Dear sirs,
Assalamu Alaikum. First of all I have condemned all terrorism including this heinous attack on Ahmadis in Pakistan.These terrorist law breakers must be punished.
However, the issue is not whether individual Ahmadi person is good or bad. The point is Ahmadi faith is serious deviation from Islam and all senior Islamic scholars of the Muslim world have expressed their opinion that Ahmadi or Qadiani deviation is most major on the issue of Prophethood ( believing that Mirza Golam Ahmad was a prophet of sort,not full prophet, but Zilli and Buruzi prophet and many more such prophets will come).According to these scholars of Islam they have gone out of boundary of Islam and the only way for them to be Muslims is to repent and join any main stream school of thought of Muslims.
I agree with the scholars.If we persist, one day they will repent and return to truth.
Shah Abdul Hannan

>>LAHORE, May 31: Terrorists targeted Lahore´s Jinnah Hospital on Monday

>>Ahmadis´ worship place in Model Town, leaving at least five persons dead
