their fundamental human rights. The international community must condemn this genocide and advocate for the rights of Ahmadis in Pakistan.

Ahmadis in Pakistan are facing persecution and erasure from their own lands in the name of Allah. The Pakistani media is scared to talk about the issue, and the sentence "Ahmadis are not Muslims" has become a declaration against the entire community. Pakistan, a country created to safeguard the rights of Muslims, has become a place where anyone who is not the "right" kind of Muslim is considered an outsider. Faith is a personal matter between an individual and God, and it is not for humans to judge the veracity of that connection.
Pakistan's flag, meant to represent the existence of minorities, has been tainted by bloodshed and injustice. Ahmadis have been targeted in various ways, including through hate speech by prominent figures. This hate speech reflects a narrative of sidelining and isolating those who are considered not Muslim, as well as those who belong to other faiths and religions. It is about the monopoly of one faith over all others and distorting Mohammad Ali Jinnah's fight for a state for Muslims into a monolith of bigotry.
The persecution of Ahmadis is not new. The 1974 Second Amendment of the Pakistani Constitution labeled Ahmadis as non-Muslims, while Ordinance XX in 1984 made it illegal for Ahmadis to practice their faith. Punishment for doing so includes imprisonment and fines. Recently, three Ahmadis were sentenced to death on blasphemy charges for tearing down posters that urged a boycott of Ahmadis. This persecution is nothing less than a genocide, erasing Ahmadis from Pakistan both physically and spiritually.
The history of persecution against Ahmadis is deeply rooted in political dynamics and the exploitation of masses. The protests against the Ahmadi faith served as a decoy to maintain the self-proclaimed position of the guardian of Islam for political and religious leaders in Pakistan.

The erasure of Ahmadis from Pakistan is aided by the silence of law enforcement agencies and the government.
In conclusion, Ahmadis in Pakistan are facing persecution and erasure from their own lands in the name of Allah. The discrimination against them goes against the teachings of Prophet Muhammad and violates their basic human rights. The international community must stand against this genocide and advocate for the rights of Ahmadis in Pakistan.
