Statement of Ahmadiyya Khalifa following Attacks on Ahmadis in Gujranwala, Pakistan.
Posted on July 29th, 2014
By A. Abdul Aziz,
It is with great regret and devastation that the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community confirms that 3 of its members, including a 7 year old child and an 8 month old infant, have been murdered by local extremists in the area of Kachi-Pump in Gujranwala, Pakistan in a sectarian attack which took place on 27 July 2014 at 8.00 p.m. local time. They were martyred for the sole reason that they were Ahmadi Muslims, whilst local police stood by and watched the massacre.
The deceased are Mrs Bushra Bibi, (exact age not yet known – in her 50s), and her two granddaughters, Hira aged 7 and Kainaat aged 8 months.
Further, Mrs Mubashara Bibi, who was 7 months pregnant, suffered a miscarriage. 8 other women and children are being treated for burns.
In response to this brutal and merciless attack, the World Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad has said:
This attack was an act of the most extreme cruelty and brutality, whereby innocent people who were sitting peacefully in their own homes were attacked and left for dead.
It has been falsely claimed that this attack was provoked by a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. This allegation is completely untrue and without any foundation whatsoever. If those who perpetrated this attack truly felt that 1 person had provoked them then they should have sought his arrest but instead they chose to burn alive an elderly lady and her two granddaughters. In truth, this was an entirely unprovoked assault on all forms of human decency which led to the death of 3 people including 2 very young children.
This attack took place as the local police stood by and watched and took no action. It is yet another example of how the authorities in Pakistan are aiding the persecution of Ahmadi Muslims.
Let it be clear that we Ahmadi Muslims will never undertake any worldly protest and nor will we ever take to the streets. Our response to all of the sustained persecution that we face is, and will always remain, to bow down before Allah the Almighty and to seek His Help and Mercy.
This barbaric attack was conducted in the name of Islam, whilst the truth is that such violence has nothing to do with Islam or its teachings. Such merciless attacks can only be deemed as inhumane in the extreme. These types of vicious assaults are nothing but a stain on the pure and peaceful teachings of Islam.
To kill and to violently oppose is not an act of Islam but it is the act of those people who do not believe in God and do not even possess the most basic human values or decency.
May Allah grant patience to all those left bereaved and to Ahmadi Muslims throughout the world.

Sources say, one of the deceased Mrs Bushra Bibi, (exact age not yet known – in her 50s) – her one the daughter is in Sri Lanka as asylum seeker. This asylum seeker’s husband is in Boosa detention cell. What a tragedy! As per media reports, it is well aware of some Pakistani asylum seekers are in boosa cell.

ALL Pakistani asylum seekers must be DEPORTED from SL.
SL is NOT a place for them.
Pakistan is the home to ALL Muslims in South Asia. Too bad they kill each other. SL should NOT take them in. SL is OVER POPULATED.
May be it is Allah’s (PBUH) way of reducing the number of Muslims who have the highest growth rate. Inshallah!
No one can escape from Allah’s (PBUH) creation and plans. So be it. Please give in to His plans.
Allah (PBUH) made SL for Buddhists, Sinhalese and Sinhalized peoples only. Mashallah!

I agree with Abdul Aziz.
This senseless killings must stop.
During the Ramadan 2014 over 2,300 people have been killed by Muslims in the name of religion (the religion of peace website). Most of the victims are Muslims too. Israeli forces killed only half that in a war. Over 3,500 Muslims have been killed in Ramadan 2014. Close to 1,000 die every year in Haj stampede.
In contrast Buddhists, Christians, Hindus and Jews have NOT killed even 1/10 of it. War casualties cannot be blamed on Jews.
ISIS is spreading to ALL Muslim majority countries except Iran. It is a matter of time it came to SL too. Then it will spread to Europe and north Africa. They eat human flesh too.
At least the violent people should KEEP OUT women and children from their violence. Shame!

Ahamadiyya steadfastly claim they’re the best of the Muslims. But other Muslims and Sunni majority in Pakistan in particular deny Ahmadiyya are Muslims.
We all can read Koran instructing believers to kill non believers. No wonder Mujahids kill Kafir as a sure way of going to Allah’s heaven. I am only puzzled why Aziz writing to complain Pakistani wahabi Mujahids killing Ahmadiyya women and children here. He should plead Allah to email a new command to Pakistani government.
Westerners call this sort of killing sectarian fighting. Whatever it is we couldn’t care less so long as Muslims (real or pretenders) do their fighting outside Sri Lanka. Ahmadiyya should take their baggage to Europe.
Ahmadiyyas should not seek sanitary in Sri Lanka lest this writer A. Abdul Aziz has alleged in Ahmadiyya Times dateline JULY 14, 2014 that there is hate campaign against Muslims in Sri Lanka.
